Reiki and Weight Loss: How Reiki Can Help You Control Your Weight

Reiki is not often connected with weight loss, but can be a positive addition to your weight control regime.
In the modern world we are so pressurised by worries about the economy, our relationships, jobs and the news that we often eat sweet and fatty treats to soothe our feelings, help us relax and make us feel safe.
As children, when we cried our parents often distracted us with sweets or biscuits to help us feel better and as adults we can often be searching for that same sense of security we felt as children in response to anxiety.
Reiki is an observable system measurable only in its effects, which research has shown to decrease anxiety, help relaxation, promote restful sleep and generally improve quality of life. When we are relaxed, we obviously feel less anxious and are therefore less likely to self soothe with food.
When dieting, research is increasingly showing that good sleep patterns of eight hours a night in total darkness can support weight loss.
In addition, Level 2 practitioners are trained in a programme to help reduce bad habits and promote good ones. We have anecdotal evidence that this can be a very positive experience for those who wish to control their weight and reduce their BMI (Body Mass Indicator) to a healthy number. BMI is calculated by multiplying weight in kilograms by height in metres squared or weight in pounds times height in inches squared. A healthy BMI is in the range of 18.5 - 25 and a BMI of over 30 is an indicator that extra weight is becoming a health risk.
Level 2 practitioners are also given an emotional programme that can help people to think differently about their eating habits, feel more motivated and generally become motivated in connection with their health.
In addition, regular Reiki treatments can help you maintain your weight, once you have reached your goal. How many times have you dieted, lost weight, only to put it on again - and more - once you have finished your diet. We have anecdotal evidence that Reiki can help you to choose to eat a healthier diet with regular treatments.
Reiki can help you relax and reduce anxiety not only generally, but also with respect to your diet - we often worry whether our diet is working, whether it's working fast enough and how long it's going to take to reach our goal weight. Reiki can help eliminate those repetitive thoughts through relaxation and anxiety reduction.

Anorexia - An Effective Way of Losing Weight?

Losing weight is hard work, no doubt. To be able to achieve that perfectly sexy figure, you have to eat less of your favorite food and more of those healthy veggies plus lots of exercise. But not everyone is gifted with a lot of time to be able to exercise and going green and organic is actually a bit pricey. Because of this, people who can't lose weight would then opt out of eating. What they would do, then, is to just stop eating. This is actually a very serious case of weight loss because people are actually depriving themselves of eating food, something that is essential to the body. The medical term for this is Anorexia nervosa, but this is commonly known as Anorexia. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that people have and do in order to lose weight. Because they can't lose weight the usual way, anorexics starve themselves just so that they could lose weight. This is actually very effective if the main goal is just to lose weight.
