Wellness
consciousness can be defined as an intuitive awareness
of your body’s needs. This ability can guide
you through the self-healing process.
As
you begin to feel more empowered through greater awareness
of the healing power of your soul, you may also develop
the understanding that we are all responsible for
the conditions in our life including our health quality.
Although
health care professionals serve vital functions in
our society, it is not necessary to relinquish total
control of our healthcare into someone else’s
hands. It is possible to know our bodies so well that
we can communicate clearly with doctors, chiropractors,
counselors and other therapists and take an
active part in our own wellness. When we
can speak clearly for our bodies, we help the health
care professionals serve us more effectively.
Western
medicine is rediscovering the ancient metaphysical
wisdom that the physical body has an intricate memory
system known as "cellular memory". It stores
the remembrance of everything our body experiences.
Physical
development of disease causes response in the emotional
and mental bodies, which have their own memory system
in the form of light patterns woven into the etheric
field.
The
American Institute of Stress estimates that 75-95%
of visits to doctors can be attributed to bodily stress.
Continual stress blocks the body’s natural ability
to repair, regenerate and protect itself, and the
effects of unresolved stress range from minor aches
to major health concerns such as heart disease, cancer,
digestive disorders, depression, respiratory and skin
problems.
A
major cause of stress is that our world has become
increasingly toxic. There are toxins in the food we
eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, in our
workplaces and in our homes. There are also "inner"
toxins. We experience toxic effects from negative
thoughts and emotions about ourselves, others and
the world. We create toxicity in our bodies by not
expressing emotions in a healthy way.
We
do have some level of control over the level of toxicity
in our environment. The words you speak, the music
you listen to, the television you watch, the materials
you read all have an effect on your consciousness,
and thus your energy and your state of health and
wellness. You most likely have heard "garbage
in...garbage out". Conversely, if we read, speak,
watch and listen to loving, peaceful, joyful, hopeful
messages, we create those conditions in our life.
That doesn't mean we will never have challenges. It
means that when challenges arise, we are more likely
to meet them with loving, peaceful, joyful, hopeful
attitudes.
 |
Fortunately,
we have tools inherent within our bodies that
can help release toxins, thus allowing us to
maintain or create wellness. Among these tools
is the etheric energy field, which consists
of spiritual,
mental
and emotional
layers (often referred to as
energy bodies) woven into a cocoon of
light. This cocoon of energy houses our life
essence.
We
also have energy centers, or chakras, which
act as valves for life force energy to flow
in, around and through our bodies.In order for
healing to take place it is essential for every
aspect of the body to be in alignment. This
means that the chakras must be aligned, clear
and balanced, and the energy bodies are free
of toxicity and in perfect alignment. The moment
of healing occurs when all chakras and energy
bodies are aligned simultaneously. |
The
seven energy centers, or chakras that we are
focusing on here include the base, sacral/creative,
solar plexus, heart, throat, brow or third
eye and crown chakras. We have additional soul
level chakras that are explored in our self-study
audio programs.
These
centers of energy function as valves which regulate
the flow of energy through our subtle energy
system. Chakras function based on choices
we make regarding our responses to circumstances,
situations and relationships in our life.
|
 |
The
functional quality of our chakras is dictated by the
decisions we make regarding how we think and
the way we respond to what we feel.
Chakras
are non-physical in the sense that many people are
unable to perceive them with their physical eyes.
They are rapidly vibrating vortices of light, and
elements of consciousness that interface with our
energy bodies and are integral parts of our etheric
field. Each chakra vibrates to a specific color, and
musical note.
Chakras
vibrate slightly slower than the aura, but more rapidly
than the energy of the physical body, thus they are
more dense, or ethereal than the aura, and more
ethereal
or less dense than the physical body.
It
is through the endocrine and nervous systems that
our chakras "communicate"
with our physical body.
Each
of the seven basic chakras influence the condition
of one of the seven endocrine glands, and also with
a grouping of nerves known as the plexus. The plexus
is divided into three subgroups, the lower, middle
and upper nerve plexus.
The
lower nerve plexus communicates directly to our
reproductive organs.
The
middle nerve plexus located in the area of the solar
plexus chakra,
controls the functioning of our heart and lungs.
