Chakra Balancing
This post will focus on techniques to calm, quieten, balance, and connect energies between two chakras with your hands. There are major vortexes of energy in seven places in your bodies. These areas have hundreds to thousands of other meridians flowing in and out with blood and nutrients and chi. Prolonged experiences of heightened emotional states damage these areas and can cause them to become overactive, blocked, or a distorted shape.
When you first begin, it is important to quieten your mind and body so you can begin to feel emotions and energy run through each chakra point. You may experience different emotions in each area as you place your hands on your skin, and begin to focus on the energy that is present there. Some people will instantly feel a buildup of emotion, some people may feel nothing, indicating weakness or blockage (so much emotion you can't even begin to feel it all at once, which is causing your block). To help release this energy, the key is to feel it in your body, buzzing and vibrating, your hands can help this along the way.
The key to an awakening on any level is working through all the emotions that hide in your body, feeling them with absolutely no judgement, memories of the past, or attachments to the future present. There may be heavy pain present in your body, this can come from past lives, inherited pain from your parents, and accumulated pain that you have adsorbed from others in your life. Some people are born with heavier pain than others, some adsorb it much easier than others. Either way, the more pain you have to feel, the more presence you will develop, if you decide to let go of all the reasons and thought forms and beliefs you have attached to that pain.
I experienced my own awakening through this method of sitting and cradling my chakras, focusing deeply on the aliveness within my body, until one day I felt an explosion of emotion and energy running from the tips of my toes to crown of my head. It hasn't always been easy, some days I go through incredible pain, but this is part of the process. The more I experience, the easier my heart opens and smiles with compassion for life on this planet.
To open up clear communication in your chakras, is to evolve in all ways. All it takes to connect up your chakras is to place your right hand on one chakra and the left hand on the other. It takes about three minutes for the energies to connect. Its usually best to start at the base and work up. You will start to learn when the chakras are connected because your fingers will bring it to your awareness through an electric tingling sensation beginning in your hands.
CRADLE YOUR CHAKRAS
Sometimes, repressed emotion needs to be coaxed to release itself. There are different ways this energy can be coaxed up, but if you are a shy person, the energy needs to feel supported by you! If you have a lover, they might be able to pull this out of you. Certain friends in peoples lives will support the release of your energy and creativity, but at the end of the day your consciousness and awareness is enough to bring up this energy. Cradle your chakra, hold it, shhhh it, if you are experiencing the negative manifestation of energy within. At the end of the day, if your chakra is grumpy, you are grumpy. The most common reason for a grumpy energy centre, is because it feels it's unable to express and experience some kind of emotion. Dancing and singing can help you with this as well.
CONNECTING YOUR BASE + SACRAL
+
Your Sacral is where you experience your sexuality, creativity and connection to others. For this chakra to fully flower it is imperative that it receives information that flows up from the base, which is the message of security, connection to your environment, manifestation, and a sense of calm that comes from feeling at home wherever you go.
CONNECTING YOUR SACRAL + SOLAR
+
Your
Solar is where your confidence, power, and energy grows, it is important that the Solar feels supported by the ground, that it understands you have the power to choose your how you perceive your emotions and reality. It's desire and motivation to create must be fueled from your sacral. Your Sacral must be happy and free of negativity, resentment, and guilt, in relation to other people in your life so the Solar doesn't develop immature ways of trying to increase your power in the world, or worse, develop unhealthy low-self esteem and victim complexes.
CONNECTING YOUR SOLAR + HEART
+
Connection of Solar Plexus to the Heart, will allow your heart to open up and show more love for others with confidence and self-love. This can be achieved without losing your power or giving away your energies to the others.
ESTABLISHING A CREATIVE THROAT
+
+
+
To establish a clear creative voice, it is imperative to make sure the creative energies of your Sacral Chakra can move and flow easily unhindered up to the Solar, Heart, then Throat. Feeling love for others, and yourself, will stimulate the perfect balance of hearing and understanding when it comes to the truth of others, while still desiring to speak and spread your own truth.
DEVELOP HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS, AND UNIVERSAL CREATIVITY
If your lower chakras have evolved correctly through the course of your life, your upper chakras will begin to unfold. It is imperative that your lower chakras are first intelligent enough to support the unfolding of conciousness within you. Visions from the third eye can cause paranoia, and symptoms similar to schizophrenia if the the lower chakras aren't communicating properly with it. It is great to have all the wisdom and seeing of the universe, but if you aren't grounded, confident, and able to enjoy the present moment on earth with love, you will never be able to see your visions manifested into the physical realm.

