Intense Reiki - How to increase the power of your Reiki Healing
|
Self-healing and Meditation,
When you take Reiki 1 the importance of doing self-healing for 21 days is emphasised as the Reiki flows through each of the chakras in turn for 3 weeks. However, some people seem to think that after the 21 days, there is no need for this. Perhaps if you are doing Reiki treatments every day, you may be fine but even now I still value my own self healing session nearly every day. Without it my vibrations lower and it is less easy to maintain a calm, peaceful attitude if there are any problems through the day.
In the same way, Reiki creates the brain chemicals that make us feel peaceful and content. The more we use it more the neural pathways connect throughout the brain to keep us that way. Of course it's not just the brain or mind, which is affected. As we move our hands over the body, then the energy of Reiki flows through to the cellular level, increasing the ability of the cell to self heal, renew and rejuvenate. It also flows into mental/emotional and spiritual levels to bring change to all layers. As we heal each layer another is revealed, just like pealing the layers of an onion. If you find self-healing boring, then try my Self Healing & Meditation Reiki CD. Whenever we go into meditation or give ourselves Reiki, our brain state changes from the normal Beta state at 14-28 cycles per second to the Alpha state at 7-14 cycles per second. It seems strange that as our brain waves lower, we achieve higher states of consciousness. In this state of mind, we may be more alert even though very relaxed. In fact the first stage of meditation is relaxation. Simply sit or lie down in a comfortable state just enjoying the feeling of relaxation. The next step is contemplation. Just allow thoughts to pass through your mind without bothering too much about them. When you take it in stages, then there is no anger and frustration with yourself. The third step is nothingness and it may seem contradictory but this is a wonderful state of bliss. You may find yourself thinking, "this is great, I'm doing it now" but of course you are not because you are still thinking. Eventually you might find yourself catching thoughts as they come through, then you are nearly there. Guided meditations are a good way to enter into a meditative state and deeply relax. If you think about a wonderful holiday you had, you might find yourself drifting already into a dreamy state. When you bring colours into the meditation, they start to work on the chakras and raise your consciousness. The physical effects of meditation are well documented- lower blood pressure, deep physical relaxation and many beneficial effects. The spiritual benefits are a sense of connection with God (or whatever you call the Source of All), a connection to all life, a deep sense of peace and the development of psychic abilities. In meditation or when using Reiki many healers experience the spirit guides or Angels or receive messages from them. If you don't then it could be that you are afraid to see because of what happened in a past life. See the section on blockages. Try this meditation: relax your whole body and release any tension anywhere you find it. Imagine that you have roots going down deep into the Earth to keep you grounded. Then imagine a copper light shining above your head flowing down into your head, neck, arms, body etc until it fills you. You are a chalice overflowing with liquid copper. Now see a silver light above you. This silver flows into you replacing the copper in every part of your body. Silver shines out from your centre radiating out into the aura. Now look above and see a wonderful golden energy raining down on you like a shower. It fills every part of you, charging you with high energy, with dynamic power. Again it fills you until it overflows into the aura, out into the world and into the Earth. Notice how you feel and allow yourself just to be.
