Learn Reiki Have A Little Peace And Calm In Your World

July 30, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Learn Reiki

Wouldn’t it be great if you could help to soothe or lessen stress, anxiety and pain any time you wished with a calming and healing touch? If you learn Reiki, you can. It’s a toolbox in your hands anytime you wish to have a little calm and peace in your world. Learning to use Reiki lets you engage in self-care at any time and any place you could use a boost of positive energy. It also allows you to provide a healing touch you can use to help your friends, family members and even your pets find relief.

Healing Energy in Your Hands

Those who learn Reiki are taught how to connect with universal energy, or life force energy, and then channel it to themselves or others through the laying of their hands on a specific part of the body that needs the boost. When people’s life force energy is low, they often become ill or overly stressed. When their life force energy is high, they are generally both happier and healthier. Reiki can restore life force energy to the maximum capacity for maximum benefits.

Why Learn Reiki

The technique can be valuable for a number of ailments and situations that could benefit from a balancing of the body, mind and spirit. These include:

Alleviating stress
Centering yourself or others amidst the world’s chaos

Helping to relieve anxiety and pain, whether it’s from a specific cause or an overall feeling of physical, emotional or spiritual discomfort or unease

Helping to manage and prevent, as one part of your personal wellness program, chronic health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy, depression and cancer

Strengthening well-being and feelings of calmness, peace and serenity

Reconnecting with your higher self, making you more intuitive while eradicating the feeling that something’s missing from your life

Gaining a sense of inner clarity, purpose and direction

Rooting out and releasing energy trapped from past traumas, allowing you to move forward in self-development to become the person you were truly meant to be

Opening your mind to the deep desires in your heart, discovering the things you really need to become fulfilled

The same benefits you receive from self-healing through Reiki can be shared with others when you administer the technique on them. The act of helping others is another way to reap multiple benefits, an automatic byproduct of learning Reiki.

How to Begin

People of any age and background can successfully learn Reiki, and there’s no special knowledge, skills or experience required. The only way to properly learn Reiki is through a Reiki master, or someone who has attained the third degree or teaching degree of learning associated with Reiki.

Beginners start with the first degree of practice, which focuses on Reiki basics and hands-on administration. The second degree of training involves distant healing, and/or augmenting the hands-on technique with a mental connection. The third degree brings you to Reiki master status, the highest level of learning, traditionally available by invitation only. Reiki masters are the only ones who can teach Reiki to others.

Reiki’s traditional founder, Dr Mikao Usui, referred to Reiki as the “art of inviting happiness.” You’ll be able to help yourself and others embrace that happiness if you take on the mission of learning Reiki.

Reiki and Chronic Pain

July 28, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Reiki and Chronic Pain: Can Reiki Help the Chronic Pain Epidemic?

Reiki and Chronic Pain: Can Reiki Help Heal the Chronic Pain Epidemic?

Reiki and the Chronic Pain Epidemic

Chronic pain affects more than 100 million Americans, according to a report released by the Institute of Medicine. Another 10 million people suffer from pain on a near-daily basis in Britain, according to The British Pain Society. Those numbers are just for two countries. Imagine what the worldwide numbers are. There is no doubt, then, that chronic pain is a global epidemic that affects millions of lives.

Chronic Pain: Definition and Costs

Defined as pain that lasts longer than three to six months, chronic pain has become one of the most common reasons for seeking medical attention. In the same report, the Institute of Medicine found that, as of February 2014, chronic pain cost the healthcare system an estimated $635 billion each year. Most people who suffer from chronic pain are prescribed pain medications. Increasingly, however, alternative solutions like Reiki have also proven helpful. There is still a lot of confusion and lack of education regarding chronic pain, so understanding it is the first step in deciding on choosing the best treatment.

Pain Relief with Reiki

Understanding Chronic Pain and Its Effects on the Body

Some individuals think of chronic pain as acute pain that does not subside. This definition, however, does not quite capture its wide range of manifestations. Chronic pain is a blanket term, but not everyone who suffers from it will have comparable symptoms. According to WebMD, chronic pain may be mild or excruciating. It can also occur continuously or sporadically. While the pain may merely inconvenience some people, others may be completely incapacitated by the pain.

Chronic pain is often described as “burning,” “shooting,” “electrical,” or “aching,” and it can be accompanied by stiffness, soreness, tightness, and discomfort. Over time, it can lead to fatigue, moodiness, or sleeplessness. The source of a sufferer’s chronic pain can be difficult to pinpoint, since a variety of diseases may contribute. It may linger from an old injury, accompany the natural aging process, or even come from poor posture.

