Reiki & Breathing

While our minds are busy pondering, analysing, criticising, searching, consulting, and concluding, we tend to forget which force eventually keeps us, alive and kicking with our feet on Earth. To keep our cellular body in good functioning order we need to look at how we engage our bio-energy system. At the physiological level, the human bio-energy system comprises of two primary sub-systems: the voluntary system controlling movements and sensations and the autonomic or involuntary system, controlling digestion, blood pressure and heart rate. The autonomic system comprises of two branches known as the sympathetic and the para-sympathetic. The sympathetic defends the body against attacks, it keeps feeding the system with blood, activates the thyroid and adrenal glands and provides energy for action by catabolic intervention. On the other hand the anabolic intervention of the para-sympathetic is in charge of reducing the activity of the brain and the muscles, and deals with healing, regeneration, triggers parathyroid hormones, activates digestions and elimination and has a the main quality of installing calmness, contentment and relaxations brining the body to rest, sleep, meditate, relax and feeling loved. Only one system can be active at a time and to keep the energy flow effective yet not stressing, active yet not over-active, involved and well functioning yet not over depleting, it is essential to recharge the body’s magnetic field and breath correctly!
Breathing is essential to life and to maintain a healthy bio-energy system. Through correct breathing it is possible to keep our bio-energy system away from damaging and even harmful effect of the constant and over-abundant electro-pollution. This type of pollution might be invisible to the eye yet it is translated into electro-information the sympathetic system will feed itself with giving the bio-energy system a command for even more reaction. Correct breathing instead connects with the para-sympathetic and operates as a gauge to signal it is time to relax, for real. Does it occur to you to stand in the middle of a busy sidewalk and look around at people and see how busy they are to over-activate their sympathetic system by playing with their phones, games, tablets, iPad and other electronic devices? It is possible to live with evolution of telecommunications and still keep a healthy bio-energy system, a good dose of healthy energy, strength and glow. In a recent article we explored a bit the connection between the healing power of Yoga and Reiki. Here we will explore the bit the world of breathing techniques and how with the use of Reiki techniques such as self-treatment meditation and symbols meditation it is possible to strengthen our inner bio-energy system or “prana” and an outer magnetic shield around us.
The word commonly used in Yoga and meditation to refer to “life force” is “Praṇayama”. Praṇayama is a Sanskrit word meaning “extension of the praṇa” where “prana” stands for breath” or “extension of the life force”. The word is composed of two Sanskrit words,"Prana" life force, or vital energy, breath, and “ayama”, to extend. The origins of this yogic discipline lies in ancient Bharat (India) and what is known as present day Hinduism. Pranayama is often understood as practicing a control of the breath so that we can reach relaxation, bring this force to specific areas of the body and extend to the body the life that the force brings with it.
From the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali to the most current practices of Yoga, all breathing exercising are meant to aid and facilitate the union of mind and body consciousness. There are various forms of breathing as well as various purposes for instance, calming the breath after effort, deepening the breath for sustained effort, cooling breath after effort and cleansing breath to clear the mind. All forms of breathing turn the sympathetic system off allowing for the mind not to intervene and for the flow of oxygen to reach deep remote areas of the bio-energy system. Conscious breathing is important and not only in Yoga where it is consciously used to facilitate the practice. Breathing opens the heart center and relaxes the lower abdomen.


Reiki Breathing for Self-Treatment:

  1. Sit in easy pose or lay-down, in both postures allow your consciousness to adjust the alignment of your spine, neck and hips;
  2. Close your eyes; bring your attention to your breath, listen, feel and allow it to guide you while making sure your inhale expand your chest, engage your abs and exhale brings your belly button closer to the spine and keep you abs engaged;
  3. Repeat two three times to make sure this comes natural;
  4. In your minds eye, imagine your own hands giving yourself a Reiki treatment, starting with the eyes position and continuing to the abdomen;
  5. Feel the hands on your face, head, neck, upper chest, chest, belly and lower belly;
  6. Focus on your breath and bring that breath into each position, accompanying the hands, allowing the breath to reach out into your bio-energy system as does Reiki;
  7. Upon completion of the Self-treatment, ensure you close up the session with one hands on lower belly and one hand on upper chest, repeating conscious breathing three times.
When you are done, cross your fingers together and rest your crossed hands on your chest, then put one foot on top of the other and remain so for another three conscious breath. This will allow for your own magnetic field to close up the aura around you.

