Reiki For Stress Reduction

Reiki For Stress Reduction

Traumatic stress is much more common than recognized or acknowledged. Here is where Reiki for stress reduction can come into play to reduce the burden and relax the tension these problems affect. There is a growing public health and economic burden of chronic disease resulting from the adverse effects of traumatic stress. A major study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, revealed a compelling relationship between our traumatic experiences as children and our physical and mental health as adults. These experiences are significant risk factors and leading causes of chronic disease in the United States. Many western medical practices used in the United States merely manage chronic disease. Energy healing techniques such as Reiki seeks to heal the dis-ease at its root cause that was attributed by traumatic stress.

One can feel the effects in the body and/or mind experienced from sessions during an energy healing. Clients remain fully clothed, close their eyes, and can lie down or can be seated during sessions. The practitioner does not have to touch the client during sessions. We all have the life force running through us, and like all of us in life we have low energy times, when we can use more energy, a tune up so to speak, or a boost to our energy system. Reiki can assist you to stay focused and balanced, and can assist you to accomplish your desired goals. It has many applications with non-invasion and practical use. Reiki for stress reduction can be your aid to a happier more productive way to enjoy and enhance your life.

All my family has benefited from Reiki sessions. We love It!!!

Disappointment and Frustration

August 22, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

sadness photo Our external life is highly complex, and an important part of our external life, is a reflection of our inner programming and ancestral family patterns. So I ask you,”who’s running the show of your life?” Depression, disillusionment, disappointment and frustration? I’m not referring to your parents, partner, children or teachers. I’m talking about YOU.

Your best course of action with these issues is to release your deep-seated inner programs that are causing havoc and stopping your progress big time. Most of us have this because we all have generational family patterns. Healing starts from the inside out! It always has been that way. We are just beginning to recognize that fact. From my point of view healing is an inside job, and what manifests is brought up and out to the surface from within us.

When we experience lack of love, or money in our life it is a reflection back to us of some program we caught deep deep inside ourselves that’s running the show. We act like we’re on autopilot until we delete the programs…not just from our computer banks, but we must also hit the delete button for the trash as well…to finally free ourselves from repeating the draining, non-productive parts of our lives. This cycle when not deleted proves to be a detriment with being in alignment with making our life a success. There are some health related issues that are a source of these problems as well. Happiness is hard to achieve and thwarted when we live from these unconscious overpowering behaviors and actions.

We therefore have a choice before us…We can attempt to change our life by changing our outer circumstances and situations. OR…we can go to the causal source of that bottom line program(s), and release the program that keeps presenting to you the picture of your outer experience that you really want to remove or change.

What’s better?
Trying to manage and control our external circumstances and situations is what most people do.
But as you probably know already – it takes a lot of effort, stress and energy to make changes in the “external” world. And even if we do manage to make some changes – we often find the ‘real’ underlying problem is still there (only the life scenery has changed; not the vehicle we’re traveling in).

There’s an easier more permanent way to make changes in the “external” world. The way is to go to the point where it was created in the first place, the causal point, and release the programs within that are manifesting the experiences which we want to change.

Releasing the programs is like taking a movie film out the projector on the screen of life, and replacing that old worn out movie with a different new and life-enhancing movie. As you replace the old programs being projected on your movie screen; you will experience a different life played out on the screen of our life.

The fastest and easiest way to release all the suppressed (hidden) programs you hold in your mind body and etheric energy field is through: a consistent releasing process and energy healing work from ancestral history patterns.

I offer you a different way to quickly and effectively release (clear away) the subconscious programs preventing you from living the life you really want to be living. Many of these hidden programs have been with you for many family generations passed. These programs have been stored in your DNA as programs repeating in your subconscious mind. We are now ready in our evolutionary history to remove and allow these ties to heal consciously. We have woken up to the fact that we don’t have to hold these burdens any longer. This work can also clear these problems from your family lineage as well.

You can release these patterns by clearing the ancestral family lines. Through specific prayer work, emotional energy healing, and Self-Identity through Ho’oponopono you can open the door to a new present and future for yourself and your family.

Reiki for Stress and Pain Reduction

Experiencing Reiki is a self help empowering and relaxing way to take an active part in your daily health care. These techniques work with our inherent, life force energy to establish balance and neutralize causes of stress, and disease forming in the body system.

