Surrender

" Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth and truth in the darkness of the mind".
                                                                                         Victor Hugo ( Les Miserables)

Let go- Dew drop on the lotus
 leaf eventually has to merge with
its true source... surrender to the flow

Chaotic times are the ones which mainly lead or atleast make us feel sometimes that we are in a state of darkness or unknowing. There was one such time in which my teacher " Meera" explained to me the concept of surrender, little did i know what wonders it can do. I can clearly say despite all the concept and details and explaining to others what and why is it important to surrender at times; it has been very difficult for me to implement it myself- listening to my inner self gives a way.

But what is Surrender -- is it giving up, or letting go, or waiting in the darkness for light to come by itself,  does it come in the form of shrugging your desires over responsibilities or responsibilities over desire, does it mean having faith or relieving oneself from faith and let things chart their own course?? From a distance surrender is a fascinating word .... just another word.

When i look at " faith" which is usually people will preach or advocate , has elements of " universal energy to come to play"  or " whatever will happen will happen for the best". So the question is - Is it effort?? Is it oscillating between trust of self and others? Is it a wait n watch method??

Another aspect is giving up, usually it is not propagated as it is presented as someone who is hopeless, given up on life or responsibilities... So the question is ---" Is giving up control also an effort?" Are responsibilities, desires just means to stop us with go with the flow of life" or Is it to stop fighting for what we believe or have believed for so long "

Heal your heart with Reiki and love
& surrender to the divine within

Great act of patience is also an element, however in the process we still think of numerous outcomes and the very little details of it and still fretting over what might happen.

In  surrender one has to do it their best and then wait for any course to happen , basically to live in the present with calmness and then live and accept the outcome. It is to realize that we are not always in charge or control of our lives sometimes and letting go of the worries is what we can do best at hand. Probably channeling the energy of mental worry and can help us realize a positive outcome.

" Apply yourself, hand foot to the search, but when you reach the sea stop talking about the stream"
                                                                                                             Hakim Sanai ( Sufi Poet)

" One doesn't surrender life in an instant. That which is lifelong can take lifetime to surrender".

Reiki- Scientific Explanations and experiments

This  post is about scientific connections of reiki and to give an insight into few areas where it has been proven. This is informational article only based on my reading up on this matter. If you like you can read up more about reiki and scientific effects or explanations. Most of my fellow readers wouldn't be agreeing on these points but these are a few experimental facts about reiki.Below are a few insights :-

Ice Crystals

• Effects of hands on healing is a physical process.-Experiment- Bengston worked with a healer, obtained 5 mice with severe cancer from a controlled group with 100% prediction of death between 14-27 days. These mice were healed for an hour daily for next 30 days. During those days the tumors/ulcers blackened, imploded and closed. The Mice lived a normal life span. The other set of mice with cancer sent to another location who were given injections died. This experiment was done in three replications of which 87.3 % of mice who were given reiki lived normal life span so 12.7% died as opposed to 100% of the mice of the group with no reiki treatment died.
• Reiki has electrical and magnetic qualities which are measurable-  Ampere's law explains electrical and magnetic energies around human body, therefor electric current flows through conductors and created magnetic energy around. Therefore electric energy flowing through human body/organs creates bio-magnetic field. This bio magnetic energy changes and can be measured using instruments like magnetometer or super conducting interference device. It found people with specific ailments, moods, thoughts have different bio-magnetic fields. I am assuming reiki does have some effect on it. If we look at the electric energy which flows through the ida , pingala and sushmana nadis, proper flow of energy effects the overall bodily health of the being
• Pulsating magnetic energy required for stimulating tissue repair is in the hands of most reiki healers-In 70s the biomagnetic research showed that magnetic energy ( at extremely low frequency) tends to stimulate tissue repair, bone fractures etc. Pulsing electromagnetic field energy was introduced for bone healing at 7Hz.Interestingly 2 Hz for nerve regeneration, 7 Hz for bone growth, 10 Hz for ligament repair. Dr. Zimmerman found that reiki practitioners/other healers /people with natural healing abilities emitted same low frequencies from their hands. Most of the practitioners had frequencies of 7Hz on an average but even going upto 30 Hz. 
• Brain waves of reiki masters or other healing modalities almost synchronize as earth's magnetic field-  Earth's magnetic field is about 7.83 Hz, tuning fork concepts come into picture here. For some of the reiki healers the brain waves are mostly in the alpha state during healing and tends to resonate with earth's magnetic field. 
• Reiki ice-crystal experiment- Ice crystal experiment was held in Japan , hands on healing was done to Japanese distilled water ( which never forms hexagonal shapes) due to high amount of chlorine. However the test was conducted on tap water for a few days and it was found that several samples had crystal formation, several seven sided crystals were formed which is rare.
• Reiki reduces pain- In 2006 experiments were conducted on a group of women undergoing hysterectomy, 12 patients received 30 min of reiki treatment twice immediately before surgery and then at 24 hrs and 48 hrs. As per the state trait anxiety inventory and visual analog for pain measurement it was reported that women who received reiki had less pain-pre and post surgery.
• An experiment by Friedman in 2010 wherein nurses gave healing to patients from acute coronary due to blockage of coronary arteries was found to relax the nerves and reflected positive change in heart rate.
• Otelia Bengssten conducted experiment on 79 patients of various ailments like cancer, arthritis etc., out them 49 were given reiki, it was found within a few days the treated patients showed increase in hemoglobin values. For cancer patients treated with bone marrow suppressive it was so pronounced showed  increase in hemoglobin values.
• An experiment by Crawford in 2006 wherein 12 elderly Alzheimer patients were given four 30 min reiki treatments improved the cognition skills than those of the other 12 patients who weren't given any treatment.

