When life seems to be going in many directions at once, think about conscious intentional relaxation. It is simply bringing your awareness and your intention to allow your mind, body and spirit to relax. It only takes a few seconds or minutes, but how often do we take the time to do this?

As you concentrate on your breathe and not your mind, this feeling of relaxation takes you deeper inside yourself. The relaxation response helps you feel supported inside so that you can remain centered in the highest vibrations of love, peace and oneness. This is the only way you can experience what you truly want in your life.

The combination of our awareness of our breathing and being conscious about our intention to relax can have significant effects on the mind,the body and one’s moods. This helps you become more physically relaxed and mentally centered. This is something simple and quick that can help you feel relaxed, alert, and more ready for anything.

By setting our intention to relax, we also warm our heart; uplift our spirit, which gives us the space to remain confident.

Our intentions play a very important role in our lives. Become aware of your intentions throughout your day and consciously set your intention to relax. This is especially important when life seems to be overwhelming or we are surrounded by chaos. These are the times when it most important to make a habit of setting your intentions to relax. This will have a cumulative effect, the more you intentionally relax your mind,body and spirit. Your body, mind, and spirit will react to this conditioned response and become more relaxed and able to cope with the ups and downs of life.

Go to the safe space within your heart that is filled with love, joy and abundance NOW and intentionally RELAX.

Usually fear is something that we think MIGHT happen rather than what is happening now, in the present. So, basically, fear is a future thing.
We can view fear as a projection into the future of what could happen. The majority of what we fear usually does not materialize. When we allow the fear to control us, then that makes it stronger by interacting with it.

Not a day goes by that we are not blasted with fear through the news media. This is instilling more fear in our minds and keeping it there. By constantly being exposed to the fear based channels, you are generating more of that fear by giving it more power.

Instead of being concerned with things that you cannot change, visualize what you would like to happen. Keep your focus on a positive outcome.

What about the fear from the past or feelings of panic or anxiety that comes out of nowhere? If you have ever experienced PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or severe or chronic stress, then possibly you may be re-living that traumatic event or events and not be aware of it.

Everyone at one time or another in their lifetime has had an event or situation that would be considered as traumatic. It can be a series of events, abuse, fear produced by a critical and unsupportive parent or anything that produces a feeling of helplessness. These experiences can be overwhelming and dealing with emotions can be difficult.

Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come.

One way that these emotions may be released from the part of the brain that stores these memories is with energy-based therapies.

Energy-based therapies use techniques that address all levels of the individual: mental, emotional, spiritual as well as physical and allow the person to heal on whatever level is needed.

What happens in our bodies and our brain when we perceive a threatening situation or we have been through a traumatic situation? Feelings of anger, rage, fear, avoidance and defensiveness are involved in the limbic brain or our emotional brain.

There are unconscious memory centers in our brains that store these traumatic events. When we experience sensations, images, smells, sights or anything that remind us of the trauma, our body reacts as if being a present threat. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event. Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety.

Using energy based techniques such as Healing Touch can help to release these stuck emotions and give the person a sense of peace and well-being. Practitioners act as facilitators in assisting the individual in their journey to self heal.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words. Rei and ki.  Rei means supernatural force of spiritual intelligence and Ki means life energy.  Thus Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy.

Treatments can be done in person or remotely. It may aid in helping illnesses, injuries and diseases.  Reiki is very versatile and can be used to heal or improve any condition or difficulty.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a Religion.  It has no dogma and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn or use Reiki.  Reiki is compatible with all Religious paths and faiths.

Sessions usually involve a combination of energy-based modalities that are individualized to fit the client.

The Five Spiritual Principles of Reiki

Just for today I shall not worry.

Just for today I will do my work honestly.

Just for today I will not anger.

Just for today I will respect and be kind to all beings.

Just for today I will show gratitude for all my blessings.