But chronic pain can do much more than just interfere with normal, day-to-day life. Researchers at Northwestern University found that it can shrink the brain by 11%, effectively speeding up the brain’s aging process by 10 or 20 years. The effects of chronic pain can also create a vicious cycle. With time, the affected nerves become more sensitive, to the point where even the touch of a feather can be painful.

Pain Medications Are Only Part of the Solutions

For many sufferers of chronic pain, medications can help the pain. For other patients, pain medications may not be the best alternative. For example, for many patients, painkillers may interfere with other medications. Despite their proven results, pain medications should not be the only solution considered when attempting to assuage chronic pain. Medication is only one of several alternatives to treating chronic pain.

Pain Relief Alternatives

Moving around more is the last thing that many chronic pain sufferers would think to do. Despite sounding counter-intuitive, consistent exercise is one of the most effective ways to prevent chronic pain, regardless of age. A Norwegian study from 2011 looked at 46,533 adults and found that the incidence of chronic pain among young and middle-aged individuals who exercised was 10-12% lower. Exercisers who were 65 years of age or older showed even better results.

The Chinese method of acupuncture may also help. A study from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute in New York, as well as other studies from 2009 and 2010, found that real acupuncture is more effective at relieving pain than no acupuncture or “sham” acupuncture. This finding seems to rule out the placebo effect that many cite when discussing acupuncture. Some researchers think acupuncture provides relief by reorganizing nerve pathways and releasing adenosine, which is one of the body’s natural painkillers.

Reiki and Chronic Pain…Could it Help?

In addition to other natural, non-invasive therapies, Reiki is becoming an increasingly popular option. Since Reiki is being offered in more private practices, hospices, and hospitals, more patients can benefit from the treatment than ever before.

According to AltMD, beyond signaling a physical problem, chronic pain can also stem from psychological and emotional disturbances. Reiki can resolve them by allowing healing energy to flow freely. The result is reduced pain and tension, as well as feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation. Unlike most other treatments, Reiki is a multi-purposed method that can heal both physical and emotional ailments. Through Reiki, some patients suffering from pain due to cancer, injury, or psychological or emotional distress have found relief where other methods were not successful.

Growing Evidence in Reiki Research

Some small studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of Reiki. They suggest that patients may use Reiki to find relief from not only the physical aspects of chronic pain, but also the anxiety that often comes with it. According to an article from the University of Minnesota, several studies found that Reiki treatments seem to relax patients, reduce fatigue and depression, and strengthen a person’s overall sense of wellbeing.

According to an article by Anthony Schifano on the National Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Association’s website, Reiki sessions have brought relief and helped individuals feel more balanced. He writes that patients who received Reiki treatment experienced “total relaxation, less tense muscles, and improvement in their range of motion.” One patient who suffered with fibromyalgia pain for years was able to stop taking pain-relieving medications after starting regular Reiki treatments.

Increasing Awareness in the Medical Community

Medical practitioners and patients, as well as researchers, are becoming more aware of the real and lasting proven effects of Reiki when it comes to treating chronic pain. Reiki succeeds because it works on a deeper level, influencing the flow of healing energy that promotes a sense of balance and leads to pain relief in patients suffering from chronic pain from a variety of conditions. Ongoing research and testimonials from patients have shown that an integrative, individualized approach works best. Chronic pain and its accompanying treatments are still being researched; Reiki is crucial for this research. When discussing chronic pain, combining medication with exercise, acupuncture, and Reiki may potentially bring about the highest level of pain relief.

Gratitude Can Have Deep Positive Affects On Health

January 9, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Since we are what we eat and what we think…here are some ways to enrich your life and health in this New Year. It’s all about your energy and how you use it, because everything is made up of vibrations of energy. Although energy is unseen (meaning its not a thing you can go to the store and buy, nor is the energy of Love for that matter); yet it is certainly palpable and you can feel its affects. It’s about time and wise for each of us to get in touch with what energies we are taking in…and giving out…especially now in the 21 Century.

Five Contemplations Before Eating:

1) This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, and much hard and loving work.
2) May we eat with mindfulness and gratitude so as to be worthy to receive this food.
3) May we recognize and transform unskillful states of mind, especially our greed and learn to eat with moderation.
4) May we keep our compassion alive by
eating in such a way that reduces the suffering of living beings, stops contributing to climate change, and heals and preserves our precious planet.
5) We accept this food so that we may nurture our brotherhood and sisterhood, build our community, and nourish our ideal of serving all living beings.– Recited before meals in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing, a Buddhist community that spans the globe

Eat in Gratitude and Thanksgiving:

Since researchers have concluded that expressing gratitude can have deep and positive effects on your health, we suggest that you may want to find ways to bring thankfulness into your preparation and eating of food. When you sit down to eat, whether by yourself or with others, you can take a moment to reflect on the gifts of food in front of you, the effort that went into bringing it to your table, and the blessings that abound with eating healthy meals.