Angel of Mercy- Mother Teresa

Agnes- we thank u

" By blood I am Albanian.By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, a catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus."
                     Mother Teresa (1910-1997)


As human beings how many times have we felt abandoned by God, felt that is his mystery is just a fantasy and nothing more than that, how many times have we felt that our belief and feelings no longer within us, how many times have we thought to give up the world of temptations of belief and done something of our true calling !!!  A young woman Agnes Gonreha Bojaxhiu in South Yugoslavia did something of her true calling.

From the quiet contemplative life of Agnes ( Mother Teresa) revealed her humanitarian deeds.Her loneliness, heartbreak and desolation with the Almighty began upon seeing poorest of the poor people in India. She took others pain as her own, feelings of abandonment and doubt of others as her own. Every kind deed of hers speaks millions about Mother Teresa , the gift to humankind.

Great life of Mother Teresa, Saint with a true heart :-

• At age 12 decided to become a nun to dedicate her life to God's work & by age 18 she became a nun in the congregation of sisters at Ireland.
• By 1942 Mother Teresa took a vow to give herself entirely to Christ, to give God anything her asks her for any deed.
• In 1946 while a train journey in Calcutta did realize her true calling-- " Calling to serve the poor and needy". It is interesting to note she got visions of Jesus asking her to work on the mission for charity.
• Mother Teresa learnt Bengali and worked for the welfare of others
• Missionary of Charity was started in 1946 ( formally in 1950) which serves to the poor and needy till date & cares for leprosy patients. Initially there was no money she took a bunch of poor children and started teaching them , later donations came like chair , table etc.
• Nirmal Hriday (home of pure heart) was the name replaced for the Kalighat home for dying. Those who were brought here were taken care of and died with dignity as per there Mazhab ( religion)
• Nirmala shishu bhavan a place of lost children and their care
• Shanti Nagar/Prem Nivas a place to treat leprosy patients, well being  food, bandages and mobile kind of clinics.
• Her presence and works are known throughout the world, her missionaries are open in Venezuela,  Austria, UK and other countries. 
• Mother Teresa received Padma Shri, Jawaharlal Nehru international award, Bharat Ratna, Ramon Magsaysay Award, Nobel Peace Prize and others

Some of Mother Teresa's feelings- 

Despite the great deeds and helping the poor it provided her with Inner Joy. With all the suffering she saw she felt lonely, abandonment from God, had feelings the heaven is empty, that God maybe doesnt exist and she was nothing at all. To this extend was Mother Teresa internally hurt by seeing others pain.

Her words itself mark her as one the greatest saints of our times, her thoughts that her work was just her duty and had no emotional, physical , spiritual connect or greatness. In her heart she kept the vow with the lord to serve others and put them forward before her self.

She converted her feeling of abandonment to ABSOLUTE.

