Energy Healing

Having attended a wonderful Seichem Workshop at the weekend I feel like writing about hands on healing or energy work. Many people have heard of Reiki an ancient Japanese (Dr Mikao Usui) form of healing the body’s energy field or aura bychannelling the universal energy through one’s hands. It rebalances energy, strengthening the body’s own energy and cleanses the body’s chakras, the mind, emotions and physical body. Reiki heals areas that need treating and is used to compliment many conventional therapies world wide.

Guidelines to live by, a poem for today:

Just for today, do not worry.

Just for today, do not anger.

Honor your parents, teachers and elders.

Earn your living honestly.

Show gratitude to everything.

—Dr. Mikao Usui

Reiki calms the mind reduces stress, worry or anxiety. It also boosts the immune system and supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It unblocks our creativity helping us reach our true potential, promoting self confidence and aiding us to develop healthy relationships.

Seichem is another form of energy healing, an add on to Reiki really. It is a combination of Reiki along with the three other elements fire, water and air. Used together combining theearth element of Reiki, Seichem is considered a powerful form of energy healing used to aid and give healing to acute problems, injuries and chronic illness. Reiki and Seichem, energy work is channeled through a practitioner byplacing their hands on or over the body in positions corresponding to chakras and organs. A typical session lasts an hour, but can be done in as short a time as 15 mins or distance healing.

There are many more forms of healing for example Acupuncture, Angel Healing, Body Work Massage, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Colour Therapy, EFT, Theta Healing etc. The bottom line is that they all come from a good intention to raise the client from one state to a better one, aiding relief and peace. The client does not need to believe or do a course in the therapy to receive a treatment – there comes a time when you are happy to surrender to a higher good and allow healing to take place.

Reminder: Yoga is a moving meditation, not a fitness class!

In today’s fast pace world everyone is looking for a quick fix. Why not put in a bit of time to learn a practice that will over time give great benefit. Yoga claims to have many benefits and from each school of yoga there are many great things that come from a regular practice, such as mental and physical steadiness, strength, flexibility and it can detoxify the muscles and organs. The underlying message is that Yoga brings balance to your system, eliminating restlessness in the body so you can find a comfortable place within you!

Yoga is a moving meditation; pushing or forcing yourself into a pose will be of no benefit. Holding yourself in tension is not the meaning of yoga either but using the practice to learn skills to help you in all personal avenues off the mat will be of great benefit!

Use the breath to guide you: Inhale – gain space, Exhale – allows you to relax, or go deeper. Steady and even inhale and exhale through the nose. Listen to the sound and rhythm of the breath. Try to stay in tune with your breathing – vinyasa is the linking of movement and breath. Cultivate an inner awareness, know your limits, listen to your body, and work on your breath not your ego!

Over time, with a regular practice, your body will open up. Be patient; enjoy all stages of the practice. There should be no ego in yoga, this competitive attitude will cause injury and prevent the real benefit coming to you. Everyone has a different body type so trying to be like your neighbour is preventing you from seeing the beauty of your own body and posture.

 

A moving meditation allows you to check in with the physical body, the emotions, the mind and the spiritual body. Becoming aware of the breath on the mat allows you to take these skills off the mat. Regulating the breath will become easier and, at difficult or stressful times, it will bring a sense of calmness. The first time you find yourself using the skills from your yoga class in an everyday situation you will then understand the reasons and benefit of yoga.

Namaste
