			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our chakras are energy centers in our bodies.  These energy centers are constantly receiving energy from our surroundings and environment. Chakra is a spinning vortex of energy. It comes from a Sanskrit (ancient language) word that means wheel or disk like.</p>
<p>The chakras send and receive energy of everything that has ever happened to us.</p>
<p>The size of your chakras are about the size of your fist.  When balanced, these energy centers should be spinning clockwise. Whenever our chakras are balanced, we maintain optimal health and well-being. Our health is affected on all levels, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.</p>
<p>Problems such as illness and disease may result from chakras not being balanced. There are exercises and meditations that can help and having energy work can be very beneficial in creating and maintaining this balance. </p>
<p>Although there are many chakras throughout our bodies and layers of our energy fields, there are 7 major chakras, which correlate to the colors of the rainbow.</p>
<p>First chakra(red) &#8211; root chakra and has to do with survival, our foundation, being grounded. It relates to insecurities, bladder and nervous disorders, sexual dysfunctions and skin problems.</p>
<p>Second chakra(orange) &#8211; sacral chakra located below the navel. This chakra relates to pleasure, relationships, appetite and our creativity.  Examples of dysfunctions would be colitis, PMS, kidney problems ovarian/uterine disorders, emotional issues.</p>
<p>Third chakra(yellow) &#8211; solar plexus. This chakra is the seat of the ego. Digestive and weight disorders would be a dysfunction, as well as power issues, gallbladder, fear and self-esteem problems.</p>
<p>Fourth chakra(green) &#8211; heart center, is about giving and receiving love, compassion. Dysfunctions would include blood pressure, heart and lung problems, asthma and sleep disorders.</p>
<p>Fifth chakra(blue) &#8211; throat center, governs all aspects of communication.  It is the will to express, whether written or oral communication. Problems in this chakra may include the thyroid, jaw, tonsils, or an inability to express oneself.</p>
<p>Sixth chakra(indigo) &#8211; brow center, is also known as the “third eye”, our inner vision. An unbalanced brow chakra may show up as eyesight problems, headaches in the brow, glandular or endocrine issues or hormonal imbalances.</p>
<p>Seventh chakra,(violet to white) located at the crown or top of the head is about our purpose in life. Major depression, problems relating to the pineal gland, learning disorders, headaches and light-headedness are associated with imbalances within the crown chakra.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reiki (ray-key) is a natural healing technique that makes use of the laying on of hands.  It originated in part with Ling Chi of the Chinese Taoists over 5000 years ago.  Reiki was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian minister in the 1800’s.  During his 10-year quest he studied the teachings of Christ, and the sacred literature of Japan, China, India and Tibet.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Sessions usually involve a combination of energy-based modalities that are individualized to fit the client.</p>
<p>The Five Spiritual Principles of Reiki</p>
<p>Just for today I shall not worry.</p>
<p>Just for today I will do my work honestly.</p>
<p>Just for today I will not anger.</p>
<p>Just for today I will respect and be kind to all beings.</p>
<p>Just for today I will show gratitude for all my blessings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;In principal, the Quantum Touch® practitioner learns to focus and amplify life-force energy (&#8220;Chi&#8221; or &#8220;Prana&#8221;) by combining various breathing and body awareness exercises.  When the practitioner holds a high vibrational field of life-force energy around an affected area, she or he facilitates healing through the process of resonance and entrainment.</p>
<p>Everything vibrates.  When two things vibrate at different frequencies, there is a tendency for the vibrations to come together. Most often, the slower vibration will rise to match the faster frequency.</p>
<p>Quantum-Touch uses resonance and entrainment to facilitate healing. The practitioner learns to raise his or her vibration and create a high level of energy. If that energy field is placed around an area of pain, stress, inflammation, or disease, that part of the body will entrain to the higher frequency and allow one’s own biological intelligence to do whatever healing it deems necessary.</p>
<p>Using Quantum-Touch breathing and body awareness exercises, the practitioner can hold an extraordinarily high vibration, influencing the person in need of healing to match the vibration of the practitioner. I see that in the future, when research has been done, life force energy will be appreciated as being real &#8230; and powerfully impacting physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and psychology. Our world will forever be different as people realize that their love has impact and their love has value.&#8221;</p>
