Reiki is able to give you a health boost forever. That is wonderful, isn’t it?

It helps you to connect and balance in your own body and system. You can use Reiki as a first Aid tool for small and little accidents in and around the house and it helps you to get over with daily little health issues like catching a cold, headache or flue.

I also want to talk to you about some very specific energy exercises for getting back in energetic shape.

Reiki as First Aid – A handy toolkit

Reiki – the beautiful energy comes through our hands to the receiver. And the beauty is that this energy knows exactly where to go, and how to handle. When you are in physical pain, it is possible to ask Reiki to work just there on the body, to relief the pain.

One of the most important lessons I have learned the years as a practitioner, is that very often something wants to come out, instead of the need to put something in. Medication is something yo have to take in, it comes in the body and works. It gives a certain energy. Vitamins and supplements are taken in. To work and make a proper adjustment of all the nutrition-levels in the different substances we need these days.

Rarely we give our bodies the opportunity to relax, to detox or to rest and get better. Or to get energy out. Maybe only when we exercise…

Energy moves. It loves to move and loves to cycle and recycle. In balance. Between giving – taking, moving – resting, stream and being still…

So, when you are treating, please check if there might be an urge for energy to come out instead of in…

I want to repeat shortly the procedure when you are doing a treatment. Just to make sure 😉 And one more thing I want to add is the power of water.

Treatment in Reiki with a specific intention or for a specific health issue

• Wash your hands, go to the restroom, prepare
• Make sure your client is very very comfortable, with pillows, blankets etc
• You make contact by saying ‘hello’ in a proper way.
• You make contact on the head – hair, and you will let yourself be guided through the procedure by knowing the route by heart.
• You wil listen to your intuition. Always.
• You check and observe your client. Is something changing? Colour of skin? Is the breathing calm and constant?
• When you feel it’s been enough, you stop the treatment.
• You get your client back by touching the feet. Paint the aura. Remember: when you’re client was sitting – the aura needs tob e closed by zipping – up.
• You wash your hands careful with cold water and you drink a glass of clean and fresh water.
• You give your client water as well. If you feel that you are still very connected: give yourself three truths and bring yourself back to here and know.
• Namaste.

Catching a Cold

’Having a cold’ is the expression we use when we are suffering from nasal discharges / snot in and around your nose, sinuses, coughing and sour throat in many ways.

It comes in a zillion of varieties. Cold can be one of the sources, but then I mean getting really cold. Like two hours of making out in a summer dress at night in the winter. Or swimming without proper getting warm and dry afterwards. So real physical cold…

Very often you suffer from a bacteria or virus…Or: a bacteria coming out of a virus…Sometimes the ‘cold’ has nothing to wit hall this.

Then it just is a reaction. Your stomach / belly and / or bowel is getting rid of all kinds of toxic things. Your lymphatic system is cleaning in a big way and it makes that your body is full with all kinds of extra fluids. And yes, your sinuses are working hard too.

Sometimes you suffer from a kind of cross-over thing. Example: when you are suffering form a typical type of worms, you will get a cough, since they will enter the lungs as well and you will try to het rid of them by coughing – and it looks then as a cold.

So: please remember: was is a cold? Is it bacterial? Then all the nasal fluids are yellow. Is it a virus? Then the snot is watery. And yes: that can also be an allergic reaction to something. If the snot is white it is a virus.

All the coming treatments I show here are from one particular book: Het grote Reiki Heelboek – Walter Luebeck – Here is the link!

Walter Luebeck is a German Physician, and he wrote this book for his colleagues in the medicine-world.

Catching a Cold – The points

Headache

Headache is very complex. It kan come from the outside – when you’ve experienced a hard external force, it can be your vasculair system, it van be an imbalance in your hormones. Very often it is just tension which has build up during a period and it comes to you in your neck and shoulders. The hamstrings are hard…Sitting behind a computer can be a big source as well.

Headache – The points

Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is a excellent system, to clean like a rocket – so very fast – dirty stuff out of your body. But unfortunately it is very oncomfortabel. An dit takes tons of energy since you are losing everything: also the good stuff. An dit takes a lot of your fluid system….

Diarrhoea is to be taken serious at all times. It can be a signal of worse. When I am on my way – traveling – and I feel diarrhoea coming – I always took Coca Cola and pretzels. After one day it should be gone. The sugar and coca cola magic make that happen 😉

Here is Luebeck’s treatment.

Detox / Rejuvenation

All big cultures know times of detox, fasting and cleaning. The Ramadan for example or the ‘Carnivale’ in Christian cultures. Hindus use fasting and Meditation as a spiritual mean to grow in knowledge and wisdom.

Fasting and detox is done in millions of ways – here is the treatment by Luebeck.

The lemniscate as  a balance exercise

The shape of a lemniscate – the never ending 8 – is an ancient and old symbol. It connects to all kinds of old dualities like black / white – Ying / Yang – Male / Female – Top / Down – Body / Soul etc.

The form itself has a strong impact on the two hemispheres. When you draw the form, you feel the rhythm in the movement form the shape. In the Art-therapies and Formzeichnung classes as given in the Waldorf schools – this exercise is one of the fundamentals. Heres a nice article about the topic.

The Exercise –Paper, drawing things like crayons or paint

How?

You will sit down, take the paper up-right.Chose a colour to make the fundament. Draw in a flowing, nice and even energetic movement. When the second colour comes in, make a shape with in and outside at the line. Do not cross in the middle: make sure you leave a opening. Try to feel every time you draw when the inside is and when the outside…

This exercise is nice to do in oil crayons, pastels, watercolours.

The lemniscate is used in different mindset techniques. It synchronizes the right and left hemisphere. In diverse fractal artworks, lemniscates are being found. In massage techniques the lymphatic system is awakened and on an energetic level, all starts to stream and flow.

The Dream-Body

The shamanistic systems work with the dream-body. This word is lend thus by the shamanistic energetic systems.

The dream-body is a part of you. It is the physical and psychological entity which travels when you are asleep. But there is more: it is also the description for being in ‘Reiki’ when you are going to treat someone.

It is also the part of you which relaxes and works at the same time, when you are in meditation or trance.

To get there – in your Dream-Body the following happens.

First a deep relaxation in one way ore another. You can use breathing techniques to get there or visualisations. This happens every night when we are going to sleep.

The next step is that you’re dream-body leaves your physical body and travels. Through the deep an different layers of consciousness. There is a connection, the navel cord , and it will stay with you. Also when you are flying in your dreams – the navel cord will bring you back always.

It is a good idea to get used to the concept of the Dream- Body. You can use meditation. You also could use an invitation to yourself: to connect with this beautiful part of yourself. And you will see that this is the part where you are given Reiki from 😉

Assignments:

• Check if this week reiki-opportunity’s open up. If you hear in your surrounding someone saying things like “Ah, ouch, my head”. Or “My shoulders hurt so much.” You can ask in a very calm way; “I could try to help you with energy. If that’s allright for you”. And after positive feedback, then you give the treatment, just there and then.
• Seek for a moment in the day – where you will Reiki yourself. Something you will incorporate now, for the rest of your life!
