Is it bad to get a reiki attunement after smoking a joint?

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I am about to get my first reiki attunement, but I just smoked a joint with a friend. Is this going to affect the energy?

Your choice of what you do affects your energy and your understanding of it. How can you possibly feel, or understand something like the subtle energy field (Bio Energy Field) if you are lost in another world of weed

After you've been Reiki attuned, is it possible for the universal healing energy to leave or atrophy?

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I am Reiki attuned (level II) and have been for just over a year. Sometimes I feel like the energy does not flow through me very strongly. I want to feel it more strongly. I've asked my spirit guides to allow the energy to flow intensely, but this doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions or information?

There are those who do Reiki and those who live Reiki.

Once you are attuned you are always attuned. Sometimes the energy is flowing just as strongly but you do not get to feel it move through you, only the person receiving. I have had days where I can not feel the energy but I do the session properly and trust that the energy is doing its thing and it always does.

Also you may want to take an inventory to see how clean and sensitive a vessel you are on any given day. This can influence your effectiveness ad a conduit.

Do you eat and drink healthy, minimally processed foods? Do you sleep enough, drink enough water? Do you drink alcohol, use drugs, take medications, eat a lot of sugar or meat? Do you pray and /or meditate daily? Do you spend time in nature? Do you do daily self healing? Do you use your Reiki frequently?

All of these things can make a difference in your intuition and sensitive perception of the energy as well as how smoothly the energy can move through you and how much can move through you at any given time.

The cleaner you live and the more you are in touch with your spirit and in the flow of the Reiki energy the more effective you will be as a healer. You can chose a less pure lifestyle and still the Reiki will work through you because of your willingness but you will be less effective.

What Is Reiki

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Reiki is the practice of using one’s hands to direct and channel the energies, or Ki, of the body , thereby healing the patient. Most schools of Reiki teach that energy has an intelligence of its own and that once it is channeled will automatically work on the part of the body that needs it most.

Reiki was founded in the early 1900s by a Buddhist, Mikao Usui, who, after a long period of fasting and meditation, claimed to hear voices revealing “the keys to healing.” Usui then trained several disciples and the practice spread throughout Japan. Heightened interest among Americans in alternative health practices led to the spread of Reiki in the United States in the latter part of the twentieth century.

A typical Reiki session involves the patient lying down on a table or bed and the Reiki practitioner moving his or her hands over or on the body. The patient may feel sensations such as cold, heat or tingling, or they may feel nothing. Reiki practitioners attribute any sensations to the movement of energy through the body. Some practitioners charge for their services and others don’t.

Reiki is controversial because there is no governing body that standardizes training and practice and licenses practitioners. There are several different “schools” of Reiki, each teaching slightly different methods and practices. There are Wiccan, Celtic and Tibetan flavors of Reiki, and even one that was developed in the American Southwest. In the most traditional school of Reiki, students must complete three courses before they can become Masters and initiate and train other students. This has led to the rise of internet-based distance courses in Reiki, some of which claim they can train a student in just three days.

Most conventional health practitioners question the efficacy of Reiki. They point out that research does not indicate that it is beneficial and fear that patients with serious diseases will seek Reiki treatment over other, more proven, treatments. However, some have seen some benefit in including Reiki treatments along with more conventional medicine.

Reiki has often been compared to the faith healing or laying on of hands practiced in some Christian churches. Some Reiki practitioners prefer the term “spiritual healing” because the patient does not have to believe in any doctrine for the treatment to work. In fact, they claim that the patient does not have to believe the treatment itself will work in order for it to be effective.

Natural Asthma Treatment - Quick and Easy

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Asthma affects 1 out of every 15 students. It effects so many parts of their existence, such as social activities, school work, and involvement in sports and recreational activities. Many people look for a natural cure for asthma rather than adding chemicals to their body. Keep in mind, though, that asthma treatment using natural remedies hinges on the specific trigger at the root of the attack.

There are a variety of triggers and processes that can lead to an asthma attack. Among the many triggers are mold, pets, chemicals, smoke, perfume, cleaning agents, food allergies, emotional stress, environmental allergens, changes in barometric pressure, cold temperatures, and pests like rats and cockroaches.

Most of the solutions to asthmatic attacks include medications, steroids and long term medical treatments. One immediate natural relief for asthma is to avoid the triggers such as avoiding pets, chemicals, environmental allergens and emotional stress. You can’t escape some triggers, such as pest and animal droppings, cold temperatures and fluctuations in barometric pressure.

