Constipation is a problem, which is very common in our western society.  Our diet and lifestyle factors play an enormous part in this disorder.

The regular habit of taking laxatives is not only harmful to the colon wall but can actually cause constipation.  Laxatives are sometimes quite harsh and irritating and often regular use can lead to dependency and later ulceration of the colon.

Quite a lot of people are under the impression that if they go to the toilet 2-3 times per week all the time that this means that they are “regular”, this is not so.  Everyone should eliminate at least once a day and preferably 2-3 times per day.  After all you do tend to eat 3-4 times a day don’t you!  Of course we are all individuals and there will be a variation here, but it is a must that you pass stools at least once a day, otherwise a build up of toxins occurs in the colon and eventually these toxins are circulated around the entire system causing numerous disorders/diseases over a given period of time.

It is essential that a good quantity of water is always included in the daily diet.  If the constipation has been present for quite some time herbal medicine and various supplements may be required to bring about an elimination and to establish regularity so then the body can learn to function again on its own on a daily basis.

Most people think that if they eat a healthy diet including plenty of fibre that they should be OK, but again, there is more to constipation than a good fibrous diet!  Check out your emotions!

Treatments with Reiki will allow the person to focus on issues that they may have suppressed.  Those issues that they refuse to “let go” of.  Emotionally holding onto things/people that we have outgrown can only hinder our progress on our spiritual path.  We are all here to learn and grow and by holding onto past issues, feelings, material things etc that are no longer needed/productive for us makes us tense.  When you are tense this in turn can affect the colon – which in turn will tense up also.  Let go of what you no longer need.  Reiki helps you to relax and let go.  Begin to flow with Life and enjoy yourself with ease!
