My Music- Wonderland

Music/sound they say of any kind always, always has a calming effect on people. It is also one the best expressive therapies in the world, it usually works well for emotional-behaviorial disorders or emotional situations.

I think we all have a piece of music or song or songs which resonate with us or our vibrations, the vibrations which take us into a our own wonderland or memory land or dreamland, something that elevates us or gives a feeling of someone understanding.

My one such My Song is ---Here I go again  (Bloody Luxury) by White Snakes ( 1982 Album-Saints and Sinners)

I don’t know where I am going

But I sure know where I’ve been

Hanging on o the promises of songs of yesterday

And I’ve made up my mind, I aint wasting no more time

But here I go again, Here I go again

Though I keep searching for an answer

I never seem to find what I am looking for

Oh Lord I pray you give me strength to carry on

Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely streets of dreams

Here I go again on my own

Going down the only road Ive ever known

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone , And Ive made up my mind, I aint wasting no more time

Just another heart in need of rescue

Waiting on love’s sweet charity, And I am gonna hold on for the rest of my days

Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely streets of dreams

Here I go again on my own

Here I go again, here I go, Here I go again.

Incase you dont have any song, just pick up one and see which relates to you. Music is very good for the heart and throat chakras :)

Keep Singing & Smiling

Chakras and Glands

In extension to previous post on Chakras, this one gives an overview on the different glands associated with each Chakra.

Each Chakra in the body is associated with nerve plexuses & endocrine glands. Now each endocrine gland secretes hormones or chemical substances into the blood stream to regulate body growth, metabolism, other activities & inturn affects one or more organs.

Below is the chart which gives an insight into the glands for each Chakra :-

Chakra Name	Glands	Few Hormones associated/controlled	Location

Specific Anger Management Meditation & Yoga

a) Breathing Meditation-  Concentrate on the tip fo your nose, inhale slowly and feel the breath till your stomach your manipura chakra, hold it for 2 seconds ( count 1-7/10) and then feel it slowly exhale it. Try doing it alongwith Reiki
b) Nabhi Kriya - This helps to balance the Manipura and inturn anger issues--

•  This involves lieing on the floor or a mat and doing alternate leg lifts (upwards) for 10 min
• Then lift both legs for another 5 min,
•  Followed by knee to chest lift for 2-4 min slowly inhale and exhale
• Stretch the legs in 60 deg position for a min atleast
• Stretch one leg  and hold the other to the chest and alternate it for 2  min each
• Finally relax

c)  Personal belief-  Praying to Krishna, Brisphati Dev, Mediatating on Guru Nanak Devji and doing Jaap Sahib, Meditating and thinking of Jesus Christ ( yes Mother Mary too) , calling archangel Raguel & Raphael really helps in releasing anger and forgiveness.

 

d) Fast on thursdays for Lord Vishnu or visiting nearby Infant Jesus Chruch also helps.

e)  Kapalbhati -- is always very helpful in taking away any negavitity from your body as there is forceful release of breath from the body for a continous period.. Preferred time should be morning as its the time when your nabhi is the weakest thats when you would want to strengthen it.

Reiki and Anger

" Why do you want to learn reiki ?" This was First question my reiki teacher "AJ" asked my me Day One--Reiki 1 attunement; without a doubt the first two words were " ANGER MANAGEMENT " & " Emotional issues". 

Anger is the associated with the Manipura chakra/solar plexus chakra which is about 2-3 fingers above the navel. This is place for transforming anger into action. Whenever the manipura chakra is weak one is unable to take action to meet the desired outcome or unable to take responsibility of our own actions/ manipulation  can lead to Anger rage  & feeling of victimization.

How to overcome Anger issues through reiki

1)  While doing reiki Heal the front and back manipura/solar plexus chakra about 2-3 fingers above navel/nabhi. If you are reiki 2 channel or above use the symbol of emotional healing.

2)  Usually anger stems from negative emotions which is an attachment a situation or person or outcome, try healing the Ajna/Third Eye chakra along with Manipura and seek detachment in your mind from it.

3)  Heal and open your heart chakra, specially if its unresolved emotional issues + anger.

4) Similarly lie or sit still and be silent within yourself, thinking about that incident or person just cut chords immediately. You can also call Archangel Micheal or Shivji's or Guru Gobind Energies to cut chords.

5) Interestingly you can just imagine a sword in your hand and imagine a chord and instantly cut it from all or any specific chakras
6)  Say the affirmation -- " I flow with the flow of life" continously this helps to balance the manipura chakra.