Reiki pronounced (ray-key) or (ley-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

Reiki (ray-key) or (ley-key) is an ancient healing technique for modern times. Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by relieving physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and nurturing. It supports and complements any medical healing method a person may be using. Reiki is a method to aid the body in releasing stress and tension through deep relaxation.

Ki – Life Force Energy

As long as something is alive, it has life energy circulating through it and surrounding it; when it dies the life energy departs. If your life energy is low, or a restriction in its flow, you are more vulnerable to illness. When one’s energy is high, and flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick. Life energy plays and important role in everything we do.

Reiki was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s. Reiki is administered by techniques used for thousands of years. Its origins are in ancient traditions that use symbols which transfer to the receiver therapeutic healing energy, peace, and balance. Reiki works with the whole person, promoting wellness on the physical, mental, emotional levels of our being. That is the Mind Body connection, of which we hear about so much today.

Reiki can never cause harm. It never depletes your energy, and is easily learned by anyone. Reiki is both powerful and gentle. Reiki is commonly used to treat emotional and mental distress as well as chronic and acute physical problems. Reiki works in harmony with all other types of treatment. In its long history of use it has aided in improving the effectiveness of all other types of therapy.

Reiki helps reduce negative side effects, such as those from chemotherapy, surgery, and invasive procedures. Reiki can shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress and helps to create optimism. Hospital patients receiving Reiki leave hospitals in an earlier span of time.

Reiki is complimentary with any health care modality. You can continue to receive regular or psychological treatment while receiving Reiki, with improved results. It is recommended that you do so under the supervision of an enlightened medical doctor or other health care professional.

During a Reiki session clients are fully clothed. A Reiki session can be done seated or reclining. The practitioner simply uses light hand placement on various positions on the client’s head and body. If the person receiving Reiki prefers not to be touched they do not have to be touched during a Reiki session, because the energy will work through and around the energy field of the client.

Gratitude Can Have Deep Positive Affects On Health

January 9, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Since we are what we eat and what we think…here are some ways to enrich your life and health in this New Year. It’s all about your energy and how you use it, because everything is made up of vibrations of energy. Although energy is unseen (meaning its not a thing you can go to the store and buy, nor is the energy of Love for that matter); yet it is certainly palpable and you can feel its affects. It’s about time and wise for each of us to get in touch with what energies we are taking in…and giving out…especially now in the 21 Century.

Five Contemplations Before Eating:

1) This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, and much hard and loving work.
2) May we eat with mindfulness and gratitude so as to be worthy to receive this food.
3) May we recognize and transform unskillful states of mind, especially our greed and learn to eat with moderation.
4) May we keep our compassion alive by
eating in such a way that reduces the suffering of living beings, stops contributing to climate change, and heals and preserves our precious planet.
5) We accept this food so that we may nurture our brotherhood and sisterhood, build our community, and nourish our ideal of serving all living beings.– Recited before meals in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing, a Buddhist community that spans the globe

Eat in Gratitude and Thanksgiving:

Since researchers have concluded that expressing gratitude can have deep and positive effects on your health, we suggest that you may want to find ways to bring thankfulness into your preparation and eating of food. When you sit down to eat, whether by yourself or with others, you can take a moment to reflect on the gifts of food in front of you, the effort that went into bringing it to your table, and the blessings that abound with eating healthy meals.

The saying of grace is, at least in its original intent:
A way of connecting to our sense of gratitude and kinship with life. It is a means of caring for ourselves. It is a way to slow down, to relax, to let go of the busy-ness and worries of the day, and to be open to the food we’re about to receive.

It enables us to acknowledge and bond with the others with whom we are sharing the meal. It is a way to join with them, and all the people and elements that have made our meal possible, in a spirit of appreciation. It is not so much the words we say, as the state of mind and heart we evoke, that is important. It is a way to honor the deep human need to express our common unity in the mystery of life.

Easy Tips For Physical And Mental De-Stress

October 6, 2014 by Linda Crane 2 Comments

Stop “trying” to eat healthfully START doing it 100%. Why? because “trying” to do something can be stressful. Feeling good and healthy is a large part of “Living The Good Life”. We learn about this when we aren’t feeling well. Not eating well causes us to struggle mentally and physically. Eventually we will have to get more creative to regain what we may lose from less healthy habits. This can cause that emotional roller-coaster which produces fatigue and feeling drained from those highs and low’s. By choosing more healthy foods to keep your life on a better even track, you can meet challenges in your daily life more “easily and stress free” to accomplish your goals. Less stress and more peaceful living is of great value for experiencing more happiness each day.

