Why Your Nervous System Has Been Screaming (and What Energy Healing Can Do About It)
You are not broken, you are dysregulated.
There is a difference. One implies something is wrong with you. The other says: your nervous system has been doing exactly what it was designed to do — protect you — and it has been doing it for so long that it has forgotten how to stop.
For many BIPOC women, for women living in diaspora, for women who grew up in households where calm was a luxury — the nervous system learned early that vigilance was survival. Hypervigilance, overachievement, constant readiness, the body locked itself into a state of alert, and that state became home.
What dysregulation actually feels like
Exhausted but unable to rest: your mind races even when your body is flat.
Irritable for no clear reason: small things feel enormous.
Disconnected from your body: you live from the neck up.
Feeling like you are performing your own life: going through motions without presence.
Difficulty receiving care: help feels suspicious or overwhelming.
Sound familiar? This is physiology shaped by experience.
What Reiki does on your nervous system and why it works for this
The systeme of Reiki is not performance. It is not crystals on Instagram or wellness aesthetics. It is a quiet, disciplined practice of presence that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting the body's own capacity to regulate.
The vagus nerve, the longest cranial nerve, connecting brain to heart to gut, is deeply involved in our ability to feel safe. Reiki sessions consistently produce the conditions under which the vagus nerve can settle: slowed breath, reduced muscle tension, a felt sense of safety in the body.
For women who have spent years making themselves smaller, producing more, holding space for everyone else, a Reiki session is often the first time in a long time the body is allowed to receive without giving anything back.
Rest is a right, and your nervous system knows this, even when you have forgotten.
Distance sessions: healing without borders
One of the most consistently surprising things clients share after distance Reiki sessions is that they felt it: the warmth, the heaviness lifting, the unexpected tears and the deep sleep afterward.
Distance is not a barrier in energetic work. I practice from Brussels. My clients are in London, Dublin, Montreal, New York. The session happens in real time. You lie down, I work, you receive.
If your nervous system has been running on empty, if you are tired of being tired, this might be where you start.