The saying of grace is, at least in its original intent:
A way of connecting to our sense of gratitude and kinship with life. It is a means of caring for ourselves. It is a way to slow down, to relax, to let go of the busy-ness and worries of the day, and to be open to the food we’re about to receive.

It enables us to acknowledge and bond with the others with whom we are sharing the meal. It is a way to join with them, and all the people and elements that have made our meal possible, in a spirit of appreciation. It is not so much the words we say, as the state of mind and heart we evoke, that is important. It is a way to honor the deep human need to express our common unity in the mystery of life.

Benefits of Energy Healing

June 10, 2014 by Linda Crane 2 Comments

Are you living in flux all the time? In a stressful world, anxiety and depression are at the root cause of the problems. This is where Energy Healing transmissions can come to the rescue!

Dr Norman Shealy states: “For those seeking restoration of health, there are many options” :
Just to name a few: Massage, Meditation, Prayer, Yoga, Progressive Physical Exercise, Spiritual Counseling, Vibratory music etc.

In working with over 30,000 chronically depressed patients, most stated that they could not remember ever being happy. Less commonly, a major family problem occurred in the first 5-7 years of life. Thus, it seems that something very early in life led to depression and anxiety”.

Dr Shealy goes on to state that: “The first and most critical issue in being healthy is a nurturing conception, gestation and delivery. A child may be born physically healthy but without basic homeostatic ability. (Homeostatis means that we are constantly trying to achieve internal balance in our changing environment). All added stress may weaken the system further: Physical stress, Chemical stress, Emotional stress, Electromagnetic stress. Habits that contribute to homeostasis include: “Real” Food, Sleep, Physical Activity, and a Nurturing Environment.”

I’d like to give insight as to what is going on with health disorders and how to achieve internal balance in our lives.

Here is a short review.

Energy Healing can enhance your ability to function at a higher level and allow you to serve a greater purpose with a lot less negativity.

Relieving Stress and Anxiety through Energy Healing sessions (which can be performed from a distance or done in person) are blessings in many ways. These transmissions of energy can help you to achieve a higher level of functionality in many area of your life. When stress is lowered or relieved… you can be “yourself “again.

I would like to explain further, the difference between happiness and excitement and how the lack of this understanding can cause suffering. Excitement although it seems to energize us, the effect that excitement produces is only temporary, and it comes to us in energy waves of peaks and valleys. So you are feeling good, and then there is a let down feeling when the excitement has worn off. You feel up and feel that adrenaline rush, but this type of energy produces, up and down moods and feelings, which can cause a variety of stress and health related problems and conditions.Happiness is a feeling from within that you bring outward into your daily life. With happiness there is an opportunity for sustainability. The ups and downs from whatever circumstances you encounter; while feeling happy do not knock you off course feeling emotionally up and then down again. It is the vibration where you are going along at a steady pace. With this energy you do not feel extreme ups and downs, you are more neutral and in the flow of life; as opposed to the roller coaster lifestyle. You know the experience of feeling exhilarated and then when you calm down you feel depressed…or worse you crash. This is what I call a good recipe for unhappiness.Stress will always be a part of life. but you don’t have to have anxiety. If you think just because you are working with Spiritual pursuits you should not have stress in the life…well that is a misconception. Stress is necessary part of life, anxiety is not. Stress is the means of growth in human development. As long as you are alive you will be subjected to different forms of stress.

What one should focus on is how to have stress not affect you so radically, because through stress you evolve. Focus on the meaning this stress has in your life. Life goes in cycles. When you come out from the growth cycle which has its challenges and stressful situations; then if the stress has been viewed and assessed for the meaning it imparts to your life,…then you enter a cycle where you can flourish!! What you do not want to happen is to crumble under the stress. Then you can stay at a level that will nourish you, to achieve homeostatis.

Happiness is attained through Healing Energy transmissions which helps sustain you and what often occurs…is the fear of the future over time dissolved from ones life. This fear of the future lurks behind emotional stresses. But when you experience happiness you feel supported and nurtured and you return to your true self expression. From this state you begin to live with purpose.

