Welcome to Soulstice

Let’s be honest, stress is basically that clingy friend who never takes a hint. Whether it’s juggling work deadlines, family chaos, or simply trying to keep up with your laundry mountain (we’ve all been there), stress has a way of camping out in your shoulders and clouding your brain like waking up and trying to function after a sleepless night.

But here’s the good news: stress doesn’t get the final word. Remember in last month’s blog when we talked about Local Resources for End-of-Life Care? We touched on how support makes all the difference. Reiki is another kind of support, one that focuses directly on calming your nervous system and bringing your mind back into focus.

So, what is Reiki again?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese energy-healing practice that works a lot like plugging in your phone charger, except you’re the phone, and instead of electricity, you’re getting a boost from universal life force energy. A Reiki session involves light touch or hands hovering just above the body, guiding energy to flow where it’s needed most. No complicated rituals, no heavy lifting, just calm, soothing vibes.

Stress, meet your match

We’ve talked before about how grief, change, or even daily overwhelm can weigh heavy on our bodies (see: Navigating Grief: Understanding the Stages of Mourning). Reiki helps take that “fight-or-flight” mode we all get stuck in and flips it back to “rest-and-digest.” Clients often describe it as sinking into a warm bath, (without the pruney fingers or the water bill).

Hello mental clarity, goodbye brain fog

Stress isn’t just physical, it scrambles your thoughts, too. Reiki clears the mental clutter so you can finally think straight again. Clients leave sessions saying things like, “Wow, I didn’t realize how loud my brain was until it got quiet.” That clarity helps you feel more grounded, make better decisions, and maybe even remember why you walked into the kitchen in the first place.

The ripple effect

Here’s the kicker: Reiki benefits don’t stop when the session ends. That calm, centered energy lingers, often showing up as better sleep, easier breathing, and the ability to stay cool when someone cuts you off in traffic (which, let’s face it, that can require a lot of restraint).

Is Reiki magic?

Not exactly. Reiki doesn’t make life’s problems disappear, it helps your body and mind do what they already know how to do: reset, recharge, and heal.
