CRYSTAL THERAPY

Crystals are powerful healing tools and you can us them to boost and help with your physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial health; and they can support your romantic life, help you and your children sleep better, amplify your healing and assist you in feeling happier and peaceful. Although they may seem like inert objects, crystals are both filled with energy and very much alive. They’re basically conduits of energy. That is why crystals are used in watches, radios, satellite communications and medical devices. Modern technology uses ancient natural crystals to boost radio waves and vibrational medicine using crystal energy.

Crystals are thought of as “new age” but they are not. They have always been a part of our old planet for a long time. Crystal Children (sensitive to crystal energy and/or psychic babies) are showing a knowledge wisdom that comes from the many lifetimes that crystals serve as jewelry, healing tools and have inhabitant of this plant for a long time. They are associated with ancient wisdom and heavenly caverns of mystery. Why? Because crystals are record-keepers of memories and knowledge about the earth’s spiritual healing energy and are members of the mineral kingdom in the physical world. We are entering into a new phase in our relationship with earth when working with crystal therapy.

If you believe, like we do, God is omnipresent everywhere thus the Creator is within the crystals. Crystals have a spirit that is alive and vibrates, all good and the desire to bring joy, healing and happiness to earth. Crystal therapy is an intuitive way of working with stones to effectively heal or enhance the energy flow for healing. When you work with stones you evoke the angel energy and guidance by channeling the divine light through you body. Clearly understand and keep in your mind that your intention stated by your tone will be the outcome and the crystal amplifies that energy. So the old adage, “ the power of positive think” holds very true here so be careful with your underlying intentions. Before you begin, take the time to center and quiet your mind and body. Ask yourself then “What are my intentions with this crystal?” Ego-based intentions can block healing. Let the light and love flow through you into the crystal and allow healing.

REIKI TREATMENTS

First lists talk about what REIKI is. It is pronounced RAY KEY. Reiki is a simple, natural method that promotes healing.

Reiki is a Japanese technique that is safe and works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promotes recovery. It reduces stress and promotes relaxation of the body to empower the healing process. It is administered by “laying on the hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us an is what makes us alive. When your energy levels are low, we are more apt to get sick or feel stressed. Higher energy levels we are more capable of being happy and more healthy.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that can help alleviate physical, emotional, mental and stress. It is a form of complementary natural healing tool used by trained practitioners in helping ‘tune-up’ your energy to it’s healthiest state allowing for healing to take place. This just one of several alternatives where marrying the eastern culture of and western cultures of medicine can manifest miraculous results. Reiki is not tied to any religion or particular spiritual belief and can never cause harm.

So what happens in a Reiki Session? During a session, the client lies down or is seated fully clothed. The practitioner next places her/his hands on or above the body and allow the REIKI to radiate from their hands into you. Reiki can help to greatly reduce alleviate chronic pain and stress which is a leading cause of disease and illnesses. In addition, Reiki can help alleviate the side effects of cancer patients undergoing cancer treatments and I have provide that link to the website in the Other Resource section of this website.Reiki can help relieve addiction and ease the physical withdrawals felt from chemical dependencies.There are also studies underway to test the affect of Reiki on autism patients and other similar disorders.

MASSAGE

Why is massage considered good medicine?

A growing body of research on alternative wellness, supports the health benefits of massage therapy for conditions such as stress, fibromyalgia, low-back pain and more. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) survey, 72 percent of individuals surveyed claim their primary reason for receiving a massage in the previous 12 months was medical (43 percent) or stress (29 percent). Find out how you can benefit from adding massage therapy to your health and wellness routine.

What is massage?

Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. There are many different types of massage, including these common types:

Swedish massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you.
Deep massage. This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries.
Sports massage. This is similar to Swedish massage, but it’s geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
Trigger point massage. This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.

Benefits of massage

Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.

While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:

Anxiety
Digestive disorders
Fibromyalgia
Headaches
Insomnia related to stress
Myofascial pain syndrome
Soft tissue strains or injuries
Sports injuries
Temporomandibular joint pain

Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection. And despite the benefits, massage is not meant as a replacement for regular medical care so we always recommend that you let your doctor know you’re trying massage. Be sure to follow any standard treatment plans you have receive from the doctor or currently have.

