Video: Hand Positions for Reiki Self-Treatment

From Denny: We all like to be independent, well, here's the perfect simple Reiki video for you to practice! Don't be fooled by the simplicity; this takes time for you to become aware of subtle energies and your own body and how it is responding. Just keep practicing until you get good results. Focus upon staying in the present moment and try not to allow your mind to wander away from your purpose of self-healing and balancing. You will be so refreshed!

Video: Intro to Reiki Healing as Integrative Health Care

From Denny: Since there is so much interest out there about Reiki I've started researching some responsible material to place here on this blog. This is a beginning video talking about Reiki as an additional healing method paired with what you may already be doing in a traditional medical setting. Since it is non-invasive and gentle it helps boost your immune system to heal itself. This video helps familiarize you with the self-healing technique and how this Reiki discipline of healing can be so beneficial.

Videos Featured on the Sidebar

From Denny: Found this soothing Reiki healing music video, placed it on the sidebar for easy access regularly and thought you might enjoy listening to it while you read the posts. Of course - sigh - I had to go thru the usual hoop-jumping to change the blog's template so most of the video displays properly - so if anyone was confused, disoriented or a bit frustrated this morning please accept my apologies! After all, this is supposed to be a place to come to stress down, right? :)

Chakras and their meanings

Chakras and their meanings:

"As a Reiki Practitioner using Chakras as a guide to healing is really important. Chakras are best described as wheels or vortex's and they refer to the seven energy centres of which our energy system, our consciousness is composed.

These Chakras function like valves that regulate the flow of energy through our energy system. The functioning of the Chakras reflects the decisions we make regarding how we choose to respond to conditions in our lives. We open and close these valves when we decide what to feel, and what to think which through our own perceptual filter we choose to experience the world around us.

Chakras are not physical, they are probably best described as aspects of consciousness in the same way as aura's are. Chakras are more dense than auras. They interact and communicate with our body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system.

All of our senses, all of our perceptions, all of our possible states of awareness, everything it is possible for us to experience, can be divided into seven categories. Each one can be associated with a particular Chakra!"
