How Reiki Healing Can Help Boost Your Self-Esteem

​Boost Your Self-Esteem Month

February is International Boost Your Self-Esteem Month. It is dedicated to helping people around the world learn ways in which they can boost their self-esteem. The way I know how to help people in this area, and what has worked for me has been energy healing, specifically Reiki energy healing. ​In this article I will point out how Reiki energy healing can help you overcome any blocks you may be experiencing when it comes to boosting your self-esteem. This information came to me as a vision and I saw how the chakras are connected to our communication, support, respect, and skill building abilities.

​What is Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem is how you think and feel about yourself. People with high self-esteem are considered to be confident, strong in the face of challenges, and supportive of others. One develops self-esteem in two main ways; the first way is through external validation; these are the messages we receive from others about ourselves. About who we are and our abilities. When someone compliments you that increases your self-esteem. Other people can help build us up or break us down and in turn we can do the same for others. Giving other people compliments or recognizing them for something they’ve done can also make us feel good and in turn boost our self-esteem. The second way; is through our internal influence which is determined by the quality of our thoughts and feelings about who we think we are. It is important to use both ways in a balanced manner to become both a confident and loving person.

​How I Worked On My Self-Esteem with Energy Healing

I remember sitting in my first therapist’s office, at the age of 13 or 14, completely confused and unable to say much when the therapist asked me to name any positive qualities I thought I had. I may have said, “I’m good at drawing” after several minutes of silence. But I’m not sure. At the time that’s all I could have tangibly seen was true about me. I don't remember much about that year of therapy other than being given anti-depressants, which I took for 10 years.
