I've always been interested in Mind Body Spirit connection. It was a time of my life that I needed healing myself- I gained weight, I was seeing an allergist and an acupuncturist. I realized that in order for me to share myself fully with the people I love and care about, I have to go to the center of my being and ask myself- WHO I AM ? and WHAT DO I WANT? It was three months before my graduation from The New York College of Health Professions (Holistic Nursing Program) when Reiki came to my life. What is Reiki?

As a Reiki Master I am blessed to see the transformation that the Light provides, both in clients who seek personal Reiki energy sessions and those who follow the calling of becoming Reiki initiates. Using Reiki for healing ( a claim not encouraged because of its threatening implications to the ...
Every one of us needs help navigating through life. As Donne stated so clearly, "No man is an island," and it certainly does help being in community with one another. After all, we know the universe works on the principle that what we send out always comes back to us. So it certainly makes sense that in helping others we are also helping ourselves. Regarding service to others, I am a Light Worker who willingly offers a special gift that I have been given. . . unique images and accompanying messages that are "gifted" to me for the sole purpose of assisting others on their path.
The Reiki Drumming technique was developed to greatly boost every healing session. The technique proves to be very effective for Reiki masters when the following steps are done accordingly:nn1. Focus your intentionsnnIn order to channel healing effectively, talk to your client. Ask them about the issues they want to address. These issues have to be focused on during the entire healing session. They have to be more than willing to release and eventually heal such issues. Recip
Can you pump up your self-esteem? How about being your own cheerleader? Does that sound scary or do-able? Whichever it is, I hope this can help. First of all, if it sounds like a scary or unsafe thing to be your own cheerleader, this is where and energy healing modality like EFT comes in. If EFT is not for you, then you may prefer Matrix Energetics, Reiki, Spiritual Healing, Theta Healing or any of a number of effective modalities to help you get there. Secondly, you can try the following exercise.
The Five Reiki Principals nnnFor new Reiki Students in the beginning class of Reiki, the first thing you do is; You begin to take charge of your own healing, by first learning to quiet your mind. You need to know your sacred space before you work on anyone else and the best way to do this is by: LETTING GO! nnDo the Gassho meditation that you learned in the level one class to bring yourself into a state of there is only this moment in this time or Just for this moment, just f
I often see bitter and angry comments (no doubt from people who were as starry-eyed as I once was), about anything that is not Gold Standard or Optimal EFT. This is why I ask for open minds, open hearts, and more positivity. It is all too easy for people to attack what is out there that brings people to EFT. Take The Tapping Solution, for example. Nick Ortner was criticized very heavily when he first started it.
If you are looking to think more confidently, what you want is a mind that is controlled by you yourself rather than those all too familiar negative and self-critical thoughts that creep in. Well, in EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, those negative and critical thoughts are said to be kept active by an energy disruption. So by releasing it and helping your energy flow, your thoughts turn more to self-confidence.
Have you watched Late Night with Conan O’Brien recently? Well I don’t usually watch the show because it comes on during the time I am working. But last night I was having trouble keeping focused on my work, so I though I would take a break and watch it. Now, if you are like me, you have music ...
As someone who has sat on the then Reiki Regulatory Working Group in the UK, now known as the Reiki Council, I am delighted to see how seriously Reiki is being taken in the UK now. Of course, there are many that do not realise the benefits. However, at the end of the day, it is about choice. A Reiki Healer can choose to be officially recognised or choose not to. It is always good to have choices.
What is Reiki like? Picture yourself lying on a comfortable massage table. You don't have to discuss or analyze anything. You don't have to do anything. You just have to be open to receive the energy. Just relax and know that whatever is bothering you can be aided by the simple loving, kind, ...
Those who are spiritually aware of the tremendous ascension energies upon us now realize that we as individuals are going through tremendous change on all levels. We are all "waking up," and beginning to remember our spritual contracts and our personal mission in this lifetime. We have all ...
Before I got involved with Reiki healing.I was the type of person who ran around on nervous energy.It was my belief that we were victims to situations and events and the concept of creating reality mindfully and consciously was an alien concept. My understandings have changed radically over the years. During my own Reiki 1 course the penny started to drop that my attitudes and thought patterns influence my wider reality. I began to understand that I was the one creating my re
Stewart is working 1-on-1 with me and has graciously asked that I share his progress with you as we go along. To be honest, as I write this, I am so grateful and excited, I wonder where to start! Wow, what a story he has and what great progress he is making! Stewart has two avenues for making money. One is supplements MLM and the other is Forex trading. I am pleased to say that after some sessions, he is now making more trades on the Forex front. Amongst other things, we worked on the flowing common blocks to success. · The last time he had financial success and lost it all;r
Reiki has to be practiced and Reiki has to be believed. Once this is achieved, everything becomes easy and simple. We then wonder how it is possible that we did not know this before. WORKING WITH SYMBOLS The initiation into the second level brings the knowledge about using three symbols, whose application possibilities are limited only by our own visualization abilities. At the same time, it is good to bear in mind that the essence of Reiki is always in releasing what one wants to achieve (confidence that what needs to happen, will happen).r
Want to feel more self-confident? Want a better image to project to others? Start by forgetting everything you see in the papers and in magazines about the supposedly perfect body image: So you walk into a dinner party or family gathering and instantly feel awful because you are not the thinnest, strongest, blondest, blackest, biggest-eyed, smallest-nosed, or whatever the press says you should be.
