Why You Might Feel More Sensitive Lately – and How Reiki Helps

Have you been feeling unusually emotional, tired, or on edge lately — even if nothing major has changed in your day-to-day life?

You’re not alone.

Many people are noticing increased emotional sensitivity, vivid dreams, sudden fatigue, or a general sense of being “off.” As a Reiki practitioner, I see these patterns emerge in clients time and again — and there’s often a deeper energetic reason behind them.

Let’s explore why this might be happening, and how Reiki can help you find balance again.

The Energetic Weather Is Shifting

Just like physical weather changes our outer world, energetic weather — like solar flares, full moons, planetary alignments, and seasonal shifts — affects our inner world.

For example:

• Solar activity (like flares and geomagnetic storms) can stir up our nervous system, leaving us feeling anxious, irritable, or exhausted.

• Lunar cycles, especially supermoons and new moons, can heighten intuition and emotions.

• Seasonal transitions, like the shift from summer to autumn, naturally call us inward — but our busy lives often don’t allow space for that, creating inner resistance or overwhelm.

• Collective energy — especially when many people are processing grief, fear, or uncertainty — can subtly impact those who are sensitive or empathic.

If you're picking up on this, you're likely intuitively attuned, even if you don’t realise it yet.

Why This Makes You More Sensitive

Your energy body responds to all of this — especially if you're already an empath, lightworker, or someone going through personal transformation.

You might notice:

• Feeling easily overwhelmed by noise, people, or information

• Mood swings or tearfulness

• Difficulty sleeping or vivid dreams

• Body tension or heaviness

• Emotional "bubbling up" of old memories or grief

This isn’t a setback — it’s your body and soul asking for gentle support and integration.

How Reiki Supports You During Sensitive Times

Reiki is a deeply calming energy healing technique that helps regulate your nervous system, balance your energy, and gently release anything that no longer serves you.

Here’s how Reiki can help when you're feeling sensitive:

• 🌿 Calms the mind and body Reiki activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” state), helping reduce anxiety, tension, and emotional overwhelm.

• 💫 Clears energetic overload Reiki gently clears energetic clutter you may have picked up from others or the environment.

• 🌙 Supports emotional release Feelings that have been building up — sadness, fear, frustration — can safely surface and soften during Reiki.

• 🌸 Rebuilds energetic boundariesSensitive people often give too much. Reiki helps restore a sense of energetic sovereignty, allowing you to feel safe and centred.

• 🌟 Reconnects you to your higher self In the stillness of Reiki, you reconnect with your inner wisdom, peace, and light — which helps you move through challenges with more clarity and grace.

  
  

You Don’t Have to “Fix” Anything — Just Be Held

One of the beautiful things about Reiki is that you don’t need to “do” anything. You simply receive. Even when you're unsure what’s going on emotionally, the Reiki energy knows what to do.

If you're feeling more emotional, fragile, or energetically “full” — that’s not a weakness. It’s an invitation to pause, tune in, and restore.
