Blog: How Does Your Child Sleep?

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my blog! For those who may have missed last month’s blog, I am Shawn.

I am a Reiki Master, and would love to chat about Reiki, the Universe, the Archangels, and our children. For those who may not be familiar with Reiki, it is an ancient form of hands-on healing. However, this is not a massage. Some of the healing benefits range from stress reduction all the way to the relieving of chemical dependencies. Reiki has also been noted to help people reduce the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

So, . They are so open to life’s gifts and blessings. We can learn so much from them. As with anything in life, being so open can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. We briefly discussed the challenges for some kids and parents with crying. I am talking about the wake up in the middle of the night tears, screaming, or even the running into bed with mom and dad. There are many reasons for these outbreaks and I have my opinions about our situation here at home. Regardless of the reason, I know what has been a great help for us.

We begin each bedtime with the following process: 1) Play with the family pet for about 10 minutes. 2) Call in the Archangels and Guardian Angels. We ask them to rest with us and surround us in protection and love. 3) Read a five minute story
book. 4) I administer Reiki as our child is falling asleep.

This process has really minimized the amount of tears that are experienced through the course of the evening. Now, I understand that not everyone can administer Reiki. Other ideas may be to sing or to tell a funny story about your day. The idea is to get their vast minds to think of all of the love and goodness in the world, rather than the stress or burdens of the world. Our kids are so aware of the emotions that surround them, that surround us all…so let’s send them off to sleep with pictures of dancing cupcakes, or rainbows or anything that makes you and your little one smile.

Until next month…sweet dreams!