Have you started on your EFT weight-loss journey and find the weight not shifting like it would if you were dieting or doing boot-camps? Well, to lose weight, you need to eat less harmful foods, a moderate amount of healthful foods, and exercise more. When you first start your EFT journey of releasing old and unhelpful attachments, you are being prepared for that. You see, when people simply change their food habits without enjoying doing so, they end up feeling deprived, and more often than not, eventually put the weight back on.
I had the most amazing dream last night. I dreamed that I was locating spots in the ocean. I believe these were areas that the earth was sending signals that needed healing energy. I would find the areas then I would call pods of whales. The whales would show up after I got to a location in the ocean, so I guess I called them. Also, high frequency cosmic energy would appear at these spots too. It appeared to me as a beam of white light. I knew the light beam was coming from outside the earth plane. The energy was amazing.
Do you look towards others for validation? Do you find your self-worth depends on how worthwhile people think you are? Do you wish you had the confidence that others seem to have? If so, read on.
How does gratitude work? What's the point of it? Will this new craze of daily gratitude be something that changes my life? If it did, what would it change, how would I be different? Isn't gratitude some kind of religious thing? Like meditation, gratitude has been sidelined with religious beliefs to be practiced once a week, if you attend some religious facility. However, is it really? I recovered a note from a friend from 1998: Thoughts for this week: Abundance:
Have You ever wanted to get somewhere faster than humanly possible? Do You believe You have the capacity to warp time? Do You believe time is an illusion? Then read on… The first time I warped time, I had no idea that I was even doing so. I had no conscious thought about warping time. I was aware that time was an illusion though.
If you have been abused as a child in any way and this affects your confidence, first of all recognize that the love has to come from you. This is hard, if you have been trained by parents/guardians/people in authority that you were not lovable. Of course, this is to justify their abusive actions. But the net result is your feeling unlovable. So how can you love yourself if you believe you are unlovable? What a conundrum. However, it is not without solutions.
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint . It is a joint that connects your skull and jaw, allowing movement of the jaw. There is one such joint on each side, right and left.
Dieting is a great short-term solution, but for most people, it can become a long-term challenge. Some would go as far as saying that dieting makes you fat. Either that or you find yourself eating less and less, not to lose weight, but simply to maintain your weight. It is as if diets have an inbuilt failure switch that eventually turn themselves on for most dieters. It really does not seem fair, does it?! So what is going on there, and why do you sometimes hear that dieting makes you fat? To answer those questions, let us take a look at how the body works with respect to fat and energy.r
There was an article today in MSNBC's Health/Alte ative medicine entitled " Doctors eager to try ‘mystical mumbo jumbo’ Alte ative remedies gain acceptance despite lack of evidence wherei Dr. Richard Dutton, chief of anesthesiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, in Baltimore ...
EFT is an “Energy Psychology”, “Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT)” or “Tapping” method. It is used by many as a self-help method for any emotional or physical condition. EFT is also very popular with hypnotherapists and hypnotists, who are discovering just how easy this new method is to add to their repertoire. You may be new to EFT, or it may be a familiar friend already. Either way, you can learn EFT very easily. EFT works on the principle that what causes undesirable feelings and behavior is a disruption in the body's energy system.
Maybe you have studied EFT or a similar tapping or wellness modality. You may have been first attracted for your own well-being, and delighted with your results, then wanted to go out and help the world! You studied to the highest level you could, then waited for clients to come... And this is where most people give up and go back to having a "day job". But it does not have to be that way.
Reiki finds its way into our lives in many different ways. And it has found its way into the Big Brother house again just now. I am not sure how I feel about that. I can see that there is a lot of good in Reiki on reality TV shows, and I can also see that it is not exactly best represented on them. So is it a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing?
Most of us could do with a little more self-love. After all, if we love ourselves more, we can allow ourselves to achieve more, we have more self-esteem, we can attract people to us that are attracted to the energy of love, and we can feel love. And love is a great feeling.
Last night when my 5-year-old daughter had her first earache I was reminded how to most effectively give Reiki to someone in pain. She was crying, moaning and in the worst pai I’d ever seen her in. Of course that’s hard to watch and not be attached to the healing results of Reiki. I instantly gave her Reiki to her ear. The pain didn’t seem to be going away. The Reiki didn’t seem to be flowing strongly. So I got out my homeopathic remedies and gave a couple of rounds of those. Then I pulled out the Children’s Tylenol, for the first time ever for her.
