Reiki - Let go the ego

" Me, myself and I " makes us believe that one has confidence in oneself i.e: higher self esteem and good sense of our ego. It is the ego which gives us the self worth, self esteem, self confidence, belief in oneself and ability to perform actions with energy. However sometimes the ego becomes "Big", with exaggerated sense of self importance and attitude that we are bigger than others. Surprisingly this is applicable to Reiki healers or practitioners too.

It so happens when we start performing healing on others and we get positive outcomes or some esoteric presence or information or ability the healers unknowingly tend to consider themselves bigger than others.

It also happens that sometimes the healer tends to pick up energies of the healee not only from open aura or lack of  protection or grounding but also cause of  big ego.

Following are the things which as practitioner or healer one can re-look or consider:-

• Always know that you are just a medium, it is not your energy but universal energy which belongs to everyone
• One should not focus on the outcome, neither should one promise that a problem or ailment will heal in some X number days or hours
• Trust in the universal energy
• Try not to take responsibility that one has to for sure heal someone or an event under any circumstance. 
• Let go of feeling of burden, attachment, worth with healing event.
• Incase of  healing a dear one its more easier to pick energy  and be attached again cause we think its our moral responsibility to take the pain of the loved one. One should heal as a healer not as friend/loved one
• Not making personal decision to channel energy esp in a person
• Always know there is a higher force or energy bigger than our ego. Please if at any stage you have started counting the number of people whom you have healed and developed a sense a pride - then it is important to do a stop check and revisit the core learning of Reiki.
• Start healing your heart chakra especially with emotional healing symbol and similarly heal the Manipura chakra with emotional healing symbol.

It is important to know the healer is also a human being prone to good and bad attitude, it is just about taming the so called " big ego" .

Healing Headaches by Reiki

" Reiki love please take all my worries and
heal my head ache"

Headache is common phenomenon we all face for some reason or the other. Headache or cephalalgia is pain   anywhere in  the head or neck. Cephalalgia is Greek word which means "kephale" as in head and "algos" as in pain. There are different types of headaches arising due to different reasons commonly stress, tension, reaction, lack of sleep, lack of food/nutrients, sinus, pain in feet, varicose veins etc. So if we look at it most of the reasons of headache are located elsewhere or different chakras too and the head is the one which has to go through the ordeal !!!

There are different positions and meditations to treat headaches and other ailments. Here are the ways to treat a headache using REIKI

a) Tension headaches- Arisen out of stress or too much thinking. Heal the front and back third eye chakra, , heal the crown chakra, heal the temporal nerves on either end by placing two fingers and rest on the head. If it cause of too much work or burden heal the back throat chakra and shoulders.Additionally imagine cutting chords with the tension or problem by using imaginary swords or pins, or press hard the tip of the thumbs clock wise and ant- clock wise with your fingers.

Blue lace agate- very effective for treating headaches

b) Cold/Sinus and Flu headaches- Arisen out of cold and fever, this is when is body is removing toxins. Heal the root chakra- front and back ( if weakness),  healing by placing hands on both the eyes and fingers on the head, cupping both the ears and healing, heal the front heart chakra specifically for sinus and cheat congestion. This helps to promote balance in the body.
c) Lack of sleep or nightmares in sleep- Arisen out of  less sleep or disturbed sleep, this could be cos of too much activity in the mind or negativity around. Lie in a comfortable position and let your body loose, take deep breaths, heal the crown chakra with specifically emotional healing symbol for atleast 5 min, heal the eyes and centre of the head by placing your palms, heal the front and back third eye chakra, after this imagine white and blue light surrounding your head and subsequently your whole body. Additionally if you think this is okay you can try--- place a tumbler of water under your bed, place a knife below the pillow, take you leather shoe or slippers reverse them and keep it under your bed.
d) Healing reaction headaches- This is due to body's reaction due to healing sessions of any modalities. Heal the front and back root chakra, front and back manipura/heart chakra and the front third eye chakra. Best have lots of water and take enough sleep.
e) Migraine Headaches- Arisen out of migraine. Heal the front and back third eye chakra, Heal the manipura chakra- specifically liver, preferably for 4-5 days at a stretch atleast.Additionally usage of specific oils, basil leaves eaten raw, basil oil rubbed, lavender oil, mixing lavender and basil oils, lemon oils.

Specific foods in diets  for treating headaches ( my experience not proven) -  Coffee, almonds, potatoes, spinach , milk with sugar, avoid cold drinks and foods,

 Crystals for headaches-  "amethyst" ( to be used after checking the spin of the chakra), favourite and most effective " rose quartz" , "moonstone" ( check moon cycle by calendar or charts or tarot preferably), "blue agate" ( very good), lapis lazuli, opal, jade and ever lovely -- "QUARTZ".


Take care
