Babies, Colic and Reiki

[cyathea]

My second son who is now 18 months old had the most awful colic and I am wondering if anyone has had any success with treating the symptoms of colic with reiki? It was the MOST stressful time in my entire life, coupled with PND.

I am planning to have another child, and the colic thing is the only thing about it that truly scares me.

I know I would ultimately cope, but i think I have lingering trauma from it all, and it is something I need to work through, and i will be using Reiki to help heal myself from it as well.

I guess sometimes I look back and wish I had had some coping strategies in place, I know there is no point in looking back, I am still haunted by it all though.

So, if I were to have another colicky bub, how could/would Reiki be of benefit?

Hi cyathea

I'm sure reiki can help, but another advise is to see a chiropractor if you have a baby with colic.
One or two treatments to a ciropractor usually helps the baby to get rid of the colic.

Thankyou for that, I took Louie to see a sacral cranio osteopath twice when he was tiny, and unfortunately it did not work. We later found that his colic had something to do with lactose indigestion issues as well, so it was a very long and difficult seven months before he grew out of it.

Well, I have used reiki on crying children to calm them down, one of those episodes were a little child on a plane. I think the airpressure was too much for his ears, so I sent him Reiki and the child slept the rest of the trip... and a while after landing. So I think it can help...
