It really is wonderful and I just want to share Reiki with whoever wants to enjoy this beautiful, positive energy.”
Reiki Healing
This is so exciting! I have gotten Reiki for my migraine headaches, and they are completely gone. I tried everything before that. I tried all different types of medication, I tried different diet modifications, I tried different types of relaxation techniques, but Reiki works everytime. I am so glad that we have a Reiki healer in Northfield!
Wow.
Anxiety Disorder
I have an anxiety disorder and have had such a terrible time trying to get help for it. The medication is so expensive and counselling is really hard to pay for. Does Reiki help with mental problems? What would I need to do? Is it expensive?
Hi Igal, good to see you are
Hi Igal, good to see you are taking the power of Reiki to the people. In my experience, Reiki is a healing process and takes time to manifest into a realisation of the true meaning of healing for the individual.
Dear Jasmine, if you suffer from anxiety then you are suffering from painful memories which have caused you the anxiety. I will try to explain this to you and I hope you take it on board and it helps you. You are made up of three states, the BODY (made up of matter and energy), the EGO (made up of intellect and mind) and finally the spirit and the soul.
Your anxiety is caused within the second level, the EGO. The ego is where you have based your memories (the mind and intelect). These memories are caused by previous experiences you have had personally.
Think about it, if you have had a car accident previously, you will have the memories of the car crash and that will cause the fear (anxiety) of it happening again and will tak time for you to feel comfortable once again behind a wheel. Or, if your home is burgled, it takes time to feel comfortable again in your home as the painful memory does not allow you to relax. If I have not picked a topic to demonstarte this clearly to you, then choose your own memory and see how they make you feel and have affected you.
Life moves between pleasure and pain, and if we do not confront the pain or witness it, or we do not release it, or we do not understand it, or we do not accept it and we lock it up in our body, then that remebered pain manifests later as anger, as hostility and that remebered pain can be anticipated in the future as anxiety and fear.
THat same pain when it is directed back into your own self then it is experienced as guilt, and all that depletion of energy that occurs with all these things is depression, anger, and hostility and fear and anticipation of miss fortune are all problems that rise when we do not get in touch with our selves.
Surrender to the pain that you are having.
Life moves between two banks of the river, pain and pleasure, the problem is when we get stuck on either bank.
My advice to you is address your memories, address the good and the bad. Do not just focus on the good memories. Take time to sit silently in a room where you can relax, light a candle, or make the lighting dim, or put on some soft music, or all of them at the same time. Anything to help you relax. Then as you are sitting (not lying down, or standing) just take the time to relax and witness your memories, witness you anxiety, see how it makes you feel and address it / them.
If you do not let something out it will stay within you and become a negative energy, such as anger, fear or anxiety.
I hope this will helps you.
God bless.
Dear Jasmine, Anxiety
Dear Jasmine,
Anxiety disorders are one of the issues for which Reiki is really excellent! When a person recieves a Reiki treatment they enjoy a relaxed, and peaceful state that stays with them for days. Reiki also helps people let go of any stress and anxiety that they've been holding on to, enabling them to concentrate more on the things that they mean to take care off.
Reiki is meant to be for everyone, and that includes cost. It is very affordable, and many Reiki practitioners (including myself) have a sliding scale to accomodate anyone who is going through a rough financial time. I also do free first sessions at the Monarch gift shop on Thursdays.
I wish you well and best of luck in dealing with your anxiety disorders, Jasmine.
Reiki
So where does one get this reiki power from? Where do you find this energy and how do you lose it? I am not sure I understand how it works. Is it religious? Is it invasive? Is it real? And where can I go to learn more about it?
All these new age things confuse me but I am very curious.
Hello Luriel, Those are
Hello Luriel,
Those are very good questions! I will be happy to try and answer to the best of my knowledge. I don't know if you are a believer in God, or in some greater power out there, but I believe in God and I believe that Reiki energy comes from God. It is a purely positive energy that when channeled can bring much good and healing to people. This makes it spiritual in nature, but it is not religious. One does not have to convert their faith or even believe in the energy for it to work, only be open to it. Reiki is for everyone. It is not an invasive energy and will not go where it is not wanted. But if the person is ready for healing and is open to healing it would surely work for them. I have personally seen Reiki help people with both physical pains, emotional pains, and more. That being said, Reiki is no substitute to standard medicine. It does, however, complement it.
If you would like to learn more, there are some great books out there about Reiki. One I personally recommend is called 'The Everything Reiki Book'. I am also holding a free seminar next week in Northfield at the Monarch Gift Shop where I will be answering these exact same questions in-depth. You are more than welcome to attend, Luriel!

Many blessings!