Learning from Mother Teresa,  the great teacher:-

Mother Teresa feeding a child
with love and compassion

• Be Humble
• " The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for  is the greatest poverty. we must start in our own homes to remedy this poverty"
• To follow your true inner calling or to follow your heart
• Commitment to the work you do
• Love people around us, especially family
• Dedication and will supercede every hardship
• Vow to self and not be moved by what think or do.
• Humane Compassion and unconditional love exist
• No discrimination and tolerance and acceptance of every human being
• Every one has the right to live and die with dignity
• Actions speak louder than words
• Sometimes we learn from our sufferings.
• Have Faith, believe in faith. :)

" There is terrible hunger for love. We experience in our lives - pain, loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them, love them."

Reiki- 21 day cleansing process

Chaos- Upside down of
our beliefs/values/vision

A person who is initiated to Reiki irrespective of the degree will experience of 21-day cleansing process. The reiki initiation esp at level 1 and 2 wherein the vibration level increases and breaks the negative patterns of the lower vibration. The pattern shift of dissolving of toxins and breakdown of negative patterns takes some time, usually the time duration is understood the be atleast 21 days.

The 21 day cleansing process is also included during the practice that post the initiation so the channel is wider and smoother. Additionally as per human behavior takes about 21 days to something to be accepted our mental/physical system and certain changes to be completely visible.

Upon initiation or prior to initiation every individual should ask themselves or write as to what things they want to change, what changes they want 

From the destruction
 arises our true higher
inner self- which asks us to
look within

within themselves and do you really want to change things? In all these three questions the common element is change meaning transformation. Thus 21 day cleansing process enables  individual to transform oneself on  all or specific levels be it physical/mental/emotional or spiritual.

Typically based on the growth of the soul and the willingness to transform, the changes are visible on physical  level as flu, pains, aches, constipation, vomitting, stomach upset, sore throat etc.; on emotional level past suppressed emotions or emotions that we fight back or hold on to frequently might come up on the surface;  on mental level old thought forms, blame, victim, guilt, behavioral patterns etc will re-surface and literally be tormenting; on spiritual level usually one's believe system is shaken or one questions the real truth.

Few suggestions that can help during  reiki 21 day cleansing period :-

Listen to your beautiful inner voice
Peace- Harmony-Love-Abundance

• Drink lots of water to release toxins
• Eat fresh fruits and juices, avoid or eat less meat products and avoid alcohol/smoking/recreational drugs
• Do self healing without fail for 21-45 days , else if you miss you will have to re-do until next 21 days from the day you missed
• Try meditate or sit in calm quiet place
• Share your experiences with your fellow reiki learners or teacher;  preferably keep a journal
• Avoid stressful situation- reiki itself will soothe everything around you and make u positive mind
• Appreciate self and others. Best is to compliment others/ be playful
• Do things in moderation- like not over the top
• Be compassionate- ask archangel azrael to help you in your transformation process and comfort/heal your hurt. Invite Archangel Raphael during every day reiki self healing
• Take rest, incase any serious complication talk to your doctor and reiki teacher.

Trust and listen to your inner voice and higher self- a new you, a new vision, a new life has just begun.

Love and Heal 

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.

Chakra Foods & Taste

Taste is related to the Hara Chakra

Balance and harmony are key to the overall growth any organism, of which food and related taste are considerably important.
The five elements of taste are :-

• Sweet
• Sour
• Bitter
• Salty
• Pungent 

A balanced diet with all the five elements is good, however under or over indulgence of any of these leads to imbalance. Every food one eats needs to have the nutritive value required. For every physical, emotional or mental , psychological treatment , the change in a diet literally does wonders. 

Below chart gives an insight into quality of food and psychological message regarding the same

Quality of Food	What could be the message or indication or balance required
Salty	Which are the areas where you need more openness and flow in your life
Crunchy	What is stressing you or overwhelming
Sweet	Do you need more joy and fun in your life
Spicy	Is our attitude towards life about living on the edge, want loads of intensity? Do you get bored too frequently?
Sour	Do you get emotionally and mentally scattered, do you need to draw attention towards yourself
Soft	Do you want to feel nurtured most of the times?

Fresh and balanced diet helps to nourish
All elements to be eaten in balance

Happy Balanced Eating

Chakra- Fruit Juices--- Shake Shake !!!

Fresh Fruit Juices are healthy

Certain thoughts/events/feelings can make the Chakras go out of balance, hence sometimes we need to balance and clear the chakra inorder to enjoy the positive aspects of holistic living.

Chakras- Emotional energy areas

A natural instinct state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood or relationships with others is defined as EMOTION. Any feeling which characterizes the feeling of joy, anger, love, guilt, sorrow etc is called as emotion.
It is interesting to note that each emotion corresponds to a specific chakra in turn to a specific organ. It is the emotion that affects the physiology. 