The Energetic Era
When I express that the nature of medicine I like to work with is energy medicine, I am consistently asked the same question. What is energy medicine, how do I manipulate it for the better, and how can one come to know the nature of their own energy better?
Looking around us, and utilizing the knowledge that science has so far provided us, we know that we are all made up of atoms, in fact everything is, but that these atoms are actually mostly free space, 99 percent in fact. So how are we all sticking together? What makes us vibrate as solid manifestations of energy? Attraction, of course.
We are now entering an energetic era, this grows increasingly noticeable with each new sun that rises. We can now communicate with one another by thought. We can think of someone, and send them that communication in the form of energy within seconds to the their device. This is true for worldwide news and worldwide creativity and kindness as well.
As western medicine takes over our lives with prescriptions to try and mimic the feelings that should all come naturally to us anyway, we can all begin to understand the negative emotions we feel, and fast paced, almost careless way in which we live our lives. This needs change, and most certainly impacts our health. It is the energy and emotion you feel when experiencing a frustrating moment that may cause you to act in a way you wouldn't have previously. Build this up over a lifetime, you have organs filled with the negative energy of blocked emotional responses, incapable of performing their proper functions, and relying on other organs to provide energy to take off half of the load. This leads to building an energy body filled with emotions and reactions, desires to feed addictions, and an ever present anxious feeling of separateness.
With the worlds growing interest in holistic medicine, a greater awareness grows as well. With this will certainly come resistance for the pharmaceutical, and scientific community, but as their way of fixing us has only been truly in swing for the last 100 years where our society tends to grow sicker and more depressed, everyone has a right to seek ways to truly find inner peace and wellness.
The truth is, you are born healthy and happy, with strong organs and clear emotions and joy. This isn't meant to go away! It is the way we live our lives in reverse of what our body truly needs that slowly causes build up in deficiency, toxins, and negative energy. You have the power to prevent this from happening. You can have a life filled with energy, presence, creativity and love if you understand the way your bodies energy works.

The base relates to our feelings of being worthy of pleasure and sexuality. When grounded humans like animals can be a force of nature, we feel, and we intuitively know, we want connection to each other mentally, emotionally and physically. This should be natural to all of us. Unfortunately many of us have doubts, confusion and mentally worry attached to getting what we want and need, this is not something that should occupy space in our brain, free it up to manifest what you want!

