WHAT IS REIKI? The treatment Reiki originated from Japan, and it is used for stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki is also valuable for promoting health. This treatment was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, who traveled, studied and researched ancient Buddhist teachings and spiritual leaders. From these experiences and what he learned he was then able to develop the Reiki Method. Since then, reiki has spread all across the world. The technique is conducted by moving the hands o

Reiki is another form of alternative medicine. Although it can cure certain illnesses, one that has never been thoroughly studied in humans is anemia. nnAnemia is a common blood disorder and this happens when the person’s red blood cells are below normal. This often leads to other health problems like fatigue and stress that affects the body’s other organs. nnUntil such time that there is scientific proof that it can help patients who are suffering from anemia, Re

Reiki therapy involves a lot of elements in just about every alternative healing practice. This is because it uses spiritual healing, meditation, aromatherapy, naturopathy and homeopathy among others to make the person or another feel better. nnBut what makes this Japanese healing art so unique and popular is that it involves the transfer of energy in order to restore balance in the force. nnReiki therapy has several basic effects. These include deep relaxation, detoxificatio

The Leader's position is surprisingly specific. It is often extremely demanding, but always inspirational. Doing it, one feels a great creative freedom and the possibility of a continuous personal development. In my previous years of managing and leadership experience, I tried as much as I could to continuously develop myself in achieving good results. What I have learned is that my results were always connected with performance of my team and that I must invest a great effort in improving the effectiveness of the people who work for me.r

Just for Today...I Will Not Worry "Worrying about something that may never happen is like paying interest on money you may never borrow. " The above quote is very apt for it brings home the absurdity of worrying! But we are human, and worrying is something we are very adept at, and do often. So how do we train ourselves not to worry? By training! By practicing...and by understanding where worry comes from and why it is just simply an energy draining, non-productive, past- time.

Karuna Reiki can bring soul recognition that complete peace is already within us all. The air was crisp and clear and the sounds of a nearby mountain stream were soothing my spirit. I had slipped away for a few moments of quiet introspection at the Karuna Reiki Retreat I was co-facilitating in Colorado this summer.

Most of us have been heart-broken at one time or another. The pain is immense, almost unbearable. Maybe you listen to sad love songs, maybe you cry or drown your sorrows, or perhaps you just go about the day in a complete daze, hardly able to function or get motivated to do anything. You want to be with that someone, you want to call them, hear that loving voice again, feel the warmth of their embrace, be with them; and then you remember that you can no longer do that. Where there was love and happiness is now a painful void. What do you do?

Many people often misunderstand the Reiki or healing with energy. In this article we will be looking into 5 common myths about Reiki and how you can align yourself with the highest degree of healing.nn1) Reiki Healing is a Cult or a ReligionnnThis is completely wrong.

The foundation of Reiki lies in its principles that have been laid out for

The meditations are worth checking out.

Someone once challenged me with “How do you climb anmountain?” to which I replied, daunted “I don't know”... “Step by step” he said. Of course, it is nice to have a dream or a goal. And it is neven nicer to have a step of it within easy reach. So, take your goal that you wish to be motivated ...

Parenting is the most beautiful, awe-inspiring, heart-opening, frustrating, difficult, infuriating endeavor I have ever faced. When Sebastian, my eldest son, was still a tiny infant who had been fussing, crying, and generally expressing dissatisfaction with everything around him for what felt ...

This Reiki Principle And Becoming A Full Time Practitioner "I earn my living honestly" and "Devote yourself to your work" are two interpretations of the Reiki Principles gifted to us by Mikao Usui. I took them literally and lived as an energy practitioner since. So, how do you do it? One of the challenges that face many an alte ative or complementary therapist and practitioner is that most work available out there is self-employed. There are of course opportunities for an employed job. But they are very rare.

Our heroic life is demanding and inspiring. The possibilities of learning and gathering experiences are limited only by our imagination and courage. We wish to have something to guide us in direction of confidence, freedom and exaltation, and we wish to hope that it would make us better and more loved.

EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a great holistic healing method that has worked wonders before my eyes. In my opinion, the name does not do the method justice, as it can help with so many physical conditions. Having used this method for many years, I am still amazed when I see yet another unexpected result. This is especially so when the logical part of me has already deemed it impossible.

We all know someone who wants to move forward but something stops them. Sometimes, we are that someone ourselves! Can we really shape our own lives? Imagine for example being able to write your future. Can we in some way paint the picture of a real future happiness? Is it possible? Picture ...

Whenever I am in the audience of someone who channels an ascended master, I am always humbled at the idea that we are loved so much on the other side of the veil by those of the Light who sincerely want us to hear important messages for our wellbeing. In that vein, I sought to raise my own vibration in order to be a channel for such vital communication.

We have an opportunity during the energy enveloping us each new new moon, to put forth our intetentions of what exactly it is we want to manifest in our lives. Much is said about the the fact that, indeed, we are the creators of our lives and the Universe. We are urged spiritually to fully embrace our power and also to be careful what we wish for!

When I worked in a busy clinic the City of London, I was one of the most sought-after massage practitioners. And yet, for most of that time, I only had the basic ITEC qualification in Anatomy, Physiology, and Body Massage. And even though I later added Deep Tissue and Indian Head massage to my repertoire, I can honestly say that the actual strokes themselves that I gave was not so special as to give me so many happy clients. It was something else.

The success of a stop smoking treatment depends on the underlying factors that lead to a desire to smoke. The more factors there are, the longer it takes. By the same token, the less factors there are, the faster the road to success.

Reiki is an ancient method of healing that has been used for centuries. Since it’s reintroduction in the early 20th century, various methods have been produced and one of them although considered by some as radical is called Feiki Reiki.nnBut why is it a radical form of Reiki? This is because the technique not only recharges your energy but it also awakens your senses. This makes you realize that nothing lies outside ourselves when the power and everything else we need

How do you improve your self-confidence? In NLP, there us a very simple answer. NLP is short for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It works by seeing what it is that successful people do and say, and then mimicking that. In other words, if you say what a successfully confident person says, others will see you as confident. And when others see you as confident, people will treat you with respect as that confident person. And that will give you more self-confidence.

Does Reiki really work? Usually you just have to ask the person that has received a Reiki treatment if it works or not. Of course, "works" is a subjective term in some cases. If someone receiving a treatment has nothing wrong with them, they still will receive benefit from the treatment. Reiki helps the person get to a deeply relaxed state in a short period of time. In fact, a 15 minute treatment is equal to an hour's nap. A typical response from one at the end of Reiki treatment is "That was amazing!" The recipient usually feels very refreshed and revitalized, just after a short session.

This is a scam that was attempted on me. Of course, I did not fall for it. I contacted my web person, who told me it was a well-known scam, explained to me how it is done, and informed me how I can report it to the authorities, in order to help other therapists that may be targeted by this person or persons. This is the story. As you can see, it started very convincingly...

As a holistic lifestyle coach, many of my clients come to me because they want to lose weight. In addressing issues of weight gain; I take into consideration the underlying reasons of weight gain, knowing that it is about more than just the food people are eating. What I have found is that stress can lead to overeating as well as emotional eating. Think about when you are upset; do you tend to overeat or eat unhealthy "comfort" foods to excess? rnPerhaps being in uncomfortabl

The literature is full of the causes of lower back pain. Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons why employees take a day off sick. It also can be very debilitating. Anybody who has spent a sleepless night tossing and turning with this pain can sympathise. Of course, we have to make sure that the causes of the pain are addressed. And once that has happened, still you may well have lower back pain. It may be hard to bend over, sitting may be painful, driving may be a challenge, and a sudden turn may bring shooting pains through your body.