A child's heart is full and purest of all

Each emotion tends to affect another emotion- either by giving rise to another emotion or overcoming another emotion or lowering another emotion. All this leads to one chakra imbalance affecting another chakra

• Giving rise/feeds to another emotion ( reactive)-  Anger gives rise to joy, joy gives rise to thought, thought gives rise to worry, worry fives rise to fear and fear to anger
• Overcoming another emotion ( more of imbalance and channeling of energy)-  Anger overcomes thought, thought overcomes fear, fear overcomes joy, joy overcomes worry and hence anger
• One emotion lowering another emotion- worry reduces joy, joy reduces fear, fear reduces thought, thought reduces anger, anger reduces worry.

Of all the emotions the negative emotions like guilt, worry, sadness etc. are the one's which lead to a large imbalance in the psychological and physiological state of a person/being. Below is a chart which lists the negative emotion area ---chakra and feelings or triggers related to it.

Emotion Area	Associated Chakras for improvement	Emotions/Feelings/Action arisen
Rejection	Root Chakra ( esp. Back), Heart Chakra	Abandonment, Judgment by Others, Self Abuse, Criticism by others, unable to accept oneself, conditioning from others.
Survive	Root Chakra	Fight or flight situations, life threatening situations, accidents, rape, violence, victim mentality, separation, family issues
Betrayal & Support	Root Chakra and partially Hara chakra	Betrayal by others, or betrayal of self , lack of support of parents or guides during childhood, lack of money/security issues, lack of emotional and financial support, violation of personal space
Guilt /Shame	Hara Chakra	Unable to accept oneself, judgment, guilty about pleasures of life, relationship issues, unable to accept the emotions in one’s life
Sexual issues	Hara Chakra	Sexual and or emotional frigidity, rape, unable to accept and receive love, molestation
Anger and Fear	Manipura Chakra Predominantly , Root Chakra	Rage, Anger at others and self, jealousy, violation of personal space, fear of losing control, demanding, allergies, worry
Grief/Sadness	Heart Chakra Predominantly and some elements of root chakra	Grief, Sorrow, Anxiety, aloneness, disillusion, shame, emptiness in heart, cruelty and meanness.
Burdened Responsibility	Throat chakra , the feelings imbalance the chakras up and below	Conflict b/w the heart and the mind, too much unwanted and not desired responsibility of others, taking higher responsibility
Lack of Expression	Throat Chakra Predominantly, heart chakra & manipura chakra ( front)	Lack of self trust, unable to express what one desires, speaking the truth or difficulty in speaking the truth
Negative Thoughts	3rd eye chakra , however Manipura & root chakra are also influenced	Negative or unwanted thoughts, frequent bouts of sadness, clinging to the impermanent

Hope the above helps in understanding and thereby healing the respective chakras using one or more healing modalities.

Baba Amte

" First you have to take the spear in your heart, then can you take the crown on your head "                                                                                                    - Baba Amte (1914-2008)

A Lawyer, a freedom fighter, a  social activist, messiah of the poor/downtrodden classes , a man of few words but great action- this is Baba Amte; the crusader of the prevailing injustice in the society. I first read about Baba Amte when i was in 3rd grade/standard. He has always been one the great humanitarians who have been my inspiration in some way or the other. 

Greatness of Baba Amte, a true social reformer :-

• Successful Lawyer and awarded with prestigious awards -Padmashree, Padma Vibhushan,  Magsaysay Award, Damein Dutton Award ( specific for leprosy), International Gandhi Peace Prize, UN Human Rights  and others
• Left his lucrative law profession to work for and with the rag pickers and sweepers 
• Worked as defence lawyer for the freedom fighters of " Quit India Movement"
• Baba ( when only 35 years old) after pursuing a leprosy related course opened clinics for leprosy patients .His work for leprosy patients and their health services to cure the deadly disease  is unmatched and speaks of his greatness.
• Bharat Jodoo Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari was the mission to promote integrity and oneness of the nation
• Narmada Bachao Andolan which was spearheaded by Baba was fight for the injustice to the locals during the building of Darovar Dam.
• Baba was the first one to initiate communication and care for the Madia Gond Tribal people. His contribution in opening hospitals with free service, school is commendable. The Lok Briadari Prakalp Dwakhana ( LBP Hospital) serves 40,000 or more tribals within a radius of 1000 km.
• He worked for the betterment and improving the relationship between India- Pakistan for Peace Missions
• Rescue centres for animals or animal orphanages.
• Baba's work and compassion towards the Dalits and improvising their situation and acceptance in the Indian society.
• Baba built the Anandwan for the welfare of people- hospital, school, blind and deaf school and many more. His son and his wife have been quite instrumental in taking his works to next level and promoting welfare and selfless acts for humanity.
• Gokul ( home for leprosy patients and orphans), Uttarayan ( free home for senior citizens), Sneh Savali ( treatment for leprosy), Sukh sadan, ASHA Yuvagram ( for dropouts who wish to pursue education again) are a few of the initiatives I am aware of by Baba from 1928- 1983.

