Self-Reiki as a Daily Practice for Parents

Self-Reiki as a Daily Practice for Parents For many parents, the idea of caring for themselves can feel unrealistic. Life is full. Children need attention. Responsibilities pile up.

When Parents Begin Healing, Children Stop Carrying the Weight Children are deeply perceptive.

•
Self-Care Is Never Isolated When we think of self-care, we often picture something private—something we do for ourselves. A quiet moment. A breath. A practice meant to refill our own cup.

Understanding Your Energy as a Parent, Changes Parenting

A Framework for Understanding Family Energy Differences
•
When Awareness Leads to Curiosity As parents begin to recognize that children are wired differently, a natural curiosity often follows.

Understanding Energy Differences in Families
•
Families Are Energetic Systems Every family functions as an energetic system long before it becomes a structured household. Each person brings their own rhythm, sensitivity, pace, and way of engaging with the world. When these energies interact, patterns form—some supportive, some challenging, all informative. Many parents assume family tension means something is wrong. In…

Why Every Child Is Wired Differently It’s not Dysfunction
•
Difference Is Not Dysfunction One of the most challenging—and misunderstood—parts of parenting is realizing that children do not respond to life in the same way. What works beautifully for one child may completely miss the mark for another. This difference often creates confusion, frustration, and self-doubt for parents who are doing their best. Many…
