Now a days, people have a tight work-life schedule and cannot take out time for rigorous exercises.

According to me, Steam bath has now, hence, become a necessity for modern life.

  • In steam bath special cabinets are designed. Patient is placed under this cabinet.
  • It can eliminate body toxins by inducing perspiration.
  • It will also relive joint pains and other pains of the body.
  • It improves blood circulation and metabolism. It also makes your skin looks fresh young looking and healthy.
  • Various ailments like arthritis, muscle pains are also relived. It also helps in reducing body weight.
  • It is good for emotional health. It may not be good for patient of asthma during acute attack and pt with heart trouble.
  • Care must be taken for the person with sensitive skin. It should not be used in case of injury, wound, skin allergy and skin rashes.

Also have attached below a very useful info on Steam bath.

When someone undergoes a therapy which He / She is not aware about, It is very natural to have some ( …”a lot of”…) questions in mind but when these questions are carefully answered in proper, the person can start his/her treatment with ease. In this post, I have listed some Q’s & A’s which I have frequented across in my practice.

Q1: What is Reiki Therapy?

  • Reiki is a type of alternative medicine. Reiki means, Universal Energy, which flows from the universe itself.
  • In Reiki therapy, the belief is, that we are born with a unique immunity, meaning: our body has its own healing power and at that, we are pure, non-toxic.and our channels are opened.
  • But as we age, we are exposed to various toxins, impurities, stress etc. and all these factors leads to blockage of our channels. Hence, as a result, we get diseases/disorders namely mental, physical, or emotional.

Q2: What are Channels?

  • Channels are the Centers in our body (In Layman terms: just as Fan Regulators) and they control our bodily functions; Physical, Mental and Emotional.
  • Hence, it is of grave importance that they should be in proper balance.
  • Imbalance/Disturbance of Channels we will lead to ill-effects of our health (life).

Q3: If it is Universal, than how one can give it / receive it?

  • Every living creature constantly radiates different forms of energy. Hence, Energy flow between physical body and Universe is a continuous process. (For ex: Fresh morning breeze rejuvenates everyone, and the universal flow is so strong, that the recipient gets revitalized instantly.).
  • Reiki Master does not give/create any Reiki. Reiki is itself flowing in the universe. Consider Reiki Practitioner as a Pure Medium, which can channelize this energy to the patient.
  • Hence in Layman terms, we say, Reiki Practitioner gives Reiki and patient receives it.

Q 4: So, is it a systemic course?.

  • It is a systemic course and it, like any other system of treatment, also has stages which you have to go through.
  • After Stage 1 itself, person is able to heal oneself and also can treat others.
  • Stage 2 intensifies the system and enables one to give distant treatment.
  • And Stage 3 is divided in to A and B. After stage 3A one can become a Master but cannot give attunements. It is only after Stage 3B that, one is able to give attunements to others.

Q 5: Can anyone & everyone learn Reiki?

  • Yes, anyone can learn Reiki, but it takes time and lots of practice to channelize the energy and also it is upon practitioner to the extent he / she is able to do so.

Q 6: So how will you treat me? And what should I do to at the time of treatment?.

  • You need not do anything except relaxing yourself on the treatment table. I will be placing my hands on / or above few inches from the point which is to be treated and energy will channelize itself in your body.

Q 7: Will I feel some flow of Reiki in my body?

  • Well you may / or you may not possibly experience some sort of vibration, warmth or sleepiness. But if you do not experience anything, it does not mean you will not be benefited by Reiki. Benefits of Reiki will be for sure.

Q 8: What if I feel sleepy during the treatment session, should I sleep at that time?

  • Yes, sure. If you feel sleepy during the treatment session, it is a great sign because when Reiki relaxes your nerves/muscles, you would want to have a good sleep. In fact it is common spectacle in our practice.

Q 9: Is Reiki only for Acute illness or even Chronic diseases/disorders can be cured?

  • Reiki can cure Chronic, as well as Acute diseases. For cases, where Cure is very challenging, improvement to some extent is for sure.

Q 10: How long it will take for to see the result?

  • In Reiki therapy result depends upon 3 things in major e.g.
  1. Whether the Disease/Disorder is Acute or Chronic in nature.
  2. Its severity, and most importantly
  3. Body’s receptiveness towards Reiki flow.

Q 11: Does Reiki give long lasting result?

  • Yes, it does.

Q 12: Aha! So do you mean to say that my illness will never re-occur for life time?