Baba Amte- Muralidhar Devidas Amte

Learnings from Baba Amte, a true teacher :-

• To be humble 
• To be compassionate and tolerate
• To treat everyone human being equally- irrespective of age, caste, social status, religion
• To give and donate 
• To serve others especially the downtrodden classes /people and not consider it as an act of greatness or ego
• To perform selfless act.
• To be oneself and to do what your heart desires
• To be determined
• To help the needy so that they can help themselves

 We cant be miracle workers like Baba Amte but we can atleast attempt to learn something from his life and inculcate a bit of it in ourselves or our life ---this life, this place, this country , this world would be a better place !

 " Anyone can overtake Baba Amte. The only thing I have is my determination "

                                                                                                                 -Baba Amte 

Chakra Spins and Directional Energy

Root Chakra Spin is the Slowest and dense

As we know that one chakra tends to affect the other chakra , this is true also for the direction in which the chakra is spinning. It is sometimes understood that based on the gender or activities done on daily basis as either masculine or feminine in nature.The Chakra movements in a man may be different from that of a woman. This is also one of the reason of the magnetic pull between man and woman. Sometimes it is not necessary that the male and female spins are different in a couple, can be similar in nature and can produce twice as much energy, if both the male and female have negative or opposite chakra spin it can lead to replusion, eg: lower solar plexus chakra or man and egoistic or overtly competitive woman can be source of potential due to low chakra spin in one and increased energy/spin in other.
Typically the males are masculine and that is the reason why it moves in clockwise direction, whereas females are more emotional heart chakra is in clockwise direction

Chakras are centers of overall consciousness, perceptions, emotions, thoughts and ideas. Also the way how we are emotions and thoughts are our chakra movement will change accordingly. The moment we start doing things which are different w.r.t to the core element or nature of the chakra the spin direction changes

Typically the Mooladhara /Root Chakra and Crown Chakra will be horizontal in some way and rest of the chakras from Ajna to Hara Chakra will be vertical in nature. However for different people the chakras will be spinning differently either oblique, circle, oval , conical sometimes like wave or line. Ideally root and hara chakras have the slowest speed, from manipura on-wards the spin increases and the spin is highest is the brow or 3rd eye chakra.

Considering the above points below is the chart which gives an insight into the Chakra spin and movement :-

Chakra	Male spin	Female Spin	Energy Type	Movement Type	Example for spin change or movement issues
Root Chakra	Clockwise	Counter-Clock wise	Yang/Masculine	Outward	Security issues and in-turn getting worried , depression
Hara Chakra	Counter-Clock wise	Clockwise	Yin/Feminine	Inward	Not taking care of inner self or nurturing emotions, lack of creativity leads to blockage
Manipura Chakra	Clockwise	Counter-Clock wise	Yang/Masculine	Outward	Lack of self esteem, confidence, too much thinking
Heart Chakra	Counter-Clock wise	Clockwise	Yin/Feminine	Inward	Lack of care trust, self love
Throat Chakra	Clockwise	Counter-Clock wise	Yang/Masculine	Outward	Lack of expression and unable to talk to others  & internally sucking the feeling or words
Ajna /3rd eye Chakra	Counter-Clock wise	Clockwise	Yin/Feminine	Inward	Not seeing beyond the obvious, unable to plan, lack of vision
Crown Chakra	Union-Clockwise	Union-Clockwise	Unified Energy	Unified energy

Based on the above chart we can see that person who is ruled or focussed on elements of Hara ---Heart---3rd eye combination has more feminine qualities or has more elements of it in one's person. Hence women are more Yin  oriented. Similarly more focus on Root---Manipura---Throat chakra results in masculine qualities. Hope the chart helps in better understanding of chakra spins.