Healing Addictions With Reiki

How can Reiki help with recovery from debilitating addictions such as overeating, smoking, alcohol, and drug abuse?  

Reiki should not be considered a “cure” for alcoholism or addiction, nor replace traditional treatment, but it can assist with recovery and make it immensely more tolerable. In the same way that Reiki is used as a complementary treatment for disease, such as cancer, heart, respiratory and other disorders, it is a welcome addition to regular treatment and provides vital support to recovery efforts.

Alcoholism and addiction, whether to chemicals, food, nicotine, sex or people sets in motion a continual daily assault on the individual that is physical, mental and spiritual. Chemical dependency of any kind places a great deal of stress on body, emotion and spirit. Sufferers rarely eat or sleep well and are often too busy trying to “keep it together” to bother making even minimal efforts toward health and wellness. Maintaining a normal lifestyle in today’s busy fast paced world, managing a home, a job, kids, is stressful enough for all of us. Substance abuse or addiction multiplies the stress of day to day living many times over. Addicts have spent years, often decades, doing damage to their physical and emotional selves. Add to that the shame and embarrassment that accompanies addiction and the result is out of control emotional pain, serious depression, and devastating loss of self esteem.

Physical: Withdrawal symptoms can be unsettling or downright uncomfortable. Headaches, insomnia, muscle aches and pain, tremors, nausea, general anxiety and depression – all of these can be managed and reduced with the use of the gentle, noninvasive healing of Reiki.

Mental: Addiction is a downward spiral. Over time, those suffering with addiction will have convinced themselves that they are mentally weak, have no will power and are somehow inferior to other “normal” people. Negative self talk is a daily habit and toxic dialogue will often run constantly in the mind.Negative thoughts play continually like a bad soundtrack and hinder the recovery progress. It is vital to replace this with a constructive healthy alternative. Positive Reiki energy provides a very real sense of moving forward and taking important steps to recovery. With practice, negative self talk can be immediately caught and replaced with pure healing energy.

Spiritual: Addiction of any kind isolates and takes sufferers to a very dark, lonely place. Getting clean and sober is like coming back to the light. Finding new interests like Reiki or learning about crystals sparks our creative side and opens us up to experiences we never knew existed. Reiki will help release negative emotions, encourage self forgiveness and allow positive energy to flow and light to come in. Connecting to universal energy brings comfort and serves as a reminder that you are not alone.

Reiki attunement can be especially helpful as it allows the recipient to practice self healing on a daily basis. The importance of this cannot be emphasized enough. Self healing will assist with treating the symptoms at the root cause. These are the issues that caused the abuse initially. It is fear, anxiety, hopelessness that drive an individual to pick up a substance to ease discomfort.  Well meaning physicians prescribe medication to treat the symptoms such as sleeplessness or anxiety and further compound the problem.  Finding an alternate method to self medicating is essential. Use the power symbol, Cho Ku Rei to intensify Reiki energy and clear blocked energy that has occurred in the body over time. Sei He Kei, the emotional healing symbol, can be a powerful ally in releasing past trauma and healing the dis-ease that accompanies it.Using crystals in combination with Reiki can enhance healing sessions. A stone carried in a pocket can be very comforting during stressful moment. Finding the ones that work best for you is fun and interesting.

Reiki healing can and will assist in your journey to restore health and balance. Above all, if you are recovering from an addiction remember that you are a child of the universe and that you have a right to be here. Forgive yourself and move forward. There are so many blessings that await.