Finding ones purpose in life is a great feeling and from there you can contribute in the world in your unique way. Everyone have a purpose and a way of doing something that expresses itself in your unique abilities.

You start feeling this happiness; which is generated from within, by just really getting in touch with ‘Yourself’. Through the process of Energy Healing; some people report that they experience this feeling of coming home to themselves for the first time in their life. Time goes by quickly when you are in the flow and you are not depleted from working longer than usual hours. You feel calm and whatever you are going through or whatever is going on in this world; you have trust in your self and you start ‘naturally’ experiencing right action in your daily life.

Through Energy Transmissions you will have a greater quality of life. For more information regarding Healing Energy Sessions please contact me at www.LindaCrane.com

It’s a great feeling when your life happens naturally on purpose and to be more consistently in the flow with whatever life brings your way. What I love about this work, is that there is never any rituals, rules or dogmas that you are asked to perform. There is nothing you have to do just relax during your healing session. What Energy Healing(s) can do for you is open the pathway to YOUR own masterful life. And that is Freedom.

You can look forward to a much healthier lifestyle where feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, feeling unfocused, and what to do next are not an issue. From this place you can contribute your gifts and talents to share in your own unique way.

Don’t Wait! Don’t Hesitate!

Stress Over Time Can Lead To Disease

November 5, 2013 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Your brain has a particular way of dealing with stress. Stress over time can lead to disease. Self- I- Dentity through Ho’oponopono is a wonderful method of dealing with stress in the mind and body.

Dr. Hans Selye in the 1950’s made the connection between stress and disease. He said that dis-ease is stress in physical form. The authors, Louise Hay and John Sarno, M.D as well as John Upledger, D.O (www.upledger.com), creator of craniosacral therapy, have also researched and proven the connection between stress in the mind and physical symptoms and disease. I have learned several levels of Cranio-sacral therapy and it does have ways of relieving stress in the body.

In the words of Dr Upledger:

“For example, a physician might cure hemorrhoids by surgically removing them. However, if the hemorrhoids are secondary to liver congestion due to chronic alcohol abuse, the problem will not be healed until the patient resolves the underlying reason for the alcohol abuse; one of my friends, a general surgeon once confided to me that he felt most of the surgeries he had performed (over 30 years) might better be classified as excisions of the vocal apparatuses of his patients’ inner selves. By removing certain organs or tissues, he believed he was eliminating the bodily voices that were trying to focus attention on the source of the problem.” (from Massage Today, June 2006; Truth: The Golden Thread, Part One, by John Upledger, DO)(3)

The “source” of the problem to which he refers is the emotional issue buried within the non-conscious parts of us. Disease develops because patterns of negative emotional stress we learn early in life repeat themselves to the point that the physical body breaks down. We also carry problems from past ancestral history from on generation to another. All aches and pains and “little” symptoms are our body’s way of talking to us. We address and permanently change the underlying emotional/body energy that is the original cause of the problem through the healing method Self -I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono.

Louise Hay, ( www.louisehay.com ) is an author who also has made the connection between the emotions and dis-ease in our bodies and lives. Her books list illnesses and their probably emotional cause with a new thought pattern to use as a mantra. From her book “Heal your Body A-Z”:

“I realized that if I had the operation to get rid of the cancer and did not clear the mental pattern that created it, then the doctors would just keep cutting Louise until there was no more Louise to cut. When cancer or any other illness returns, I do not believe it is because the doctor did not get it all out, but rather because the patient has made no mental changes and so just re-creates the same illness. We are often so blind to our own patterns, no matter how dire a person’s predicament seems to be, I KNOW that if he or she is WILLING to do the mental work of releasing and forgiving, almost anything can be healed. The word “incurable”, which is so frightening to so many people, really only means that the particular condition cannot be cured by “outer” methods and that we must GO WITHIN to effect the healing.”

In the healing method of Self-I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono I work with clients for clearing the problems that are held in the subconscious mind from all prior lifetimes. This is a deep forgiveness process and clearing method to heal known and unknown causes of mental, emotional, Spiritual, health issues, genetic and prosperity problems. Sometimes we cannot access all of this for ourselves because these problems go back several generations through our family’s relatives and ancestors. But the Divine Source knows just what the problems sources are when the petition is made. Your clue to the disharmony is your body’s voice and it is trying to get your attention. It is the body/minds way of letting you know there is a problems here and dealing with stress over time can lead to disease. This can be removed by the next step which is to clear it deep within oneself through Self I Dentity through Ho’oponopono.

Many Blessings to Your Health,
