Reiki and Colour Therapy

Reiki and Colour Therapy

Reiki works well with other therapies and especially when it is practised with colour therapy to create balance and harmony in the client. Colours have a profound effect especially on our emotions. Have you ever felt drawn to wearing a certain jumper or top that you feel drawn to, it can well be the colour, which you will intuitively wish to wear when we sense our body needs this colour. As you now know the chakras relate to certain colours. For instance the root chakra is red, which is the colour of passion. If this is out of balance you could lack enthusiasm for life or lack energy. Using colour in this area will greatly help. For more information on this subject see our Colour Therapy Course, written by a specialist on this subject

 

How to do a full Reiki Treatment

Reiki Treatment

When you are giving Reiki to yourself, make sure that you are lying or sitting on a comfortable, padded surface, such as a large cushion or a firm bed.  Each of the positions should be held for approx 5 minutes.

When giving Reiki to others, be aware of your guidance and your client above all else, follow your guidance and trust that the Reiki energy will know where to go, and what to do. It cannot harm anyone.

It is important to learn not to be attached to the results. Don’t try to force the energy or concentrate on channelling Reiki. Instead turn the healing over to the universe. The more centred and comfortable you are, the more effectively you will channel Reiki energy. As therapists, we often put our clients comfort ahead of our own. If we do not take care of ourselves, we will not be optimal channels.

•    Make sure you are comfortable and not strained.

•    If you are standing, keep your knees slightly bent to facilitate better energy flow.

•    Be aware of your breathing – take relaxed, deep breaths whilst channelling Reiki.

As a Reiki practitioner, it is important for you to stay aware of your client’s comfort. We recommend that you use the following guidelines to support your client:

Using Reiki on others

Check your body hygiene. Do you need to use deodorant or to brush your teeth?

Wash your hands before and after giving a Reiki treatment.

Suggest your client take off their shoes, glasses, and jewellery and loosen clothes if needed.

Ensure that both of your client’s legs are uncrossed.

Make sure your client is warm and comfortable on the treatment table or chair. You should keep a blanket handy, and place pillows under the persons’ knees to help support their lower back.

Place your hands on your client slowly and gently, and remove them in the same way.

Keep your fingers together.

When your hands are over the client’s eyes, be careful not to press on their eyelids or against their nostrils.

When working on the clients head, be conscious not to breathe on the face. Turn your head away slightly to breathe.

When working on the client’s neck, take care not to let the weight of your hands rest on their throat.

Do not lean on your client.

Do not try to force the energy or allow your ego to get in the way of natural flow.

To give a Reiki treatment, offer your hand positions and timing suggestions as guidelines. Reiki energy will go where it is needed, so the exact positions are not critical. Pay attention to your perception of yourself and your client when doing a treatment, and follow your guidance and intuition.

using chakra stones is a great way to balance all the chakras whilst healing and can be a most powerful addition to any treatment or even better still why not use a chakra pendent which will guide you whilst moving over the chakras the ones that are out of balance will show by the pendent swinging faster.

7 simple steps to balance your chakras

Chakra healing stones are used by reiki therapists, crystal healers and most alternative therapists are aware of the benefit of using the relevant stones to balance the chakras.

One of the best ways to use chakra stones is to use them for meditation. The following list offers advice on how to use your chakra stones.

1) first make sure you have a set of charka stones, generally a set of 7 stones which will relate to each chakra.

2) Ensure your stones have been cleansed either by rinsing under the tap for a few minutes or soaked in salt water.

3) Ensure that you will not be disturbed. Turn your phone off.

4) Regulate your breathing. It is recommended that you inhale through your nose and breath out through your mouth. Do this 7 times, inhaling deeply and whilst exhaling imagine any negative energy or thoughts leaving your body.

5) Take the first chakra stone and visualise that colour filling your entire being. Do this with each stone one at a time. Each stone will relate to a particular chakra and if you feel one particular colour becoming more visible to you then place this stone on that particular chakra. This will because you will need more balance in that particular area.

6) Once you have done this with all 7 stones and chakras, take some more deep breaths as before however this time imagine each of your chakras now filled with evergy and imagaine them closing.

7) You will find that after doing this a few times within a week that you will start to find more balance, not only on a physical level but also emotionally.

A Brief History – Runes

The word “ rune “ actually mean’s mystery, magic, secret, or whisper. They are an ancient Germanic alphabet that has been dated back to the 3rd century.  It is thought that they were first used for divination purposes and later for writing and record keeping.

Legend has it that Odin, the Norse High God of the Aesir, hung from the world tree (Yggdrasil), impaled on his own spear for nine days and nights in order to gain the knowledge of runes.  When the runes appeared below him, he reached down and picked them up, and the runic knowledge gave him power. He later passed on this knowledge to the Vanir goddess Freya. She in turn taught him the magic of Seidr. Heimdall the god who guarded the Rainbow Bridge taught the Runes to mankind.

The death of the runes as magical instruments occurred in 1639. The official laws of Iceland banned them, and any people found with runes in their possession were burned alive!