7) Forgive and let go. One exercise- take a piece of paper and write the name of the person and the incident which hurted you and fold it and give reiki with the prayer " I release all anger, rage and hurt, and inturn replace this with genuine forgiveness". After the giving reiki burn that piece of paper.

If someone has serious anger issues related to child abuse/sexual abuse/violent behavior its always best to seek always seek help from pschyciatrist.

Remember -- " “You are free to choose no- anger ”

Reiki-Chakras and Depression

In today's fast paced lifestyle, nuclear families environements, over-competitiveness, relationship issues or people staying alone /single/lifetragedies/abuse/drugs/medical problem and working away from their home/families as led to indiviuals to mood issues/sadness/guilt/worthless/Spacy/ Helplessness/emptiness/ depression/ extreme form of psychiatric disorders.

In principle any one facing such or similar symptoms/state should always consult a psychiatrist or a psychologist and seek help either through medicinal treatement or general discussion. However alternative healing and care can also contribute in improving the situations like REIKI.

Any one who has issues or symptoms  related to similar to Depression ( as stated above) typically has root chakra and hara chakra issues. One can try and segregate the issues and relate it each of the chakras-

• Root chakra issues- Depression, Worthlessness, Sadness, Helpness, Insecurity, Spacy
• Hara Chakra- Moodiness, Guilt, Unable to enjoy pleasures of life , Self worth
• Root and Crown chakra- Schizoprenia, serious psychiatric disorders.
• Heart chakra- Unable to love onself.

How should one heal oneself or others in depression or related states based on experience.

a) For reiki - Heal the Front and Back root chakra, Back hara chakra, front and back heart chakras & if very critical the crown chakra. Heal for 45 days, be very sensitive about the crown chakra.
b) Suggest color therapy yourself -- for root- focus on red colored clothes , hara- orange colored clothes, heart-- green and pink colors.Preferably red and orange below the waist & pink/green above the waist.
c) Try walking, jogging, gym, cooking, Dance etc. basically anything which will give a certain movement, flow or methodical in nature to balance the root chakra
d) Walk around in the nature-- talk to the trees/plants/ hold or hug a specific tree trunk for sometime. Trees are very good healers.
e)  Cook for someone whom you love or express your love to either your parent or anyone.
f)  If you have faced any tragedy/going through a hardship try grounding yourself by grounding exercise.
g) Take more water
h) Eat Orange colored foods-- Orange, juices, carrots, mango, strawberries, honey, nuts.
   Red colored foods- beetroot, eggs, proteins, minerals- pomegranate, potatoes,onions, garlic, pepper, red  meat,
  Green colored foods- basil/tulsi, spinach, cabbage etc. Just make sure the person is not allergic to either of these items.
i)  Homoepathic medicines/ayurveda  also help.

Few Suggested grounding exercise

• Stomp on the ground as often as you can
• Take off your shoes and socks, keep your feet wide apart on the floor or mud/ sand/grass Push the your feet on the ground, inhale and push you feet and relax your stomach and knees, while exhaling slowly stretch your body and legs and straighten your legs ( not completely). Keep doing this for a few minutes about 7-8 minutes atleast you will feel a certain vibration in your legs and will help you release the negativity and help in grounding.
• This sounds very juvenile but its by far most effective- Make a near by tree your friend, water it, hug it every evening and talk your heart out to it ( take off your shoes everytime)

For serious schizoprenic and psychiatric disorders try hypnotherapy, its quite effective. I also suggest calling Archangel Raphael or energy of color green / Krishna/any God and doing angel therapy for complete healing & good health for 45 days.

Incase you have a person who has serious depression/bi-polar/psychiatric disorders please email me we can find a way out for you through any modality or doctor.

All one sometime needs is a Jadoo ki jhappi .

Chakra- Introduction

Chakra is a hindu/buddhist/tantric concept or word which literally means " Wheel".  It basically means the place in the human body or other realms where most nerves meet forms a Chakra. Each of the chakra comprising of nerves/nadias is a psychic center not only on the physcial level but on other outer subtle bodies too.
Each chakra /nerve connections moves, absorb energy behaves as an entity by itself on one hand and on the other works in association with the other. eg: cold leads to headache i.e:  muldhara imbalance leads to ajna/third eye imbalance. The chakras spin clockwise or anticlockwise.

When the chakra spins in the correct position and unhindered then energy flows and chakra is balanced and helps or compensates for other imabalanced chakras. On the other hand if chakra spins in - incorrect position /hindered then energy flow is blocked or imbalanced and can lead to minor to major complications one either levels ( emotional- physical-- mental-- psychological etc.). Thus balanced chakras can help one lead a life with good sense of being and balance.

