Aside
Filed under: Reiki (General Info) — 2 Comments
September 2, 2018

This article is intended for everyone who has no idea of how Reiki can be done in person by keeping Reiki therapists as well as patients point of view.

When a patient comes to a therapist,

  • 1st thing to be kept in mind is Be an Active Listener: Request introduction of the patient which requires medical history and chief complains about which the patient has arrived. Many times, mental status examination of the patient is the key. (Note: if the patient wants to avoid sharing few things, it must be overlooked).

In every case, comfort of the patient is the 1st priority.

  • After case taking, request for medical reports related to as well as not related to complains shared by the patient. Sometimes what is being shared is a symptom and not a proper cause of ailment.
  • Further, if the patient needs someone as an attendant during discussions, it should be very much allowed to make the patient feel comfortable.
  • Therapists behaviour should be polite and in a respective manner.
  • Next, a comfortable resting place should be made available to ensure patient is at ease.
  • Before Chakra examination, therapist needs to have a buy-in from patient for their understanding of the therapy and any questions should be amiably responded to. Refer link here…. https://curesbyreiki.com/2013/02/03/frequently-asked-questions-faq-about-reiki-therapy/
  • Chakra examination needs to be performed before coming to any conclusion for treatment.
  • Before treatment, patient should be made aware of sensations that they can experience and healing crisis (process of body purification) and what can be expected in short/long run.
  • Hands can be placed either on the Chakra points to be treated or 1-2 inch above particular Chakra. (Note: In-person Reiki vs Distance Reiki: In Distance Reiki, treatment can take place without patient being physical present)
  • Length of the session should be anywhere between 30-60 minutes depending on the convenience and requirement of the patient.
  • After the session is compete, Therapist as well as Patient should share their experiences and their expectations for the longer course of treatment.
  • Depending upon receptivity and severity, it might take more than 1 session for the patient to experience the result. This should be shared upfront with patient to keep transparency in your treatment.
  • During the complete course of treatment, patient also needs to be transparent and share experiences and changes to therapist.

Frequently Asked Questions – Part 2

Filed under: Reiki (General Info) — Leave a comment
March 12, 2023

Like other systems of alternative medicines, in Reiki also there are many misconceptions

Following article is an attempt to address all those questions.

No. 1: In Reiki, some sort of exercises or heating pad are suggested – No. In Reiki, there is no use of any equipment. It is a method which directs energy to recipient.

No.2: Before receiving Reiki, it is necessary to believe in Reiki and have faith in it – No. You need to be a believer of Reiki, as it is not a religious practice. In fact, to address this issue, many animal studies have also been conducted to prove its effectiveness which once again has nothing to do with belief in Reiki.

No.3: Reiki is for mental health only and it does not work for Physical health – No. Basis my personal experience as a therapist, Reiki works on overall health.

No.4: In Reiki, acute(immediate) results are not possible – No. This is also not true. Results are based on intensity / severity of immune system and whether or not, disease /disorder is chronic or not. This is similar for all systems of treatments.

No.5: If you are considering Reiki therapy, you will have stop all other treatments – No. In fact, Reiki is one of the best complementary therapies. No need at all to stop any existing treatments.

No.6: There are few side effects in Reiki as loose motion / skin rash / vomiting / running nose, etc – No. The truth is completely opposite. Basis Reiki’s energy, body heals itself and process of purification starts.

No.7: Reiki healers have powers to influence / hypnotize mind – No. They are not magicians. In fact, Reiki helps you regain your own mental ability and wisdom by Chakra regulation / balancing.

Any kind of misconception needs clarification and it is important to research on subject rather than believing what you come across as hearsay

If you come across any such doubts and need clarifications, feel free to reach out to me on dr.tarafakhri@gmail.com.

How Reiki helps in Suicidal Tendencies

Filed under: Mental Disorder, Neurological Disorder., Reiki (General Info), Suicide — Leave a comment
January 14, 2018

Pain & Stress are part of our life but if it becomes chronic, it turns into depression. An untreated depression can lead someone to have suicidal tendencies. Sometimes, it is absolutely okay to feel sad or disappointed, but when you have an impulse to harm yourself, you should take a back-seat and consider sincere professional assistance / treatment.

Few years back, I came across a patient who showed signs of suicidal tendencies. One female about age 30 was brought to me by one of our common friend. I was informed that the female has attempted suicide just past night. I had no detailed information regarding her depression or anything else to substantiate her agony but she was assured by my friend to get proper counselling and treatment.

During her consultation, she was quiet, did not speak much and was very much disinterested in what was happening around herself. Her depression was markedly noticeable. I requested her to feel relaxed and comfortable and started my Reiki session beginning with Crown Chakra, Third Eye and Heart Chakra in that order. It was a long session of about 90 minutes. At the end of the session, she was feeling relaxed and even laughed at one of the ice-breaker jokes which i had thrown across.

