I believe this is all to do with the health and development of the energy body. It usually occurs when the upper psychic centres (third eye, crown and other smaller chakras in the head area) are wide open before someone has finished working through and releasing their own fears, issues etc and done their own healing. In an ideal world your chakras gradually clear and open the more you work on yourself, releasing negative energies in the lower chakras first, so that your spiritual gifts develop in line with the spiritual healing and personal growth work that you do. In some people however their psychic centres/higher chakras may already be open. They may have stayed open in childhood, they may be a natural psychic, they may have health problems connected to the head such as headaches, migraines or epilepsy which can force the 3rd eye chakra open or the chakras may be open due to drug or alcohol use/abuse. These drugs can also include some powerful prescription drugs.</p><p>Our psychic visions are governed by the third eye chakra, sited in the forehead just above the brows with its rear over the occipital ridge at the back of the head. Sometimes a visual image of fears stored in the lowver chakras can be seen on your inner screen (third eye); in other words you are receiving a visual representation of that fear. I've encountered one or two people who have been absolutely convinced that something bad was going to happen to their partner or another loved one. Thankfully none of these visions have come true so I think it is much more likely that their visions and intuitions were a reflection of their own fears.</p><p>If this has happened to you, it is best to take it as a sign that you need greater control over your psychic abilities and an acknowledgement that some visions come from ourselves rather than from our guides, angels or Spirit. The only way to work psychically in a safe, trusting manner is to work through and release your own issues and recognise that there is most likely an underlying fear within you at the time you have the vision. After any unpleasant visions you should cleanse yourself with pure white light, allowing it to wash away any negative energy, and then ask yourself "Am I living in fear at the moment? Does this vision represent a subsconscious fear within me?"</p><p>Some people are able to tune in psychically to others they know who may be ill, going through a difficult time or close to the end. These people may feel out of sorts (anxious, low/depressed, fearful, lethargic etc) without knowing why until they find out that someone close to them has been going through exactly the same thing. Knowing the reason for your sudden intense negative mood will bring relief for both your state of mind and your body. Again, cleanse with the shower of white light to help release these feelings.</p><p>If you are the person who someone else has had a disturbing vision about, it is best to let it go, release it to the light, asking for cleansing and purification at the highest level. I was contacted by someone with this very issue only a few days ago and was inspired to say to him that you always have a choice, whether to live in fear or live in the light. Trust that most disturbing visions are a reflection of the seer's subconscious fears. It may actually be worth considering whether you should be more cautious in a particular area of your life as someone is obviously worried about you! You can also ask God or Archangel Michael to bring you any protection you may need. Visualise yourself in a blue, violet or gold bubble of protection and make sure you fully ground yourself to the Earth.</p><p><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br /></i></p><p><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Helen Shortland is a Reiki Master Healer/Teacher, Intuitive, Holistic Therapist, Meditation Teacher and Spiritual Development Coach based in south Notts and on line.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We’ve
all had that feeling of someone being too much in our personal space but did
you know that you can also be invaded by the energy of others without even
being consciously aware of it? And this absorbing of other people’s energies
can actually affect you in a very negative ways. The boundary I’m talking about
here is your energetic boundary or aura – the energy field that surrounds you
and which is made up of your thoughts, emotions, personal history, even energy
patterns/karmic patterns carried over from past lives.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If
your aura is too weak, you can become easily overwhelmed by certain people,
places or situations as you struggle to maintain your own centredness. You can
become confused, unable to think clearly, irritable or sad. Some people become
overwhelmed by visions, bad dreams and negative premonitions. Insomnia is
another side effect of weak boundaries. Some people become overwhelmed with
other people’s emotions and can feel like they’re on a roller coaster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If
your aura is weak, on the positive side it means that you have great
sensitivity and great empathy with others, which can be useful to those with a
healing, caring, therapeutic or psychic profession. On the other hand, if you
are absorbing too much emotion and other psychic information, it can be too
overwhelming to the point where you are unable to separate yourself from the
other person and process the information at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
person with too thick a boundary can appear insensitive to the feelings of
others. They can display a lack of empathy and understanding. They may be very
self-contained and single minded of purpose but will most likely struggle to
form real meaningful emotional connections to others. They are less likely to
dream or receive psychic information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
person’s aura becomes weak through shock, trauma (including relationship
break-up, bereavement, major surgery), abuse, neglect, physical or verbal
attack, especially if these are long term issues. Bullying has a very damaging
effect on the aura, chipping away at more of your personal power with every
attack. Medication, drugs and alcohol abuse can all take their toll on a
person’s energy field, as can being indoctrinated/brainwashed with negative,
limiting beliefs while you are growing up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">To
help detach negative energy and entities, cleanse your aura with a selenite
wand on all sides of your aura including above your head and round your feet.
To repair holes and tears in the aura, hold an amethyst crystal and go round
the whole aura again, setting the intention to repair and seal the aura. If you
are aware of where the holes and tears in your aura may be, circle the hole
itself with the amethyst crystal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You
can also do a meditation connecting to pure white light shining down from above,
bringing it down and visualising beams of white light shining through each of
your chakras and swirling round your whole energy field. White raises your
vibration and will help you rise above other people’s negativity and other
stressful situations around you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Once
repaired, get into the habit of visualising yourself in a bubble of protection
(gold, blue or violet) every morning and during the day if needed and make sure
you ground yourself regularly so you’re not living in your head too much.
Grounding can be anything that helps you feel connected to the earth – walking,
running, exercise in general, gardening and spending time with uplifting,
supportive people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A
few weeks ago I watched an interesting programme on sleep deprivation and
discovered some interesting facts, namely that lack of sleep leads to
dehydration which can cause headaches. I’ve been starting to note when I have
bad headaches myself and, sure enough, they nearly always follow a period of
little or poor sleep. Many people, especially women, suffer from sleep
deprivation. Often this is stress-related – when you wake up too early, start
thinking of all the things you’ve got to do and can’t get back to sleep again.
Other times I believe it’s hormonal, linked to changes connected with the
peri-menopause and menopause. Other causes are depression, poor diet, physical
pain from head/neck/shoulder problems and over-use of technology near bedtime.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
addition to leaving us feeling rough, groggy and lethargic with brain-fog the
next day, lack of sleep also shows in the face due to its negative effects on
the skin. Lack of sleep is also linked to a higher risk of developing heart
disease, diabetes and obesity. It weakens the immune system, affects fertility
and has a negative effect on mental health. It is one of the most common
complaints reported to doctors and holistic therapists alike.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of Sleep Deprivation on the Skin<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One
study in South Korea discovered that sleep deprivation led to a significant
decrease in skin hydration and impaired barrier function. Decreased hydration
led to reduced skin elasticity and translucency, an increase in fine lines,
uneven pigmentation, increased skin scaling; facial pores became more
noticeable and there was decreased blood flow to the skin. In other words, lack
of sleep has a massive effect on skin ageing. When the skin barrier in the
outermost layer of the skin (the stratum corneum) is impaired, more irritants can
get in and we become more susceptible to illness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
poor hydration resulting from lack of sleep affects the whole body. One study
found that adults sleeping 6 hrs a night were inadequately hydrated compared to
those sleeping 8 hrs. It is believed that poor sleep disrupts the release of
vasopressin, a hormone that regulates hydration in the body. If you wake up too
early, you may miss the window of time when this hormone is released. Most
people sweat during sleep which acts as a natural moisturiser for the skin. If
you don’t get enough sleep you can miss out on the positive effects of
sweating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
signs of sleep deprivation and dehydration unfortunately show in our face. You
may have hanging or heavy eyelids, dark circles under the eyes, redder or more
swollen eyes, paler skin, more fine lines and drooping at the corners of the
mouth. The skin may appear rougher and duller. Overall the effect is ageing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Developing
your intuition means connecting with your higher self – the part of you that is
connected to the divine, which is the most awakened, wise and highest aspect of
yourself. It is a source of inspiration, guidance and wisdom if you learn how
to pay attention to the subtle messages it sends you. Guidance can be subtle –
the feeling you have when something just isn’t right, a sense of unease that
you feel in your gut, a strong urge to act in a certain way or a powerful
resistance to following a particular path. Some people experience recurring
dreams with a common underlying theme – this is another way our higher self or
intuition communicates with us.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">With
our busy lives it is very easy to forget all about our intuition and feel
disconnected from our higher self. That disconnection however can leave you
feeling anxious, stuck, reactive and ungrounded. On the other hand, when
connected to your higher self or intuition, you are naturally more receptive,
creative and open to new experiences and have a sense of being guided to the
right people and opportunities. Life just flows better. And you know when your
intuition is spot on because when you speak it out loud, you feel cold tingles
or shivers in your body, usually down the spine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">To
pick up the messages from your intuition or higher self, you have to learn to
bypass the conscious mind – in other words you have to stop thinking and
analysing and work with your senses instead. These are your psychic senses,
also known as the clairs – clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear
hearing), claircognizance (clear knowing) and clairsentience (clear feeling).
There are also less common clair abilities of clairalliance (smelling) and
clairgustance (tasting).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Meditation
is a good starting point if you want to develop your psychic senses because it
teaches you to detach from the mind chatter and calm the mind. After all, if
you ignore something, over time it goes away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
receiving your intuitions through the clairs, you’ll find that you have a
natural affinity with one or two more than the others. So how do you know which
is your strongest clair?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