  • Unless and until, imbalances are not created/occur in your lifetime environment, leading once again to the disorder condition, I would definitely say that it is possible to achieve complete cure by Reiki.

Q 13: Ok. Got it!. But will I have to consider any insignificant restriction in my food habits during Reiki?            

  • No. Never !. (But, if you are being treated for fever, it is best understood to refrain from Cold-natured food items)

Q 14: Do I need to stop my present treatment?

  • No need to restrict any treatment while undergoing Reiki Treatment. If any, Reiki will only have complimentary effects if taken along with other Treatments and improvement can be beyond expectation. But no side effects at all.

These are questions which I have been answering the most. Feel free to discuss/inquire about other questions/issue at ease.

I Duly appreciate  in advance, your feedback/suggestions/questions.

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, I found it surprising for many people, when i was able to detect the hidden causes of their troubles/suffering, whether realized/unrealized by them.

For ex : When a patient was being treated for Intense Headache, during physical examination, disturbances were found in Solar Plexus. She was suffering constipation and that was the reason for headache.

Apart from these, during other treatments, many such other feelings of anxiety/fear/mood disturbances/emotional upsets/willingness or unwillingness for the session/ etc… were noticed.

The reason being,  in Reiki Therapy, it is the Recipient’s body itself, which draws the energy and the Reiki healer , hence , becomes eventual to the actual disturbances. Moreover, if the Recipient is unwilling for the treatment, Reiki itself stops flowing, hence reciprocating the feeling.

Now-a-days more and more people are flocking to Reiki Therapist for their physical diseases and disorders.

At the same time, Benefits of Reiki Therapy are now considered among mental health practitioners and people with mental disorders also.

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, I have achieved good results in treating clinical depression, attention disorders, anxiety and panic disorders and even in cases of mental developmental delay with Reiki. Moreover, it is to be noted that where complete cure is not possible, even remarkable achievements helps us sail the way.

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.

This article is must read for everyone who has concerns for people affected with stammering. If you read this article thoroughly you will be able to understand the challenges he/she faces every day, by every means, i.e their emotions, their behavior & their dilemmas. This will not only make you understand your loved ones better but will also help you make aware of the “Moral Support” they require, which in turn, will help them achieve their dreams and goals and help you build successful relationships with them.

In my Reiki practice, during consultation, as well as, during treatment, I make similar recommendations to my clients and their family. Would love to share this link below:

During Sessions and Post Reiki Therapy:

2)      Frequent crying stopped and now she was more calm with reduced rigidity.

3)      She began to respond well when approached, started expressing views easily and more confidently.

4)      Her level of concentration increased, she even started watching news regularly.

 

DETAILS:

 

                                  My patient was an adolescent girl who was brought to me by her parents for treatment. During her first consultation the first thing which was very obvious was her restlessness; at the extent, she refused to stay seated at one place. She was totally un-cooperative and started crying when I interacted with her. She disallowed physical examination and tilted her head away every time.

Despite her strong rejection, I tried performing chakra’s examination. Disturbance was found in CROWN and THIRD EYE chakra mainly. I also decided to give reiki on THROAT and HEART chakra, as patient had communication problem and emotional disturbances. As autism is a neurological disorder, CROWN chakra; called as brain chakra, is the most important chakra to be considered for this treatment, as the brain possess power to control all our bodily functions. THIRD EYE chakra is located in between the two eyes and controls all emotional and endocrinal functions. It is well known for controlling anger and emotional disturbances. THROAT chakra is located in neck and is used to treat problems related to communication and speech. HEART chakra is located in heart and is complimentary to third eye chakra.

The treatment started as 45 minutes of daily DISTANCE REIKI, as she was not allowing me to treat her by placing my hands on her. After few sessions of distance reiki, she got convinced to accept Reiki by touch. She started behaving calm and her restlessness was reduced to a lot extent. Later The sessions started ending with her deep sound sleep every time.   

After few more sessions, her parents reported her reduced anger and easy expression of views. After few more sessions she started getting conscious of herself and tried being more vocal instead of earlier use of “SIGN” language. Her frequency of cries and emotional outbursts reduced phenomenally. She started choosing colors and one day I got amazing news from her parents that she has now started approaching outsiders too.

Continued reiki sessions also resulted in her increase of concentration. She became more alert of herself. She started following suggestions of her parents. She watched news regularly and tried to comprehend the new things.
