Reiki Isn’t Just for Women — Why Men Need Energy Balance Too
Because strength isn’t only about endurance — it’s about balance.
Working in construction for over 15 years, I’ve seen how much pressure men carry — long hours, tight deadlines, physical exhaustion, financial pressure, living away from home and that constant push to “just get on with it.”
But stress doesn’t stay in the mind — it builds in the body.
And when left unchecked, it can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and even serious safety risks.
The Hidden Cost of Stress
Studies now show what many of us have quietly known for years:
chronic stress and poor mental health increase the risk of accidents at work.
Around 76% of UK construction workers say that mental ill health raises their likelihood of being injured on site.
Research links 700,000 construction injuries in the UK to stress and burnout-related causes.
High stress impairs focus, slows reaction time, and clouds judgement — all of which can make even experienced workers vulnerable to mistakes.

So while stress is invisible, its impact is not. It shows up in missteps, muscle tension, sleeplessness, and that heavy mental fog that creeps in after too many long weeks.
How Reiki Can Help
Reiki gives your nervous system the chance to reset.
There’s no talking or analysing — just calm, restorative energy that allows the body to release tension and return to balance.
Many men describe their first session as a surprise — a deep sense of peace they didn’t realise they needed.
It’s often the first time they’ve truly stopped, breathed, and let go in months.
When your energy is balanced, your focus sharpens.
You move more easily, think more clearly, and feel more in control — both on and off the job.
Because Real Strength Includes Rest
Taking time to manage stress isn’t weakness.
It’s self-respect — and it keeps you safer, calmer, and more centred in every part of life.
🕯️ In-person Reiki sessions are available on Saturdays at Beauty Within Sidmouth, and Distance Reiki sessions are available midweek from anywhere.
Your mind, body, and safety — are worth it.