others, if you feel the physical pain of others when giving healing, if you
‘feel’ when you are being watched or feel someone stood behind you, your
strength may be clairsentience. You can walk into a room and feel the
atmosphere, especially if there has been an argument of if the space is full of
joy. These people are very empathic and often taken on the emotions of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

street who reminds you of someone you know and you then bump into that person
or hear from them shortly afterwards, you may be stronger at clairvoyance.
These people often enjoy art and visual experiences and can see the finer
details of a situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

imprinted on your mind or hears actual words spoken to you that others cannot,
giving you information or a warning, you are likely to have the gift of
clairaudience or inner hearing. These people often like silence, chanting
meditation or just listening to the sounds of nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

language you use can also give an indication of which psychic sense is the
strongest. Note how often you say “I see what you mean”, “I feel what you’re
saying, or “I hear you”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

more we practice and tune into our intuition, the stronger it becomes. It
doesn’t mean you’ll never make a mistake again but you’ll find that you have an
inner wisdom that you probably didn’t have before. You’ll also learn from
‘mistakes’ a lot quicker, sensing the best way to put them right and get back

Healing is a combination of energy healing and spiritual healing. It works with
the energy field of the body like dowsing rods, reacting to the energy emitted
from a person’s body, both from healthy and unhealthy tissues. I connect to my
healing guides and angels and ask the pendulum to release mental/emotional blocks,
clear pain, release causes of a health problem etc in the same way that you
would program a crystal. The pendulum then moves from side to side to break up
the energy block then swings anti-clockwise to release it, returning to
stillness when finished.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So
far I have used Pendulum Healing to relieve pain, congestion and inflammation
in the physical body, to clear blocked stagnant energy in the chakras and aura
and to release negative thoughts, beliefs and emotions held in the
mental/emotional bodies. I now include Pendulum Healing in my Reiki sessions
and Crystal Healing treatments to clear the underlying causes of a client’s
presenting problem, such as anxiety, depression, migraines and physical pain or
to assist breaking down and releasing a build-up of negative energy. Pendulum
Healing clears the underlying causes a lot faster than Reiki or crystals alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In a
treatment the pendulum is held over the problematic body part or over the solar
plexus if it is a generic condition affecting the whole body or if we are
aiming to clear a mental/emotional condition from the subconscious. Pendulum
Healing can also be used to clear individual chakras so that they function more
effectively. It can also clear any blocks that are preventing you manifesting
positive change in your life. For example we can ask it to remove blocks to
receiving abundance, creativity, clarity and enhanced intuition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Pendulum
Healing can be applied to other areas of your life where healing is required,
such as relationships or work. Many people suffer from low self-worth or slip
into self-sabotaging behaviour which adversely affects the way these areas of
their lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Pendulum
Healing can also <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>be used to clear any
negative energy in relationships (bad feelings, lack of forgiveness etc) and to
clear negative karma of a family lineage or from past lives. More widely it can
help release the negative energy of injustices and help heal communities. It is
excellent for healing low self-esteem, self-worth issues, lack of confidence,
anxiety and low mood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
is believed that the spinning action of the pendulum creates an energy vortex,
sometimes known as a ‘cone of power’. Pendulum commands can be likened to
placing thought forms in the energy body which affect the subtle bodies and
physical body in a positive way, improving health and wellbeing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
have found Pendulum Healing to be incredibly powerful for shifting blocks,
probably because the energy is focused in and amplified by the energy of the
crystal pendulum. Like other healing modalities, Pendulum Healing cannot promise
a complete cure but it helps to create conditions that are favourable to
healing. I can honestly say that this is one of the most effective forms of
healing I have discovered so far.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Pendulum
Healing can be used for self-healing, healing others and as a distance healing
treatment. So far I have used Pendulum Healing on myself to relieve headaches
and clear the underlying causes of my migraine-type headaches, namely an
intolerance to my triggers of perfume, aftershave and other perfumed smells.
For the following two weeks I noticed a marked improvement in my tolerance
levels which I would say improved by 70%. Two weeks later I repeated this
program and again my tolerance levels have improved considerably. I also used
it effectively on myself to clear any blocks to fully connecting with my spirit
guides, angels, higher self and spirit and have experienced a much deeper
connection, particularly to the angelic realm, since doing so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
have used Pendulum Healing to relieve a client’s cold symptoms (catarrh and
congestion) on her chest which cleared completely after treatment. Pendulum
Healing has also helped relieve neck pain, stomach pain and considerably
improved the relationship between a client and a friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">With
distance Pendulum Healing I tune in just as I would if sending distant Reiki:
you make a mental connection with the person, visualise them, and ask the
pendulum to clear and heal whatever the client wants to release.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As
stated earlier, I now include Pendulum Healing in my Reiki and Crystal Healing
treatments where needed but Pendulum Healing can also be taken as a stand-alone
treatment which includes the use of dowsing rods to dowse the state of your
chakras, ie whether they are open, closed/blocked or stagnant. I can then
rebalance the chakras with the pendulum, as well as work over specific problem
areas in the physical body, then finally clear any blocks/negative energy from
the subconscious that are preventing you manifesting your goals, such as
improved self-confidence and self-worth, attracting love or greater financial
abundance, increasing creativity or intuitive abilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
treatment can be an hour or half an hour depending on how much clearing you
want to do. This treatment is ideal for anyone who holds limiting negative
beliefs in their subconscious mind, as well as for all those who want to feel
lighter, clearer and more balanced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve
recently been reading a book about a clairvoyant’s view of the dying process
(not as morbid as it sounds!) and an image of the last sight I had of my
grandma, who died 5 years ago, popped into my mind. The image was of my nan
sitting up in her hospital bed and me leaving the ward with the nagging feeling
that it was the last time I would see her. At exactly the moment I thought of
her I had a stab of pain in the left side of my upper back. Following this was
the realisation that I’d been storing up all the guilt I’d felt about not being
there for her at the end in my upper back (rear heart chakra). This was why I
have an ongoing weakness in this area which causes me a lot of aches and pains.
I had thought these pains were merely due to holding my arms out doing my
therapy work but there was obviously more to it than that.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
late Louise L Hay has written a lot about the underlying mental/emotional
causes of physical ailments and I think may even have coined the title phrase
of this blog. I’ve also seen over my many years working as a therapist that the
people with the most physical pain also have the most unresolved emotional
pain. Healing of any kind (Reiki, spiritual healing, massage or other form of
bodywork) aims to release this negative energy stored in the physical body.
Only when it is released can real healing occur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Over
the last month I have given several Reiki treatments which show the healing
that can occur when emotional pain is released. Details of three of them are
given below:-<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Reiki
brings just the positive life changes the client needed!<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
particular lady suffered with a lot of physical pain due to fibromyalgia and
IBS but she booked a Reiki session to help her deal with the emotional pain and
loss she was currently feeling. She was dealing with the grief of
losing her mum two years before and was struggling to find purpose in her life
and a sense of belonging. She was lonely as her health conditions meant she
couldn’t work or get out much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
addition to giving Reiki to all the painful areas in her physical body, I
lifted a ‘heaviness’ off her heart chakra and did emotional releasing from the
solar plexus and sacral chakras. The client actually felt the shift at her
heart centre. We also released a lot of negative emotions stored in the lower
back (rear sacral chakra), at which point she suddenly felt cold. This implies
a shift has taken place on an emotional level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">All
good stuff but it was what she reported to me the next day that made this
session so remarkable. At a group meeting she attended after her Reiki
session, she exchanged numbers with two ladies to meet for coffee/chat, she was
invited to join a seated tai chi group and gong bath session she could manage
physically and heard about various local coffee groups she could attend and
meet new friends. She also noticed leaflets and posters for other groups she
would like to try out in the future. She ended the day feeling much more
optimistic than at the beginning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So
many coincidences and synchronistic events occurred following her treatment.
I’m already convinced that the Universe brings us what we need rather than what
we want and what this lady needed most of all for her healing was a whole new
social life. When we tap into this universal energy source during Reiki,
setting the intention and allowing it to heal us on all levels, we allow the
Universe (or Spirit) to step in and guide our lives in the best possible
direction. Her tummy was also blissfully calm after treatment!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