“Easy Tips” for Physical and Mental De-Stress Each Day.

On the physical health side: It’s known that we are products of our environment, our thoughts and our habits. “Think a thought, sow an act…Sow an act, reap the habit,…Sow the habit, reap the character,… Sow the character, reap the destiny.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I like Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D. and agree with what he says about eating nutritiously for health:

“This will take strength and effort, but the pleasure and rewards will be priceless”!

1. “Go Cruciferous“! Cruciferous vegetables are your best defense for fighting cancer! Examples: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, bok choy, arugula, collard greens, daikon, mustard greens, kohlrabi, radishes, rutabaga, turnips, watercress.

2. Salad is the main dish – and the secret to successful weight control and a long healthy life.

3. Low-nutrient foods fuel overeating behavior – “Flood Your Cells With Nutrients”!

4. Eat For Health…put an end to type II diabetes or heart disease – and get off medications! Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D.

For Mental De-Stressing:

Take a “5 Minute Fix of silence and quiet” to enhance your mental focus and happiness. Give your brain a chance to be off duty…by inviting more quiet into your busy life. This will assist you in being more productive while making healthier decisions.

If you lose those moments to de-stress then you also lose the chance to process and integrate things you have learned… heard… and done. Helpful ideas show up when you turn off the noise. Many people get good insights when taking a bath or while taking a shower without any distractions.

You’ll discover as I did that without distractions; you will have more space to think, relax, brainstorm, and enhance your ability to move toward achieving those things that make you feel happy.

The Following Points Are Helpful For Me:

1. Turn down the volume and stop living with chronic noise.

These are some small changes that give my brain the opportunity to focus and reflect, so I can make healthier decisions. When we turn down the volume we can tune into another person and experience a connection in a relationship that we can’t get from a life awash with noise, chatter, and distractions.

2. Take regular breaks from social media just 5 minutes at a time helps to allow more quiet time into my life. This helps me to be calmer and more energetic.

Constant noise around us adds to the rise of blood pressure and it affects how well we remember things too. Studies on quiet and the brain show that in a noisy environment (ex: a crowded restaurant) affect short term memory in that it becomes overloaded, because the brain circuitry that processes recall and speech is the same one that handles noise. Ever notice that when you are driving and you become lost you’re likely to turn down the volume on the radio? That’s because when it’s noisy in your environment it’s tougher to concentrate and find your way. It works the same way for trying to find your way in life…when there are too many distractions it’s harder to focus, plan properly, and delays occur for coming up with the right solutions.

If you are usually distracted by TV, background noise, or a vibrating cell phone, you miss out on your brain being off duty. Usually when my brain is quiet I come up with those great hunches. When your brain is constantly going it is much harder to process what you have learned, you are less attentive to what you have heard, what you have done, and your recall is not as sharp.

3. When less distracted and less stressed you’re more likely to keep up positive habits. Here are a few ways to invest in calmness:

When you are first driving out in your car wait 5 minutes before turning on the radio.

Instead of flipping on the TV right away you can choose what to read by getting your news on line. It’s better than being forced to process all the days distressing range of stories to watch and fear.

The following has never failed me for decades. This is my knowing that has become my personal program so I don’t have to tune into the media hype all the time. You may want to try my approach. Be positive and consistent with this for it to work for you as well.

I just know and believe, that I will find out everything I need to know… at just the right time I need to know it…and will be able to do whatever I have to do… with plenty of time to do it.

4. Set Boundaries for yourself. Example: Refrain from checking your phone during meals. You’ll digest your food much better. Without constant threats of interruptions your more inclined to do something productive for your brain like daydream to invent design your present and future.

5. Meditate which is about quieting the mind and helps you to get inspired. In order to have new fresh ideas come to you…give your mind calm quiet moments. Take deep…relaxing…slow…belly breathes in through your nose…and out through your mouth…to experience calmness, and feel more centered. This will enhance your health and focus.

And when you are eating foods packed with nutrients, and include the mental habits to achieve happiness and calm; you’ll become more inspired and productive. Your brain will love it too.

Life’s small moments can only add up to something more meaningful when you give yourself the chance to reflect on them!
