Reiki uses the premise that the physical body is kept alive because of the life energy force that flows in it. Reiki healing is centered to breaking down the negative energy and blockages in the path of the chakras. With modern society’s propensity to stress and pressure, it is a must to heal the self everyday and thereby bring healing to the world around us also.What about Reiki healing? Reiki takes its root in the Japanese tradition. It is a method of healing that is guided by the “God-directed energy”. The working principle is the belief that what keeps the physical body alive and functioning is the built-in life force energy. This life force energy is the reason for the functioning of the cells, organs— and ultimately the entire physical body. Thus, it is responsible for the healthy level of human functioning.How is spiritual healing possible? Reiki healing may be performed by any Reiki master or practitioner. They know certain hand positions that directly points to several centers of energy we call chakras. The healing begins when the practitioner puts his/her hands on the body. The positive energy comes flowing through the channel of healing, i.e., the Reiki master. Now, this life force energy is said to have a mind of its own. This means that it goes to the part of the body where healing is exactly needed. The constant flow of positive energy is essential to the normal functioning of beings. The disruption in the natural and healthy flow of chakras happens when we begin to harbor negative thoughts and emotions. The negative thoughts and emotions attach themselves to the channels of our energy centers or what we call chakras. This creates blockages and weakens the supply of our life force energy.The effect of Reiki is to heal the disrupted parts of the body by countering them with positive energy. Energy healing means that the positive energy is charged on the areas where the negative energy thrives. Since there is an increased vibration in the “infected” energy field, the negativities and blockages break down. The channels of chakras are now cleared and cleaned up. The normal functioning of the physical body is back to its natural and healthy performance.In order to maintain a healthy flow of energy in the chakras, one must be clear on what things are to be avoided and what things can be furthered nurtured and developed. One must be conscious on the kinds of thoughts that we harbor and nurture. What you think is often what you feel and say. You have to keep yourself attuned with positive thoughts instead of negative thoughts. This brings you positive and healthy results to your body and mind.In fact, some of the benefits of energy healing are: Assuring natural and healthy flow energy in your chakras. Clearing and cleaning the blockages in your energy channels support a constant flow of positive energy in your system. Increasing your life force reserves. Keeps you up with daily functioning and leads you to a total wellness. With the everyday struggle and stress, one needs to make sure that his/her wellness is not compromised. One can actually direct a constant flow of energy healing to oneself.

End Depression, Anxiety and Other Mood Disorders and Insomnia through Reiki, Visualization, Meditation, Spiritualty and Positive Thinking
By Michael E. Goldberg
Author: End of Mood Disorders and The Road to Happiness
Depression, anxiety and other mood disorders are at epidemic levels in the United States. So is insomnia. The good news is that you can end the devastation of these illnesses when you heal and cleanse your energy healing. Through energy healing, you will ultimately improve your brain chemistry and achieve peace of mind and an internal sense of well being, joy and balance. If one’s energy body is not clean, intact and vibrant, no medicine will heal your depression, anxiety and other mood disorders or insomnia. It will stabilize your symptoms (and that is important), but it will not be enough to heal you. You must do the work with Reiki and energy healers to release stored negative energy from traumas and stress and become a positive thinker filled with peace and joy. You must do the work to learn to establish boundaries, build self love, self confidence and self esteem and stop generating negative energy through negative beliefs, thoughts, acts and speech. To be mentally and physically healthy, your aura, chakras and meridians must be free of negative energy. Chi energy (the energy of life) must flow freely through your energy body without blockage from negative energy. This takes work. This can only be achieved through a combination of Reiki and other types of energy healing and ongoing spirituality, positive thinking, positive beliefs, positive speech and positive acts, not intentionally harming or deceiving others. self-love and a positive mind-set. As a Reiki master and life coach, I have focused on healing depression, anxiety and other mood disorders and insomnia with energy healing and techniques designed to protect one’s energy body. These techniques include visualization, meditation, establishing and maintaining boundaries, handling stress factors in a positive way, avoiding negative and toxic people and mind control. These techniques enable people to be fully engaged in each precious moment of life with full presence, participation and joy. These techniques enable people to rid themselves of painful and negative memories and rid themselves of stored anger and hate. They teach people to consciously identify and stop negative thoughts and rid energy attachment to negative and toxic people. I have taught people how to generate high vibration positive energy through meditation and visualization techniques. This high vibration positive energy shakes off, burns off and repels low vibration negative energy. I have taught people how to establish reasonable boundaries and change their mindset from negative to positive. I the end, we all must love ourselves first and foremost. This requires us to make our own peace of mind, peace of spirit and joy for life our number one priority.