for ME and Emotional Issues<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
particular client suffers with ME and anxiety and had recently experienced the
loss of an old friend. She had gone through two physically abusive
relationships in the past, after which her health had “gone downhill”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During
treatment lots of energy flowed all around her head and rear third eye chakra
where we store bad memories, fear, shock and negative perceptions. The client
reported that she felt she could breathe again when I held the back of her
head. An interesting experience occurred at her sacral chakra – the centre of
our emotions and relationships with others. I had a strong intuition that I had
to pull a cord out. This cord was to an ex who took away her personal power.
When treating her left leg there was a sudden rush of energy up and down the
leg like something had just been released. I sensed she had felt ‘disconnected’
from her legs before. A heavy sadness was released from her heart and sacral
chakras.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After
the treatment the client said that she often feels like she’s dragging her legs
around “as if my legs aren’t really mine”. During treatment she also had
thoughts and memories of the friend who had died. Afterwards she felt
recharged, her abdomen felt nice and normal rather than weighed down and heavy
and her whole body felt “as one”. When I saw this client again about 3 weeks
later, she reported that she had felt better, with more energy, since I last
saw her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lady had been feeling sad due to a relationship that wasn’t progressing as she
had hoped. She had also suppressed her sadness following the ending of her
previous relationship of 8 years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During
treatment a lot of energy flowed around her heart chakra, as well as the sacral
chakra and a couple of physical areas. The client felt a shift in her chest
during treatment, after which she could breathe a lot better. When this happens
to such a noticeable degree that it affects breathing, it is a clear indication
of the amount of tension caused by unresolved emotional pain stored in this
area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Her
experiences that evening however were even more interesting. That night she
slept for nearly 12 hours and the next day was very emotional, releasing all
the tears that had been pent up for so long. She then found the courage to talk
to her current boyfriend and they agreed it wasn’t a relationship with a
future. In her words, something released at this point – she was no longer sad,
either towards him or to her previous long term boyfriend. She really had
released all the sadness and has emerged so much stronger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Your
Guardian Angel is with you throughout your life to help you navigate your way
through life more easily and successfully. All we have to do is sit quietly and
relax, call upon them and receive the comfort that they bring or the message
they have. Their key roles are providing protection and comfort. You can also
ask your Guardian Angel for help with anything at all such as learning a new
skill, attracting financial abundance, increasing self-esteem and joy,
developing psychic/mediumistic abilities, and they will bring the appropriate
spiritual helpers to you to work with you from the spiritual planes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Protection:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most well-known of the roles of the
Guardian Angel is to provide protection when needed. Almost all of us have had
that little nudge to take a different route or leave a particular place at a
certain time, and this is your Guardian Angel at work keeping you safe. Your
Guardian Angel can step in to help keep you out of danger if it is not your
time to experience a life-threatening situation or leave this earth but they
cannot assist if it is part of your soul plan to have that particular
experience. If you regularly call on your Guardian Angel to keep you and your
loved ones safe at all times, they can certainly mitigate the effects of an
accident or situation but may not be able to prevent it altogether.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On a
more mental/emotional level I have also found that the Guardian Angel can
shield you from the negativity of others, including psychic attack. You can ask
your Guardian Angel, along with Archangel Michael, to cut any cords to negative
people and situations in your life, especially those who mean you harm or wish
to cause trouble. My own Guardian Angel came into my life very strongly in the
early part of the summer this year when I was experiencing a lot of nuisance
phone calls. They helped keep my strength up so I could clearly see what action
I needed to take rather than collapsing with fear. I could actually feel my
Guardian Angel around me at this time and they drew close because I really
needed them. I was given to understand that they protect you on all levels
(spiritually as well as physically) and was inspired to write this blog at that
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Comfort:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to providing protection, our
Guardian Angel can also bring up mental and emotional comfort. There have been
a couple of occasions in the past when I have been very upset about something
and all of a sudden a wave of perfect peace came over me and washed it all
away. You know you don’t need to worry any more and that all will be ok. I was
later shown in a vision what had happened here – I saw two extremely tall,
white angels suddenly appear around me, at which point the sadness ended. Angel
oracle cards are another very good way to receive this kind of emotional support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Door Keeper:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
Through various spiritual studies I have discovered one theory that your
Guardian Angel isn’t actually a traditional angel at all. Instead this being
acts as a door keeper for all those involved in mediumship, clairvoyance,
spiritual healing etc, acting as a control for all those who are trying to
communicate with you from the other side. Imagine the chaos if lots of spirit
entities were trying to communicate all at once! Your Guardian Angel works to
keep this in order and, depending upon their own abilities and experience,
protects you from lower vibration, mischievous entities or those who would cause
harm. As your door keeper, this being assists you to connect with angels,
spirit healers or loved ones in spirit and readily brings these through to
whenever you put out a call or prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to Connect with your Guardian Angel<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
best way to connect in the early stages of your development is to meditate for
around 5 minutes to calm the mind and detach from every day concerns, open your
chakras and visualise your energy body filled with pure white light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then visualise a door opening and a set of 7
white steps leading up to the heavens. Walk up the steps and rest on a white
cloud. Call in your Guardian Angel, ask them to draw close around you and give
you a touch so that you can recognise their calling sign. This is usually
somewhere on the head, shoulder or arm. State what you need and ask for their
help. It is best to set aside time each day if possible to sit quietly, open
up, call your Guardian Angel to you, feel their calling sign and receive any
ideas, thoughts and impressions that come to you. You can also draw an angel
oracle card after calling in your angel in this way as this is another way that
they can get a message to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If
you have the space, you may like to create an angel altar in your home. This
can be just a small area with an angel statue, a white feather, some crystals
(especially angelite or celestite) and your angel oracle cards. This focuses
your intent and lets the angels know that you are serious about strengthening
your relationship with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">How
Angels Communicate<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Angels
communicate mainly through emotions in the early stages of your development,
bringing you a sense of peace, comfort, joy or love, whatever is needed. They
bring healing in this way. As I mentioned above, they have brought me comfort
and peace when I’ve been sad, often accompanied by a sudden sense of stillness;
other times you will have a feeling that you don’t need to worry any more. If
you have asked for guidance, you may not always receive an answer straight
away: it may come through later, while you are in the bath, quietly reading or
watching TV, when you are relaxed. Guidance can come in the form of thoughts,
words, inspirations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Your
Guardian Angel can also bring you an understanding of a situation that was
causing concern. You may feel the need to send love and forgiveness to someone
who was causing trouble for you. They will help you find the lesson in the
experience, which becomes an opportunity to open your heart more and attract
more love and light into your own being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You
should also look out for signs, ‘coincidences’ and synchronicities which often
lead you to the next step you need to take or you may meet a person who can
help you. If something is right for you, it will feel right inside, such as a
feeling of excitement or anticipation. Follow these intuitions and the angels
will guide you to the right opportunities to manifest what you desire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

good for emotional healing and helping you to move forward in life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
majority of this year 2018 has proved to be a very frustrating one where I have
been struggling to make any real progress in every area of my life. We all have
‘difficult’ years and during those times we can find that our mood is lowered
and anxiety levels raised. We fall out of our place of power (our calm centre)
and become over-sensitive; we over-react to criticism, judgment and
disappointments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I realised only
recently that I have the power to take control of myself and my situation
rather than let things simply unravel. I have spiritual awareness and knowledge
– I just forget it sometimes! We all go through difficult times but a spiritual
belief system can definitely help.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

part of our spiritual growth, we need to look at our life and ourselves every
now and again and address any restrictive patterns of thought or negative

