Today I was working with a client with autoimmune diseases. She had come in for a Corrective Exercise session as well as a Reiki session. She has recently been experiencing adrenal fatigue. I modified the exercises, so that we would not cause more fatigue. For example, resistance band exercises and yoga poses to improve core strength. Adrenal fatigue is a term used by alternative health practitioners to explain tiredness and other symptoms which are thought to be due to chronic (long-term) exposure to stressful ssituations. During the Reiki session, the energy was pulling me toward the root Chakra which is directly related to the adrenal glands. The root chakra is all about our sense of safety and security in this body and life. It is connected with the adrenal glands, which regulate metabolism and the immune system as well as manage the body's stress response. This tells me that we were able to bring healing and balance to the adrenal glands by connecting to the root chakra and higher power.
