Autism!
It may seem strange to you to find this on
an equine site, but as the mother of a child
with an autistic spectrum disorder, I have
found Reiki to have a deep and profound
impact on her behavior.
Recent studies have shown measurable
changes in autistic children who receive
Reiki.
Reiki is not a cure for autism/Aspergers but
using the movement of Chi through the
body, I can address some of the side-
issues that autistic children experience
such as:
* Sleep troubles
* relaxation
* anxiety
* stress
* tight muscles
Part of the difficulty with autism is the
extreme anxiety--anxiety over social
interactions, anxiety during transitions,
anxiety when facing changes of the smallest
degree. It makes it difficult to fall asleep
and stay asleep. Heachaches and stomach-
aches abound in these children.
Reiki can help calm the fears of these
overly-anxious beings. It is not uncommon
for autistic children to begin to sleep better
after the first treatment.
Again, Reiki is safe, natural and can be done
without even touching the child if they are
extremely touch sensitive, stranger-shy,
or hyperactive.
I can also do attunements to parents,
care-givers. I can also attune the child
himself so he can use Reiki to self-soothe.
What better tool than to empower your
autistic child with the ability to calm himself
in a socially acceptable manner?