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">First of all we need to find out exactly what
causes us to overreact and take action to restore peace and balance. Others may
appear to be responsible for our troubles but it is our own minds that create
the negative reactions within us. When we react badly it is because we are
suffering in some way. Being in an unsupportive environment leaves you feeling
unfulfilled as your spiritual potential is not being allowed to surface. This
is the root cause of many issues, anxieties and stresses in life. For example
you may be surrounded by people with values and ethics that are different from
your own, you may literally have no peace and quiet anywhere at home or work or
you may be in a situation where it is just not possible to be your true self.
When this happens you will inevitably experience low moods, self-doubt,
uncertainty and a general dulling of the spirit within. In other words, you are
in a soul-destroying environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you want a new life yet are afraid of
change, ask and meditate upon which part of you feels insecure and threatened. If
you have had to be very independent in life, having spent a lot of your life
alone, you tend to think you must face change and challenges on your own, which
can be daunting and overwhelming, leading to a tendency to put up and shut up.
(I’m guilty of this one myself!) Maybe the lesson here is to learn humility –
tell someone you need support, comfort and ask for help. It is not weak to ask
for help and to need others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

possible. Peace in yourself leads to peace in your relationships with others. If
you are surrounded by negative people who drain you, take action to reduce the
amount of time spent with them as much as possible. Equally try to extend
compassion, understanding and forgiveness to others. A gesture of kindness can
go a long way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

practising gratitude for the blessings you do have and positive affirmations.
Stop the negative thoughts as soon as you catch them and replace it straight
away with a positive one. We all have thoughts like “I’ll never be any good at
this” but you can stop that thought and say “I’m getting better and better at
this every day”. By the same token I also think it is very important to “Know
thyself”. So maybe the lesson is that maybe you won’t actually ever be great at
what you’re trying to do but you will get by. However there will be something
else that you really will be good at and that’s what you should focus on
instead. Accept yourself as you are and work to transform aspects of yourself
that you don’t like.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shouldn’t beat yourself up too much about it, thinking you should have handled
it better. It is always worth checking in on where you are at and where there
is room for improvement. Here are some things I have found beneficial when