The
upper nerve plexus in the brain is the source of all
our cognitive abilities as well as our endocrine,
neural, and muscular functions.
Therefore,
each chakra can be related with specific parts of
the body and the functions which are controlled by
the associated plexus or endocrine gland.
Each
chakra also interfaces with our mental and emotional
body, and affects how we think, feel and act.
Following
are some affirmations that can be used, in conjunction
with Reiki, prayer and/or meditation to assist in
clearing and balancing the chakras. These affirmations
indicate the areas that each chakra relates to in
reference to our thoughts, feelings and actions.
From
the Light of God within my being I release all judgment
and concern over fear, prosperity and survival. Fear
is my teacher, I send it love and blessings.
(repeat 2 more times) And So It Is
From
the Light of God within my being I release all judgments
and concern over sexuality, procreation, organization,
emotion and nurturance .
(repeat 2 more times) And So It Is
From
the Light of God within my being I release all judgment
and concern over power, limitation and action. POWER
is my birthright, it cannot be misused. Only used
for the good of myself and all creation. The only
TRUE power is LOVE
(repeat 2 more times) And So It Is
From
the Light of God within my being I release all judgment
and concern over healing, unity and love. I am love,
I accept Love from myself and others. I Love myself.
(repeat 2 more times) And So It Is

and concern over creativity, expression of Love and
communication. I will express and communicate with
Love for all creation. (repeat 2 more times)

From
the Light of God within my being I release all judgment
and concern over enlightenment and judgment. I do
not judge myself or others anymore. I see all as one.
(repeat 2 more times) And So It Is
Healing
takes place by changing energy. Affirmations can be
very powerful instruments of change and transformation.
The spoken word, influences both mental and emotional
patterns which are held in the etheric field.
The more frequently an affirmation is spoken throughout
the day, the more effective it becomes. Using
affirmations is like reprogramming a computer.
You put new "codes" in to replace old outdated
programs. If you have a very deeply seated negative
core belief, it may be necessary to combine other
methods with the affirmation. Working
with Reiki and the mental/emotional frequency in combination
with affirmation can be very effective, because you
are also energetically affecting the old belief in
addition to creating a new thought pattern. Working
with the color energy healing power within each chakra
in addition to affirmation as we do in our Infinite
Spectrum program, is another powerful way to reprogram
deeply seated core beliefs.
When
you have done something that you wish you had done
differently, have you ever said "Ohhh...I am
so stupid!". How about "I am getting
so fat!" Or has anyone ever said to you "If
you can't do it right, don't do it at all!",
or "If you can't do this, you will never amount
to anything." or "You have to work hard
for everything in life". or "Life
isn't easy".
Are
any of those familiar?
Statements like that affect our personal programming,
beliefs or codes.
If
you would like to transform a toxic core belief into
a positive one:
Try
this:
Pay very close attention to your body, and how you
feel. Begin very slow, very deep breathing and
focus on relaxing your body from head to toe. Perhaps
you might do an inner scan. Just close your eyes and
bring all your awareness to the top of your head (inside
your head). Then slowly move your awareness
down through your body. Be aware of how easily,
or difficultly your consciousness moves. Does
it move smoothly and easily all the way to your toes,
or is there a feeling of sluggishness, pain, or tingling
anywhere?
Just
make a mental note of anything you feel.
Now,
repeat this three times "I am sooo stupid!".
Check
in now and see how you feel. Do another scan,
pay attention to each of the chakras and make note
of any differences you feel.
Now,
if you don't like what you feel, repeat this three
times
"I am a brilliant, confident, successful person!"
Check
in again and make note of changes.
This
exercise can help you experience the power your thoughts
and words carry,
and how they affect your emotions.
There
is a direct interface between your mental body, which
houses your mental programming, and your emotional
body which is home to your emotional coding. When
thoughts/words/energy enter the mental body, they
connect to the emotional body and create an emotional
response. They can affect your sense of self-worth,
or personal empowerment and many other aspects of
your life.
Take
some time to reflect on what type of etheric programmer
you are.
Do you feed yourself positive messages, or negative
ones?
It
is relatively easy to create changes in your thoughts,
beliefs and emotions by using affirmation.