Mood disorders are a problem of brain chemistry. But the problem of brain chemistry is caused by energy starvation and blockage. Chi is not able to be freely drawn in and distributed through one’s energy body because it is blocked and drained by negative energy. A person’s energy body is drained and blocked by negative and toxic people and negative energy primarily generated from our own negative thoughts, acts and speech and our own negative and impulsive reaction to stress factors. Negative energy is also generated by a poor self image. Visualization and meditation techniques along with positive affirmations must be used to build up a person’s self-love, self confidence and self esteem. These techniques must also be used to rid oneself of guilt and shame. Everyone has an energy body and a physical body. Our energy body is invisible to most. It animates our physical body and gives our physical body life. Some call the energy body our spirit. Our energy body is attached to our physical body. It includes an aura that surrounds us and protects us from negative energy (negative energy is low vibration energy that is the primary cause of illness), as well as chakras (spinning energy axles with energy wheels on both ends that go through our energy bodies) and meridians (energy channels that are the energy equivalent to veins and arteries). A good mental and emotional state requires a clean, vibrant and healthy energy body, free of negative energy blockages and energy attachments. Good mental health requires the positive interaction of brain chemistry and life force energy. These energies must interact properly for a person to be balanced and free of depression, anxiety and other mood disorders and insomnia. What goes on in our minds not only reflects brain chemistry, it also reflects the health of our energy bodies and the ability of our energy bodies to easily and automatically draw in and distribute life force energy for our use and for our health.
Life force energy is otherwise known as chi energy. It is abundantly available to us in the Universe to bring us life and good health. So long as our energy body is not blocked and damaged by negative energy. Chi energy bolsters our immune system and ensures that our physical body is functioning properly. It reverses the damage to brain chemistry done by stress, trauma and negative energy. Unfortunately, in many cases our energy bodies are broken, cracked and blocked by negative energy and drained by negative energy and negative and toxic people. As a result, our energy bodies cannot properly draw in and distribute chi (life force energy) for healing. The end result of a dysfunctional energy body is mental and physical illness. When one’s energy body is damaged and blocked by negative energy, chi energy cannot flow through it properly to support one’s health. Brain chemistry is damaged. The negative energy that blocks and invades one’s energy body is often caused by our own negative thoughts, emotions, acts and speech and our negative reaction to stress factors. Negative emotions include anger, fear, jealousy, etc. These emotions cause us to experience stress, primarily by our reaction to external and painful events and our ongoing obsessive and ruminating thoughts about that which is painful and negative. Negative energy is also caused by a fight or flight mentality and fight or flight home or work environments. Stress will damage your energy body and drain your energy. So, it is critical (in fighting depression, anxiety and other mood disorders and insomnia) to avoid stressful home and work environments and negative and toxic people who cause you stress. It is also important to prevent yourself from reacting negatively to stressful situations and provocations and setting boundaries. It is important to make your own happiness and peace of mind and spirit your number one priority in life that comes before all else. All this takes the training. In addition the energy body can be damaged and vital life force energy drained from negative and toxic people.