opportunity to become more kind, caring, compassionate, empathic, responsible,
creative and aware human beings. There will be periods in your life where you
feel passionate, energised and creative, then you will experience a period of
lethargy, restlessness and fear when you need to heal old wounds. Our major
life lessons usually re-occur time and time again, even if we think we’ve
already deal with them. It is like the Universe is saying “Let’s just go over
this one more time”, testing you and giving you a chance to affirm new,
healthier choices.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mental
health issues now affect a significant percentage of the population, with
anxiety and depression being the most common. From a personal perspective I
always notice my anxiety levels go high when my subconscious is trying to tell
me something I don’t really want to acknowledge. Anxiety flares up at times
when I feel out of control of my life and don’t know how to deal with something.
My anxiety always seems to be worse when I don’t talk about it<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or ask for help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There
are many what I call ‘surface issues’ which can cause an increase in anxiety.
Examples include a brewing relationship problem that needs addressing, a deep desire
to change career, business and money worries, inability to make progress in a
particular area, buying a house and going through legal proceedings. Wherever
there is an ending but no clear sign of a new beginning, uncertainty and
insecurity create a breeding ground for anxiety. There are also deeper causes
such as old emotional issues from the past that have not been resolved. You may
also have had a serious health concern or deeply personal loss in the past, the
worry from which has become habitual, especially when the issue was long term.
The fear and emotions around this time need to be released now that it is
passed so that you can feel safe again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Problems
arise when we suppress something rather than acknowledge and address it. We
hold ourselves tense in order to hold the suppressed emotion inside. When we
relax properly, the tension releases and the suppressed emotion can bubble up
to the surface. I’m sure this is why many people, subconsciously, are afraid to
relax. The holding onto this tension can cause many physical health conditions
that we term symptoms of anxiety. These include high blood pressure, headaches,
back, neck and shoulder pain, poor sleep patterns, poor digestion, fatigue and
irritability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Trauma<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
trauma was encountered in a person’s early years, by the time they reach
adulthood and middle age, it has become so deeply embedded in their subconscious
mind that they may even have forgotten the original experience. The mind has a
tendency to blot out bad memories as a form of protection. I have also heard
that if someone goes through a deeply traumatic experience and the body is
flooded with the fight or flight hormone adrenalin, we are literally prevented
from absorbing the experience and there is literally no memory to recover.
However, in most cases, whatever lies in the subconscious mind, known or
unknown, affects our behaviour, emotions and outlook on life, often manifesting
as symptoms of anxiety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Although
many of the triggers for anxiety appear to be present day, short term issues,
for people suffering with constant anxiety the roots lie in deep-seated trauma
of the past, for example abuse, bullying, poor parenting, separation and
bereavement among others. If this trauma is not dealt with fully and
appropriately at the time, it then becomes the root cause<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of other mental health conditions such as
depression, OCD, anorexia, bulimia, paranoia, personality disorders, PTSD,
bipolar etc. I have also noticed in many cases that poor mental health leads to
poor physical health including back pain, chest pain and heart conditions from
tension stored in the body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Clients
can experience various physical and emotional reactions both during and after a
Reiki healing session. For those of you who are Reiki practitioners, it is
necessary to be aware of this and be able to reassure the client that it is all
perfectly normal.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During
Treatment<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During
treatment it is common to see twitches and jerks in the client’s body. These
are usually seen in the legs and feet and are caused by the healing energy
flowing through the body’s meridians/energy channels and seeking to clear
blockages as it goes. You can just be holding someone’s head and see the feet
twitch. More rarely you can see whole body jerks, shaking or the client almost
sitting up during treatment. This happens when the healing energy is impeded by
major blocks as it flows through the body. These blocks are caused by past
trauma or abuse. The energy is meeting resistance caused by deeply suppressed
pain/trauma which the subconscious mind does not want to release. The mind will
always try to protect itself and therefore may not be ready to address
underlying issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Other
physical reactions during a treatment include warmth, heat, coolness or coldness
in various parts of the body, as well as tingles in the fingers and toes.
Warmth/heat tends to be experienced in areas that require healing. Coolness usually
indicates emotional healing is taking place and chills down the spine result
from energy shifts having taken place. Many clients have a tingly, pins and
needles type feeling in the fingers and/or toes – this just means that any
blocked or stagnated energy is trying to flow out and be released as the client
receives higher frequency healing energy during treatment. Just advise the
client to flick their fingers and wiggle their toes to release it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes
a client may experience a twinge of pain in an area of illness or injury. This
is only temporary and is the body’s way of condensing pain before it is
released.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Similarly
a client may experience an emotional release during treatment. This happens
when they have been bottling up painful emotions which the healing energy is
helping them to release. This happens particularly with people who have gone
through a bereavement, relationship break-up or some other form of loss. It can
be very disconcerting for the new healer to witness a client crying during
treatment and your first reaction is to wonder what’s gone wrong! However you
do need to let them release and process what is coming up from their
