Life Force, Reiki Healing for All Peoples

Author: Margaret Ann Jones

Reiki, denoting 'Divine Life Force' is a secure and preferable manner of coping with a variety of complications. I say preferable because unlike the alleged conventional treatments founded on pills and medical interventions, the Reiki healing comes with no adverse effects.

With Reiki there are no contradications whatsoever.

The intense relaxation you feel with this type of unconventional remedy is like a light moving across your body. Clearing away every sign of ill health that has been troubling you.

You will see the affects for yourself: Reiki can deal with the troubles in life that both the body and the mind encounter, physically, mentally, and emotionally. When Reiki treatment is applied you can see your stress and anxiety melt away. And when you apply it at home after a busy and tiring day, the pressure of your daily life eases, and you truly relax.

Reiki is able to lighten up both your body and spirit by means of constructive and positive thinking. Reiki therapy is undemanding: just by positioning your hands on or near yourself or a patient, the life force runs from (the one who is channelling Reiki) to the recipient. Simple!

Reiki could be said to have its origins in one of the many Asian religions. Reiki is not a religion.

The most common conception is that Reiki developed as a changed structure of Buddhism. Buddhism stands as one of the oldest beliefs in the world. Some correspondence exists between Buddhism and the Reiki unconventional remedy; The most decisive similarity with Reiki and Buddhism is the profound healing principle of both.

Nonetheless, the creators of Reiki were not Buddhist. They had learned about Buddhism, but they had also studied other beliefs, such as Christianity. What is more, while Buddhism is viewed as a religion (albeit one lacking a god) Reiki is a way of coping with your physical, mental and spiritual problems.

Reiki is a particular type of delicate energy transfer. In the process, the healing has effect when the therapist puts his or her hands on or above the body. In this way, a relationship takes place between the patient and an immeasurable spring of life energy.

This energy transfer runs through the Reiki practitioner - he/she is the channel, the energy path. The Reiki Healing force is very strong, yet is incredibly soothing and kind to all. You can lead it towards oneself and towards others with complete understanding and faith that it is doing nothing but good.

The healing light/vibration is drawn from the 'Universal Life-Force' and is therefore multi-level. Reiki will awaken your mind, body and spirit to a more relaxed lifestyle.

Easy Meditation For Beginners

Meditation is an important tool used in most ancient cultures, spiritual practices and new age groups. The purpose of meditation is to relax the body and mind, it is ofter believed that while meditating one can gather information or guidance from beings in other realms. Here I will guide you through the process of preparing for meditation and a simply visualization to open your chakras.

When learning to meditate is is important to be completely at rest with nothing to disturb you, (turn off your phones and send the kids out for a walk with the dog!) To begin prepare the meditation space with colours and lighting that suit your mood, turn off big lamps and light some candle if you like, some soothing music might help you to relax or perhaps it will interfere with your concentration. You be the judge of what best fits your personality, don't get discouraged if the setting you imagine in your head is not what works in reality.

Breath is very important during meditation so find a comfy spot to sit (you will be there for a while) and start by taking big deep breaths. Fill your lungs right down to your abdomen, relax every muscle one at a time. Now take your right thumb and close your right nostril, take a deep breath (this opens the left lobe of your brain) relax, open your right nostril but keep you hand up, put your index finger over your left nostril and breath. Rotate between both nostrils for between 3-5 full breaths to insure both lobes of your brain have adequate oxygen. When you have finished rest your hands on your thighs.

Close your eyes, let all tensions flow out of you like water running off your body in the shower. Visualize in your minds eye you are holding in your left hand eight balloons on strings, each balloon is a different colour on the visual color spectrum plus one pink balloon. Next, visualize the red balloon moving across your field of vision from left to right. Let go of the string and focus on the balloon as it floats up and out of sight. One at a time let each balloon follow the same path, each one being the next colour in the spectrum (ROY G. BIV) visualize the orange balloon floating in the same pattern as red one took. Continue through each colour balloon until only the pink balloon is left, now it too moves across your field of vision and floats away as far as your consciousness will allow. Imagine each balloon goes progressively farther than the one before it. Next envision the balloons in your right hand and repeat the exercise.

By doing this meditation you are balancing the chemistry in your brain, which will open up your chakras, allowing your body to release pent up stress and negative energy. It is a simple meditation that can take as little or as long as you would like. It can be a quick panic reliever or a deep relaxation technique.
