I remember that time early on in my hypnosis career. This was before I had discovered EFT. I worked next door to a very good Chinese doctor and excellent acupuncturist. I wanted to take in the more challenging stop-smoking cases and had heard that the combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy were producing great results. So I spoke to my acupuncturist colleague and we agreed that I send him the more challenged clients for acupuncture in combination with my hypnotherapy. We had success after success. People I had previously not been able to help were succeeding with relative ease.

Symbols, Initiations, Attunements There are many ways that people are introduced to and relate with Usui Reiki energy. There are a multitude of different teaching methods and initiation attunement styles. It is in the spirit of Reiki for practitioners and teachers to honor all manners of teaching and attunement.
Moving forward through pain or illness can seem almost impossible. How do I get better? What is this pain really about and what can I do about it?rn rnFeeling stuck happens to nearly everyone; if not for themselves, then in thinking of those closest to them. And those issues can easily get lodged in the body until we are really ready to take action and break free. Receiving energy work is a way to break free and mover forward.rn rnEnergy medicine in all its forms acknowledges
When learning energy healing, one soon learns that for most people, the right side of us is the male side and the left side is the female side. So what does it all mean and how does it relate to our emotional state? Of course, there are exceptions. There is no reason why someone should not be the other way around. However, for most people it goes something like the following.
What have been the pivotal moments in your life? What have been the real life changing events? The moments of illumination? The moments when you realized something important that would change the course of events to come? You know. Like when you played in a concert that was well attended and ...
How did I start using aromatherapy in my Reiki sessions? I actually came across Essential Oils before I started Reiki. I saw my friend using Essential Oils on her dog and it caught my attention. I started to do some research and eventually used Essential Oils on myself. As I started to study ...
As the leaves fall from the trees and the foliage turns color, the harvest season comes to its conclusion and our thoughts turn to deep inner yearnings as the seasons turn from fall into winter. September-December brings a concentrated number of holidays and holy days that are invested with ...
We are not taught to listen to our Soul, in fact, we are often taught to ignore it, to build our lives around an agenda that society, our parents, our peers —someone else— has told us matters. And we do live that way, starving our Soul, until it begins to make itself noticed, calling patiently to us again and again. We may decide not to make room for it in our life, to bury its message, until its call turns urgent and we become depressed, or we get sick or some terrible event shakes us out of our blindness.
A common question from EFT newcomers is about reactions to EFT like yawning, sighing, giggles, tears, burps, and laughter. Yawning can be a particularly confusing reaction, as we connect it to tiredness, boredom, and exhaustion. For some tapping newbies, it may be alarming to yawn, especially if the person has a tiring physical or emotional condition. It may feel like a warning sign that they are about to get worse rather than better. Fortunately, nothing can be further than the truth.
Who are we and how do we define ourselves? Are we simply the sum of all we do and accomplish? If asked to define ourselves most people will give a summary of their life’s work, accomplishments, and how they relate to others. For example, “I am a Doctor; I have a wife, and two children. My ...

This is a very common question in my inbox, and it goes something like this: "I would like to drink more water. I drink soda pop, tea, and coffee, and I'm ashamed to say I put sugar in my tea and coffee. It doesn't taste the same without it. But all diets and eating regimes say to drink more water instead. And I have a big problem with drinking water. I did very well in my weight loss last time, but I have put everything back on again, because I came off the wagon and lost all self control and willpower.
copyright © 2011 Don Beckett A LOT of people have been asking this question privately for at least a few years. The answer is not one that most of us are eager to acknowledge. We tend to brush it aside and go on with our own work. But suddenly I feel we need to acknowledge it, for the sake of people who are just beginning to learn about Reiki. We need to let them know what Reiki is and what it isn't — because many of them are being fooled, and led in harmful directions.
I recently was introduced to the Egyptian Healing Rods and was very impressed by the powerful amount of energy flowing from them. The rods were used in ancient Egyptian by only the Pharaohs and High priests. They were considered rods of healing, transformation and power. Many of Egyptian ...
Joshua Rosenthal's book "Integrative Nutrition" is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to explore and discover the truth about giant food corporations and pharmaceutical companies and how they affect the American diet; the strengths and weaknesses of the popular diets in the market; the reasons why we should listen to our body when we crave for certain foods, the Mind Body Spirit connection, healthy recipes and much, much more. Great pictures,layout etc.
The winter season gives every person the chance to look deeper into one's self and reconnect to everything around him. It is also the best time to celebrate that burning light inside. Look in your Reiki foundation and try to clear away all the old thoughts, beliefs and patterns that complete you. Then try to shed their energy.nnAllow it to create a way towards a new experience or expression of life. This practice is perfect for the Reiki New Year. During such time, the cleari

"Christian Reiki": good idea, or bad? I am a Christian and a Reiki practitioner (a pracitioner of what I call "Christian Reiki"), and I know very fully that what I am doing is "of God", and is really helping people to heal. I know this through observation and through my intuition. I do however know that there are those who don't believe this, and don't understand how Christian Reiki could be valid, and I respect the place they're at as well. I know various Bible verses are qu
Are you are facing a decision that you feel you can’t possibly make? Perhaps you are at a place in your life in which you know you cannot remain, and yet, you don’t have a clue where it is you should go. Maybe your life feels empty, meaningless, something is missing. Do you often feel depressed, do your moods change according to the company you are in and what is happening around you?