One of the things that people new to the study of Tarot have the most difficulty understanding is that although the designers of the cards had meanings in mind when they drew the pictures, that each person who looks at them will get different messages from them. That is why in readings, you can ...

Mindfulness and the Power of Living in the Moment Before discussing Mindfulness itself, just some food for thought which will lead us into a full discussion of the topic… Previously I wrote about the power of forgiveness in helping us get out from under the Shadow of the Past. (Check out this link http://mindfulnessjou al.wordpress.com/2006/05/20/living-in-the-shadow-of-the-past-and-the-power-of-forgiveness/ for full article).

What is the perfect body image? What should we really aspire to look like? Do women have to be the smallest size, or will a medium do? Do men have to be muscular everywhere? Do we have to fit into skinny jeans? Do men have to wear tight trousers when in fashion? Do women have to wear make-up every day? What is the right look?More to the point, do you find yourself sometimes ashamed because you don't look quite like those in magazines and on TV? Do you hide behind make-up (for women) or big muscles (for men)? If not, would that make you feel lesser than others? If so, read on.

Dear SelfGrowth Friends, Each new moon, I receive a vision and channel an accompanying message from the spiritual OverLight of the portal. The energetics of the image are explained, as well as the spiritual work that can be accomplished by going deep within the portal during meditation - or willfully visualizing the image. Although I have not painted in over forty years, I am guided and humbled to bring this information to others.

Weight-loss, in my experience, is best done by losing the reasons why we overeat, under-exercise, sleep very little, or are mega-stressed. All of these reasons have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Emotional Freedom Techniques, in most of its forms, involves saying what we desire that does not serve us, whilst stimulating special acupressure points to release these feelings at their energy source. Without the energy fuelling the feeling, the vast majority of tappers release the negative feelings leading to their reasons why they got overweight.

Reiki comes through the heart, both the heart of the healer and the heart of the one seeking healing. A heart full of love is a heart full of courage and compassion. In order to be of service as a Reiki healer, a person must be willing to open their heart with compassion to be a conduit of ...

Someone with low self-esteem can be limited by beliefs that they do not even know are in their way. These beliefs may have been your "normal" for so many years, that they seem to be the absolute truth. However, there is no absolute truth. There is your truth, my truth, his truth, her truth; everybody's truth is different. However, there are some beliefs that are held in place by energy blocks created in the past, in childhood, or even beyond. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs and see if they are real or if they resonate as absolute truth? If so, read on.

What is especially challenging being an EFT Practitioner is that EFT is not mainstream, and therefore not widely known or searched as yet. For example, the mainstream online business directories does not have a section for EFT Practitioner. So you need to know and sell to your market even more cleverly than, say, a Massage Therapist. What is your EFT Practitioner personality? Is it calm? Is it feisty? Is it excited? Is it frank? Is it diplomatic? Is it caring? Is it no-nonsense?

Does any of this sound familar to you? I never really seem to lose the desire for ice cream; I still cannot resist chocolate; I love eating treats and goodies. Do you find yourself tapping on these things, but still want to (and often do) eat them anyway? Should you initially at least, force yourself not to eat those lovely treats and goodies? In my experience, I would say never force yourself. Try tapping on all the points, in preparation for the next module, one sentence a point, no numbers (SUDS), no Setup or Reminder:r

If you are an existing or budding Reiki healer, this is one in a series of articles to help you along the way. First of all, let me congratulate you for walking this path. Reiki is a beautiful energy and way of life, and it is wonderful to help people heal, grow, and develop. Well done for having come this far, and for caring!

EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves a mixture of stimulation of certain acupressure points whilst saying releasing wording. I am happy with the "Emotional" in the name if we define an emotion as any mental or physical manifestation caused by an energy disruption which, in turn, was initially caused by a psychological or physical trauma of any kind.

