Reiki for Perimenopause & Menopause

Perimenopause and menopause aren’t just medical milestones — they are initiations. A crossing into the Wise Woman phase, the archetype often referred to as the Crone or Elder Goddess. This transition is physical, yes — but it’s also deeply energetic, emotional, and spiritual. And each piece impacts the others.

As hormones decline and fluctuate, the subtle body (the chakras, meridians, and energy systems) responds in its own language: heat, tension, fatigue, insomnia, intuition spikes, emotional waves, even sudden bursts of kundalini-like warmth. These aren’t “symptoms to fix” as much as signals — your energy body trying to recalibrate while everything shifts beneath the surface.

This is where Reiki comes in.

Reiki offers a soothing, balancing, deeply restorative field for the body to regulate itself. It harmonizes the endocrine system, calms the nervous system, and supports the emotional body through every fluctuation.

At its heart, Reiki helps the body remember how to find its own rhythm again.

Why Menopause Is an Energetic Transition — Not Just a Hormonal One

Women move through life in cycles — maiden, mother, crone — and each phase is a metamorphosis. During menopause, the physical body winds down its reproductive role… while the subtle body amplifies.

Your intuition sharpens. Your inner sight awakens. Your connection to meaning and purpose deepens.

Energetically, women often experience:

• Rising heat or tingling in chakra points

• Surges of creative or intuitive energy

• Heightened sensitivity

• Emotional release

• Shifts in identity or direction

• Physical “messages” from the sacral or third eye centres

This is because, as estrogen and progesterone decline, the energy system begins to reorganize itself. The sacral and third eye chakras in particular enter a highly active phase of rebalancing.

Think of it as your body rewriting the script — moving from physical fertility to spiritual fertility.

Why the Sacral Chakra Matters So Much During Menopause

The Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) is the energetic center of:

• Hormonal balance

• Creativity

• Sensuality

• Emotional flow

• Boundaries

• Feminine power

• Womb wisdom

It’s no surprise that menopause symptoms often show up here:

• Hot flashes

• Mood swings

• Fatigue

• Low libido

• Pain or tension in the hips, womb, or lower back

• Digestive changes

• Anxiety or irritability

• Feeling “unrooted”

Reiki helps re-regulate this centre by bringing a wave of gentle warmth and flow back into the pelvis and womb space. When the sacral chakra stabilizes, the endocrine system follows — and many menopause symptoms naturally ease.

This chakra is also deeply tied to emotional shedding. As the old cycles end, the sacral asks:
What are you ready to release? What new identity wants to emerge?

Reiki creates a safe, nurturing space for that transition.

The Third Eye Chakra: Your Inner Compass During Hormonal Shifts

The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) is directly linked to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland — the hormonal command centers of the body.

Balanced, this chakra supports:

• Sleep regulation

• Clear thinking

• Emotional steadiness

• Stress reduction

• Intuition and inner guidance

• Healthy metabolic rhythms

• Nervous system balance

During menopause, an overworked nervous system and fluctuating hormones often create:

• Insomnia

• Brain fog

• Anxiety

• Overwhelm

• Difficulty focusing

• Heightened sensitivity

• Racing thoughts

• Emotional spikes

Reiki helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the “rest and restore” mode — bringing calm to the mind and harmony to the endocrine system.
This is why so many women report:

• Clearer thinking

• Better sleep

• Fewer hot flashes

• Improved mood

• A deeper sense of inner steadiness

after even one session.

Why Touch, Presence, and the Nervous System Matter

Menopause symptoms don’t exist in isolation — they are amplified by chronic stress, emotional fatigue, and the pressure to “push through.”

Therapeutic touch has been clinically shown to:

• Reduce stress

• Lower pain

• Improve sleep

• Ease anxiety and depression

• Support immune function

• Enhance emotional regulation

Reiki amplifies this effect by shifting the body into a state where:

• Muscles relax

• Circulation improves

• Tension drains

• Hormones rebalance

• Energy can move freely again

It’s not just the energy. It’s the holding. The space to breathe. The quiet room where nothing is demanded of you. The sensation of being supported instead of depleted. This alone is medicine.

How Reiki Sessions Support Perimenopause & Menopause

Women often seek Reiki during this transition for:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Emotional swings

• Anxiety and overwhelm

• Fatigue

• Insomnia

• Low libido

• Brain fog

• Irritability

• Loss of identity

• Physical tension (hips, pelvis, lower back, neck)

• Spiritual realignment

Each session brings the body back into a parasympathetic state — the place where healing happens. The endocrine system responds to this calm. The chakras stabilize. The mind unwinds. And the woman beneath the symptoms re-emerges.

The Wise Woman Awakens

Menopause is not a decline — it’s an ascension into a more potent phase of life. It is the moment you move from giving life to others…to giving life to yourself. A time of intuition. A time of clarity. A time of reclaiming your voice, boundaries, needs, and inner knowing. Reiki doesn’t “fix” menopause — but it supports the body, spirit, and nervous system so you can walk this passage with grace, steadiness, and self-compassion. You were never meant to do this alone. Your body is speaking. Your energy is shifting.
And there is deep support available for every step.

A Few Notes Before You Dive In

• Always pair Reiki with conventional medical or psychological care when needed.

• Be gentle with yourself. Healing doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it feels like stillness, waiting, or unraveling.

• There is no “wrong” way to experience Reiki. Even small subtle shifts, insights, or moments of calm are meaningful.

If you’re curious to experience a Reiki session, explore how it might support your transition or calm your nervous system, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
