REIKI/ SELF-HEALING
Reiki energy heals all living beings, including plants and animals. It can also heal personal relationships and bring about abundance. Reiki is most often used for physical healing, but it can be used to manifest "the highest good" in any situation. Reiki is especially good at healing cancers, tumors, depression, anxiety, pain syndromes, and other diseases that modern medicine struggles to calm. Reiki is also an unparalleled way to accelerate your path to spiritual growth and physical and emotional self-healing.
How Does Reiki Work?
Human beings are multi-dimensional. Constant stress causes emotional & physical dysfunction, emotional fatigue leads to physical illness, a physical injury or disease can lead to depression. All these dimensions are interconnected, and the energetic dimension of the body is the foundation. Reiki works by healing energetic blocks and imbalances at this very important energetic level. By healing the root of disease at this fundamental level, the emotional, mental, and physical integrity of the system are restored. In other words: the physical structure is built upon the energetic pattern. The physical results of energetic treatments include restoration of function, shrinking of tumors, and balancing of hormones. If you repair the physical structure but do not address the underlying energetic dysfunction, the physical disease recurs - whether it manifests as depression, anxiety, heart conditions, cancer, or obesity. The physical disease is merely the body's way of expressing the true problem, which lies on the fundamental, unseen, level.
Today, Reiki is incorporated into several different therapies. Many nurses are Reiki practitioners and have been granted permission by their hospitals to practice Reiki with patients at the hospital. While science cannot explain exactly how Reiki works, it is clear that Reiki energy is beneficial and not harmful in any way - it promotes true and powerful multi-dimensional healing.
Reiki is an excellent energy healing modality for anyone in health crisis or diagnosed with an fatiguing, or energy-consuming disease (i.e., most chronic or life-threatening conditions). It is a powerful complement to western and natural medicine. It is also the perfect modality to accompany acupuncture. Individually, both acupuncture and Reiki do a wonderful job of balancing the body's energy as it flows within the body. Acupuncture also does an unparalleled job of removing energetic blockages. However, acupuncture's limitation is that it cannot bring new energy into the system - it can only work with the energy already there. Reiki actually brings new energy, the life-supporting, organizing energy, into the body. It is the only form of energy medicine that can do this in a powerful, consistent way. Together, they are two sides of a coin: acupuncture removes blockages and pathogenic Qi, while Reiki brings in pure, healing, strengthening Qi. The healing power of combining acupuncture (or conventional medicine) with Reiki is wonderful. The benefits of bringing vitalizing energy into an energy-deficient system are innumerable.

Reiki what is it, does it work?
What is Reiki?
How does it work?
Reiki comes to us by the Grace of God and it is this same Grace that heals us and fosters our personal growth. Yet development does not take place automatically. Reiki respects our free will and does not force development on us, but if we seek it and intend it, and use Reiki for this purpose, then certainly, we will be guided into a greater healing experience. Try this experiment. Begin doing Reiki on yourself using the master symbol with your hands in any position that is comfortable. (If you are not a Reiki master but have level I or II, try it anyway without the master symbol.) Then meditate on this affirmation. "I surrender completely to the Reiki energy and the source from which it comes." Repeat this affirmation over and over, then as the Reiki energy continues to flow, with your inner eye, look for the source of Reiki, either within yourself or above.
By doing this, you will have many important experiences. These are likely to include becoming more aware of how Reiki is working within you and feeling it's amazing qualities. New possibilities for personal growth will be presented and you will be invited to participate in life in a more meaningful way. As your awareness moves closer and closer to the source, you will become aware of amazing insights and have ever increasing experiences of joy, security and peace. This is a wonderful exercise and well worth the time. I suggest you do this everyday and as you do so, these experiences will become stronger. Then, if you choose to accept the healing changes that are presented, deep healing will begin taking place and you will also begin receiving guidance about how to improve your life. While this meditation is simple, it is also very powerful and can lead you into a very happy and healthy state of mind, creating lasting changes that will form the foundation of a more worthwhile life.
Reiki can guide you in ways to make it's healing power more beneficial and to heal more deeply. And at the same time, it is possible that Reiki will guide you to other healing techniques that are exactly right for you to use in addition to Reiki. You may also receive guidance about changes you need to make that require you to take action. Your ability to make decisions can improve, making it very easy to decide exactly what you need, who to associate with, where to work, etc. and this could result in an entirely new direction for your life!
When you are involved in the healing process, a good way to determine your progress is to use your outer world as an indication of your inner development. This works because we manifest our entire experience through our thoughts and intentions - both conscious and unconscious. When we experience something in our lives, it is because some part of our being has created it. When we accept this idea, and take complete responsibility for what takes place in our lives we enter a very powerful place. We can then change the things that are not healthy and improve every aspect of our lives.
If your outer world contains positive experiences, and you are enjoying your life, this means that your inner world is in a similar state. The reverse is also true, so when we experience painful things or are disappointed or experience things that foster fear, worry or doubt, this is also because some part of our inner being is out of balance and needs healing. If something unpleasant or unwanted takes place in your life, rather than blaming other people or circumstances outside yourself, direct your attention inward and look for the part of yourself that has created this unpleasant event. Then use your Reiki healing skills to nurture and heal this part. When you do this, the unpleasant experiences will stop and be replaced by healthy positive experiences.

