For years, New Age therapists have yammered on about the body's electromagnetic field, and how important it is to maintain an energy flow around your body that is not obstructed or out of balance. Many point to the ancient Chinese Masters, who they believe recognized the necessity of having a free-flowing energy system to retain good health. When this electromagnetic field is blocked, they say, chaos in the body can ensue. This happens when the everyday stress we encounter creates specific "patterns" in our body which obstruct it. People whose basic life force energy is blocked, they maintain, can suffer not only physically, but spiritually and mentally as well. One way to unblock it,[..]

Hand chakra centers or points can be very useful in healing work, and a lot of people learn about them when they are studying energy work such as Reiki. A lot of them focus on the opening of this chakra point and running the Universal energy out of this portal. But have you ever worked on opening this chakra point to be able to heal yourself and work through this area if it is blocked or closed. With classes and courses today online and all over the place, they are teaching about the hand chakras with energy work, but a lot of them do not cover how to effectively work with this chakra point. Let me say again, the hand chakras, are a center point in the palm of your hand that most energy[..]

It's probably no surprise that most people who are becoming interested in crystals for magic want to know which ones will help them out with money, love and health. Generally, quartz--rose quartz in particular--and topaz are thought to draw love into your life and open up your own heart and mind to receive it. Fire opals and peridots are thought to be particularly effective in attracting wealth. As for diamonds--sorry, folks, all they do is take your money. Actually, that's not quite fair--they are thought to be able to enhance psychic energy and spiritual awareness, but only if you can meditate on a diamond crystal without any worldly thoughts of its value inhibiting your use of the[..]

Everyone wants change and in all areas of their lives. Some want this for their jobs, while others are focusing on their love lives, and yet others want pretty much everything in their life to change. How can you increase the rate of change when everything in life has its own gestational periods? Let me explain it this way for you. If you plant a carrot seed you can roughly estimate that it will take around seventy days from the day you plant this to the day it is ready to eat. This is a gestational period - from beginning to end. But what about your mental and spiritual seeds that you plant, the things you are wanting to have happen and change in your life right now. There are no set[..]

The Earth's consciousness is supporting humanity's awakening to the re-discovery of ancient and forgotten healing arts, such as the utilization of crystals. Crystals are members of the mineralogical kingdom and therefore are universal energies that allow one to contact and synthesize these individual energies for healing and integration. Each crystal contains their own "personality" and can be utilized in unique ways to assist understanding of the nature of existence on the Earth plane. Crystals are nature's gift to man and are found in all shapes, sizes, colors, and composition. They each have a unique vibrational resonance due to their varying mineral contents, their inherent geometry,[..]

The majority of the human race has some form of animal companions in their life, and at some point in time they get hurt, injured, into fights or even worse start having a hard time with old age. In the injury and illness areas it can effect us as if they were our family members, as we love them unconditionally and do not want to see anything happen to them. When one of your animal companions becomes ill or injured next time you can help ease these issues, if not heal them completely, before even making it to the vet's office. Two wonderful techniques for this are combination of Rose Quartz Crystal Healing and Reiki. Rose Quartz is a wonderful crystal to help heal injuries, illness and[..]

Drawing out negative energy can be very helpful for most people, especially those who have problems with grounding and centering issues or they just don't believe in the work being done. Crystal healing is along the same lines of spiritual and energetic type of work with grounding and centering issues, but for some reason some people are a bit more open to holding a crystal a stone in their hand they are with focusing and visualizing with other types of energy work. It is something that they can feel and physically hold in their hand, and sometimes this is enough to break through that conscious barrier that is placed within their mind that says all alternative types of healing do not[..]

Crystal healing, using chakra stones, has been a primary form of energy medicine used by shamans and healers worldwide for thousands of years. If a medicine kit is properly formulated, it will deliver the best in crystal healing with the most potent chakra stones to open, clear, and balance the body's energy centers. Most kits are designed to be worn in front of the Heart center and are loaded with specific chakra stones that deliver a power punch to send negative energies packing. I have used the following crystal healing "recipe" with success for years. Any good medicine kit should contain some combination of what I call "the big three" gemstones: Black tourmaline, black onyx, and[..]

This article discusses the way crystals can be used in a Feng Shui practice. Often, a Feng Shui purist will either gloss over this information or entirely ignore the benefits of crystals when lecturing or working with clients. I strongly believe in the use of crystals and, if used properly, feel they greatly improve the flow of Qi (energy) of most environments. First, I would like to take a look at some of the various crystals that I and some other Feng Shui practitioners like to use when attempting to refine the basic elements of Feng Shui and produce faster and more accurate results. I will categorize the crystals into groups according to the specific situations in which they are most[..]

