Reiki and Back To The Basics

Reiki, Energy Healing, Organic, Homeopathic, Herbs...oftentimes these words are thought of as a part of the New Age Movement when in fact they are not. Each one of these are just a return to the basics. Many of us have been and are still being programmed to believe we need to run to the doctor for every little thing. Insurance only makes the situation worse because we as Americans "want to get our monies worth", since we are paying for insurance we want to make sure we are using it!

No doubt the playing field has changed, the earth is far more polluted, the food we eat is full of pesticides and herbicides, the water we drink and even the air we breathe contains toxins. Our bodies are not equipped to process the chemicals we are constantly being bombarded with.

You don't need to have an advanced degree in nutrition or medicine to live a healthy life if you follow commonsense. Taking care of yourself and creating balance in your life is easier than you think. Take time for yourself, eat as close to nature as possible, make wise decisions with your hard earned money. Support local organic farmers, try to eat food that looks as much like it's original form as possible, buy a good quality water filter which helps us to stay away from bottled water and most importantly...learn how to read food labels in the grocery store. Join a local Reiki circle, you can learn to give and receive the powerful benefits of Energy Healing.

As you can see...going back to the basics is a huge step ahead in today's world!

The Power of Touch

People at times try to put me into a position to defend Reiki, either they don't approve of it because of religious reasons or they generally doubt any type of alternative or complimentary medicine. Let me be the first to say...I believe in Reiki, and the power of Energy however if I'm swimming in the ocean and I'm attacked by a shark, do not take me to a Reiki Master or an Acupuncturist...Take me to the ER of the nearest hospital and have a team of surgeons stitch me back together!  I would never nor should any ethical Alternative Practitioner ever talk a person out of seeking traditional medical care from a qualified Healthcare Provider. I always tell clients to be sure to communicate to their doctor or traditional healthcare provider that they are seeing me as well. 

With that being said, I would like to take the time to share the amazing research currently being done in the field of Energy Work. What was thought to be impossible because it was thought to be nonexistent a short time ago is the capability to measure the Human Biomagentic Field.  Using a SQUID magnetometer we are now able to measure the energy that is experienced during a Reiki session.We now know with scientific certainty that not only do the brain wave patterns of Reiki Practitioner and receiver become synchronized in the alpha state, characteristic of deep relaxation and meditation, but they pulse in unison with the earth's magnetic field, known as the Schuman Resonance. 

While I am grateful to have science back up what I have always felt, I didn't require it for me to personally realize the Power of Touch.

Reiki For Animals...It Works!!

I spent last night giving Reiki to a 2.5 lb Chihuahua who had been accidentally stepped on by her owner. When I first got the call from the Vet, the picture was extremely grim to say the least...the puppy's left lung was completely bruised and the right lung was somewhat bruised. Bruised lungs mean the puppy was slowly suffocating because the lungs could not function properly. The owner was faced with the terrible decision of putting the puppy to sleep. Since the puppy was not suffering we chose to give her Reiki until the next set of x-rays   were to be taken in the morning. After giving the puppy oxygen, fluids and Reiki throughout the night...the next set of x-rays showed significant improvement. Actually the Vet said it was in his opinion a miracle. The puppy went from almost being euthanized to being healthy enough to return home the following day!

Reiki and Animals

 

My relationship with Reiki started long before I even knew the word "Reiki". My first "teacher" was my beloved cocker spaniel named Prince. I was convinced he could read my mind which I later learned he was actually reading my energy. Prince was my constant companion, my playmate, my friend, as well as my teacher. He had a way of making me smile even in my darkest moments...you see I had what most would call a nightmare for a childhood. When I was down, he would nudge me with his muzzle in an attempt to get me to pet him. While petting him, I would find myself starting to feel better, a feeling of love and calmness would come over me, he made the rest of my day bearable. As I pet him, his body would become incredibly warm as would my hands. After 13 years, Prince passed, yet he remains a very active part of my life to this day.

Throughout my life animals have played a very important role, I have been fortunate enough to be in a position to help them. I have bottled raised kittens, cows, and squirrels. I rescued dogs that were to be killed at the shelter and worked with them until they were adoptable. I have even raised young birds that had fallen out of their nest. I have been told how special and wonderful I am to help animals and the animals are so lucky to have someone like me...my response has always been "I am the lucky one, every animal who has been in my life has always given me way more than I have given them".

Research as proven that petting an animal can actually lower a person's blood pressure. In addition research also shows owing a pet can help you live longer. Many VA Hospitals are using animals to treat PTSD. I can't help but find it kinda ironic that something my beloved dog, Prince, taught me as a child is now being proven by today's traditional Medical Community.