Natural remedies, including stress reducers, can be used to manage other triggers like emotional stress. Other people turn to herbs and organic foods that have potential positive effects on the prevention of an attack.

Another treatment that provides immediate natural relief for asthma is to work toward prevention by improving the immune system and decreasing the constrictions of the bronchioles and alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs. Aerosolized hydrogen peroxide used in a humidifier improves the availability of oxygen that can be metabolized by the asthma patient.

Adding hydrogen peroxide to the humidifier has been shown to have a positive effect on increasing the amount of oxygen that is able to be used. Adding the hydrogen peroxide will vaporize the product but will also bleach out the wall and curtains near the vaporizer. With the consent of your doctor and appropriate methodology the hydrogen peroxide can be added to the machines that deliver your bronchodilator.

This method works to eliminate attacks and helps to enhance your immune system, but it doesn’t get to the root causes of the disease. You should investigate various means of managing your emotional stress for fast and natural treament of stress induced asthma attacks. Try using Reiki, which is a technique used to reduce stress, help you relax, and provide healing not only to your body but to your spirit.

In English, the meaning of Reiki is usually translated as “life force energy”. When your life flow is reduced, your chances of getting sick and experiencing stress are higher. If Reiki is elevated we are happier, healthier and more in control. Reiki is a wonderful therapy that quickly and naturally relieves asthma symptoms, and also benefits your spirit, mind, body and emotions.

By paying attention to preventative measures and reducing stress levels, you can decrease the use of meds and enjoy natural relief for asthma symptoms.

A New Look at Stress Relieving Herb Rhodiola.

Monday, November 10th, 2008
by Keith Woolley

The newest anxiety and stress reliever on the market is Rhodiola Rosea which is a natural cure.

Rhodiola Rosea (aka “Golden Root”) is flora endemic to the tundras of Siberia. Eastern European and Asian cultures have used it for centuries to increase endurance, productivity, resistance to altitude sickness, and longevity and it has also been used to treat many conditions such as fatigue, depression, impotence, stomach illness, anemia, and disorders of the nervous system.

These are the first recorded medical uses of rodia riza. (thereafter referred to as Rhodiola Rosea) was constructed in the year 77 C. by Greek physician Dioscorides.E. contained within ‘De Materia Medica’. Official Russian medicine has accepted the inclusion of Rhodiola Rosea since 1969.

In spite of a lengthy past, Western Civilization has just recently realized the medical advantages of Rhodiola Rosea. Natural health practitioners have become aware of its effectiveness in combating anxiety and stress due to studies.

Rhodiola Rosea is also thought to be an adaptogen. What this stands to show is that it has a stabilizing effect on a person’s body without upsetting other functions. Its capacity for normalizing hormones has possibilities for efficacious depression and anxiety therapies.

Studies have shown that Rhodiola Rosea stimulates the neurotransmitters and serves to enhance their affect on the brain. Another benefit is that it includes the chance for the brain to produce serotonin that will also help the body get used to stress more easily.

The results of scientific studies on the effects of biological, chemical and physical stress identified adaptogens as effective agents that improve the body’s overall ability to handle stress.

In intense mental work, Rhodiola rosea was studied intensely to see if any side affects take place. (final exams for example). Rhodiola Rosea is good not only as a stress reliever, but can improve the quality of work you perform, as well as boosting memory and making you less tired.

Both physical and emotional sources of stress and anxiety respond to the effects of Rhodiola Rosea, according to tests. According to reports endorsed by the American Botanical Council, people using this substance reported improvements in their concentration, their outlook on life, and even their energy. A research study found that Rhodiola Rosea can increase one’s tolerance of stress while concurrently working to ease the physical effects of stress that can harm the brain or heart.

Detailed studies on the health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea are highlighted in this report.

The general dosage, that should be taken, is 200 to 600 milligrams per day. Generally, those properties considered to be active should strive to be a minimum 0.Eight percent salidroside; three percent rosavin.

It is necessary for shoppers to be aware that Rhodiola might be on the market as something else that does not have the same ingredients as Rhodiola Rosea, or not strong enough to be used as a treatment. Prior to treating the symptoms of depression and anxiety naturally, one should always speak to their doctor first.