People seeking a deeper spiritual meaning in their lives have found Kriya yoga. Yogananda brought Kriya yoga to the West in the 1920's. He established the Self-Realization Fellowship as a total yoga experience that addressed the spiritual as well as the physical, all most other western yoga disciplines concentrate on. A Kriya yogi, as described by Yogananda, mentally moves his life energy around the six spinal centers - the medullar, dorsal, lumbar, coccygeal, cervical, and sacral plexuses. These each relate to the twelve zodiac signs. This subtle energy revolution progresses his evolution, and it is said that this 30 seconds of Kriya is equivalent to a year of natural spiritual[..]

When we begin our awakening process, it can be a bit bewildering. Sometimes we think we are imagining things; then we do not know who to talk to about what is happening to us. If we do find someone with whom to speak, we may not know what questions to ask. I mentioned in a previous article that at times your growth can feel like two steps forward and one step backward as we consciously pursue our own evolution. Hang in there, such confusion does pass, or perhaps gets easier to handle is a better statement. I have gone through some of this myself. First comes the surprise that there is more to life than eating, sleeping, drinking or whatever physical experience interests you. Your delight[..]

Energy healing is a holistic (meaning good for mind and body) healing technique that can eliminate the resistance, stress, tension, and imbalances that cause problems, sickness, and blocks that prevent people from living their lives how they want. It uses the concept that the body emits and absorbs energy in tandem with its environment. Energy healers use a variety of methods to impact this energy, including touch, crystals, and meditation. Once the blocks and resistance, which often come from within in the form of fear or feelings of unworthiness, are removed there are tangible, positive results. Personal breakthroughs often come in the following forms:o Physical healingso Stress[..]

Over the past ten years, the world of Western Reiki has undergone rapid change. In fact, not since Iris Ishikuro disobeyed Mrs Takata by making the Master Level commonly available has anything of the like happened (Mrs Takata had decreed US $10,000 to be the going rate for the course, thus putting it out of most people's reach). While there are several plausible reasons for this change - the advent of the Web, a growing number of teachers etc. - the principal cause is almost certainly the rediscovery of Reiki's Japanese heritage. This has led many practitioners to question much that was previously taken as 'gospel', and delve more deeply into a practice they soon learnt was not just a[..]

Reiki is a healing system that uses laying of hands on a person who wants to be healed. The practitioner of Reiki is not the healer but merely the channeler of the Universal Life Force Energy, or Reiki. Practitioners of Reiki tout that the practice is limitless, repressed only by the limits the person to be healed places upon themselves. The healing that occurs is one of self-development, eliminating bad habits or patterns, accepting change, accepting healing and opening up to possibilities within oneself. Reiki operates on the level of the underlying force that unites all things, the Chi or Ki, this force that vibrates and flows through all matter whether it is physical, mental or[..]

If you are looking for a great way to transform the struggles of everyday life, one of the best ways is to engage in the Japanese practice of Reiki, and use the accompanying Reiki symbols. If you are not familiar with Reiki, it is often used as a form of alternative medicine, and involves whole body and/or localized body treatment combined with meditation to heal both physical and spiritual ailments. These may be caused by environmental or emotional disturbances, or many other forms of distress. Reiki symbols are used to complement the practice of Reiki. These symbols are believed to help you achieve a higher state of awareness, thus opening your mind and enhancing the flow of what is[..]

Energy healing is an ethereal science. Among holistic treatments, it is one of the fastest growing techniques. Since the beginning of man, this healing technique has been considered sacred and was used as a serious method of healing from illness. We are all connected to the energy of the universe. And, this is the main force behind spiritual healing. It is a place to which we all have a connection. It is not difficult to use this healing technique. But, as with anything that is worth its weight in salt, it requires practice and dedication to learning its delicate nature. We as humans have the power that we need in order to heal our bodies from illness. If we provide our bodies with the[..]

Today you may come across many different forms of Reiki. When the Reiki attunement is performed the energy of the attunement makes the Reiki symbol work as a stimulus for channeling a particular kind of energy which the symbol represents and which is present during the attunement manifests as a response. Let us have a look at the 4 commonly used symbols used in Reiki to facilitate healing and raising positive energies.o Cho Ku Rei This is the symbol of Power. It is used to facilitate or increase the flow of Reiki energy.