subconscious. Just be supportive with a box of tissues and reassure them that
it is all ok and will soon pass. Every time that has happened during my own
treatments, the client has always felt much better for having released their
hurt/pain. In fact it is necessary that they acknowledge and release it as part
of their healing. The negative energy imprint of emotional pain becomes stored
in the energy body, preventing a person’s personal energy from flowing at its
correct vibration, which can ultimately lead to dis-ease and physical ailments.
Clearing this pain and its associated energy imprint allows the person’s life
force energy to flow unhindered once more with the energy body vibrating at the
correct frequency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Treatment<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
is normal for a client to feel tired, thirsty or hungry after a Reiki
treatment. Some people do not get enough sleep, do not drink enough water or
may not have been eating properly, so these reactions are simply the body’s way
of telling us what we need to do in order to restore balance. Feeling tired is the
most common after-effect and most people will have a good night’s sleep after their
treatment as the body does most of its healing while sleeping. Conversely some
clients will feel more energised, lighter and uplifted afterwards as if a
weight has been taken off them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Not
all, but some, clients will experience a strong immune system reaction
following treatment. Healing reactions can include short-term cold and flu-like
symptoms, headaches, skin rashes and increased urination. This happens when
toxins are being cleared out of the body and, once the symptoms have passed,
the benefits are usually long-lasting. Not every client will experience a
strong reaction but, if this happens, just assure them that they will feel much
better afterwards. If the person is attuned to Reiki themselves, advise them to
give themselves more Reiki self-healing to speed the release of toxins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some
people may have emotional healing reactions in the few days following
treatment. Old negative thoughts, emotions and memories can resurface and play
on the mind. Again these are just old issues coming up from the subconscious to
the conscious mind to be released. This can create anxiety in some people but
the client now has the opportunity to let them go once and for all. If this
happens to you, take a deep breath and let the images and thoughts flow through
you and out of you, like watching a movie of someone else on a screen. Continue
for as long as it takes as it will be worthwhile in the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After
Thought<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
is also worth noting here as a footnote that most clients will not experience
any of the above reactions and will find the whole treatment very relaxing,
peaceful and pleasant. When healers are more experienced, they tend to channel
higher, finer energy vibrations which result in less processing on the part of
the client. It is best for the client to simply relax into the process and
trust that whatever happens is for their highest and greatest good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Energy
flows in and out of the chakras when they are functioning correctly but when
they become clogged by negative emotions, wells of stagnant energy are created
at the rear of the chakra which impede the flow of energy to the physical body.
This causes weakness in the surrounding area which eventually leads to
imbalance, dis-ease and illness. The rear aspect of the chakras is said to
relate to our will, while the front of the chakras reflect the feeling or
emotional aspect of the chakra. When the will aspect is blocked, the energy is
turned inwards on ourselves or becomes distorted. Blocked will results in
reduced vitality, drive and enthusiasm for life.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

works to release these blocks by enabling healing energy to flow to release
them. Because these rear chakras can so easily become blocked, I’ve always
believed it is necessary to treat both the front and back of the body during
treatment. If you are doing a seated treatment of course, you can work on both
front and rear aspects of a chakra at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the energetic root of a problem (ie. the underlying mental/emotional condition)
is healed, any accompanying physical symptoms associated with the chakra will
clear up. During or shortly after the session the client may find painful
emotions and/or negative thoughts coming up to be released; in other words they
can be brought fully into your conscious awareness to be experienced and then
released. This releasing process is only temporary and will not last long. At
other times processing can occur on an unconscious level in your dreams which
may be heightened and more meaningful for a short time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A
few months ago one of my students raised an important issue concerning myths
around getting ill when you have been attuned to Reiki. She had been told that
one you are attuned to Reiki, you should never get ill again and, if you do,
you haven’t been attuned properly in the first place. I would like to stress
that this is totally false information!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
majority of people have long term health conditions when they come to be
attuned to Reiki and these can take time to clear. Clients who have Reiki
treatments over a period of time find that the initial treatment feels like a
lifting of heaviness they have been carrying around with them. Then the most
recent conditions are dealt with first, after which the healing works backwards
addressing underlying mental/emotional issues like peeling away the layers of
an onion till you get to the root cause underneath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
truth is we all have various mental/emotional issues (such as low self-worth,
anxiety, fear, grief etc) which can contribute to dis-ease and illness, and we
all have a genetic disposition towards certain illnesses. What Reiki provides
is a means of coping better with whatever life throws at you. Life is a
learning experience which contributes to the growth of our soul. Frankly if you
had no issues and no ailments, you wouldn’t need to be here on Earth!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
has been noted that Dr Usui, the founder of the Usui Reiki system, died in his
60s after suffering a stroke and it does indeed seem unfair that someone who
could channel such amazing healing energy can still be struck down at a
relatively young age with a serious illness. Despite our best efforts, healing
cannot prevent death. We all die at our allotted time, when our work is done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

