Chakra/Aura Cleansing before Reiki session

Getting rid of something seen as  unwanted, unpleasant and defiling is cleansing.

Chakra /Aura cleansing therapies ( more imaginary or mental) are mood uplifting therapies which tend to remove negative thought patterns, harmful energies which have accumulated in some chakra area or aura realm due to past experiences or thoughts of future like trauma, unfulfilled desires, relationships, work, spirits etc.

Cleansing leaves with a feeling of contentment and fresh renewed feeling of self and light feeling /less clouded state of mind and spirit. In some ways it helps to cope up with stress. Below are three water (imaginary) element related methods which can be practiced before reiki sessions on a daily basis- to keep in check one's feelings w.r.t negative aspects. I am personally very fond the swimming method in a Sarovar/ Pure Lake . The point is that whatever method you , it should resonate with your energies or easy for you to do or practice

Cleanse

Take bath with rock salt water,
 explore the natural water bodies 

Water fall method

• Sit comfortably on chair and stand in relaxed mode
• Take deep breaths for 10 min 
• Imagine a mountain, rainbow or color and that your standing under a waterfall
• Keep your intention and feel that the water is is cleansing all the energies, clearing blockages, uplifting the vibrations, removal of toxins from your body. 
• If you a Reiki healer then you can say the attitude of gratitude and chant the specific chakra mantra for cleansing.

Sarovar ( swimming) method

• Lie or sit  comfortably on a mat or bed
• Take deep breaths for 5-8 min or lie in shav asana pose
• Imagine a lake or sarovar or a religious place with sarovar. Keep your intentions and imagine you are swimming deep in the sarovar and suddenly gush out like mermaid and completely drenched the water and energy of positiveness and increased vibration with you feet feeling cool 
• Land on the ground of marble with waves of positive energy of the color you like. 

Use chakra mantras by imagining
aquamarine or sea green
color around

Brushing & cleansing with imaginary water method

•  Stand straight and use both palms of both hands and gently brush off by palms or using a feather from the top of the head to your feet.
• Then imagine sprinked water or dew drops of purple color falling on you.
• Keep your intention and feel that all the debris, blockages, toxins are cleaned and you are being transformed

As a a reiki healer or other healing modalities practitioner you can use these water element related methodologies to heal yourself , use it before start of the session on the healee  or suggest to your clients and students to practice.

Self - Protection & Gratitude

Meditiation, Prayer work, Reiki,tarot,angel therapies, hypnosis, past lives are the few areas of energy work by which one can tread on the path of spritual growth. (Please note-- there is no fixed path in growing everyone has their own path/destiny just the means are different--Anyways).

Energy Work, spirtual growth , elevation etc are very facinating words but each time one learns and practices the key is protection of the self -physical level & aura/other realms around onself.
In my reiki healing  sessions I have many times encountered myself picking up energies and immediately feeling wierd, lost,  upset or similar incidents happening . As I practised more  in these areas I realised I wasnt protected enough or maybe was healing from the ego and was too sensitive.

So inorder to Minimize the risks and protect ourselves and suggestions for other people - ROSE is what I sought out to ---

R- Remember the Divine
O- Offer yourself to receive the divine wisdom
S- Surrender the whole process to Divine
E- Equanimity- Align heart and mind with the Divine

1)  Always enter the healing sessions by first protecting yourself Always start by saying the affirmations, CALL/ASK/PRAY to the supreme being, archangels, higher anagels, Gods by using compassion & intution/mind.

2)  It is always important to Open up oneself to receive divine protection and guidance by setting the intention and being more receptitive from the higher levels- Gods, Gurus Archangels, Angels ,higher self , person or anyone you believe in.

3) Surrender the whole process to the Divine, offering oneself as the pure channel and let go of the  " MINI-ME- EGO".Important  to let one's physical, mental emotional,spiritual self to be an instrument to Divine will or let the highest self to work through. Allow higher wisdom to guide & conduct the process by letting the intution flow.

4) Open one's heart & self to higher feelings- compassion, harmony, forgiveness, gratitude, peace & faith as opposed to plastic feelings. invoking the higher feelings to self-trancedence & equanimity.

This will lead to the higher- self connected to the Gods, Supreme Power, Devtas, Archangels & Higher Angels etc. & benefit both the healer and the healee :)

Enjoy the Energy Work !!!!

Love and Heal