Writing Meditation Using Reiki Symbols

Meditation is the induced state of mind and writing helps you to achieve that state, as a person can write only when he unifies with the soul. By writing about Reiki or drawing Reiki symbol practically on a paper or any writing material, minor chakras of hand get activated. It is very beneficial for the beginners as it helps in increasing the concentration power (the basic requirement of meditation). It is also helpful for busy office going people who cannot spare extra time for usual meditation; they can meditate during their working hours just by drawing Reiki symbols and writing about Reiki.

 

METHOD:


•Choose a very comfortable place and time it differs from person to person. Early morning or evening time is best suggested time. Your garden with chirping sound helps to bring the writer out residing inside you.
 

•Take your favorite notebook and pen or pencil or any writing material.
 

•Sit comfortably, preferred spine should be straight.
 

•Start with drawing big beautiful CHKR on the whole page. Now draw six more CHKR on the same page overlapping each other.( you can select the colored pens of chakra’s colors)
 

•Now draw seven CHKR of smaller size on the next page.
 

•Go on drawing CHKR till you reach the size of one or half centimeter.
 

•Draw SHK in the same manner till you reach the minimum size you can draw.
 

•Now repeat with HSZSN and with other Reiki symbols.
 

•While drawing the symbol chant the name of symbols.
 

•Start writing small sentences about Reiki.
 

•Change sentences into paragraphs.And paragraphs will automatically change into article.Your intuitive power will help you in writing.

Writing slows down our brain waves to the theta state and in this state we could express our highest potential, the new ideas originate in theta state of brain.Meditation also works on the principle of theta state of mind.It helps you in activating your minor chakras in fingers and in hands thus sending energy to all other chakras.It helps to rationalize our thought process.No unwanted thoughts can enter our mind it acts as a filter making us the master of our thoughts.Writing Meditation increase your concentration power and balance you throat chakra.It is said if the throat chakra is in balanced state it can make us a writer or artist.If you start writing or drawing Reiki symbols regularly your throat chakra will be balanced.

Distant Healing With Reiki

I find that when someone who doesn’t know about Reiki wants to know about distant Reiki, it becomes more difficult. Particularly if they want an explanation for how it works. Many people are somewhat able to understand the basic concepts of Reiki in general, but the thought that this could work for someone on the other side of the world can seem too much to take in.
My experience has been that those who are unfamiliar with energy in healing will ask if distant Reiki works through computers, via the internet or over the phone. They have a hard time understanding how a treatment can be sent without connecting it to something tangible for it to flow through that connects both parties.
The telephone, cable TV and internet all use energy frequencies we can’t see in order to function. The electricity in our homes does the same, as does a radio. All of these have to be tuned to the particular frequency they operate at in order to work. They all have ways to adjust the flow of energy built in so that we can turn them on, off or use them in a different way. And all of them were thought too unbelievable to be true when people first heard of them.
Distant Reiki works the same way. It is energy that must be “tuned” to the person it is being sent to. Once it is “tuned in” it will flow through the energy currents that exist naturally, just the same way that a phone signal or wifi signal does. Distance is no object for it, just as it is no object for the internet or phone communications. The energy that surrounds us carries all of these energies to the intended receiver. With Reiki, the practitioner is the conduit of the energy.
It can be a difficult concept to understand that our thoughts, intentions and emotions are energy. Yet most people can feel that their emotions create an energy sensation in the body. They may also understand that the nerve endings and spinal cord help to carry these energies throughout the body. If you go one step further, you can see the relationship between our thoughts and our emotions. It’s not much of a leap from there to see that our thoughts and emotions have an effect on our perceptions and the people around us. These things truly change our environment! It is all energy.
We have to be careful to start where the person is when we explain Reiki and distant Reiki to someone. All of this begins to feel like second nature to us. Telephones, internet, radio and TV all seem like ordinary things to us, too. But to someone who has never experienced them, they seem mysterious and unreal at first. Some may even be frightened by them, until they have experienced them. The same is true with Reiki and other energy medicine techniques. Be patient and clear. Share your experiences and offer to share distant Reiki with them, if they are open to it. As always, experiencing Reiki first hand seems to clear up any doubt.

