How can letting go help us heal?

 

 

We have good and bad, right and wrong, happy and sad, and love and hate to just name a few. When you welcome both sides of any of these pairs, as opposed to clinging to one and resisting the other, you find that they both dissolve leaving you with the empty space that allows for all experiencing. We call this way of releasing Holistic release.

 

It is up to us to cast off old habits and patterns in our life and to accept healing and change. It is very important for everyone to "think positively".


Sometimes people have unreasonable expectations of the way healing takes place. It does not often bring an instant cure of any condition, so change is emanate. It is important to understand, that "healing" is not always the same as "curing". Once again our mindset (positive) makes a considerable difference in the outcome of what may happen. Illness is usually a message from our body, take notice; something is not right in our lives. Are we going in the right direction? Do we need to learn something? Forgive someone? Bring more joy into our lives? Release old memories? Make a healthy life change? Love ourselves more? Ultimately if we want healing to be permanent we must take responsibility for healing the cause... Allowing you to let go of negative thoughts and attitudes. New thought can bring about greater self-awareness and your capacity to love yourself and others and can connect you with the Divine. You can transform your life in many new ways. 

 

 

2. What are Reiki attunements and why are they necessary in Reiki?  Mike .A

 

The Reiki attunement is a powerful healing and spiritual experience. You may be initiated individually or in a group setting depending on the courses offered. Reiki attunements open up the energy path ways so that more life force energy can flow through the body. Some people may have mystical experiences, healing, visions, colors and body sensations, some feel nothing at all. Attunements may increase ones psychic ability. Everyone's Reiki attunement is unique. Once attuned to the energy, you can never lose it; it's with you for life. It must be understood that each person is at different places in their spiritual path when doing an attunement and will receive from the attunement what they are capable of receiving at the time. Many people, because of the negativity in their lives, stressful living, unhealthy foods, chemicals in the atmosphere, have a fairly low energy vibrational level. They may feel little during the attunement or Reiki treatment and will have to work to develop their awareness of the healing energy. The Reiki Attunement raises our vibrational level within the body to that of the energy added during the attunement.  However, our bodies have to adjust to this higher vibration and some people may have a temporary/mild physical or emotional reaction and go through a cleansing process. Reiki is very easy to learn, it is not a knowledge based system. It is taught by someone who has their Master Teacher level. There are 3 levels that must be taken in sequence. You usually are provided with a manual for each level, an attunement(s), a certificate, instruction and support. You may take Reiki either distantly or in-person. The focus should be on working with the healing energy and not on attaining levels. Reiki Courses are taught in a variety of ways, prices depending on how a Reiki Master has been taught, their personal beliefs. Students often report significant and profound shifts in awareness and understanding during and after a course. Reiki healing is also fast becoming accepted in mainstream healthcare settings such as hospitals, hospice, operating and recovery rooms, nursing homes and many other institutions helping to demystify its effects and adding a much needed boost to the spiritual healing of the planet. I am a big advocate of getting Reiki into hospitals. It can speed up the healing process and bring great comfort to those seeking aid.

A lot of us pay a lot of attention to what we eat. We count our calories, limit fatty foods, and reduce our intake of sugar and salt. And we make an effort to eat the not-so-good-for-us-foods in moderation. We may love French fries but we all know the consequences if that were all we ate for a week.
It's the same with our emotions. Just like the foods we eat, some are more nutritious than others.
Do you live on a regular diet of stressful emotions? Do you worry a lot or get down on yourself all the time or feel anxious about something every day? A steady diet made up of these kinds of emotions can be harmful to your mental and physical health as well as the overall quality of your life. We're not advocating repressing 'negative' emotions or never feeling sad or frustrated. But we do know that positive emotions, like appreciation, care and kindness, are more beneficial in the long run.
So, if you're ready to improve your emotional diet, here are a few tips:

  1. Curb your intake of negative emotions. Next time you feel yourself feeling sad, mad or frustrated, take a deep breath and remember a positive or fun time in your life and attempt to re-experience it.

  2. Don't wait until you're starving to grab a snack. Shift to a positive emotion any time, any place; not just when you feel stressed.

  3. Stuff yourself on positive emotions. Celebrate all that you value and appreciate all that's good in your life every day.

Bon appétit!
