Filed under: Reiki (General Info) — 1 Comment
November 11, 2012

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, many people ask me, why do i need to have a Case-Taking Session and why do i need to examine their mental state along with their physical conditions ?

Also Many people are hesitant to go for Alternative Medicine, only for the reason that they do not want to discuss their “Emotions” with their Therapist.

Following article is a detailed explanation of all their queries about emotions and a detailed description of Organ and Disease relationship.

However, there are some differentiation’s with Chinese Medicine and the Authors Opinion.

But the theory of Organ and Emotions is beautifully linked.

If we read this article thoroughly, the concept of Psychosomatic Medicine and Body-Mind Theory will be easy to correlate and comprehend.

An abstract of the article is followed by Link to the Article.

Gradual Acceptance of Reiki Therapy in Mainstream Medicine – 4

Filed under: Alternative Medicines, Reiki (General Info) — 7 Comments
October 31, 2012

  • Reiki masters and healers are always trying to explain , scientific bases of reiki, it‘s heightened effectiveness on physical, psychological and emotional level.
  • Also, at the same time, there are increasing number of studies being conducted by scientists and researchers, and their research has proved time and again, that reiki does work at all levels.
  • Following article is “The Ultimate” answer to all questions raised on reiki and it‘s concept.
  • Another important thing about Reiki is that, It has place in alternative medicine from the time it is introduced. And now this therapy is gaining exponential momentum in mainstream medicine also, at all level, namely Physical, Mental, and Emotional.

http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/sciencemeasures.htm

Abstract of the article.

“In the early 1980’s, Dr. John Zimmerman began a series of important studies on therapeutic touch, using a SQUID magnetometer at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. Zimmerman discovered that a huge pulsating biomagnetic field emanated from the hands of a TT( Therapeutic Touch) practitioner.

Confirmation of Zimmerman’s findings came in 1992, when Seto and colleagues, in Japan, studied practitioners of various martial arts and other healing methods. The “Qi emission” from the hands is so strong that they can be detected with a simple magnetometer consisting of two coils, of 80,000 turns of wire. Since then, a number of studies of QiGong practitioners have extended these investigations to the sound, light, and thermal fields emitted by healers.

It is not widely understood that “brain waves” are not confined to the brain, but actually spread throughout the body via the perineural system, the connective tissue sheathes surrounding all of the nerves. Dr. Robert O. Becker has described how this system, more than any other, regulates injury repair processes throughout the body. Hence the entire nervous system acts as an “antenna” for projecting the bio-magnetic pulsations that begin in the brain, specifically in the thalamus.”

Two-three times during this half bath slightly colder water should be poured down the spine for a few moments. This treatment CAN NOT BE GIVEN TO ONE WHO IS VERY WEAK OR WHOSE RECUPERATIVE POWER ARE LIMITED. IT IS OF GREAT ADVANTAGE TO ONE WHO CAN TOLERATE IT COMFORTABLY.

  • During acute attack heat must be applied on the chest. Hot chest pack electric light heater or infrared generator will have a sedative effect.
  • Asthma being primarily a nervous disorder. It is often relived by prolong application of cold compresses or ice bag to the occiput or base of the head.