The good news is your brain chemistry can be normalized once your energy body is cleansed and healed and made vibrant and intact. Reiki practitioners and other energy healers can repair one’s energy body and extract negative energy from it and remove energy attachments from it. Energy attachments, a damaged energy body and attached and embedded negative energy in one’s energy body cause obsessive thoughts, ruminations and negative thoughts and emotions that drain your energy. But, they can be easily removed and extracted and your energy body healed. This can all be easily done through Reiki, and energy vibration healing (such as Emotional Freedom Techniques and Shamanic healing and crystal healing). Once the energy body is repaired and cleansed, you need to defend and protect your energy and stop burning energy needlessly with negative thoughts and emotions. You need to learn. positive thinking techniques to stop spinning and running thoughts, obsessive thoughts and ruminations (all of which burn and deplete your energy). You need to use visualization techniques to detach from painful memories (these attachments cause obsessive and ongoing negative thoughts and emotions that drain and deplete one’s life force energy) and meditation and prayer techniques to balance and pacify your mind and spirit. You also need to learn how to build and maintain boundaries and avoid negative and toxic people. In addition, you need to learn how to be fully present in each precious moment in life (and stop thinking about the future or the past while the precious moments slip away). You begin to really see and appreciate life all around you and your connection to life. You will spend more time in nature and in meditating in nature or on visualizations of nature. You will move into your heart chakra and find your connection to the divine in your heart chakra. You will begin to live there by shifting your consciousness there and out of your head – the seat of thoughts and ego, but not life and love. .Through visualization, you will learn to move divine high vibrations (as visualized white light) from your heart and through and around your entire body as you visualize that you are a divine being pf pure white light inside and out.. Daily meditation, prayer and visualization from your heart chakra are essential to feeling the high vibrations of chi, love, peace and happiness. You are a divine being of pure white light attached to a physical body. As you spend more time in meditation and your heart chakra, you will begin to understand that you are a divine and eternal being of light and love. Once you feel the high vibration of your divine nature in your heart chakra, you will understand that you are divine beings of pure white light. Affirm to yourself that you are a divine being of white light, so happy to be alive. Affirm to yourself that you are happy, peaceful and serene and so thankful for your life and its many blessings. Affirm to yourself how fortunate you are to be alive and that you love, respect, accept and forgive yourself. Through visualization, let go of guilt and shame. Let go and forgive. Make a conscious effort to be positive in your thoughts and speech. Get rid of words like “fear, worry and hate because they program your beliefs in a negative way. Make a conscious effort to hold your tongue, listen and be patient. See yourself as an amazing miracle of creation and a part of the miracle of life and nature. Smile. Let go of negativity and see the world and your life as infused with infinite possibilities and a short and wonderful miracle. As you fully connect with your pure, loving and holy higher self and your fun loving and happy inner child, you will love life and easily and automatically draw and process chi for your health and happiness.
Close your eyes and relax and breathe deeply in and out and smile. Breathe in visualized white light as unconditional love and breathe out as visualized black smoke all fear, anxiety, anger and negativity. Let go of the negative and just relax. Shift your consciousness into your heart from your head. Visualize yourself as a divine being of blazing white light. Smile as you connect with this loving and happy being of blazing white light from your heart. Then integrate this being into you through visualization and become this being. Shift your consciousness from your head to your heart. Put your hand over your heart and close your eyes. Visualize that your heart center is a blazing sun of pure white light. Now push out the white light from your heart center and fill up your head and body and legs and arms. Push out the white light all around your body about 6 inches to a foot. See that white light as your blazing high vibration aura. Fill your self up with visualized white light through your deep breathing and visualization. Feel the white light in and around you vibrate all negativity out of you Keep your eyes closed and take deep breaths – breathe in visualized white light and breathe out visualized black smoke (breathe out all fear, anger and negativity).Let it go. Let all negativity go. Stop thinking, and just be, just exist in the moment. Calmly remain in your heart chakra, the center of your being and your connection to your eternal soul. Remember to thank the Creator each day for life and stay in the white light. Go back to white light visualization and breathing whenever you are afraid. Close your eyes and relax. Thank and pray to the Creator daily. Whenever you are afraid, worried or anxious or agitated, go to large bodies of water in reality or through visualization and take in and breathe in that beautiful blue water. See yourself floating in the middle of a calm ocean on a cloudless day – the light blue of the sky meets the light blue of the water. Float peacefully on that water in your mind. Close your eyes and relax. Alternatively, close your eyes, breathe deeply and smile whenever you get afraid!! Our lives are wonderful, short and temporary miracles. But, you are an eternal being of pure white light. You are truly loved by angelic beings and the Creator. Nothing can hurt you. So, don’t be afraid. Change your beliefs from negative to positive, from rigid and finite to open and infinite and your thoughts will follow. Positive affirmations, prayer and meditation will help. Learn to be conscious of your thoughts and speech and stop negative thoughts and speech. Stop judgmental thoughts and speech and stop ongoing ruminating thoughts about people and negative things they did to you. Let go and detach from these things thriough visulization and mind control.

Crystal & Gemstone Healing – Does it Work?
Sunday, December 13th, 2009I’m often asked about Crystals and Gemstones and have recently updated my free eBook on the subject. I’m actually quite surprised at how popular the topic is!
Having said that, I haven’t actually included a section specifically for animals and pets so I hope this article helps to answer some of those questions, you may have.
