Healer Anxiety Busters

Managing anxiety involves a multifaceted approach that combines healing and retraining your energy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication. Each time you receive Reiki, Intuitive Energy Healing, Sound Healing, or Energy Clearing, you go deeper to clear your root cause challenges and reprogram the way you re-act to triggering situations. Over time, things that used to trigger you, just don’t.

Anxiety is your body’s way of saying, “Stop! I’m experiencing too much stress all at once.” Anxiety now affects 1/3 of adult Americans (32%) and  suffer from anxiety and depression symptoms, according to a 2023 census report.

We give you anti-anxiety tools during your healings. Here some of our favorite tools and techniques to stop anxiety in its tracks.

Deep breathing when anxiety hits

The first thing that goes when anxious or stressed is the breath. If you are breathing at all, you often breathe shallowly. The simple act of a several deep breaths can ground you back into the

Take slow, deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Breathe 5 seconds in and 5 second out through the nose. Pay attention to the sensation of your breath entering and leaving your body. Learn more in the Breathe for better health and spiritual healing blog.

As this person put after her Reiki Healing, “I feel light, invigorated, uplifted, happier, at peace and grounded all at the same time.”

Healers focus on healthy lifestyle to curb anxiety

Anxiety often arises to alert you to take care of basic body needs. The wrong foods, toxins, drugs, alcohol AND negative thoughts and emotions spike anxiety.

• Healthy diet. Eating healthy food, including limit your sugar, caffeine, and alcohol? WebMD says to avoid “processed meat, fried food, refined cereals, candy, pastries, and high-fat dairy products” if you tend to be anxious or depressed. Instead choose “diet full of whole fiber-rich grains, fruits, vegetables, and fish can help keep you on a more even keel.”
• Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can bring on anxiety.
• Exercise reduces anxiety. According to the Harvard Health, “exercise reduces levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. It also stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators…Although any exercise helps, walking, jogging, and yoga that use large muscle groups in a rhythmic, repetitive fashion work best; call it “’muscular meditation.’”
• Minimize caffeine and alcohol if anxious or depressed. If you are feeling depressed, avoid alcohol as it can depress you further.
• Limit Media Exposure. Limiting exposure to news and social media, especially during times of heightened stress, can help reduce anxiety.
• Have fun. Research shows that leisure activities like listening to calming music, taking a warm bath, and spending time with friends reduces stress and increases positive emotions.

Healer: retrain your thinking patterns

Keep those meditative moments during your healing. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings.

Practice being in the moment every day to avoid angst moments. Only think about what you are doing right now—when you pee, shower, brush your teeth, or drive your car. There is rarely anything fearful or anxiety-producing in the right now.

Most strong negative feelings have their roots in the past or future. Notice your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment calmly—the definition of mindfulness. Where do you feel them in your body? Breathe and send love to those body parts. Accept all of you, especially your feelings of upset, depression, or anger as they are parts of you that are ready to heal. Let them!

Water is a healer that dries up anxiety

Drinking plain water curbs anxiety and depression as you focus on gulping the water. Since your brain is 75% water, water is a vital nutrition to think. Dehydration cause the brain to slow down and produce more stress-producing cortisol. Read more at World Journal of Psychiatry 2018 study that showed that drinking more water lowered the risks of anxiety and depression versus those who drank less water.

Feel happier by drinking water with greater serotonin production, the feel-good neurotransmitter that improves your mood, memory, sexual pleasure, sleep, and decreases pain.

Improve your judgment and decision-making by simply drinking enough water.

PANIC ATTACK: Splash cold water on your face and drink cold water slowly for panic attacks. The cold water cause your body to produce norepinephrine, a brain chemical that produces feeling of calm, happiness, and well-being. It also activates your vagus nerve, a part of your parasympathetic nervous system that calms you down.

Take a cold shower to shock yourself back into your body. Visualize the upset and negative energies washing off your body. Rinse off with cold water to wake up out of the negativity.