Living in the Shadow of the Past and the Power of Forgiveness Like your shadow on the sidewalk when the sun shines behind you,holding onto painful past memories darkens each forward step which could instead be filled with light. The above statement may seem obvious, and simple, but it is most profound and warrants further thought and attention.
Before we define what an attunement is not, maybe it is easier to define what an attunement is. A Reiki attunement is a special form of initiation into Reiki at a certain level. During the attunement, the Reiki Master traps the energy into their body and pass it onto the student. This usually involves a form of ceremony or initiation, for example by leading into a meditation or having soft music. The attunement is said to tune the student into the Reiki channel, pretty much like we would tune a radio to a particular frequency.
Many years ago, when I had my very first spiritual healing session, I was told that I had several spirit attachments and, during the session, they were released to the light. At the time, I had no idea what a spirit attachment was, but I knew that for the first time in my life I felt significantly better. For years I had suffered from a deep depression and had tried everything I could to relieve the pain, but nothing had worked. That was the beginning of healing my depression
When I first heard of Optimal EFT, I was amazed by what I had been missing all those years of doing Reiki. It is such a simple refinement, and although not always suitable, it is a real gem in most cases where a client wants a punchier Reiki or Spiritual Healing session. Since I have been trained in Seichem Reiki (what is sometimes called Reiki and Seichem or Tera-Mai Reiki), this is the basis upon which I have chosen to make the comparison.
At the end of life, or when a person is near death, we want to help in that special transition through a process of energy which we will refer to as Upekkha. This word translates roughly as Equanimity or "evenness of mind even under stress." It is the goal then to assist the patient near death ...
Dr. Mehmet Oz in his recent show discussed different healing modalities, one of which is Reiki. What is Reiki? Reiki is Spiritually Guided energy. Reiki can be defined as a miraculous and sacred energy of the universe. Reiki is the name of the energy that is used by Usui Sensei for the cosmic/universal energy. Rei: Spiritually Guided, God's Love or Light, miraculous, mysterious, sacred. Rei guides the ki, the second Japanese character in the word Reiki and stands for life energy.
There are many Reiki symbols that have already been revealed and each of them is thought to possess a unique vibration of energy.nnAt one point, they didn’t have any names and were simply numbered from one to five. But later on, each one of them stood for something and here they are. nnThe first is called Cho Ku Rei and is referred to as the Power Symbol. In simple terms, this means “put all the power of the universe here.” This allows the user to draw energ
If your client cries for a long time, shakes, or quivers during an EFT session release, this is how I deal with it. I hope this helps give you a guide that you can work with.
Being open hearted is living with a heart full to overflowing with loving kindness. It is a life of power from within, a life filled with purpose and service to humanity. It is a life that can be easily manifested by nurturing your heart with a meditation on loving kindness. Go to a quiet place ...
We all want to start the new day refreshed and rested. However, if we cannot sleep, we can be tired upon awakening and tired throughout the day. We may find it hard to focus, making mistakes in our work. And of course, lack of sleep makes us irritable and feeling down. If you know someone with insomnia, you will be familiar with how debilitating it is. Insomnia can be defined as the inability to sleep through the night (for shift workers, this is the inability to sleep through your sleep time). This could manifest as difficulty going to sleep, difficulty staying asleep, or both.
"Look for the mysterious in life. Wherever you look – in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river – wherever you look, look for the mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it. Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it. And suddenly a new door opens, a new perception is achieved." - Osho Yes, words of wisdom indeed.
These two suits are confusing to some people because different designers attach different meanings to the symbols. Here is a way to think about the difference. Who wields a sword? Who carries a staff? The sword is about the use of intellect and will power. Warriors charge into battle, hacking ...
Reiki healing can go very smoothly for the new practitioner. That is, until a strange or scary experience happens, such as feeling a sharp or sudden pain as a consequence of channeling the Reiki energy for the client. This is especially since the energy not only goes into the client but out of the client as well.
As a Reiki practitioner for about 10 years now, one of the most amazing things about the beautiful healing art Reiki is its versatility. Not only can an individual use Reiki’s healing energy for their own healing, it can be used to help heal others from any distance. It can be sent to a future situation as well as events in the past. Reiki can be used with other healing modalities such as crystal energy work, any other energy healing, EFT (“tapping”), and along with Western m
I am currently promoting EFT, otherwise known as Tapping, as the number one method of stopping smoking. And you may well as - why is EFT the best way to stop smoking? EFT is in my opinion the best way to stop smoking because it can remove all the underlying reasons why a smoker smokes. When all the reasons for smoking no longer exist, there is simply no driver for smoking, no desire for it whatsoever, and smoking simply becomes a thing of the past. We are not talking about the most basic applications of EFT here.