It’s extremely important to be relaxed and grounded when using crystals to heal animals. My own Weimaraner became ill fairly recently and I successfully used a combination of Crystal Healing and Reiki to ease his obvious discomfort. Of course, we took him to see a vet just to be sure he wasn’t suffering from anything too serious and I would recommend you do the same. (In my opinion, crystal therapy is a complimentary therapy not an alternative therapy)
I initially placed some Amethyst and Rose Quartz under his bed so I could see his reaction to the crystals. He actually curled up, looking very sorry for himself, and had a very long, deep sleep.
I’d also charged a large Amethyst and placed in his water bowl and after a few nudges with his nose he finished off the whole bowl which was very good news as he’d been drinking very little.
Anyone who knows Weimaraners also knows that they are not the type to sit still for long and are extremely inquisitive. However, Smokey Blue was feeling so poorly that he was happy to lie still while I gently circled (anti-clockwise) a tumbled Rose Quartz over his tummy. Why anti-clockwise? I was hoping to remove any nasty bugs that were lurking and often use an anti-clockwise movement before moving on to positive clockwise energy.
At one point, he re-positioned himself so his head was in my lap and I took that as a sign to start the clockwise movement. I put the Rose Quartz to one side and gently used clockwise movements, with a tumbled Amethyst, to increase the positive energy flow to his tummy area. By now he was relaxed enough to fall asleep and I took the opportunity to give some Reiki healing as well.
He wasn’t immediately well but after another night, sleeping with the Crystals, he’d perked up by the morning and was almost back to his old self. By lunch time, we all knew he was definitely back to his old self!
Smokey Blue continues to sleep with Rose Quartz and Amethyst under his bed and, I’m extremely pleased to report, he hasn’t been ill since.
Remember – Clear Quartz is a Master Crystal that can be used in place of others if they’re not available.
Reiki – the Re-discovered Art
Monday, December 7th, 2009Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness, that most frightens us…..
Nelson Mandela
1994 Inaugural Speech
A Japanese system of natural healing called Reiki is based on channeling healing energy through the hands. This healing art was lost for centuries but was rediscovered by Dr Usui in the early 1900’s in Japan. Reiki is a special kind of healing energy that has its own consciousness. The practitioner does not guide Reiki energy.
This healing energy guides itself by communicating with the clients higher self and goes naturally to where the client needs healing.
When a practitioner of Reiki, is doing a healing they sometimes feel heat or cold or tingling in the hands when the hands pass over an area that needs to be healed. The Reiki energy will automatically go where the healing needs to be done.
A Reiki Practitioner does not need to learn how to do Reiki as you would learn other healing techniques. Reiki is simply passed on to the student through a Reiki Master. This is called an attunement. The Reiki master uses different symbols to pass on for different levels of Reiki. There are 3 levels of Reiki and the Master Level.
It is a very simple and easy process. The student can immediately start giving Reiki treatments. To start giving the treatments the Reiki Practitioner draws the symbols for what level they are at, in the palms of the hands to activate the healing energy. Your intentions alone can activate the energy itself to do a healing. The Practitioner
is shown where to place the hands on the person to be healed. Then the healing Begins. When you are healing with energy time and space are irrelevant. Therefore Reiki Healing can also be sent at a distance. This is called long distant healing.
In 1938 Mrs Takata brought Reiki to the western world. After the second world war Mrs Takata was the only practicing Reiki Master in the world.
She was the only teacher to be taught from and she was very rigid in her teaching trying to keep the tradition going. Some students became more concerned in keeping the tradition they ignored there own intuition and inner knowledge.
In 1970 to become a master she would charge a fee of $10,000 dollars for the Master Level training. This would discourage many would be teachers. She discouraged students to expand their many different levels of guidance. Her way would be the only way.
Eventually Reiki lost some of it vitality for each teacher passed on a little less than the time before. As time went on and more teachers were trained the price to become a master went down. The nature of the Reiki energy began to heal its own expression. Deeper aspects of healing began to surface. Reiki was found to heal deeper and deeper.
Students were being allowed to branch off and listen to their own guidance and healing techniques. They began experimenting, adding knowledge and talking and exchanging information with others.
By doing this depth was added to their understanding and they developed their own style, improving the effectiveness of their own healing abilities.
Because people have opened up Reiki has been able to evolve, develop and grow.
Reiki heals and guides all those who practice it. To choose a teacher you want to pass the attunements on to you use your own guidance and be aware of what this persons energy feels like to you, Then decide.
