Couple of weeks back, Male aged 30-35 years approached me to treat his stammer. He was a salaried professional and everyday was a struggle for him. He had to do multiple concalls within team, with clients and stammering just made it very difficult for him. It would make him less confident than he usually is.

Generally we prefer to hear an audio or speak with the person to assess the intensity of his/her trouble.

After Chakra examination and an approximate 30 minutes of case taking, I concluded that his recovery will be 50% faster than other patients. He had no family history of stammer. His stammer was completely situational and It would trigger in certain situations only, which makes him uncomfortable or anxious.

Stammer in some people is chronic, intense and continuous and in others, it is only situational.

It was decided that there would be a series of 15 sessions for 30 to 40 minutes each. During that time, he was asked to relax mentally as well as physically. No activity whatsoever. Mobile use was permitted to only listen to slow music of his choice.

I decided to treat his Third eye, Heart, Root Chakra along with his Throat Chakra. His other 3 Chakras needed more attention than Throat Chakra. Third eye Chakra is a confidence booster and it helps in relieving fear. Heart Chakra relieves stress and Root Chakra makes us more grounded and confident.

After 7-8 sessions only, he shared that his confidence level has improved. After 15th session, he confided that Reiki treatment has shown major improvement in his daily work life, and now he is less restless, less anxious and more confident in dealing with clients and his team.

[Please note: Since, in this case, Stammering is only the issue so there is nothing to share about symptoms before treatment and after treatment, as I have done in earlier articles. Also many people hesitate to speak directly to us or even in sending an audio clip, so we do not insist unless and until the patient is comfortable in doing so. ]

Although Reiki is enough as standalone therapy, sharing here some therapies which can add more benefit to it.

Note: this list of therapies can be helpful for self treatment and for practitioners also

Practicing Reiki in Nature with Fresh Air:

Best to practice Reiki in Garden/Balcony/Terrace etc. where one can feel energetic on all levels of Physical, mental and emotional levels. Moreover, when you are indoors, would help to keep area ventilated (open windows). This in turn helps in better removal of Chakra blockages.

Practicing Reiki with Sunlight:

Best to practice Reiki with early morning sunlight, which would help in revitalizing energy and provide much required nourishment. This can help in better balancing of Fire element.

Practicing Reiki with Breathing exercises:

Proper Breathing exercise helps in overall health and metabolism. Practicing Reiki with them helps in channeling energy better and maintain equilibrium

Practicing Reiki after drinking glass of water: 

Water is a good source of purification. Along with Reiki, it can improve in strengthening of digestive and excretory systems. In case of kidney stones and severe constipation, Reiki has been proved helpful where hydrotherapy alone was not enough.

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.

Hi,

Following article is a good source of information for health care providers and care givers of people with stammering and great treatment options are also described in this article, but finally, i would like to request everyone concerned that Stammering is an disorder and NOT just an emotional outburst .What actually should be done by us is Practice/Improvise our listening skills, because the person who stammers also has a heart which beats and a mind which thinks. They too have something to speak and that is what needs to be listened & understood.

ACUPRESSURE


  • Acupressure is the most ancient and simplest of various oriental therapies such as acupuncture, shiatsu, zone therapy and reflexology which are prevalent today.
  • Each of these therapies strives to produce healing effects on the internal organs of the body through well defined points on the body surface.
  • Long term use of this therapy can be beneficial in chronic diseases also. Though acute results can be obtained in aches and pains.
  • Though easy and simple it is an effective treatment.
  • Anybody can take this treatment by himself in the privacy of his own home.
  • It is completely free from any side effects.

MAINTENANCE OF HEALTH THROUGH ACUPRESSURE

  • Health can be maintained easily by taking a regular treatment on the particular acupressure points every day.
  • A short acupressure session in the morning helps to maintain the balance of the energies flowing in the body.
  • Acupressure helps to increase vitality and strength. A regular application of pressure on acupressure points TSU-SAN-LI & YANG-LING-CHUAN gives strength to the muscles of the legs.
  • The heart and respiratory system work with increased efficiency by pressing the points NEI-KUAN.

DIAGNOSIS OF THE DISEASE THROUGH ACUPRESSURE

  • When any organ of the body is diseased the points corresponding to that organ become tender and morbidly sensitive.
  • If some points hurts on pressing it can be said that there is something wrong with the organ connected with that point.
  • In acupressure even in the initial stage of the disease the diagnosis of the disease is possible with the help of painful points.
  • It also helps to diagnose a disease which is likely to occur in near future.
  • Though it is true that early and differential diagnosis of a disease is possible with the help of acupressure, the patient is advised not to attempt to diagnose his disease on his own. The work of diagnosis should be left to an experienced physician.

CURE OF THE DISEASE

  • The principle of acupressure is “TREAT THE PATIENT AND NOT THE DISEASE ALONE”.
  • Diseases cure by acupressure
    • Constipation
    • Acidity
    • Thyroid disturbances
    • All sorts of aches and pains
    • Stress and its related disorder/ psychosomatic disorder
