Reiki for Emotional Healing: How It Helps Release Deep Trauma
Have you ever felt like you're carrying a weight that isn’t visible to others? Maybe you smile through the day, but deep inside, you’re exhausted. You’ve moved on from painful events, or at least you’ve tried to. But the ache still lingers — quiet, persistent, unspoken.
This emotional burden is more common than we think. Whether it’s the result of childhood wounds, heartbreak, betrayal, grief, or trauma, it often doesn’t leave our system just because we want it to. These emotional imprints remain stored in our energy field. And unless we gently release them, they can block our happiness, confidence, and peace.
This is where Reiki becomes a divine blessing.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese healing technique that uses the natural flow of universal life energy. It works on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels to restore balance and harmony within the body and soul. The word “Reiki” is made up of two parts—Rei, which means “universal,” and Ki, meaning “life energy.”
As a certified Reiki healer and intuitive guide, I—Ashhita from Divine Tarot by Ashhita—believe Reiki is more than just a therapy. It’s a spiritual experience that allows us to heal from the inside out.
How Emotional Trauma Affects Us
Trauma isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes, it comes in quiet ways—a harsh word, a broken promise, a moment when we didn’t feel safe. These experiences, especially if they are repeated or ignored, get stored in our bodies as emotional energy.
You might have:
- A tightness in your chest that you can’t explain
- Difficulty trusting people or opening your heart
- Repeating emotional patterns in relationships
- Sudden waves of sadness or anger
- Low self-esteem or lack of motivation

How Reiki Heals Emotional Wounds
Reiki doesn’t force healing—it invites it. It allows your body and soul to relax enough to release what no longer serves you.
Here’s how Reiki helps heal deep emotional trauma:
1. Releases Blocked Energy
Trauma blocks the natural flow of energy. Reiki clears these blocks gently, allowing emotions to surface and move out of your system. Many clients report feeling lighter or even emotional after a session—that’s the release happening.
2. Calms the Nervous System
When we’re carrying emotional pain, our nervous system is often in a state of alert. Reiki soothes the body, slows the mind, and helps shift you from "fight or flight" into a state of deep rest and healing.
3. Heals the Heart Chakra
The heart chakra is where we hold love, compassion, and grief. If you’ve experienced heartbreak or betrayal, it may be energetically closed. Reiki helps to gently open and balance this space, so you can love—and be loved—freely again.
4. Connects You to Inner Peace
Reiki doesn’t just heal what’s broken—it reconnects you to your highest self. You begin to feel more in tune with your emotions, more confident in your decisions, and more grounded in who you are.
Combining Reiki with Tarot: A Sacred Experience
At Divine Tarot by Ashhita, we don’t stop at energy healing. I offer a combination of Reiki and Tarot reading, which creates a full-circle healing experience.
While Reiki works energetically, Tarot brings clarity. The cards help us understand:
- Where your emotional wounds come from
- What karmic lessons are being repeated
- What your soul truly needs to heal
This combination allows you to not only release past pain but also step into a future that aligns with your inner truth.
Your Healing Journey Begins with You
You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to be “strong” all the time. Healing is not about perfection—it’s about being gentle with yourself.
If you’ve been feeling emotionally heavy, disconnected, or unsure why the same patterns keep repeating, Reiki might be the key your soul has been waiting for.
Every session at Divine Tarot by Ashhita is tailored with love, intention, and divine guidance. Whether you need to release, reset, or realign, you will be held in a safe space of unconditional support.