On a personal note it very interesting to see chakra spin of different people, colors, sometimes it conical, round, square etc. Though in principle they are like how the Tantric chakras are represented -- petals/spokes.

Please note there 72,000 or more nadis/nerves intersections in our body, each nerve joint forms a chakra however major focus is on the key seve chakras. In reiki and other modalities chakra balancing is the core which leads to release from any ailments, issues, problems arising out of it ( more in next article)

So there are 7 main chakras which are in focus --

1)  Muldhara or Root Chakra

2) Svadisthana or Hara Chakra

3) Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra

4) Anahata or Heart Chakra
5) Visuddha or Throat Chakra
6) Ajna or Third eye chakra

7) Saharasa or Crown chakra

While doing reiki all of the chakras get balanced or improvised over time and at times if one gets imbalanced the other helps in balancing it sometimes. During reiki, if u go within ureself deep you can very well feel the spin and movement of your own chakras and you can place your hands or heal that specific area accordingly.

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 !!!!

Experiencing- Reiki FAQs

Sometimes when I talk to people about my experiences in reiki some people get confused, some freak out, some wonder why arent their experiences similar, some fear, some have wrong notions/perceptions, some feel its anti- religion, some feel its bogus. This section will help answer some of the queries which people frequently ask me or my reiki teacher.

a)  Q-  After reiki I am unable to experience anything different or divine. Is there anythnig wrong with me? A- Reiki operates on different level of your body, mind , spirit. Some people might be experiencing but on the physical level unable to see. Please understand everyone has a different sensitivty and soul experience.

b) Q-  Is reiki a religion/cult? I dont want to be part of the cult.
     A-  Reiki is not a religion or cult. Despite getting attuned and practicing reiki there are no hard and fast  rules which one needs to practice. You can devise your own mechanism of doing healing

c) Q-  Reiki is best other healing modalities or spirtuality stuff are not good/ cause issues in your aura.
     A- Please remember nothing in this world is good or bad . One always chooses a modality or prayer       which they find is in line with themselves. No modality leads to issues in aura. Just protect your self & dont coin any religion as good or bad

d) Q-  I am a true- christian/Muslim/Sikh etc. the pastor/maulvi /pathi/priest says its not good. I am confused
     A-  Always remember nothing in this world is bad or unhealthy. Trying meditating or be silent ortake your God's name and you will get your answer. We all have different ways of finding ourselves.

e) Q-  How can Reiki Help me?
    A-  Reiki is very gentle and mother like, it can be used for physical ailments, managing emotional issues,mental & psychological issues, spirtual growth, intellectual capability and capacity, ,memory etc.. Reiki with other healing modalities can clubbed and you can help others and yourselves.

    A-  Anyone irrespective of caste, color, creed, religion, gender, health can learn reiki. It is Universal :)

g) Q- Can I get attuned from distant?
     A-  Yes, you can get attuned from distant. But my personal observation is when one is getting attuned in person the effects can be felt at a higher degree owing to proximity.

h)  Q-  I do tarot cards, TM etc. reiki will be another thing which I can learn and teach people?
      A-  Yes you can learn and teach others and make money. But honestly I am of the opinion if one gets  fixated on money and considering spirtual learnings as survival means sometimes the purpose gets lost. So better not do spirtual shopping and just be in-sync with self and help others. Greed should be the last thing on your mind :)

i)  Q-  I dont know how to put this across, but I am having bizzare experiences ever since I learnt reiki?
     A-  Its normal and okay to have such experiences. Some souls are better evolved than others just know that you have the ability and active third eye. Just Protect yourself.

j)  Q-  I love reiki
     A-  So do I  :)

k)  Q-  Where does the reiki energy come from, is it my energy?
      A-  Reiki is universal energy which around all of us, as reiki channel the person only utilises that energy  for benefit of self and others. Never at any point should one act out of  EGO -- as in one is giver of all.


Please contact me if you have any other questions on reiki or any other spirtuality related aspects. It might help everyone.

Reiki and Relationships

Condition or fact of being related, connected or associated with another or self is  " Relationship". One can form relationships with another human, animals, plants, objects, god, passion, thought or self , which basically mean we all thrive for connect in some way or the other.

During the normal course of our lives relationship balance is what we want/desire/need. Reiki - any level is highly effective and help to resolve physical and emotional issues in relationships. It helps to reduce stress, anxiety, animosity, Bitterness in relationsips, self love etc and help to overall seek help with love and relationships. As a reiki practitioner I would encourage people to learn reiki and other modalities to improvise relationships.

