Reiki, a Powerful Tool for Mind, Body and Spirit
By Mona Khalaf
The interest
in alternative medicine is growing rapidly today. Among the huge number of
healing methods available, Reiki has become very popular around the world,
especially since science has verified the existence of the universal life energy
that Reiki is based on. Reiki is a powerful holistic healing system; it heals on
all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
So what is
Reiki? Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. It is a very
simple method that uses universal life energy, the energy which permeates our
entire universe and all living things. This universal life energy is called qi
or chi in China, prana in India, and ki in Japan and this is where the Reiki
name derives. It circulates throughout the body and in an energy field
surrounding the body. This energy field, long been known to healers and mystics,
is now verified by scientists. Recent scientific experiments have verified the
existence of this life force energy. Scientists have proven that everything in
the universe, at a sub-atomic level, is made up of energy. Health is the
harmonious flow of life energy, while imbalances in this flow, due to unhealthy
habits or negative emotions lead to illness. So this subtle energy is
responsible for the processes in our body on all levels: physical, emotional and
mental. Reiki is channeled through the hands of the practitioner into the body
of the receiver and balances the energy flow in the body.
Reiki is a
holistic healing system, i.e. it addresses the whole person: the physical,
mental, emotional and the spiritual levels. The body is not made up of parts to
be fixed, but an amazing and complex web of energy, and in order to truly return
to health, all the levels of our being must be addressed.
Reiki works on
four different levels:
The physical
level: Reiki strengthens the immune system. It helps to relive pai. It balances
and harmonizes the function of glands and organs. It heals by opening the
blocked energy channels, the meridians, and balances the chakras. With
continuous practice, good health and well-being is maintained.
The emotional
level: Reiki reduces stress and improves relaxation; this in turn strengthens
the immune system and maintains health. Reiki clears energy blockages and
suppressed emotions.
The mental level:
Reiki enables the person to become more positive and reach a different outlook
on life. You feel more empowered and find it easier to overcome obstacles and
achieve goals.
The spiritual
level: Reiki enables you to feel more connected to your higher self. It aids
meditation, increases intuition and provides limitless benefits of spiritual
growth.
Reiki
is so simple yet so powerful, and this is what makes it a unique healing system
that anyone can learn, because it does not require any previous experience or
special ability. The Benefits of Reiki are infinite. It enables you to take
an active part in your own wellness, and
increases your growth on all levels.

5 Great Tips to Handle Stress
By Mona Khalaf
Stress has always
been a part of our lives. In this hectic time, people lead an increasingly
stressful life. Experts state that a little stress can be good as it keeps you
focused and ready to move forward, and is sometimes vital for achieving optimum
performance. However, medical research has determined that prolonged stress is
very bad for the body, and can block the body's natural ability to repair,
regenerate and protect itself. Over 90% of disease is caused by stress. Stress
is both a physical and psychological response. It can lead to chronic disease,
obesity, insomnia, deteriorating relationships, depression, and more.
Stress is such a powerful and harmful force that it is vital that you learn
effective stress management techniques to live a successful, happy, and healthy
life. We must remember that we will always come across inevitable factors that
cause pressure and anxiety on us. What we do not know is that it is not really
the problems that are difficult to deal with, but our attitude towards them. So
basically, the cause of stress is your attitude toward these things. What, then,
is an effective way to deal with stressors?
Below are 5 great tips to handle stress.
1. Identify what makes you stressful and uneasy. Making a list of your stressful
experiences is useful. Immediately deal with the issues that you can change, for
instance waking up earlier for work in the morning, not leaving things till the
last minute, and delegating tasks in case you are taking responsibility for
everything. Forget about the issues that you cannot influence like being stuck
in a traffic jam or not getting into the elevator because there is no room for
you.
2. Calm down. A few minutes break would do you good. Wash your face, breath
slowly and deeply, and notice if there is tension in any part of your body and
release it. You can also listen to relaxing music, or call a friend. Releasing
your inner feelings to a friend is healthy option.
3. It will pass and it will be over before you know it. Remind yourself that the
stressful event will end sooner or later can make you see the positive sides of
things. At the same time, calm down your emotions and think of what is the best
thing to do rather than take your energy away from what needs to be done.
4. Know yourself. Ask yourself: What triggers your anxiety? If for example it is
your job, then maybe it’s time for you to reconsider whether it would be best to
find a less stressful job. You can also make your job more tolerable by allowing
yourself to get that needed vacation or leave.