6 Easy Steps To Violet Flame Bath

This is a method of sensitizing your hands and purging yourself clean of all negative emotions and energies. I have purged people, places and even objects of all negative and dense energies using this method.
Many of us know, we use the Violet flame in Reiki to transmute negative energies. But probably we do not know why!
When we consider the colors of the rainbow,they each have a healing frequency and a purification quality. These rays emit energies which we can pull and use in our daily practice. Violet is the ray of the highest healing and purification. Anything related to violet is pure or God like!
For instance Cho Ku Rei as a symbol is red in color. It is associated with action and the root chakra. That is why we use it as a Power symbol. Sei Hei Ki is blue in color and is associated with the throat chakra. And Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is associated with the crown chakra hence violet in color. All symbols after Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen are violet in color. The Dai Ko Myo is beyond the crown chakra and will also be violet in color.
So what is the Violet flame? And where is it? Think of a fire lit on a candle or the gas burner or even a sacred fire pit. Have you ever observed the flames? Have you seen that the ends of the flame have blue, violet and indigo tinge? In fact the violet color is at the base of the fire and is very prominent. This is the violet flame! This is the purest part of the fire. Whenever we burn anything over the fire we are actually purging away the negativity with the violet flame!
Reiki is a mix of a lot of unknown theories and facts. Hence it is multidimensional.

Here is the Violet Flame Bath method in 6 easy steps.Try and see how it works for you! 


1. State the intention “I wish to take a Violet flame bath to purify or detoxify myself.” Say this 3 times.

2. Draw all the symbols on your target or intention. DKM + CKR + SHK + HSZSN (DKM to be used for those who have the master symbol attunement, rest level two symbols are good enough).

3. Visualize a big bonfire or campfire in front of you. Step into it. If you wish you can visualize the color of the fire to be violet.

4. Stand in the fire for some time. Keep the Reiki flowing from your body. Affirm “this healing purifies my mind, body and soul.” Say this 3 times.

5. Step out of the bonfire or violet flame. You will notice there is and increased sensitivity of your hands. Meaning the energy flow will tingle your hands in a powerful way. You will also sense a lightness and peace in your entire being. This technique can be used to increase Reiki flow in your hands and the entire body.

6. Seal the healing with a big CKR. If you wish you can program the healing for 24 hours. Say “HSZSN – I wish to program this healing continuously for 24 hours” (x 3 times).

Spirit Guides And You

Many of us believe we have guides who are unseen, unheard, unspoken beings but we feel their presence. These guides back us up when we are down, comfort us when we are sad and can even cheer us for our victories! They are our spirit guides. These guides are assigned to us before our birth, selected by us at the soul plane and they are there to help and guide us as we walk our life path.

These guides are broadly divided into 3 types :

 

1. Universal guides

They may be ascended masters or archangels who communicate with us and guide us. These beings are universal guides since they probably are guiding many of us at the same time. They are of such high vibration that they can be available at different places at the same time.

 

2. Personal guides

These guides are of a higher vibration and we have known them in one or many of our earthly lives. They have ascended long ago and are now assigned to help members of their soul family.

 

3. Family guides

These are usually deceased relatives who silently communicate with you after passing away. They are walk in guides as they do not linger for long. But they share a strong affinity with you. It can be a deceased relative or parent who guides you after their death.

It is important to know that guides do not have names. We may choose any name for them which resonates with their form and nature.Names are a tangible earthly requirement and whatever sounds nice to us, we can name them that.


How do they communicate with us?