Regarding relationships ( in my view) following are the points which can help :-

1) Let- Go- Reiki healing helps to let go of the element of too much of attachment- It sets one free. It helps us to take away clingy and neediness and helps to be more full and giving. The which one feels is cleared and one feels full.

2) True Purpose- Reiki healing helps one to identify one's own needs, gain clarity on the need of the relationship. It helps one to assess & desired changes required to happy and be in line with one's purpose.

3) Positive affirmations- Sometimes we say we want positivity and happiness.. but the question remains are we really working in overcoming the challenges and issues... reiki helps us to align with what we really want , develop a positive outlook towards the self, other and work towards compassion.

4) Giggles- I have seen that reiki lightens one up even towards serious issues in relationships. It helps one view things from a third person's perspective and be a spectator also. This helps to give room or desired space... Ofcourse a good laugh helps to resolve most of the emotional issues.

5)  Give and receive-- I was once told- " sometimes we receive love from unexpected quarters", how so true. Giving and receiving and like inhaling and exhaling, paving way for balance. In relationships sometimes one partner starts giving more than the other it leads to a vaccum as one is giving-- sometimes conditionally and creates a void.. Hence leading to depressions, hurt. Reiki helps indiviuals to balance the give and receive patterns, if at all an imbalance it enhances self- love.

6) In Present & with self- Usually in relationships people tend to live in the future or what next scenario or some times become or project who they neccessarily might not be.Reiki helps one to focus and enjoy the present, one tends to accept one self and the other. Always remember if u are happy you will attract happy and healthy relationships.

7) Balance- Reiki Healing helps to strike a balance in physical, emotional and psyhcological levels within. It inturn helps to build strong foundations of a healthy relationships.

Suggested Associated Chakras for relationship healing are-
1) front and back heart chakra ( especially for promoting self love),
2) Root chakra front and back- any security related issues
3) Knees- for flexibility
4) Hara chakra
5) Back Throat chakra for expression

Sometimes we need to remember in relationships--

" We all stumble, everyone of us, thats why its comfort to go hand in hand "

With Love Reiki

Since many centuries /ages different religions/cultures/groups have been propogating " other than medicines" there are other modalities for curing /improvising the health of a human being. There are many other modalities of which one is Alternative healing. One aspect of reiki comes under Alternative Healing/curing, though it is no substitute for any medicines but only supporttive.

Reiki is a way of " Healing with hands" which was introduced as a spirtual practice by Mikao Usui in 1922.
It is a japanese word which translates as--- Rei = Universal and Ki= Life force which is highly positive. Typically  Reiki is practiced by placing hands over the healee, there are structured way of placing hands but based on experience it should be more intution driven. Any person who hasnt learn reiki can get oneself healed or experience by visiting or calling a practioner. It can be offered both hands on or through distant mechanisms.

Reiki is for overall whole well being -- physically, mentally, spirtually, psychologically,  emotionally. i.e: all the realms which surround the body. It helps in all areas of your life--- work, relationships, ailments, diseases, events etc. It is a positive energy which fills you up and any negativitity will either leave you or turns it into positive.

Anyone interested in learning Reiki ----Reiki has a concept of lineage -- guru --shishya association wherein the entire process is taught and attunement is done by the guru or the teacher.  I say guru -shishya here as then the connect & assciation become more deep and filled with gratitude. There are three levels in reiki

a) First level-- Attuned by the teacher/guru, shishya/new healer can heal things /people by placing hands over it. At this level the energy is usually very light and can make one "happy dreamy". It operates more on the physical level. Practice is a must for 21 days for cleansing. Believe me its a Honey moon period.

b) Second Level- Attuned by same teacher /guru. There should be atleast 3 -6 months of difference in learning level two, as it helps the person/body levels to get in line with the energy shift/patterns. This is more on the emotional level and during this course many emotional issues/held up feelings can come up with a jolt. Symbols are taught during this level and shishya can do distant healing by various mechanisms.Practice is must for 21 days for all reiki channels.

c) Third Level- Attuned by same teacher or Guru. There should atleast 1-3 years of gap from the time of learning level 2. 3A- is more enhanced for self, but 3B- should be learnt if one intends to teach /feels is spirutally enhanced to a certain level. This aids in enhanced spirtual growth. 3B- is usually learnt by shishyas who are interested in teaching reiki to other fellow beings.

In each of the levels--chakras start opening up and balancing.

Reiki is destined to play a very important role in overall well being and energy shift of indiviuals and earth & is highly valued and practice.