Chakra healing with visualization, EFT tapping, and hypnotic suggestion is used here in a light meditative state. Out of respect to those of you who do not EFT, this article starts with a non-EFT version. The EFT version is simply the same procedure with the addition of tapping. It can feel ...
One of the remarkable things about Reiki is that you can have a Reiki treatment from a distance. You might have a busy schedule or maybe you are unable to physically attend a Reiki treatment. In situations like this the Reiki practitioner can send you Reiki energy remotely. This is called a Distant Reiki Treatment. Interesting research study about the effects of Distant Healing Many studies have been conducted into the effectiveness of Distant healing. One such study was publ
Many people find the concept of spiritual guides, angels, Reiki guides, and enlightened beings to be beyond belief. This is often simply because they may not yet understand how to work with these beings of Divine love. Over my years of working with Reiki and following my soul’s longing to learn about the angelic realms and inner planes, I have developed a deep inner knowing that we have spiritual helpers, guides and assistance all around us, and within us. One of the first things that I learned is that we cannot receive non-emergency, angelic, or spiritual assistance unless we ask.
What does it mean to forgive? Whatâs the purpose? Why should we forgive? Since practicing Reiki for the last 11 years, I have seen many people forgive themselves and others. Reiki can assist in clearing the energies of anger and resentment, and help people to forgive in a gentle and loving way. Forgiveness is never about the other person. It is always about us. It is about letting go of the feelings that have been holding us back, weighing us down, and keeping us stuck. It
rnOne evening I was reading Kundalini Visions by Kala Maitri. In her book she talked of having your angels or healing team run Reiki while you sleep, thus providing "gentle energy clearing and integration". She then listed the different kinds of Reiki for them to run and then said to ask that it be "completed for your highest good." I was amazed when reading this and asked my Reiki guide if this was possible. The response was "Yes." I then asked if my guide and angels would p
Recently someone I know had gone to a weeklong intensive residential class in "Shamanism" directed at healing and counseling. (I put this in quotes because the description after the fact would not be considered core Shamanism). Before they went they explained to the director that they had some ...
Robert G. Smith is the founder of FasterEFT, a tapping method with a huge NLP-style component and influences from BSFF, amongst other powerful components. The EFT in FasterEFT is hugely inspired by EFT and stands for Emotionally Focused Transformations.
Insomnia can be exhausting. Sleep is something that most of us take for granted. And yet, when we cannot sleep, this can have consequences on everything in our lives, from our performance at work to our health, and even our weight. Insomniacs typically try everything first then find out about EFT, and then for some it works a charm. For others, it does not seem to work. Here is a list of the most common tapping mistakes.
…thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself…leviticus 19:18 If we look at this, as it is worded in the fourth of the Reiki Principles, it appears to be fairly straightforward. It is pretty obvious to us that one of the most important things in this world is to love and respect others, show compassion and tolerance, patience and understanding etc. We also know that we must be kind to EVERY living being and this would of course include animals, insects, plants etc., etc.
There are two Reiki paths, the path of healing and the path of personal transformation. The most useful thing regarding the second path we can develop with Reiki is our creativity. The process of increasing one's creativity primarily means making several important decisions, adhering to them consistently and having confidence into the final result.
Question: Mother Earth, the entire planet's weather system is out of kilter. The scope of this is frightening and at times it feels as though you are angry with us, and lashing out at us. My Children: You have it all wrong. I am not lashing out at you in spite of all you have done to deface ...
A long time ago, before my extensive experience in holistic health, when I was a saleswoman for courier delivery services with very little holistic knowledge, I had strong opinions about disease and stress. I was convinced that stress has very little impact, if any at all, on disease. To be honest, this is because I had been told that I had a psychosomatic illness that was a pure construct of my mind, and nothing could have been further from the truth, as doctors have correctly diagnosed later.
I am honored to write about the truly amazing children I have met who possess remarkable abilities to heal, see energy fields, and embrace a 6th sense. I vowed to one day write their story, and now the excitement of publishing a book about them -- and the many others who are being born now with spiritual abilities, is exhilarating! What makes this book unique is that it explains our changing world and shows how spiritually gifted children are an integral part of our evolutio There are easy to read guidelines for parents who are raising such remarkable kids.
Time and time again, when helping people with weight loss emotional blocks, this one comes up. As a matter of fact, it is a big block in the way of releasing any habit that does not serve us. And eating more than we should for our optimal health and happiness is the main habit involved in gaining or keeping unwanted weight. And this big block is the emotion of deprivation. Deprivation is a big one. Most people do not realize this until they tap for it, and suddenly, many deprivation issues come to the fore for healing.
"Leaves of Grass" is one of the original works of American metaphysical literature, equal to the great ecstatic spiritual poetry of Rumi. I often wonder why it has not been used as source material in the same way that Rumi's poetry has inspired the creation of music, or how the Dances of ...