Reiki and Menopause
MENOPAUSE and Reiki
Any woman over forty years old knows that the menopause is coming
sometime in the near future.
There has been a lot of publicity about HRT and how, through taking this hormonal replacement, all your worries are over. The facts, however, are not as clear cut and you might well want to consider your options.
This article is offering some alternatives to help you through this period of time because if you go the more natural route once your menopause is over, it's over. It's important to know that those who choose HRT, when they finish their treatment, are still facing symptoms of the menopause! In other words, hormone replacement therapy postpones the symptoms.
Tips on Entering Smoothly into Menopause
Exercise regularly. It keeps the metabolism going and is often helpful with depression, anxiety, stress and weight gain. Weight bearing exercise will help to maintain a healthy bone calcium content and help to prevent osteoporosis.
Eat a healthy diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and essential fatty acids. Cold water fish are great sources of essential fatty acids: salmon, halibut, mackerel, sardines, tuna, and herring. Essential fatty acids help to support the nervous system which may be important for memory and brain function. They are also anti-inflammatory and are very important for skin health. Include soy in your diet. It often helps with hot flashes and estrogen regulation in your body.
Nuts and seeds can also be added to the diet for a source of fiber, protein, and essential fatty acids. For example, flax seeds are an important source of healthy anti-inflammatory fats and can help regulate estrogen levels.
Avoid unnecessary sources of sugar, alcohol, and caffeine. Avoid smoking as it has been linked to more severe hot flashes and night sweats.
Remember that balance in the body is what helps to create health. Make sure to nurture your mind to keep it quick, your body to maintain physical health, and your spirit and emotional life to keep you positive and happy.
hormone replacement therapy. Is it for you?
Hormone Replacement Therapy replaces the female hormone oestrogen in normal doses. This involves daily oral oestrogen tablets or weekly oestrogen patches applied to the skin, with the addition of the hormone progesterone for some women.
long-term use of HRT
We are now learning that HRT is not always suitable for long-term use, as it increases risks of breast cancer, stroke and heart disease (Women's Health Initiative - WHI study). New clinical guidance recommend that GPs offer HRT in only the worst cases and for a period of only five years. Even in the early stages of use, 4 out of 5 women find that HRT doesn't agree with them.
A recent survey of 2,000 women revealed that 6 out of 10 women had tried HRT, and 33% had chosen to come off it after less than a year.
a personal choice
The decision whether to take replacement hormones remains a very personal one. A woman should discuss this with her doctor before reaching any conclusions. Although not for everyone, hormones may provide relief of some of the annoying symptoms of menopause, but women should be aware that potential risks exist.
The main factor in the way menopause affects the individual is an imbalance in hormone levels. These hormone imbalances account for many of the symptoms of menopause including, cramps, migraines, hot flashes, and emotional instability.
As Reiki is known to bring balance to the various systems within the body, it has the ability to bring relief to those suffering from the effects of Menopause. Over time, Reiki has been known to normalize menstrual cycles, reduce migraines and cramping, and lessen the frequency of hot flashes. Reiki has the potential to do for you naturally, what your doctor hopes to do with prescription drugs. It may be worth looking into. Your health and quality of life should be the central focus of any therapy, and Reiki may be the key to unlocking your ability to heal yourself naturally. If you are experiencing the symptoms of Menopause, be sure to research the many alternative therapies available to you. Your health hangs in the balance.

Reiki & Massage
Reiki & "Massage"
Reiki healing is the usage of spiritual energy to heal a person's aura or situation. The word "Reiki" actually translates to "Universal Life Force Energy." Massage is the process of rubbing or kneading different parts of the body for therapeutic reasons or purposes.
"Reiki and massage are two separate things!
Many times massage therapists who are trained in Reiki will combine the two practices for optimal results in therapy. Licensed therapists often take Reiki classes in order to learn how to use the energy to promote spiritual well-being as well as physical well-being in their treatments.
The usual treatment of Reiki massage begins at the head and works its way through the seven different chakras.
"The hand placements coincide with the seven major chakras or energy centers of the physical body.
Reiki massage has been used to help patients manage pain and increase their quality of living. Reiki massage is different from normal massage because the practitioner does not knead or manipulate the tissues or muscles of the patient. Instead, the hands of the practitioner remain still, and the energy of healing is sent through the channels of the practitioner into the patient.
If you are nervous about your first massage treatment combining Reiki and traditional massage, there is no need. The practitioner will not do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. You will remain completely clothed, as it is not necessary for there to be skin-to-skin contact. Reiki massage can even be used to send energy to broken bones or injuries that are covered by casts and bandages.
Reiki is used to treat conditions such as TMJ (more commonly known as lock-jaw), muscle pain, tension, stress, injury healing, pain management and over 60 other medical ailments. In the Western world, there are four different areas or chakras of the body used for treatment. They are the head, body, legs/feet and back, respectively.
Many practitioner are trained in this Japanese system of energy healing that was discovered by Mikao Usui. It has been used worldwide for thousands of years. Once a practitioner is trained as a Reiki Master-Teacher, they can administer healing treatments on themselves, other people, animals and even plants. Anyone who is open to the idea of spiritual energies can take classes to become a Master-Teacher in Reiki.
In these classes, students learn hand placements and meditations for their patients. Students learn how to use the seven chakras on the body to treat different ailments and illnesses in the body. These treatments are administered in person and sometimes over distances. Healing energies can be sent around the world at any time by a certified Reiki Master.
Reiki treatments are said to be one hundred percent safe; they do not incur any side effects or injuries. There are sensations that are felt, but they are different for different people. Some people experience a sensation of warmth or tingling. Others experience a spirit of relaxation and balance. Depending on the patient, Reiki treatments have been known to show results immediately or over a period of extended time. Make sure that you are going to a certified Reiki Master-Teacher to receive your treatments.

Reiki
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.
Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
