Statista named the top 20 countries with the longest life expectancies. These countries have made great strides in improving their citizens' quality and length of life. The top five countries are:
1. Japan
2. Singapore
3. South Korea
4. Norway
5. Australia
These countries have consistently ranked high in life expectancy due to various factors, such as access to quality healthcare, a healthy diet, and a low smoking rate. This year, Japan tops the list.
There are many possible reasons why Japan has a long life expectancy, but one probable cause is that many people in Japan practice reiki. It is an energy-healing form that can promote relaxation and well-being. It is believed that by helping to reduce stress, reiki can also boost the immune system and promote healing. While no conclusive scientific evidence supports these claims, its positive effects may help contribute to Japan's long life expectancy.
This alternative therapy improves the function of the endocrine system. This therapy involves the use of energy to promote healing. It effectively treats various conditions, including those that affect the endocrine system.
What Is the Endocrine System?
It is a collection of glands that produce and secrete hormones. These hormones regulate the body's growth, metabolism, and sexual function. It also comprises the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, the parathyroid gland, the adrenal gland, the pancreas, and the gonads. Each of these glands produces hormones that affect different body processes.
The pituitary gland, for example, produces hormones that regulate growth, blood pressure, and the function of other endocrine glands. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. The adrenal gland produces hormones that regulate the body's response to stress.
The endocrine system is vital to the proper functioning of the body because it helps to maintain homeostasis or the stable internal environment of the body. Disorders of the endocrine system are common and can be caused by various factors, including genetic makeup, infections, autoimmune diseases, and tumours.
How Reiki Supports a Healthy Endocrine System
When our endocrine system is out of balance, it can result in various symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and anxiety. Reiki can be used to help balance the energy in the body and promote healing. Different ways to receive this include self-treatment, treatment from a practitioner, and distance healing.
Self-treatment is an excellent way to start if you are new to this therapy. It is simple to learn and can be done anywhere, anytime. You need your hands and a comfortable place to sit or lie.
Place your hands on your belly, just below your navel, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you breathe, visualise your breath moving into your stomach and filling your entire body with light. Allow your hands to rest here for 5-10 minutes. You may feel a warmth or tingling in your hands, or you may feel relaxed.
Many qualified practitioners are available if you are interested in receiving treatment from a practitioner. Treatment from a practitioner can be done in person or remotely. During a treatment, the practitioner will place their hands on or near your body, depending on your comfort level. They will focus their energy on balancing your body and promoting healing.
Conclusion
The endocrine system is of utmost importance to our overall health because it regulates our hormones, which affect our mood, energy levels, metabolism, and many other functions. When our endocrine system is out of balance, it leads to various health problems. Therefore, we must do everything we can to keep our endocrine system healthy.