It is fascinating to think that as long ago as the 3rd century, runes had been used for major decision-making.  That their belief in them was so strong gives them a sense of awe.  I have great reverence for my stones and always treat them with the utmost respect. I truly believe that if you have a real affinity with your runes, they will speak to you.
Creating you own set

Today the use of rune stones is again becoming immensely popular. With many attractive sets available, (I personally have a beautiful amethyst set, which was given to me by a dear friend).

It can also be very satisfying to make your own set.  These can be of wood with the glyphs burned onto them, or as simple as flat pebbles from the beach with the glyphs either engraved or marked with a permanent pen.  Whatever style you choose, making the runes yourself will certainly help you to become familiar with them, and getting to know your stones is very important.  A little imagination is all that it takes.  I keep my runes in a velvet pouch, inside a beautiful box.

Lending your runes

Once you have become familiar with your own set, I think you will find it very difficult to lend these out.  To me there is something very personal about my runes. I feel that my own personality is around these stones and strangely I am very protective over them.

The Blank Rune

Again this is down to the individual.  There is no evidence to suggest that there ever has been a blank rune.  You can of course delve into this a little deeper if you wish; my thoughts on this are not to include it in my castings.  I will however give you the meanings, as I know them, so you can make you own decision on this.  But my suggestion to you is that if you happen to have a set with a blank rune then keep it and use it, as a replacement should you need to.

While others prefer to pick the runes individually out of the bag and form a spread.

Day rune - A good way to get an answer for a certain question.  Simply pick a single rune each day.
There are several different spreads to choose from and I will explain a few of these later on.

Rune Diary

It is always a good idea to keep a rune diary, as It is important to keep a record of all of your readings, weather you think they are good or bad. This will also help you to become more familiar with your runes.

Rune casting

The runes have become a great source of inspiration for many, and for some they provide a guide for daily life. It is more a means of analysing the path one is on, and a likely outcome.

The future is not fixed it changes with everything we decide to do.  So if you don’t like the prediction then you can always change your path.

Rune stone’s are an Oracle from which you can seek advice.  Sometimes they may not seem clear, and this is where your own intuition will be needed.  These are the times when the runes will guide you to the answers. They work best if you focus on your current situation, and ask a specific question.

You will need of-course your own set of rune stones a cloth of your choice on which to lay your stones, and one that is for this purpose only.  A quiet place where you will not be disturbed is ideal.

How to balance your chakras

BALANCE YOUR CHAKRAS - It is important that none of the chakras are blocked and that the energy is well balanced and flowing freely. Chakra means ‘wheel’ and I find it helpful to think of each one as a wheel turning, when you want to unblock them just imagine them as turning quite fast and the more they are unblocked the smoother and faster the wheel turns. When Chakras are out of balance they can affect the way you both feel and act. A simple meditation will help keep them aligned.

To meditate into your Chakras without using crystals simple lie on the floor, relax and aim to visualise all your chakras as coloured orbs of the same size.
Check each one and if you sense any black spots in or around the orb visualise these spots disappearing. Once you have cleansed all the chakras check they are in a straight line, any that you feel are out of line simply concentrate on that one until you feel it drop back into place.

Chakra/Stones

Below is are some stones that you can use for each chakra, however when working with the chakras to unblock them we shall only choose one stone for each individual chakra.

Reiki Clinical Intervention

Reiki as a clinical intervention in oncology nursing practice
Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, June, 2008 by Bossi. Larraine M., Mary Jane Ott, Susan DeCristofaro

Oncology nurses and their patients are frequently on the cutting edge of new therapies and interventions that support coping, health, and healing. Reiki is a practice that is requested with increasing frequency, is easy to learn, does not require expensive equipment, and in preliminary research, elicits a relaxation response and helps patients to feel more peaceful and experience less pain. Those who practice Reiki report that it supports them in self-care and a healthy lifestyle. This article will describe the process of Reiki, review current literature, present vignettes of patient responses to the intervention, and make recommendations for future study.


The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) lists Reiki as an energy therapy in its classification of complementary and alternative therapies. Energy therapy is defined as one that focuses on energy fields within the body and electromagnetic fields, which focus on fields outside of the body. Reiki is a Japanese word that is a combination of two characters (Rei) meaning universal and (Ki) meaning life-force energy. Reiki is an ancient healing art involving the gentle laying on of hands, well suited for nurses who provide hands-on care for patients in so many different ways.


Philosophy of Care
As in nursing, Reiki therapy is one of practicing the art of presence and compassion. Reiki is not a religion but a philosophy of care that is described by the following principles taught to Reiki practitioners.
* Relate to patients’ core or essence, not personality.
* Listen without judging patients’ actions.
* Be willing not to know or understand the “why’s” associated with patients’ presentation.
* Let go of viewing patient’s responses following Reiki treatment as the practitioner’s personal achievement (Rand, 1998).
Nurses often recognise the importance of entering and leaving another’s “space” or energy field and the impact that the presence of one person can have on another. They understand the pattern of patients’ energy and use as they care for patients and are licensed to provide treatments that often involve touching patients as a part of the care they provide. In doing so, nurses witness the effects of changes that occur in a patient’s energy field during routine nursing care, such as hanging an IV medication, taking a pulse, or teaching about self-care. Reiki practice takes these ideas a step further by acknowledging and working with the vital energy (ki) that patients and nurses possess and merging it with the universal healing energy (rei) through a specific intention of assisting the healing process.