as a Learning Experience<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Although
a Reiki attunement can lift a negative karmic burden from some students and can
sometimes be a complete healing in itself, this does not happen for everyone
and it is more likely that you will still have to heal your own issues yourself
through regular self-treatment. Physical illness can be a great teacher if we
are able to see the lessons in the challenge and I believe that is why our
illnesses are not just simply taken away from us during the attunement process.
The attunement process does however fill the student’s energy body with a much
greater amount of spiritual energy which the higher self of the student uses in
whichever way it deems best.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Illness
can highlight underlying mental/emotional issues you need to work on. For
example persistent colds mean your immune system needs boosting; shoulder and
upper back pain can indicate a person is shouldering or carrying too great a
burden or too much responsibility; neck pain can indicate a need to be more
flexible; and urinary infections can indicate feeling pissed off with life! Louise
L Hay has written many books about the mental/emotional causes of illness and
dis-ease if you would like to read further into this subject.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
addition, certain emotions seem to be naturally stored in certain parts of the
body. For example anger is stored in the liver, grief in the lungs, worry in
the stomach, stress in the brain and fear in the kidneys. You can focus your
self-healing treatments in the appropriate area if you feel you may be hanging
onto any of these emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Reiki
can indeed boost your immune system, giving you greater resistance to colds,
viruses etc and speed the healing process if you do catch them. However you do
need to give yourself regular self-treatment in order to stay as healthy as
possible. And when you feel you have arrived at a place of perfect health and
wellbeing you still need to maintain this, again through regular self-treatment
and healthy lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

Reiki may not bring about miracles, it can definitely boost your health and
wellbeing. It can contribute significantly towards recovery from
ailments/illnesses, speed the healing process and heal and release underlying
mental/emotional conditions. It is best to see Reiki as a tool for helping you
reach the best state of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing
possible for you. It you use it regularly you can experience a state of balance
and harmony that you wouldn’t otherwise have reached.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Angelic
Reiki is said to be overseen and gifted to Earth by Archangel Metatron.
Metatron oversees the Akashic Records – a record of our lifetimes on Earth
including what we have learnt and what we need to work on. This implies that
our soul seeks experiences on earth in order to grow and evolve, moving on to
the next lesson once a particular one is learnt. Linked in with this, of
course, is a belief that the soul is eternal and incarnates over and over again
in many successive lifetimes. We tend to incarnate with the same group of
people time after time, swapping roles and providing the best learning
opportunities. You may think there are people in your life that you would never
have chosen to reincarnate with but these decisions are taken at a much higher
level than our minds can generally understand. It is said that the most
challenging people in your life are actually your greatest teachers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Even
if you don’t believe in the idea of past lives, you can maybe accept that there
are certain karmic patterns at play in your life that keep recurring. Each time
the pattern arises is an opportunity for you to respond in a different way, to
learn and heal. These karmic patterns are like energy imprints, or stories, on
our soul which affect us positively or negatively. Some can represent our
strengths; others weaknesses that we need to work on in this lifetime. In an
Angelic Reiki session I often pick up themes to release rather than a
particular past life. These can include grief, anger, resentment, low
self-worth and feeling a lack of love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
Angelic Reiki I ask the angels to identify a past life that has left a negative
energy imprint on the soul and to release its associated karmic pattern. There
is no regression, re-living or processing required on the client’s part.
Recurrent themes can be identified which are affecting present behaviour and
beliefs. Bringing something into conscious awareness bring s you choice. Often
just acknowledging these themes can be enough to break a pattern or at least
the hold it has over you. Asking the angels to release it during the healing
session is usually all that is required.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a history of repressed emotions and sexual feelings due to her upbringing and a
history of abusive relationships with patriarchal men. During the first session
there was lots of releasing from the sacral chakra and clearing at the solar
plexus and root. When I asked the angels to perform past life healing I had an
image of a preacher dressed in black, Wesleyan style clothes uttering the words
“sins of the flesh”. This pattern of repression had been carried over from this
past life and involved all the people in her current upbringing as they had
once more incarnated together. During the session the client felt great
forgiveness and love for her sister (who she had not seen in a long while after
their relationship broke down) and felt ready to contact her. She had awareness
concerning her current marriage and saw herself standing in her own power with
her husband, with no more imbalance of power. During the session I asked the
angels to release this pattern of repression and bring her a way to take back
her own power. After the session she had a long talk with her husband and they
are now a lot closer. She also arranged to meet her sister. Her husband has
noticed a difference in her and she definitely has more energy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
the second session I had a past life image of the client living a nomadic life
where she learnt self-reliance but found it very hard to trust others. In this
life she has attracted men who have proved her right in terms of
‘shouldn’t<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>be trusted’. Her challenge in
this life is to open up and learn to trust more. Her relationship with her
husband continued to improve. There is now no more past life clearing to do;
there are just self-worth issues to clear before she can move fully into the
work connected to her life purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had anxiety since the birth of her first child 10 years earlier, along with low
self-esteem from childhood and possibly, she thought, from a past life. She
admitted to being insecure and jealous in her relationships. Her mum left when
she was a baby so she grew up with her dad and siblings. Her siblings often ran
away in their teens. The client had suffered additional traumatic events of her
own in her teens and suppressed her painful emotions with alcohol.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During
our session I picked up themes of loss and abandonment within the family/soul
group. In a past life her family had lost my client in sudden traumatic
circumstances. I had an image of a fast-flowing river and knew she was young.
Interestingly we discovered later that the client was also seeing water at this
point! The theme of loss had been carried over into this life with her family
members abandoning her so that she is the one who has to deal with loss in this
life. At the end of the session the client reported that she had had her own
vision: she saw a man in prison on an island who killed himself. He had done
something bad and wanted to say sorry for what he had done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a difficult relationship with her father and male boss. Her mum, who she was
very close to, had died 5 years previously. In early sessions my client had
images of her mum and a strong sense of her mum being with her during the
treatment. I picked up issues of trust and betrayal within the soul group so
asked the angels to cut negative cords to family members to help my client let
go of past hurts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