Sometimes Reiki Healers go to a healing share group and find there are silly rules to stick to. In the bad old days in the UK, there used to be a rule at many a Reiki share that only healers from a specific variation of Reiki were allowed to join. I ear that in Cape Town, some Masters giving share groups are even more exclusive. For example, anything to do with aura reading is forbidden, because that is supposed to be part of a kind of Reiki that has a non-disclosure agreement.

Most of us know someone who accuses us of wrong-doing whenever we ask that they do what they should have done. For example, you may have a colleague who should have finished some work by a certain deadline, and your part of the work depends on their finished work. And when you ask for their work, they accuse you of being domineering, complain about you to HR, or just say that you are not their boss, or something like that.

You may have seen some EFT videos or tapping scripts that tell you to say "I am fed up with this pain" for one round, followed by "I want to get rid of this pain" for the next round, then "I want to be pain-free" for the third round. Or you may have been advised to do one negative round followed by one positive one, all the way through. Hence why you are reading this article on what to say for Pain in classical EFT. Because sometimes it works for you, and sometimes it does not.

INTERVIEW WITH A REIKI MASTER/TEACHERnnMy growing interest in Reiki has led me to take the chance to sit down with a Reiki master and teacher who we will call Bianca. I wanted to know more about the art of Reiki and what it takes to become not only a master but also a teacher of such a beautiful and extremely beneficial healing technique. Bianca was more than happy to share her views and knowledge of her gift. I wanted to start at the beginning of her journey to get a real fe

In classical EFT, originally founded by Gary Craig and now championed by many famous EFT practitioners such as Nick Ortner and his great team, we tap on a problem until it gets to zero. The zero point is a neutral state of feeling or emotion, whether that emotion is a physical pain, a craving, or an emotional pain. This is measured on a scale of 10 - 0, where 10 is the worst we can feel and zero is neutral.

One of the most frequently asked questions in EFT is how to do surrogate EFT. Surrogate EFT is also called proxy EFT, proxy tapping, distant EFT or distant healing by EFT or Tapping. It all means the same thing. The person or animal you are tapping for can be with you or far away. It does not matter. You can tap for them using your own body. So you use your body as a surrogate for their body.

As a dedicated Reiki professional, one thing I find incredibly frustrating is an almost universal belief in a number of 'Reiki myths' amongst Reiki practitioners and Reiki teachers. So deep rooted are these beliefs that one would think they were fact, but unfortunately they are very far removed from any fact. In studying these 'myths' I find that there is truth in the origins, but this has been lost in the interpretation through a lack of understanding and awareness. The mai

"I earn my living honestly" and "Devote yourself to your work" are two interpretations of the Reiki Principles gifted to us by Mikao Usui. I took them literally and lived as an energy practitioner since. So, how do you do it? How can you use your complementary or alte ative health skills to live your authentic vocation dream?

If this is for you, let me say that my heart goes out to you, as I know from experience what it feels like when you are faced with this situation. There are decisions to be made, in order to keep your beloved fur-baby comfortable and as free from suffering as possible. It is heart-wrenching, no matter how you look at it. But maybe we are all transient beings in animal form, and maybe the most important element now is to have a calmer energy. This helps both you and your dog.

You could describe our journey into sleep every night as our soul's migration into another realm. It jou eys into a landscape of a parallel level of time space and brings us back images or vignettes of that journey. We can see our dream states as a time when other communications come to us, ...

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony- Mahatma Gandhi I've always been interested in the concept of Mind Body Spirit interconnectedness. As a Holistic Care practitioner, I'm very passionate about Reiki, Hypnosis and Nutrition. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that utilizes deep relaxation to calm the mind, reduce stress, relax the body, and ease the spirit. Reiki can be combined with other healing modalities.

Ten reasons to take a Reiki course... 1) Reiki courses teach you how to self-heal, so that on a daily basis you can balance your body, mind and spirit/soul and heal any physical problems/conditions or emotional traumas that need addressing. A Reiki course will empower you to take control of your own health and well-being.
