How to Move On—How Reiki & Sound Therapy Can Help

Moving on after heartbreak or trauma isn't just about time passing. It isn’t a single moment - it’s a gentle unraveling of expectations, emotions, and the echo of memories. It’s about learning to carry memories with forgiveness and tenderness, not pain. Whether you're grieving the loss of someone, a dream, an incident or an old version of yourself, the weight you feel is real. Emotional pain settles not only in the mind—it roots itself deep in the body and spirit.

Many people experiencing emotional pain feel disconnected or weighed down. Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique, works by channeling universal life force energy into the body to promote balance and emotional release. Reiki helps to restore flow in the body’s energy centers supporting emotional release without needing to relive the heartbreak or trauma. It’s not about forgetting the past, but about easing the energetic imprints of emotional pain. With each session, the heart softens, the breath deepens, and inner stillness returns. Through intuitive Reiki clients often report feeling a sense of warmth, clarity, or lightness—like something heavy has finally lifted.

Sound therapy, on the other hand, works with vibration and frequency. Instruments like crystal bowls, tuning forks, or gongs produce sound waves to shift stagnant energy and recalibrate the nervous system. These sounds soothe the nervous system and interrupt anxious or depressive thought patterns. The frequencies speak to the subconscious, reminding the body how to relax, feel safe and trust again.

How Spiritual Practices Support Healing

Emotional pain is not just in your mind—it affects your whole body and spirit. Spiritual practices like Reiki healing and sound therapy in Perth support you to move through and process the pain. Together they create the condition within you to forgive and accept the past - to heal within. These holistic therapies can help you to release and transmute those energetic imprints that no longer serve you into more positive and loving behaviours and thought patterns.

Practical Steps to Moving On Towards Emotional Healing

Many of my clients reach out to me and ask how to move on emotionally. Well, remember that letting go is not about pretending the past did not happen. It is about giving yourself room to feel and grow. 

• Self-Reflection and Acceptance

Give yourself time to heal - to self reflect. Emotional pain often leads us to look deep within ourselves and to question “why” things happened the way they did. Journaling the answers and the feelings associated with those answers can help you gain a deeper understanding or perspective of the situation, the people involved, and most importantly, of yourself. Regular journaling can eventually lead you to accepting and letting go of the past so that you can fully experience the present moment and step into the future with more ease and grace.

• Self-Love and Seek Support

Exercise self-love and make yourself a priority. Change habits that you know are not serving you well into more positive ones that lift you in body and mind. Start with simple acts like making your bed every morning, spending time in nature, listening to calming music, and eating a healthy diet. These small habits are reminders you that you matter. Sharing your feelings with others such as a friend or support group can also be uplifting and healing.

• Mindfulness

Finally, be aware of your thoughts. Your thoughts trigger your emotions, so awareness of your thoughts is imperative, especially those that take you back to the cause of your emotional pain. Once you are aware of those thoughts, take control of them: take a deep breath, pause those thoughts and change your focus to the present moment.

The Bottom Line

Emotional pain is part of being human and healing from emotional pain is a process that requires you to be patient and gentle with yourself. It involves clearing out energies that don’t serve you well, making room for new peace. Journaling, mindfulness and self-care practices can help with the process. However, if you are tired of carrying the pain that won't go away, you don’t have to do it alone. Engaging Reiki healing and sound therapy can help you move through the process with ease and grace.