Spirit guides communicate through intuition or gut feelings. Sometimes they may scream a warning inside our head. That’s when we know we are on the wrong path.
They will gently guide you, but will jump in to help you only when you ask for their help. They are usually in touch with all your soul family members, ascended masters and archangels and hence can take your requests to them.
Guides communicate with us through signs and synchronicities. Recurring messages are a sign of your immediate action or attention. Sometimes, guides send people into our lives to give us a message or warning or just a word of comfort.

The best way to know your spirit guide’s name is to concentrate on the following sentence and keep repeating it in your mind for three minutes.
“I want to know the name of my spirit guide.” Keep staring at space and repeat this sentence for three minutes. You will hear some name or sound that may or may not make sense. Write it down, cause that will be their name.Ask them to reveal themselves to you and just bond with them.It’s fun to know your guide.Try it!

4 Common Myths About Reiki

There are a some common myths and misconceptions about Reiki among non-practitioners, but don’t have time or interest to go deeper. Or even sometimes (rarely though) among practitioners who are just getting into the Reiki training. Here are a few of them:

Myth 1 : Healers are using their own energy to heal the patient
This is not correct. A healer is but a channel through which the healing energy flows. The source of the energy is the God, the Universe, the Creator, or as some call  ”the Source” (capital S) – or whatever you choose to call it. Once attuned, healers become capable of channeling Reiki energy.

Myth 2 : Mikao Usui was a Medical Doctor
Dr. Mikao Usui was actually not a physician. He might have been a Dr. in literature, according to some sources, or he may not have had any doctorate title at all, according to other sources – and the Dr. title would come from the best translation Mrs.Takata could find for “Sensei”.To make for even more confusion, “Sensei” in Japanese is a term that applies to “medical doctors” in addition to the more widely-used sense (of e.g. teacher, or someone senior with experience and knowledge).

Myth 3 : Reiki only works if you believe in it
Some people seem to think that Reiki is some sort of placebo effect, which only works if you believe it works. This is also not correct. Reiki will work regardless of whether you believe it or not, as long as you don’t artificially block it, by resisting the flow or refusing treatment.Reiki is not placebo, it is real healing energy flowing through our bodies, as many practitioners have experienced.

Myth 4 : Watches, jewelry, and other metal objects are blocking the flow of Reiki
Some think that healers and patients should not wear metal objects such as watches, necklaces, and other jewelry, because it supposedly blocks the flow of energy.Again this is incorrect, Reiki has been experienced and proven to work and “pass through” not only metal objects placed closed to the body, such as jewelry, but also through walls, through mountains, across oceans, even across the entire planet – distance healing sessions are a very common practice in Reiki.

Personal Choice in Healing

Sometimes I hear a Reiki practitioner say that Reiki is the only healing method necessary. They almost seem personally offended at the thought of someone choosing to use another healing method over Reiki, or in combination with Reiki, particularly if it is another alternative method.
The truth is the healing method a person chooses has to feel right to them. If there is an inner resistance, it creates tension in them and static in their energy system. This will delay their healing progress as it goes counter to the process of easing the flow of energy and improving well being.
It is important that comfort and healing be our upmost priority when working with someone. We need to reflect this in our day to day encounters. The method or combination of methods that bring comfort and healing is none of our concern.
Reiki is only one of many energy healing techniques. Not everyone feels comfortable with Reiki. In fact, some are not comfortable with energy medicine or any type of natural healing at all. Some prefer a different type of energy healing than Reiki. Still others want to employ several healing modalities. A person chooses want feels comfortable to them.
Reiki is a marvelous healing tool. But it is not the only tool. Many people have amazing results from aromatherapy, EFT, the Emotion Code, pranic healing, acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy or allopathic medicine. We do a disservice if we push the idea that Reiki is the only way to healing or even that it is the best. It is best for the person who chooses it, but not for others.
Even among Reiki practitioners, there are some who combine other therapies with Reiki. Many of us offer the use of crystals, aromatherapy, massage, yoga or acupuncture, to name a few. If the client feels comfortable with this, it can only serve to improve their healing experience. It takes nothing away from the Reiki.
All healing is really energy healing. True healing works with and moves energy freely through the system. It all encourages and enhances well being. When working to try and guide a person toward wellness, the energy must move. Even if it is not acknowledged as energy healing or even understood as such, that is still what it is.
Additionally, all healing really takes place within the person being healed. It requires a shift that they must participate in for real change to occur. If this shift doesn’t happen, the illness may go away, but the underlying cause remains. It will resurface in as many different ways as it needs to in order to catalyze the true healing and growth the person needs. Because of this truth, a person needs to choose a healing method they feel relaxed and comfortable with, no matter what that method is.
Some people need to explore different methods or combinations of methods to find the path to healing that feels right to them. In the end, the greatest concern needs to be that a person gets healing and that they feel easeful with it. Our goal should be to assist them in finding their own way to their path. The healing of a person is a beautiful thing. When someone moves closer to healing, we all benefit.

