Energy Isn’t Woo: How Reiki Supports Nervous System Recovery

Last Updated:

Reiki helps regulate the nervous system and ease chronic stress — especially when you don’t have the words to explain what’s going on.

It’s easy to dismiss energy work as “woo.” But the truth is, our bodies are energy — constantly responding to emotional and environmental stress.

Reiki may feel subtle, but it’s deeply powerful when it comes to regulating the nervous system — especially for people stuck in a loop of overwork, anxiety, or emotional shutdown.

Here’s how Reiki can support recovery:

  • Activates the parasympathetic system (rest and digest)
  • Reduces cortisol and calms chronic stress responses
  • Allows the body to begin repairing from burnout
  • Provides emotional release without needing to process verbally

For many in hospitality, there’s little space to pause or process. Reiki offers that space — quietly, gently, and with no expectations.
