Grief is more than just an emotional or psychological process—it is also an energetic experience. Loss, whether it’s the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a significant life transition, creates a ripple effect in our energy field. The weight of unprocessed grief can manifest in physical discomfort, emotional stagnation, and a deep sense of disconnection from oneself.
Energy healing offers a gentle yet profound way to navigate grief, helping to clear blockages, restore balance, and facilitate emotional release and transformation. Through modalities like Reiki, Shiatsu, and Shamanic healing, we can reconnect with our inner wisdom and allow grief to move through us, rather than remain stuck within us.
How Energy Healing Supports the Grief Journey
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses on processing grief through the mind, energy healing works at a deeper, somatic level. The body and energy field hold onto emotions and trauma in ways we may not be consciously aware of. Healing sessions help to:
🌿 Release stuck energy – Grief can create stagnation in the body, leading to exhaustion and emotional numbness. Energy work helps restore natural flow.
🌙 Provide deep relaxation – Healing touch and energy work activate the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body out of fight-or-flight mode into a state of peace and restoration.
🔥 Support emotional processing – Many people find that emotions arise naturally in a session, allowing for a safe and guided release.
🌀 Rebalance the chakras – Loss and transition often cause imbalances in the heart, root, and solar plexus chakras, affecting our sense of safety, self-worth, and connection to love. 💖 Reconnect you to your inner self – Grief can make us feel lost, but energy healing can help re-establish a sense of wholeness and inner wisdom.
Reiki for Grief: Gentle Healing for the Heart & Soul
Reiki is a powerful, non-invasive form of energy healing that channels universal life force energy into the body. During a Reiki session for grief, I focus on:
✨ The Heart Chakra – Supporting emotional healing and release of sadness
✨ The Solar Plexus – Restoring confidence and personal power after loss
✨ The Root Chakra – Providing grounding and stability during uncertain times
Clients often experience warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation, as grief-related energy shifts and releases. Reiki works beautifully alongside other healing practices to nurture the soul during times of profound change.
Shiatsu: Physical & Energetic Release for Grief
Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork that blends acupressure, gentle stretching, and energy balancing along the meridians of the body. For grief healing, Shiatsu:
🌿 Relieves tension stored in the body – Especially in the chest, shoulders, and diaphragm, where grief often manifests physically.
🌿 Regulates the Lung Meridian – In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lungs are associated with grief; Shiatsu helps to release held emotions and restore balance.
🌿 Encourages breath and movement – Helping to shift stagnant energy that can make us feel stuck.
Shiatsu is especially helpful for those who feel the physical weight of grief, whether it’s tightness in the chest, digestive discomfort, or an overall sense of heaviness.
Shamanic Healing & Sound Therapy: A Soul-Level Approach to Grief
Grief is not just emotional; it affects us at a soul level. Shamanic healing offers a unique way to reconnect with lost parts of ourselves and gain insight into our healing journey. Through shamanic drumming, guided journeying, and sound healing, this practice can:
🌀 Provide messages from spirit guides or loved ones – Helping you feel supported on your path.
🌀 Clear energetic imprints of grief – Especially if the loss was sudden or traumatic.
🌀 Reconnect you to your own wisdom – Assisting you in finding meaning in the transition.
Using singing bowls, drumming, and vocal sound healing, we create a vibrational shift that allows stuck emotions to move and release gently.
What to Expect in a Healing Session for Grief
Each session is tailored to your unique experience, but a grief-supporting energy session may include:
💫 A grounding meditation to settle emotions and center the energy field
💫 Gentle Shiatsu pressure work to open blocked meridians
💫 Reiki healing focused on the heart and root chakras
💫 Sound healing and breathwork to release trapped grief
💫 An oracle card reading for spiritual insight and guidance
At the end of the session, you will feel lighter, more at peace, and gently held in your healing process.
You Don’t Have to Carry Grief Alone
Grief is a journey, not a destination. It ebbs and flows, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Energy healing provides a safe, nurturing, and sacred space to support your process, no matter where you are in your journey.