Soul Integration Meditation

We are conscious of few acts in our life but many are there, which we are not directly related to us but are stored in our unconscious mind. Sometime with some of our deed the third party gets affected, his or her aura is connected to your soul unknowingly and licking your energy. Suppose you have expelled any one of your dependent because of his or her misbehavior, you are not aware of sufferings of his or her dependents because of the expulsion, thus they are attached to your aura unknowingly. Taking another example, an event in which your friend was hurt because of the third person, you were not directly affected but you were disturbed because of your friend thus leaving some part of your soul there unknowingly. Now it’s the time to collect all the fragments of your soul and live as an integrated soul by this meditation. In this meditation you just feel like giving, giving and giving. It takes you near to the Source because He is the only Giver on this beautiful earth, we are the receivers only but after this meditation you love to give unconditional love to everyone. The bonding with the materialistic world starts becoming weak and the bonding with the super natural power starts increasing. I would like to suggest you must have this meditation once in a month.

METHOD :-

1) Clean the aura of your room and your own aura.

2) Relax switch off your phones, door bells every thing of this type you need little more concentration(I suggest morning hours as during that time you are in most relaxed state and no one disturbs you during those hours, this is my way, you do as your intuition guides you).

3) If you are in a habit of having background music you can play it but very mild. (I do it without chants)

4) Sit in any comfortable position your spine should be straight. You should be extra comfortable as it is a little long process.

5) Close your eyes. Take three long breaths.

6) Start meditating about the very first year of your life when you came to this world.
  • Say thanks to your mother for holding you for nine months, for rearing and caring for you, touch her feet to get her blessing.
  •  Say thank you  to your father ( your intuition will guide you what to say )
  • Picturise the scene of your birth and say thank you to relatives, baby sitter and every one you feel at that time.
  • Say thank you to nurses and the doctors for immunizations.
  •  Feel as if you along with every one are very happy and celebrating.
  • Apply the symbols as per your intuition.
  •  Now say sorry to your mother for the pain she had to bear by giving you birth, say sorry for the suffering she had to under go because of you.
  • Say sorry to your father for all your mistakes and mischief.
  •  Say sorry to all the relatives, doctors, baby sitter and to every one you feel at that time.
  •  When you feel you are over with the first year, forgive yourself for everything.
  •  Smile, a broad smile should be there on your face.
  •  Seal everything with Cho Ku Rei.

7) Meditate the second year’s events by saying thank you, sorry, applying symbols, forgiving yourself sealing with CHKR and a smile.

8) Meditate the whole life till date, year wise by the same process. Once you start, your intuition will guide you whom to say thank you and whom to say sorry.

The results are remarkable you are the same but you start feeling a new being residing in you.Repeated meditation will help you to live earlier period of your life as you wanted it to live by changing the records stored in your unconscious mind.Live Happy and Let Others Live Happily.