In
doing so you can positively affect your physical body
as well.
Illness
often begins in the mental body. By changing
unhealthy thought patterns, you can change the way
you process your emotions, and ultimately the energy
that flows into your physical body from your etheric
field, chakras, and through your meridians.
Change
your mind ... change your heart .... change your health!
Healing
can be defined as a process which leads to a sense
of wholeness and inner peace. The healing we speak
of here is related to, yet different from "curing".
As human beings, we are so much more than our physical
bodies. We can also see ourselves as a beautiful expression
of spirituality in physical form. Our bodies are a
blend of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical
energy in continuous interplay. It is in seeing ourselves
through "spiritual eyes" that we are able
to affect our sense of well-being, by journeying into
the healing power of our soul.
The
knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all
living things and is directly related to health quality
has been part of the wisdom of world cultures for
millennia. Recent scientific experiments have verified
the existence of this "life force energy",
and medical science is beginning to recognize the
role this energy plays in the functioning of the immune
system and the healing process.
Now
we know our body is composed not only of physical
elements such as muscles, bones, nerves, arteries,
organs, glands, etc.; it also has a subtle energy
system and chakras through which 'life force energy'
flows.
As we briefly dicussed earlier,
our physical body is cocooned in many layers of light
known as etheric bodies. In this illustration , the
outer image represents the spiritual body, which has
many layers. Inside the spiritual body is the next
level which is the mental body. It cocoons the emotional
body, which in turn surrounds the physical body. These
energy 'bodies' assist us in processing our thoughts
and emotions and responses.
The energy bodies house our chakras,
enabling them to work somewhat like valves by facilitating
the circulation of life force energy through the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
Our
physical body also relies on the proper function of
energy meridians and nadas. These are like rivers,
or streams which carry our life force energy throughout
our physical body, to nourish us and assist in balancing
our body’s systems and functions.
Our
physical body is alive because of the 'life force
energy' that is flowing through it. If our 'life force'
is low or blocked, we are more likely to get sick,
but if it is high and free flowing, we more easily
maintain health and a feeling of well-being. Stress
and toxins disrupt and weaken the flow of 'life force
energy'. Stress is often caused by conflicting thoughts
and feelings that become trapped in one's subtle energy
system. These include fear, worry, doubt, anger, anxiety,
negative self-talk, etc. Medical research has determined
that continual stress can block the body's natural
ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself.
Toxins take many forms, pollution in the air we breathe
and the water we drink, chemicals, pesticides and
antibiotics in our foods. Negative thoughts
can also create toxins, and emotions that are not
expressed in a healthy way can als be extremely toxic.
Reiki (ray-key) is a technique that aids the body
in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation.
Because of this, Reiki promotes healing and health.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei
which means "the Wisdom of God or the Higher
Power" and Ki which means 'life force energy.'
So Reiki means 'spiritually guided life force energy.
The Reiki system of healing is a technique for transmitting
this spiritually guided life force energy to yourself
and others through the hands and chakras into the
subtle energy system.
Reiki
restores energy balance and vitality by relieving
the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress.
It gently and effectively opens blocked meridians,
nadas and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving
one feeling relaxed and at peace.
Accelerate Healing
Provide a deep sense of relaxation
Facilitate the relief of pain
Assist the body in cleansing toxins
Balance the flow of subtle energy by releasing blockages
Help the recipient contact the 'healer within.'
A
Reiki session feels like warm, gentle sunshine which
flows through you, surrounds you and comforts you.
Reiki affects the person’s body, emotions, mind
and spirit as a whole.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual
healing and self-improvement. Beause Reiki is not
a religion, it is stress reduction and relaxation
method that everyone can learn and use.
Reiki
is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and nurturing.
During
a session, the client remains fully clothed. Reiki
is an effective alternative,
or complement to massage therapy.
Reiki
supports any medical, or supplemental healing methods
a client may be using and is of growing interest to
chiropractors, medical doctors, psychotherapists,
psychologists and hypno-therapists.
Anyone
can learn to tap into an unlimited supply of 'life
force energy to improve health and enhance the quality
of life by learning Reiki, or by receiving treatments
from a Reiki Practitioner or Master. To learn more