There are now many variations on EFT as the techniques and their variations develop. Here is one simple way to do EFT, otherwise known as Tapping, amongst many other variations. It uses the dissociated state. This means that you are distanced from the traumatic event you are seeking to release from your energy system. When we have a safe distance between us and a trauma, it is easier to deal with.
I get this in my inbox, and it goes like this: "Since my teens, I have suffered bouts of acne. And I notice when my skin is clear and someone gives me a compliment on my skin, I come out in spots. The same thing happens with weight. If someone compliments my figure, I stop looking after it. There is an energy block somewhere, and I need to release it." Here is a simple Tapping suggestion to help. Imagine there are two of you. One is the Logical You;
You may well wonder how effective the Reiki can be with distractions around. There may be a television in the background, you may have a teenage child or a share a home with someone who plays loud music, you may have a young baby who wakes up crying for attention in the middle of your self-healing, an elderly parent who suddenly needs to be taken to the toilet, children to listen out or look out for, or any number of things.
We all berate ourselves from time to time. Some of us more than others. And constant negative self-talk cannot be helpful for our self-esteem and self-confidence. You can try noticing next time you hear a critical voice inside your head. Be aware of what it is saying to you, and let us diffuse it with EFT. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, has the power to release emotional blocks completely. It does this by a specific combination of stimulation of acupressure points along with releasing wording. So EFT is great at diffusing and dissolving negative self-talk!
In our modern day world we have forgotten how to sit in absolute stillness, breathe and meditate waiting for Spirit. From our conception we are surrounded by a cacophony of noise. We have music, television, car noise, crowds, all clamoring for our attention. We’ve grown so used to this hectic ...
There is a new 419-type activity coming from a far-Easte country. This is especially important to note if you are in an industry where confidentiality is needed. For example, if you are a therapist. Someone from a business online networking site I belong to has tried to do some very dodgy deal with me away from the site. He contacted me on Skype and asked that I keep his contact confidential. Naturally, as a healer, I thought he had a problem that he wanted to solve for which he wanted reassurance it will remain confidential. So I agreed.
EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques and otherwise known as Tapping, is an acquired taste. It took me a whole year to try it and I was hooked immediately. And different people have different initial feelings about it.
Ancient calendars consisted of 13 months, or moon cycles, in a year with a very even rhythm to them. A four week cycle when the moon goes from dark waxing to full to waning to dark again. Some people speculate that church changed the calendars to the Gregorian calendar in 1582 which gave us the ...

From my inbox, I receive the following on a regular basis. I hope it helps you or yours. It goes something like this: I have always felt unworthy because of all that was said to me while growing up. My mother always used to be unhappy and would take it out on me, telling me that I am the reason why everything went wrong in her life. Years later, I still can't get rid of those bad feelings of feeling unloved and unworthy. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9004247 This is a tapping suggestion to help you along.
We are our own worst enemies sometimes. We can be so cruel to ourselves. "How could I have posibly said That?", "I'm too fat", "How could I have done something so colossally stupid?", "I don't have anything interesting to add to the conversation", "Surely this person will not like me when they really get to know me", "I'll never be as good as this person at this job", and so on. Does any of that sound familiar?

Can you literally use your fingers to stimulate your upper body and get rid of stress? Well, that is what we do with EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. We stimulate the upper body with the fingers whilst connecting to whatever is stressing us, and usually, the stress then goes away and we wonder what all the fuss was about.
You may have suffered some low moments, maybe friends tell you you should love yourself more, or perhaps a therapist has suggested it. You may have read various self-help books about how to find this elusive self-love, all in vain. Whenever you look to improve your self-confidence, up pops self-love in yet another book, manual, therapy session, or workshop. "Enough already", you may think, "I have tried this self-love thing, and it's not working. Why can't I just be calm or happy without this loving myself stuff?"... And that is a really good point.
In my industry, there are many caring people. After all, it is a caring industry. We care for humans and animals. We post about abandoned, neglected, and abused animals on social media. We do our best to raise awareness. I do wonder, however, about the people who dump their animals at a shelter.

A phobia can be a source of terror, amusement, and embarrassment. Sometimes all three at once, even to the phobic themselves. Phobias range from the ridiculous to the downright dangerous. At the lighter end of the scale, there is the fear of bananas. And we all know someone who travels ...A phobia can be a source of terror, amusement, and embarrassment. Sometimes all three at once, even to the phobic themselves.
In classical EFT, tappers often use the Setup statement of "Even though I have this [problem], I deeply love myself". Some tappers cannot say "I deeply love myself" or even "I love myself". This is a sign that self-love can do with a boost.
