When it comes to mental clutter caused by depression, anxiety, or work overload, seeking guidance from a Reiki healer can offer a holistic approach to finding balance and clarity. A cluttered mind can be incredibly distressing, causing stress, anxiety, and even physical symptoms. To alleviate this, it’s essential to explore how Reiki healing can assist in decluttering your mind and restoring peace.
Mental clutter can increase stress levels, making it challenging to focus on daily tasks and enjoy life. You might find yourself constantly worrying about the future or ruminating on the past, unable to stay present in the moment.
“Ways someone can identify the need to mentally declutter is if they have racing thoughts or are feeling tired. Remember, the brain is the powerhouse. Other signs are when you focus too much on unimportant things, lack of concentration on conversations, insomnia, and headaches. A person can experience a lot negatively when their mind is cluttered,” said Mel “Luminary Wings” D.
“Seeking guidance and healing from a Reiki healer can offer a holistic approach to finding balance and clarity,” she added.
Luminary Wings is a Reiki Master and Certified Life Coach. She’s been practicing since 2017 after her own healing journey. As a practitioner, she feels energetic blockages, emotional discomfort, and physical pains. Luminary Wings spoke to 21Ninety about what reiki healing is and how they help people with different tools to mentally declutter.
The Power of Reiki
Reiki is a holistic healing technique that involves a practitioner channeling universal life energy into a recipient. This energy helps balance and harmonize the recipient’s energy, addressing physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. Reiki is used to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and release emotional blockages, which can help individuals mentally declutter their minds.
Reiki healers use gentle hand placements on or near the recipient’s body, allowing the energy to flow and alleviate energetic blockages.
“During energetic healing, you can become so relaxed you reach a state of sleepiness or fall asleep. Most people experience a moment of peace mentally as their only job in that moment is to relax. Energy healing sessions can help with immediate and long-term mental overload. In the moment and immediately after, the level of relaxation can help reduce the racing mind or feeling stressed,” Luminary Wings explained.
By facilitating emotional release and relaxation, Reiki promotes a sense of inner calm and clarity, making it a valuable tool for those seeking to regain mental balance and emotional well-being.
Tools to Mentally Declutter
Here are some simple things you can do in your own home or space to mentally declutter.
“Some great tools for decluttering the mind are journaling several times daily, [guided] meditation, or finding an unload buddy. An ‘unload buddy’ is a reciprocal person with whom you agree to share your thoughts and feelings free of pressure or judgment. Also, decluttering physical areas of your life, a digital detox, taking breaks, and more,” she mentioned.
Luminary Wings revealed that one of her favorite ways to mentally declutter is the use of essential oils.
“They’re used in various ways. The most popular ways are through topical application or diffusers. My personal favorite is taking a drop or two into my palms, placing my hands loosely over my face, and deep breathing for 2-3 minutes,” she said.
“Deep breathing has its own benefits, but adding the proper essential oils can amplify the benefits. Some great suggestions are grapefruit, orange, peppermint, and eucalyptus,” Luminary Wings continued.
The Reiki Master also advises people to “create a peace of mind where you can.” For instance she gives herself permission to take deep breath breaks at work every hour and a half.
“A practice I often suggest to my clients includes knowing your responsibility capacity and abiding by that capacity. Practicing task-focused output requires you to focus only on one thing for 10-15 minutes. People often multi-task without realizing it,” she said.
Another great recommendation is setting up boundaries.
“Be okay with saying no and having healthy boundaries with yourself and others. It really starts and stops in the mind with the perspective you choose to utilize. Once you have the perspective that you have permission to slow down, have a breather, and become rejuvenated it becomes your routine.”
Mental Clutter Or Essential Thoughts
Before seeking guidance from a reiki healer, Luminary Wings wants people to confirm if it’s mental clutter or essential thoughts, assess whether the thought is constructive, relevant, and serves your goals.
“Mental clutter consists of repetitive, unnecessary thoughts that cause distress and hinder focus. Essential thoughts are purposeful, productive, and relevant to daily life, contributing to a clear and organized mind,” Luminary Wings shared. “Differentiating between the two involves recognizing and prioritizing thoughts that serve your well-being and goals.”
When things like depression, anxiety, or work overload create mental clutter, seeking help from a Reiki healer can provide an alternative path toward mental clarity and emotional balance. The holistic nature of Reiki healing, focused on energy balance and emotional release, can help you find peace and tranquility in your mind. By exploring this approach, you may discover new ways to declutter your mind and experience a sense of well-being.