5. Learn to use your relaxation reaction. Just as we all have within us the
stress reaction, we also have a relaxation reaction, and we should use that on a
regular basis. It requires two steps: A Repetition, i.e. repeating a word, a
sound, an expression, or a movement. Secondly, ignoring thoughts that come to
one’s mind while you're doing the repetition, and coming back to the repetition.
This method should be used daily for a few minutes. The words to choose can be
the sound Om, love, calm, peace, etc. You can also do a repetitive exercise, for
instance yoga, jogging, Reiki. When you incorporate this into your everyday
life, you become calmer and better able to handle the stressors. Practice makes
perfect and the more you practice relax your mind, the easier it gets.
The true causes of stress are not the problems or negative experiences that you
encounter in your life; but your attitude toward them. So, the trick is to
change your attitude and to develop a relaxed state, because you cannot be
stressed and relaxed at the same time. It is important to understand that what
we focus on, we energize. The more you continue to think about the factors that
cause your stress, the more energy you give it. So it is vital to let go and
focus on relaxation instead. Consequently, you're less likely to be upset by a
stressor, and thus less likely to have its harmful effect occur. Eventually, it
is your choice. You could either continue to react in the same stressful way, or
you could choose to improve your life by changing your attitude and becoming
relaxed. There’s no other way around it.

How to Bring Out your Positive Attitude
By Mona Khalaf
We always
encounter problems in our lives, and most of the time, we become discouraged by
how difficult the problems we face are. But what we don't know is that it's not
really the problems that are difficult to deal with but our attitude towards
them. Yes, they may be tough at times and may take a lot of time to solve, but
as long as we view them as obstacles that will obstruct our way towards our goal,
we can never really arrive at the right solution.
As long as you have
the right attitude of looking at things and how they have to be done, you can
achieve things that may seem impossible to happen...
So how do you bring out the Positive Person in You? When faced with problems,
you may tend to see the
glass half-empty instead of half full. The trick is to see these
problems as challenges… as something to move us forward in life. Not all roads to
success are smooth, often, there are bumps and humps. Now how can you still see
the good things in everything… even if you are pessimistic all the time?
1. Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities.
Visualize practicing your actions and the results you expect from them. Develop
an effective strategy for dealing with problems. Concentrate on things that need
to be taken seriously; but at the same time, take time to relax and enjoy.
2. Keep a list of your goals and actions. Familiarize yourself with things you
want to accomplish and with the ways you must undertake to complete them. When
you are aware of these things, your body will immediately carry out the actions
you need to execute in making these things happen.
3. Be detached from the outcome. There will be times in our lives when some things
don't turn
out according to what we want them to be. Nevertheless face them, don't be
discouraged if you don't get what you want. Don't become too attached to the
probable outcome, but just do your best in everything. Remember the saying:
“problems are opportunities in disguise”.
4. Be realistic. Make sure that your goals are specific. Big goals can be
chunked down into small specific steps; each step will bring you closer to your
goal. Success might not be gained overnight… but it can be gained no matter what.
Believe and have faith.
5. Associate mostly with positive people. In classrooms, work places, or anywhere you go where there are groups of people, look for optimistic ones.
Associate and discuss matters with them. They can help you build self-confidence
and self-esteem.
6. Ask questions and seek knowledge. Asking or seeking guidance can bring no harm. It does not
imply ignorance; rather it is associated with seeking more information and
understanding matters clearly. Remember with more knowledge, there is also more
power.
7. Count your blessings. Focus on what you have rather than worrying about what
you don’t have. Positive outcomes appear when we know we are abundant of this
life’s blessings. So be thankful and appreciative of all the blessings that you
have in your life
now, maintaining this attitude will bring more abundance your way.
8. Say goodbye to your worries. At the end of everyday, before going to sleep,
it is important not to dwell on bad experiences and unhappy moments that had
happened during the day. Let them go, by visualizing these experiences again but
this time change the scenes so that the outcome is now positive and
satisfactory, and problems are resolved, feel the happiness and satisfaction as
if this outcome has already manifested, and go to sleep with this positive
attitude. As a new day unfolds, new hope arises, you will be surprised how your
life will begin to improve and reflect your attitude. Keep believing.
Life will always have ups and downs. See the big picture, look beyond the
problem. A positive person will not dwell on a difficult situation and be
discouraged by it, but will believe that he can and he should surpass it in
order to reach his goals. With a positive attitude, he never accepts defeat. A
positive attitude is one of the most valuables assets you can have in life, it
can help you achieve things that may seem impossible to happen.