The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel.  The chakras are the seven primary distribution points for the energy in the body that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.  They are also called the psychic centers of consciousness.  Migraines may be a side effect of a blocked chakra or unbalanced chakras.  Migraine can be eased, and possibly cured, without the aid of the prescription drugs by clearing and balancing the migraineurs chakras.

We all know that massage therapy is a form of natural healing medicine, but did you know that there is still an abundance of other natural health disciplines from which to choose?  One of the many unique examples of alternative medicines in practice today is iridology.  The "eyes have it," or so it may seem, as professional iridologists peer into your iris to determine specific markers that may signify disorders in the body.  Similar to the theory in reflexology (foot pressure massage), particular parts of the iris are purportedly interconnected[..]

Crystal wands are not normally formed naturally. Single point terminators will sometimes be rounded on the base, but usually they are cut from larger crystal blocks. Rounding the base allows it to be used as a massage tool directly on the skin. You can use crystal wands to ease tension anywhere in the body. They work well on the head, feet and hands. Another use for a crystal healing wands is scanning the aura to detect blockages The Crystal Wand can be used to remove the blockage in a number of ways.

I grew up in an environment of lack. At the tender age of 5, I remembered watching my mother looking all over the house and under the sofa set in our small living room for a five cent coin to pay the vegetable vendor - vegetables that she had wanted to buy to cook our dinner. She didn't find the five cent but the kind vegetable vendor gave her the vegetables anyway. To save money, I always packed my food to school. This way, I don't need to buy from the school canteen. Most time it was just two slices of bread and a bottle of water. For a long time I grew up believing that I have to work hard to become rich and that this was the only way to achieve wealth. That was what my parents taught[..]

INTRODUCTION Spiritual affirmations are positive, statements of intention, that facilitate manifestation. This particular Biblical Psalm used as spiritual affirmation both protects us and connects us with our Higher Faith, and therefore our Higher Destiny. It has been traditionally recited for thousands of years when one desires attaining a calm certainty during life's challenging transitions. To receive the greatest benefit, we allow a few minutes to calm ourselves down, centering ourselves and creating our own sacred space, before the recitation of the following affirmation. Psalm 23 - Psalm of David Traditional Translation "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to[..]

Fasting can help you to renew your body and your mind and to deepen your awareness of the spirit within you. On a physical level, as your body gets rid of toxins and has the opportunity to renew and recharge itself, many even seemingly incurable health problems will simply dissolve. Dr. Oda Birchinger who supervised over 70,000 fasts, pointed out that fasting can heal and help rheumatism in the joints and muscles, circulatory problems, skin diseases, allergies, respiratory problems, eye problems, to name just a few. Dr. Tanner who fasted for 53 days when he was 77 years old discovered among other things that his thin, grey hair was replaced with new black hair, the same color he had as a[..]

Shamanic healing is a spiritual and medical practice based upon the belief that all healing includes a spiritual dimension. Shamans enter altered states of consciousness to communicate with other realms of reality. The shaman's journey is to help the person to rediscover their connection to nature and spirit. "Shamans heal themselves. By working through their emotional pain, they learn to help others." -Wounded Healin' "But the primitive magician, the medicine man, or the shaman is not only a sick man; he is, above all, a sick man who has been cured, who has succeeded in curing himself." -Author Unknown A Siberian mystic tradition, Shamanic medicine dates back 25,000 years. The shaman is[..]

We certainly appreciate the value of inspirationalmessages that are rooted in truth. However, atthe present time, an over-abundance of spiritualmisinformation is flooding the metaphysicalmarket by those whom we call the New Age Cheerleaders. They're usually well-meaning, but denying thereality that adversity is an unavoidable part ofeveryone's life, that it has a divine purpose, andinstead promoting false promises is a disserviceto consumers. Ultimately, a lot of the excitementand hype only serves to increase book sales andseminar profits and can do more damage thangood. Throughout the past 20 plus years of beinginvolved in the self-help, New Age, andmetaphysical industry, we've seen it[..]

DISCUSSIONS Humanity as a whole is experiencing a cosmic slumber in which the Real is forsaken and the dream of Maya, of illusions, delusions and glamors perpetuated. In this prolonged dream human beings suffer, they experience pain and disease, they grow old, decay, and eventually pass through transition--a meaningless life if viewed from a materialistic perspective. Even the lighter side of this dream with its varied pleasures is incapable of consoling the weary soul who has tasted most of what the materialistic life has to offer. Human beings in general, are angry and confused, their sense of identity being displaced. Not knowing the purpose of life they indulge in sensuous[..]
