Energy healing, psychic or spiritual
from wikipedia.com
Energy in spirituality, refers to a widespread belief in an interpersonal, non-physical force or essence. Vitalism is a general term for a force that animates living things. Believers consider spiritual energy to be of a different type
than those known to science. Various ideas pertaining to spiritual energy have been postulated in various cultures,
prominent amongst them are:
Various forms of mysticism often associate "bad energy" with disease, and "good energy" and healing powers. Most theories involve the ability to actively
influence one's energy. For example, acupuncture purports to have beneficial effects on the human body by manipulating its natural flow of energy. Reiki is a similar procedure in Japanese culture which involves the qi (ki) and the laying of hands. Different theories hold different judgements on the ability of plants
or animals to hold energy forces.
Theories of spiritual energy are not validated by the scientific method, thus are dismissed as non-empirical beliefs by the scientific community. Theories of spiritual energy are often felt to be a "folie à plusieurs".(see pseudoscience)
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide.
What makes Reiki unique is that it incorporates elements of just about every other alternative healing practices such as spiritual
healing, auras, crystals, chakra balancing, meditation, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and homeopathy.
Reiki involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient to enhance the
body's natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki utilizes specific techniques for restoring and
balancing the natural life force energy within the body. It is a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing system that touches
on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word representing universal life energy,
the energy which is all around us. It is derived from rei, meaning "free passage" or "transcendental spirit" and ki, meaning
"vital life force energy" or " universal life energy".
Reiki Energy
Reiki
energy is regarded as life energy at its most effective-with the maximum vibration. It is considered to have an almost divine
quality and as such includes everything, in a world where problems and disorders are deemed to be due to the feeling of detachment
from the world. There is no division of Reiki energy into positive and negative forms but when a person undergoes a session
of therapy, they allow the energy to be taken into themselves with beneficial effects. Essentially, those receiving Reiki
energy decide subconsciously just how much of the life energy is taken in.
Those
who use Reiki regularly often find they are more joyful, lively and their own in-built energy is enhanced-almost as if their
batteries had been fully charged! Existing conflicts within the person are broken down and there is a greater vitality, leading
to relaxation and a stimulation of the body. As this improvement develops, the natural processes of renewal and removal of
toxins are enhanced and rendered more effective, ultimately opening up more of the body to the life energy.
Body
organs such as the skin, and protective systems such as the immune system are improved providing the individual is prepared
regularly to undertake Reiki and in the first place to undergo an attunement or initiation into Reiki energy. The initiation
is merely a means whereby the universal life energy is bestowed through the Reiki master. The master acts as a channel and
a link with God to release the healing power.
An
initiation is not absolutely essential but it allows the individual access to the universal life energy, which is used rather
than their own life energy. Also, an initiation conveys a greater capacity for using Reiki energy, with no associated tiredness
and further, it provides a protective mechanism against any negative manifestations.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki
practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize. Unlike other healing therapies based on the premise
of a human energy field, Reiki seeks to restore order to the body whose vital energy has become unbalanced.
Reiki
energy has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides
new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.
The
laying of hands is used in Reiki therapy also as in spiritual healing. There is a difference though. In spiritual healing,
a person with a strong energy field places his or her hands above a particular part of the recipient's body in order to release
energy into it. So, here the healer is the one who is sending out the energy. In Reiki, however, the healer places the hands
above the recipient; however, it is the recipient that draws the energy as needed. Thus, in this case, the individual being
healed takes an active part in the healing process as opposed to having a passive part in spiritual healing. The individual
takes responsibility for his or her healing. The recipient identifies the needs and cater to them by drawing energy as needed.
Although
there are a few positions in which the practitioner is in contact with the patient (such as cradling the head), most Reiki
treatments do not involve actual touching. The practitioner holds his or her hands a few inches or farther away from the patient's
body and manipulates the energy field from there.
History
of Reiki
Reiki is believed to have begun in Tibet several thousand years ago. Seers in the Orient studied
energies and developed a system of sounds and symbols for universal healing energies. Various healing systems, which crossed
many different cultures, emerged from this single root system. Unfortunately, the original source itself was forgotten.
Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian educator in Kyoto, Japan, rediscovered the root system in the mid- to late 1800s. He began an extensive
twenty-one-year study of the healing phenomena of history's greatest spiritual leaders. He also studied ancient sutras (Buddhist
teachings written in Sanskrit). He discovered ancient sounds and symbols that are linked directly to the human body and nervous
system which activate the universal life energy for healing.
Usui then underwent a metaphysical experience and became empowered to use these sounds and symbols to heal. He called
this form of healing Reiki and taught it throughout Japan
until his death around 1893.
The tradition was passed through several grandmasters of reiki such as Dr. Chujiro Hyashi, Hawayo Takata, and Phyllis
Lei Furumoto.
There are many forms of reiki being practiced now. The two principal ones are: "the Usui System of Natural Healing"
and "the Radiance Technique."
The Usui System of Natural Healing balances and strengthens the body's energy, promoting its ability to heal itself.
Reiki is useful in treating serious serious illnesses as well as others. Examples are: sports injuries, cuts, burns,
internal diseases, emotional disorders, and stress-related illnesses.
Reiki was introduced to the Western world in the mid-1970s. Since then its use has spread dramatically worldwide.
Namaste
The term Namaste is commonly used within new-age, yoga
and reiki circles. It is a respectful greeting, both as a welcome and a saying good-bye. This Sanskrit word was brought to
the western world by spiritual seekers in India and Nepal.
It has become so popular because this salutation addresses the inner man, where western greetings focus on attention for the
outer person.
Here are several translations for Namaste:
“I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of Love, of
Truth, of Light, and of Peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, We are One. “
“The God(dess) in me greets and honors the God(dess) in you.”
"I salute the divine qualities in you."
"I salute the God within You."
"My soul bows to your soul.”.
"The Great Perfection within me honors the Great Perfection within you".
As you will notice the salutation Namaste fills one with reverence. The first time I was welcomed this greeting called
forth feelings of respect, acceptance, openness and love.
Traditionally Namaste is said while bringing together both palms of the hands before the heart in prayer position,
and lightly bowing the head and shoulders. Herewith you surrender your ego, show that your hands are unarmed, and that you
come in peace. The hands folded in prayer position also symbolize celebration and honor. The left and right hand brought together
depict Union and centeredness.
In Namaste you pay honor to the sacredness of all. In this holiness you become still for a moment. While meeting the
other one on the level of the heart and soul, the separation between you and me crumbles into pieces; no longer is there another
one – there is only One.
Namaste!

Colour & Sound Healing
Colour
Colour is the range of vibrational energies to which human beings are most attuned, by which the individual may attain psychological and physical harmony. Colour is an integral part of our lives
and reflects in everything from the clothes we wear to the food we eat. Even thoughts and emotions are tinged with colour,
each having its own attributes and qualities.
In colour healing it’s traditionally considered that the rainbow is divided into seven
colours, which correspond to the seven main chakras of the body : root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye or
brow and crown. The energies of colour and light as healing tools have been used for many centuries. It is important
to understand that working with colour is just working with white light.
Isaac Newton showed how dense molecules bent white light when he shone a beam of light through
a prism where it broke up into the colours of the rainbow. So, the spectrum of rainbow of colours that we see around us are
all different aspects of white light and each colour has its own personality which provides a key to its energy boosting qualities.
In physics colours are measured as different vibrations or wavelengths and therefore makes
sense that individual colours have different properties and qualities.
Each of the seven main colours, does have, from a psychological point of view both positive
and negative attributes, and, it is important for a reading or healing to be able to define the colours required for the seeker
at a given time.
Sound
Sound has been
used as a healing force for thousands of years. All ancient civilizations used sound for healing. Traditional cultures still
surviving today understand the remarkable healing power that lies in sound. It uses toning,
chanting, or vibrations from voice or instruments to stimulate the body's own ability to heal itself. Sound healing is
known to boost the immune system, regulate respiration, lower blood pressure, alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote endurance.
Practitioners work with the belief that each cell in the body is a sound resonator and has its own pulse, pattern and cycle.
Recently new sound therapies have been developed based upon the theories of acupuncture, where sound is used to stimulate
certain points on the body.
You have experienced sound healing when, after a stressful day you put on some relaxing
music and 'chill out', it's tht theraputic vibrations in the music that heaal the stressed body and mind.