So You Want Scientific Evidence For The Effectiveness of Reiki?
This essay will aim to examine the
core principles and values held in high esteem amongst Reiki practitioners and
their community. Reiki is a form of energy medicine first introduced into this
world by Dr Usui, a Japanese healer. Dr Usui discovered a process in which he
could draw down white healing energy from the universe, through himself as a
vessel, and out through his hands to perform body, mental, emotional and
spiritual healing, he passed this ability on. This is known today as the
attunement process, which involves a Reiki master passing on the Reiki symbols
by placing them into a student’s chakras and auric field to begin development as
a vessel for Reiki Energy. Reiki ideals hold a valid place in the holistic care
of clients suffering from spiritual agitation, loss of direction, stress,
anxiety, depression and physical pain. Reiki treatments are also effective at
calming cancer patients by helping them to work through their illness on a
level of positivity, reducing pain and stress in the body, as well as harmful
thoughts from the mind.
Reiki
means universal life energy, rei meaning flowing through everything alive, and
ki is light, which is also known as prana, mana or energy. (Muller 1995, p.9).
Reiki was founded at the end of the 19th century by a Japanese
Christian priest named Dr Mikao Usui. Dr Usui first became interested in
healing through his study upon the enigma of the secret healings of Jesus. He
dedicated his life to obtaining the ability to heal progressing in his studies
to discover that Buddha also had the power to heal at a Japanese monastery. After
discovering healing symbology within Buddhist scripts he decided to travel to a
mountain where he fasted for twenty one days. On the twenty first day healing
symbols hit his third eye, today they are known as Reiki symbols which are
passed from teacher to student through a process call attunement. (Muller 1995,
p.13)
Reiki
healing is homage to a beautiful philosophy and set of principles, which drives
healers to think larger than just the person they are healing directly. Their
everyday way of life is based around kindness, honesty and respect, sending out
positive energy wherever they go.
Just for today – Thou shalt not
anger
Just for today – Thou shalt not
worry.
Be thankful for the many blessings.
Earn thy living with honest labor.
Be kind to thy neighbours. (Muller
1995, p.15)
Although
Reiki is still largely scientifically unknown territory, there have been
studies conducted that clinically prove that the energy does have a calming and
therapeutic effect, even if the mechanism behind Reiki is yet to be
scientifically understood. Baldwin and Wagers and Schartz conducted a study on
rats showing Reiki significantly lowers heart rate in stressed and unstressed
rats, which some of were exposed to loud noises. A sham group was also
included, which had no effect on heart-rate (2008). Reiki is also being
embraced by cancer support services all over the world. Velde and Van discuss
the anecdotal reports, and beginning research that supports the use of Reiki in
providing relief for mental, physical and emotional effects of cancer on
patients.
People
to experience Reiki have felt its energizing effects, as well as the balance it
brings to their mental and emotional issues. The most commonly reported benefit
of Reiki is reduced stress, which has a positive impact on the well-being of
cancer patients (2012). An article which discusses the scientific evidence
recorded for the effectiveness of Reiki treatments by Baldwin, presents
evidence of Reiki increasing activity of vagal nerves in twelve patients
recovering from acute coronary syndrome, a disease involving blockages of the
arteries. This indicates a relaxation affect which changed heart rate
variability. Ultimately, Reiki had a similar effect to the medication taken by
patients who have suffered from this type of heart disease (2011).
The
effects of Reiki can also be seen visually with high frequency photography.
This effect was first shown by two Russian scientists who succeeded in photographing
the microstructural bioenergetics radiation of the human aura. The photo showed
the energetic field of a hand before and after a Reiki treatment, carried out
for only a few seconds, the field became bigger and brighter in the second photo
(Muller 1995, p151). If stress and pain has been proven to increase anxiety,
leading to depression in patients, it can be assumed that Reiki is also
effective for treating depression and anxiety, which has been shown to be true.
In an experiment including 12 men and 18 women, the patients who received Reiki
compared to sham Reiki demonstrated a significant reduction in pain, depression
and anxiety experienced in chronically ill patients suffering with different
medical conditions. Sessions were conducted twice a week for five weeks and the
benefits were still enjoyed three months after completion of Reiki treatments
(Baldwin, 2011). Leo also had similar evidence to present in regards to
depressed patients, showing evidence that Reiki shifted depressed patients to
get out of bed and exercise, which is a major chemistry-shifter (2011).
Reiki
is just beginning to be understood and clinically proven. The centre for Reiki
Research upholds excellent standards for the new evidence that emerges in
support of the therapeutic effect of Reiki healings. There is no doubt that Reiki
is a holistic and gentle way of healing, which encourages the body’s energetic
system to repair itself without toxic side effects. Patients who experience
Reiki understand the calming affect it can have on body, mind, spirit, even if
it is yet to be fully understood by scientists and society. The principles
adopted by Reiki practitioners assures that they first heal themselves, which
in turn creates a peaceful and positive energetic field around them, and
everyone they come in contact with.

My journey with energy medicine started roughly a year ago, my ability to sense energy
has always been strong, which is why I was drawn to this path.

medicine is becoming a deep-rooted passion that I wish to share with others!

may not be suitable for medical emergencies in all situations. However energy medicine is
preventative, stress reducing, emotionally clearing, self-empowering and simply put, beautiful.

even begin to visualise your own energy field and those of others. Dive into the infinte
web of your bodies subtle energy field and be amazed at the magic and light that we are all created from.