Reiki Treatment
The serious study and use of subtle energy in nursing and other disciplines is receiving increased attention in the literature and in clinical practice (Engebretson, 1998). For example, the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine hosts leading scientists for an annual meeting to discuss and disseminate research findings about energy medicine. Reiki, a type of energy healing, assists nurses in working with the body’s energy to achieve or restore a state of greater balance and harmony. Mikai Usui, a teacher from Japan, developed specific treatment procedures in 1920 after he studied and meditated about healing practices (Lambert, 2000; Petter, 1997; Usui & Petter, 2003). Trained practitioners use a light touch, placing hands in a systematic way to connect the universal life-force energy with a person’s own innate power to heal. Reiki is performed with the recipient fully clothed and either lying down or sitting in a chair. A full treatment may be as long (or as short) as needed; however, it usually lasts 45-90 minutes. A full treatment generally consists of placing the hands in 12 positions on the head and front and back of the torso, and some practitioners also add the knees and feet. The recipient can be awake, asleep, or even unconscious when receiving a treatment. During Reiki treatments, Reiki energy is made available to assist in the body’s efforts to reach a greater equilibrium (Miles & True, 2003). Generally, Reiki is accepted as low risk, and contraindictions and adverse events have not been reported (Miles & True). Recipients report a variety of individual responses to their experiences of Reiki energy, which are included in this article.
Learning to Be a Reiki Practitioner
Anyone can learn to become a Reiki practitioner through a process that combines new knowledge, practice with the form, and understanding of a Reiki session and a series of attunements or initiations that enhance the flow of Reiki energy within a practitioner, administered by a Reiki master or teacher. The process often produces a positive shift in the self-image of the emerging practitioner.Training is divided into three levels (I, II, and III). Initiation to each level celebrates the beginning of study, not the attainment of all necessary learning (Miles, 2003). The training for Reiki level I is a combination of didactic and clinical experience that focuses on the physical process of hand positions used by the practitioner for the delivery of the gentle Reiki energy. Reiki level II adds emotional and spiritual healing attunements with the use of specific symbols that allow the practitioner to offer long-distance Reiki. Reiki level II training increases the practitioner’s ability to listen to her or his own inner voice or intuition. Although some teachers will combine levels I and II together in a weekend workshop, the authors require students to practice doing self-treatments and treatments of others for a period of three to six months before moving from level I to level II training. The third level of Reiki training prepares the practitioner as a master and then as a teacher, usually by having the practitioner work closely with a master practitioner over time (Lubeck, Petter, & Rand, 2001; Miles, 2006). Continuing education is recommended for all practitioners in the form of Reiki sharing or Reiki practice groups. At the authors’ institutions, this involves a combination of giving and receiving treatments as well as opportunities to discuss research with a mentor and colleagues.

Hindu Astrological Predictions

Hindu Astrological Predictions by James Gunaseelan

For thousands of years the Hindus in India were using the planets and stars to predict the future and confirm the past. The Hindu astrology defines the characteristics of a person depending on the place and the time of birth. The place and time of birth corresponds to a start and each star has its own distinct characteristics.

Some of the planets are thought to be good for people and some are thought to be bad for person’s life. If a person’s horoscope has a strong influence of the planet Saturn at any point in life, the person goes through lot of sufferings. As per the Hindu Vedas the life is full of joy and sorrows. One can not have life full of joy or full of sorrow. There are many remedies given to soothe the sufferings when a person goes through bad planetary positions.

Here are the categories of Hindu horoscopes.

Mesha
Vrishaba
Miduna
Kataka
Simha
Kanya
Tula
Vrischika
Dhanus
Makara
Kumba
Meena

The terms Aries,Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn , Aquarius and Pisces are used ONLY to denote their corresponding equivalents in Vedic Astrology. Any extension of them would lead to misinterpretation of the predictions . Predictions are on the basis of the birth stars and not on the English date of birth.

The hindu vedas gives many things one can do to prevent bad period in life. These are called Pariharams and are usually done in any temple. Some of the famous temples for doing pariharams are Tirupathi, Tiruchendur, Tanjore Siva Temple, Varanasi, Bath in the holy Ganges, Puttabarthi, Sai Baba temple, Palani, Kalahasthi, Thirunallar, Panjavadi, Guruvayur, Kumbakonam, Thiruvarur, Nagarcoil, temples in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh etc.

Many pariharams also talk about specific Gods like Krishna, Ganesha, Karthikeya, Siva, Vishnu, Kali, Linga.

Usually astrological predictions are done for a monthly or yearly period.