A t the end of the session, she confessed that she was not sure how Reiki would help her get relaxed and was just toeing the line on insistence of our common friend. Moreover, she assured us full heartedly that she will never ever think of self harm and would henceforth start indulging in practices which make her happy and occupy her time. Also she was grateful in telling me, that going forward, even if she comes across any low point in life, she would surely seek for assistance and treatment, rather than attempting something life threatening.

On a personal note, I was very happy that a single Long Session of Reiki, helped someone regain senses for their life!!

While pondering over this case now, it makes me realize that there lays a strong message underneath in this case for each and every one of us. Whatever we have come across, the pain, the moment, the low point of our life, all of this can be set aside by being alert to oneself and by loving oneself. (Instances where you cannot lift yourself up, one should always get connected to someone and seek for advice)

Treatment for Speech Disorder (Cure for Stammering)… Part 2

Filed under: ENT Disorder — Leave a comment
February 12, 2017

What is Stammer and what are its causes ? Stammer or Stutter is not the disease itself but the condition or the symptom caused by  a disease / disorder. Causes for stammer and its intensity are individualistic.

Causes can be purely genetic, psychological or due to some sort of brain injury. Associated conditions with stammer that I have come across in my practice are depression, anxiety, lack of self confidence, frustration or so on….

Social issues they often have to deal with include humiliation, ignorance, bullying at workplace and school and much more. Family and care giver role is of significant importance in maintaining one’s self confidence and self esteem.

I have listed few suggestions for family and care givers as below:

  1. Stammer doesn’t mean that they have nothing to say. They have right to express themselves and speak in their own words. So, do not be hasty and take some time to listen to them.
  2. Don’t try to complete their sentences by yourself. Don’t burden them by your interpretations like.. “I understand. Do you mean to say that………!”. You might feel that this might be helping them out but in fact you take away their chance of speaking out on their own.
  3. Stay with them whenever and wherever they need you and provide adequate emotional support to them.
  4. There are number of therapies which are complimentary with Reiki in this condition,
    1. Martial-arts therapy : Use of Vocal chord is enhanced when someone practices skills of Martial arts.
    2. Auto-suggestion therapy : Type of meditation, where one is taught to give commands/ directions to himself.
    3. Homoeopathic medicine
    4. Animal assistant therapy : keeping parrots and encouraging your child to repeat its word can also be helpful.
  5. Try to find alternate words for words that are difficult enough to pronounce. For example, if someone has concerns for spelling letter “X” in word Box, try using word Carton and demonstrate its size/shape.

What is Reiki !

Filed under: Reiki (General Info) — Leave a comment
January 21, 2017

If one is familiar about concept of energy of 5 elements namely Sky, Air, Fire, Water & Earth, for them Reiki will be easy to understand. Since thousands of years, knowledge of these 5 elements is discussed between generations and passed from one to another, and as we all know that our body and mind are governed by these 5 elements and these all 5 elements has to work in harmony to maintain balance and equilibrium. Any kind of imbalance out of these 5 elements, can cause disturbances in our life and health ?

Like these all energies, Reiki is also an universal energy that can harmonize and help remove/reduce imbalances.

How Reiki works ?

In any such disturbances of energy, our body / mind looses its own ability to heal itself which is ingrained in our system since birth. Reiki helps in increasing body’s ability to heal itself. It nourishes tissues and cells and assists in natural healing process through detoxification.

Treatment for Attention Deficit Disorder (Cure for ADD)

Filed under: Mental Disorder — Leave a comment
September 11, 2016

Symptoms of the Patient before Treatment:

  • Unable to concentrate
  • Lack of Focus
  • Extremely forgetful
  • Absent-mindedness & Dull
  • Easy irritability
  • Very less communicative

During Sessions and Post-Reiki Therapy:

  • Increased concentration. Patient started paying attention to everything.
  • Gained alertness and presence of mind.
  • Reduced irritability.
  • No difficulty in remembering things

My patient was 23 years old male. He was referred to me via a family friend. During consultation, he was accompanied by his father. One thing I noticed was that he didn’t utter a single word about himself. His concerns were reported by his father. Patient had not received any psychiatric diagnosis. Family didn’t see mental health clinic due to social stigma attached to it. Upon chakra examination, I came to know that heart chakra was also disturbed and that was an indication of emotional issues. Tried to communicate with patient, but he was not responding at all.

