3 Easy Random Acts of Kindness
February 18 is the start of Random Acts of Kindness Week. Their website is packed with great ideas on how to celebrate, and I especially love the approach of committing a random act of kindness for three different people: Someone you don’t know Someone you know Yourself Someone you don’t know This is pretty simple and can quickly become a habit. (That could be a good thing!) Smile. When you’re in a depressingly long line at the bank, watching a parent deal with their toddler’s public meltdown, or sitting next to another car in traffic. A kind grin goes a long way when you’re feeling a bit hopeless about the…

Can Reiki Help with PTSD Symptoms?
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious condition which occurs after a traumatic incident. While it is most commonly associated with military combat, other types of trauma can trigger this condition (examples: rape, abuse, and domestic violence). This article will briefly discuss why PTSD occurs and how Reiki can help. Experiencing a serious trauma can trigger PTSD as the brain struggles to make sense of the event. PTSD can often result in re-experiencing the event, many times with vivid imagery or nightmares. Additionally, someone experiencing PTSD may become hyper-alert. Being constantly on the lookout for danger can result in difficulties sleeping and focusing. Some other common symptoms are avoiding…

Have You Checked Your “Feel Good” Barometer?
Have you taken the time to check your “Feel Good” barometer? On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being really yucky and 10 being great), how would you answer this question … How good do I feel? Some people say things like “oh, well … I have a little pain or discomfort, but it’s not too bad.” On the above scale, where would you place the level of that discomfort? Many folks brush off these regular discomforts without realizing that excess or stuck energy may be the reason for that pain/discomfort. It’s all relative to the person in pain; however, I think anything 5 or below to be…

Reiki for Chronic Pain
What is Reiki? Reiki is an ancient healing technique thought to have originated in India and then reintroduced in Japan in the 1920’s. The Reiki practitioner, by gently placing hands on the client, can help to rearrange the body’s Chi (or life force energy) in such a way as to relieve pain, speed up healing, and promote a sense of peace and well-being within the subject. Considered an Alternative Therapy, and often used to supplement or compliment Western medical techniques, Reiki has been shown to be effective in support of the healing process. How is Chronic Pain Defined? Chronic pain is defined as any level of physical discomfort that lasts…

Craving the Quiet
I believe we are living in a world which demands that our body is on high alert almost all the time. The consciousness of mankind is bombarded by stimulus every waking moment. We process more data/noise in an hour than our grandparents might have processed in a month. When does the body have a chance to shut down from this, regenerate and seek to balance itself? We need the down time, and yet we rarely take it. We say we are too busy and yet our busy-ness is creating a stress level that our ancestors would have found unbearable. Actually, our bodies do find it unbearable. Our high stress levels…

What is Emotion Code?
Energy Balancing is a simple and powerful method to remove negative energy and/or false beliefs and replace them with positive ones. Your body has the innate ability to bounce back and heal itself from all kinds of stress, trauma, and illness. This self-healing is dependent on the systems and organs of the body working in harmony with each other. When the trapped emotions are contributing to physical, emotional or mental illness, removing them can help us heal. Sessions consist of emotional release, energy balancing, subconscious belief pattern reprogramming, and life/wellness coaching. It is an easy process that releases negative baggage from the past and allows you to experience healing and…

What is Chakra Balancing
Health is the result of harmonizing all the aspects of one’s self: body, mind, soul (spirit). Someone enjoying an authentic state of well-being has mastered his own processes of cleansing, integration and inner creation. Humans are complex and mysterious clusters of energy, animated by the flow of existence and bursting with infinite potential in the genesis of all that is. In order for someone to reach that state of empowerment and enter consciously in the space of co-creation, one needs to emerge from the state of disharmony – fear, illnesses, powerlessness – and find balance. So, how do we find balance? Inner equilibrium is related to the seven main energy…

Morning Peacefulness
If you’re a regular reader, you might remember my post a little while ago about Reclaiming My Rosary where I talked about using my rosary in a non-traditional way as a meditation tool. For the past few weeks, I’ve been using some personal affirmations, elemental/directional statements, parts of the Prayer of St. Francis, and paraphrases of the Reiki Principles during my meditation. It helps me focus my meditation and provides positive statements for my mind to dwell on. And it’s made a big difference in my mental outlook in just a few short weeks. I’ve had time over the past few days to listen to some Abraham Hicks sound clips on…
