Namaste!
My stepson is a warm, loving, bright, inquisitive and artistic child. In many ways he surprises me about his intuitive understanding about God and the universe (his Dad and I think he may be an "Indigo child.") However, he does have some behavioral problems -- difficulty getting along with peers at times, acting out physically, emotionally and verbally in inappropriate ways, and does not respond to reward/punishment. He does go through periods of depression, which I think contribute to his acting out behavior. Lately he has been really difficult to deal with -- we are at our wits' end.
He knows I do Reiki and will ask for it if he is not feeling well. I'm curious if anyone has worked with children, given them Reiki for emotional problems and whether or not that has helped? We're doing everything else we can with behavior modification methods and talking to him about and acknowledging how he feels, but I suspect there is something emotional beneath it all that is causing him pain and we aren't able to reach it through our usual approaches. If I were to do Reiki on him, do you have any suggestions on how to approach it?
Thank you & blessings.