I decided to treat his Crown and Third Eye chakra for concentration, focus, alertness and so on. Then as I noticed that patient was quite reserved, I treated his Throat and Eye chakra also. Session length was 60 minutes on daily basis. Right from 1st session, patient experienced deep sleep during treatment. I decided to give 20 long sessions and rest to be based upon result. After just 2-3 initial sessions, I came across few more details from one of his family member, that person also had a tendency of not feeling home at his own house, he preferred to stay alone when at home, and felt more comfortable with outsiders, very less expressive and doesn’t show any concern or emotional attachment after his mother’s death. Basis further inquiring about his childhood days and time before that, it became clear that my patient was suffering from pre-natal trauma. He had some emotional issues which his mother had suffered during her conceive.

Now, things were pretty much clear. This was the case of emotional trauma & I had to go for trauma healing. First he had to be treated for his trauma and then rest would follow automatically. I decided to go for 10 more sessions by adding Root Chakra to his treatment. Only after 3 sessions, patient began to respond. He began sharing experience about his session as well some small talks. After 6th session, patient started sharing voluntarily that, he was thinking of joining a new course which is required for his career. And by 10th session, he shared that before few days I was nervous about my career, was upset about my job performance and worried about future, in general. Now I feel confident about my future and surely will achieve something. I have regained my concentration and focus, am more alert and have joined course and doing well in same. Treating trauma helped alleviate his other concerns of life too.

Treatment for Neurological Disorder ( Cure for Migraine )

Filed under: Neurological Disorder. — 1 Comment
May 18, 2014

Symptoms of the Patient before Treatment:

1)      Display of white spots in front of eye before migraine attack started.

2)      Extreme and unbearable headache since beginning of migraine attack.

3)      Hypersensitivity to light and noise.

4)      Frequent bouts of depression and cries.

5)      Wanted to confine oneself to dark and closed room.

6)      Experienced sleeplessness and required constant sedation during migraine attack.

 

During Sessions and Post Reiki Therapy:

1)      Started feeling calm and relaxed.

2)      Hypersensitivity to light and noise was greatly reduced.

3)      No more sleep depravity, stopped frequent cries and felt no more bouts of depression.

 

My patient was a 42 years old housewife. In first meeting she informed me that she has been diagnosed with migraine. On examining her medical reports, I inquired, about her current symptoms and intensity of pain. During her case taking, I came across many important facts :  A: Painful personal history and B: Family disturbances, and hence the struggles faced both in past and present.

Her expression of grief when discussed, was as follows: “I suffer extreme headaches; these attacks are frequent and are long lasting. These episodes are very, very painful, and debilitating and sometimes come with a hammering sensation. She continued, “I cannot tolerate light, and I just close all windows and doors of my room, and I make it completely dark. I cannot even open my eyes freely due to extreme heaviness on eyebrows. It remains this way for 3 to 4 days in a stretch”.

As migraine is a disorder of the nervous system, In this case, I decided to give Reiki 1st on the Crown Chakra accompanied by Reiki on 3rd Eye Chakra. But as treatment of migraine involves treatment of multiple organs, so I then went with complete “7 Chakra treatment”. Each session was carried on daily basis for 30-45 minutes. On her fifth session, I heard some success wherein she reported having a fresh mood since last 2 days. From then on, each and every session rang positive bells wherein the patient reported gradual reduction of her grave symptoms. She could now enjoy deep sleep. She was now not intolerant of noises and started staying more in open. Gradually her tormenting headaches started reducing and later she expressed how she could now enjoy her life without migraine.

Unnoticed and Ignored Benefits of Reiki Therapy

Filed under: Reiki (General Info) — 5 Comments
December 8, 2013

It is well known fact that Reiki Therapy gives wonderful result in all health diseases/ or disorders regardless of it being on a mental, physical or emotional level.

Everyone knows that it is a drugless therapy and it does no harm, but my intention is to draw reader’s attention towards most unnoticed, ignored benefits of this wonderful therapy.

  • No.1: Individualization of treatment. Which means to treat a person and not a disease/ or disorder.
  • No.2: A Reiki Therapist will treat the patient on all 3 levels (i.e. mental / physical / emotional) at some time by treating his/her Chakras.
  • No.3: Reiki Therapy has no contradictions to any other treatments, but at the same time it is complementary with Alternative and Conventional medicines.
  • No.4: There are no restrictions on food intake.
  • No.5: Reiki Therapist also provides stress counseling/coherence therapy.
  • No.6: There is no social stigma attached to getting treated by a Reiki Therapist like with some other alternative therapies / psychiatrists, as A Reiki Therapist can conduct a routine session with Arthritis patient and next with a Depression patient.
  • No.7: You yourself can go for Reiki attunement, and can start your own treatment.
  • No.8: Last but not the least, now Reiki is gaining its place in colleges of alternative medicine in and out of India also.