Risks of massage

Most people can benefit from massage. However, massage may not be appropriate if you have:

Bleeding disorders or take blood-thinning medication
Burns or healing wounds
Deep vein thrombosis
Fractures
Severe osteoporosis
Severe thrombocytopenia

Discuss the pros and cons of massage with your doctor, especially if you are pregnant or you have cancer or unexplained pain.

Alternatives for Recovery to Addictions:

Reiki healing can and will assist in your journey to recover and restore your health and balance. Above all, if you are recovering from an addiction remember, forgive yourself and move forward is the true key to your success.

RECOVERY TO DEBILITATING ADDICTIONS:

Reiki should not be considered a “cure” for alcoholism or addiction, nor replace traditional treatment, but it can assist with recovery and make it immensely more tolerable. In the same way that Reiki is used as a complementary treatment for disease, such as cancer, heart, respiratory and other disorders, it is a welcome addition to regular treatment and provides vital support to recovery efforts.

Alcoholism and addiction, whether to chemicals, food, nicotine, sex or people sets in motion a continual daily assault on the individual that is physical, mental and spiritual. Chemical dependency of any kind places a great deal of stress on body, emotion and spirit. Sufferers rarely eat or sleep well and are often too busy trying to “keep it together” to bother making even minimal efforts toward health and wellness. Maintaining a normal lifestyle in today’s busy fast paced stressful world, managing a home, a job, kids, coming out the COVID pandemic, and struggling economy is stressful enough for all of us.

Substance abuse or addiction multiplies the stress of day to day living many times over. Addicts have spent years, some decades damaging their physical and emotional selves. Coupled with the shame and embarrassment that accompanies addiction and the result is out of control emotional pain, serious depression, and devastating loss of self esteem.

Physical: Withdrawal symptoms can be unsettling or downright uncomfortable. Headaches, insomnia, muscle aches and pain, tremors, nausea, general anxiety and depression – all of these can be managed and reduced with the use of the gentle, noninvasive healing of Reiki.

Mental: Addiction is a downward spiral. Over time, those suffering with addiction will have convinced themselves that they are mentally weak, have no will power and are somehow inferior to other “normal” people. Negative self talk is a daily habit and toxic dialog will often run constantly in the mind. “You are such a loser, what is wrong with you? You can’t even manage to get through one day without….” Negative thoughts “play” continually like a bad soundtrack and hinder the recovery progress. It is vital to replace this with a constructive healthy alternative. Positive Reiki energy provides a very real sense of moving forward and taking important steps to recovery. With practice, negative self talk can be immediately caught and replaced with pure healing energy.

Spiritual: Addiction of any kind isolates and takes sufferers to a very dark, lonely place. Getting clean and sober is like coming back to the light. Finding new interests like Reiki or learning about crystals sparks our creative side and opens us up to experiences we never knew existed. Reiki will help release negative emotions, encourage self forgiveness and allow positive energy to flow and light to come in. Connecting to universal energy brings comfort and serves as a reminder that you are not alone.

A healing session or a self healing attunement of Reiki; can be especially helpful as it allows the recipient to practice self healing on a daily basis. The importance of this cannot be emphasized enough. Self healing will assist with treating the symptoms at the root cause. Poverty, abandonment, PTSD, mental/physical abuse, molestation or rape. These are some issues that caused the initially. It is fear, anxiety, hopelessness that drive an individual to pick up a substance to ease discomfort.

Well meaning physicians prescribe medication to treat the symptoms such as sleeplessness or anxiety and further compound the problem.Finding an alternate method to self medicating is essential. Use the power of Reiki energy and clear blocked energy that has occurred in the body over time along with the emotional healing Reiki offers, can be a powerful ally in releasing past trauma and healing the dis-ease that accompanies it.

Using crystals in combination with Reiki can enhance healing sessions. A stone (Amethyst) carried in a pocket, worn as bracelet or necklace, can be very comforting during stressful moments. Also crystals like citrine, carnelian and garnet are calming and support addiction. Black tourmaline is grounding and protects against negative energy. There are myriad of crystals to choose from. Finding the ones that work best for you is fun and interesting.

Reiki healing can and will assist in your journey to restore health and balance. Above all, if you are recovering from an addiction remember that you are a child of the universe and that you have a right to be here. Forgive yourself and move forward is the true key to your success.