recently this client wanted to release blocks around her new healing career.
She had always felt she had had a past life during which she was persecuted for
being a witch for using her healing gifts, which she certainly may well have.
However in the session I saw a past life as a nun who believed that healing was
wrong as it was not approved by her church. This was the past life that needed

suffered anxiety since the menopause and long term depression. She felt she was
held back in life generally by her depression, anxiety and fear. In our session
I saw past life images of both poverty and of a life as a queen where she
enjoyed her status. In this life she is learning to love herself for who she
is, not for what she has or is accorded to her status.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Reiki
and crystal healing are two separate healing modalities which are being brought
together in one treatment more and more often nowadays. Both are based on
energy, or vibration, and are therefore very complementary and compatible.
While Reiki is the channelling of universal life force energy, crystals grow in
rocks in the ground and are filled with life force energy. Crystals have their
own individual crystalline structure and each chemical compound in the crystal
gives it both its physical and metaphysical properties. Metaphysical properties
usually correspond with colour and shape, for example heart chakra crystals are
usually green and pink, third eye crystals are violet/purple.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Crystals
vibrate at a certain frequency based on their physical chemical structure and
on their own subtle energy or life force. When we carry crystals with us or lay
them on various parts of the body, the vibrations of the crystals are
assimilated by and transferred to the user/wearer, bringing about healing,
balance or new, greater awareness. Everyone and everything is made up of energy
(vibration). During crystal healing we absorb and are affected by the energy of
the crystals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Reiki
and crystals work so well together because they each amplify the energy of the
other. Reiki can amplify a crystal’s particular physical or metaphysical
properties further, making it more powerful. This is why so many people
nowadays charge their crystals with Reiki healing energy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Cleansing: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Crystals
should be cleansed before they are programmed. You can cleanse a crystal by
raising its vibration using techniques that remove unwanted energy. This
banishes all unwanted programs, thoughts and intentions from the crystal
without removing its unique healing powers. There are many methods for
cleansing crystals, for example holding them under running water; passing them
through incense smoke or smudging them in the smoke of a cleansing herb;
ringing tingsha bells over them or using the sound of a Tibetan singing bowl;
burying them in sand, earth or salt; passing them through a candle flame (above
it!); leaving them on a windowsill in moonlight or sunlight for at least an
hour. You can also cleanse tumblestones by placing them on a large generator
crystal such as clear quartz, amethyst or citrine. Please note however that
salt can be too harsh for some crystals and water is not suitable for water
soluble crystals such as selenite, turquoise and chrysocolla.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Programming:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Hold
your crystal in one or both hands and hold your program or specific intention
clearly in mind. Using your will imagine projecting that program into the
crystal. Your program can be general, such as programming a crystal to manifest
all the healing properties it has, or to channel Reiki, putting all the Reiki
symbols into the stone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Programs
can also be more specific such as ‘I program you to help me with my meditations
for the highest good’. An amethyst crystal would work well for this. Other
examples are using rose quartz to heal heart issues (physical or emotional),
haematite to ground your ideas and bring focus, turquoise to overcome panic
attacks, fluorite to boost concentration and aid learning, citrine to boost
confidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will find if you look in
crystal books that each crystal can supposedly help with a variety of things,
so programming is a way for you to fine tune what you want the crystal to
specifically do for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Crystals
are usually laid on the body over the chakras or wherever else they are needed.
The choice of crystal is usually linked to the colour of the chakra to
boost/strengthen the energy of the chakra. This is not a hard and fast rule
however as choosing crystals is often an art of following guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
my Crystal Chakra Balancing sessions I dowse crystals first, choosing one to
balance each chakra. I also ask the client to select any that they are
particularly drawn to. I often place a smoky quartz over areas of pain as this
stone is excellent for drawing out and absorbing all kinds of negative energy.
Crystals are placed on chakras and anywhere else on the body or in the aura if
needed. I scan the body and give Reiki to areas of imbalance and boost weak
chakras where necessary. Plenty of grounding is given at the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
the Reiki Master Healer course students are taught how to create crystal grids
for healing others or themselves and how to set up a grid to help manifest their
own goals. Grids are a means of aligning crystals to intensify and magnify
energy for healing or manifestation. The crystals are programmed with a
specific intent, such as to bring a person healing, and the grid is left in
place for as long as is deemed necessary. The grid can be energised with just a
few additional minutes of Reiki each day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Perhaps
the simplest way to use crystals is to give a person a Reiki programmed crystal
to carry with them in their pocket. This focuses their intent upon the programme,
such as bringing about healing or enhancing psychic ability, whenever they
touch or think of the crystal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

#1 was feeling tired and generally out of balance. She is diabetic, was
drinking too much and her skin was not healing well. At her first session
aquamarine was selected for her throat chakra. Afterwards she was able to talk
about her grief and she felt more grounded afterwards. After the first session
she began drinking less. She discovered that cheese and alcohol upset her
liver; in fact she couldn’t keep the alcohol down when she had a one-off binge
with friends but felt very cleansed afterwards. She craved cucumber, avocadoes
and strawberries. By the third session her drinking had been reduced
considerably, just limited to a couple of glasses on Friday and Saturday
nights. A lot of heaviness (responsibilities) had been lifted from her shoulders.
The fourth session was very peaceful. She was becoming more sensitive and was
inspired to give herself positive affirmations during the treatment. After
sessions 5 and 6 her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were all fine and
stable and she felt greater clarity. When she came for her 7<sup>th</sup>
session, she reported recent joint pain, which was eased considerably with a
smoky quartz crystal.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

looking after two young children. She has just had a couple of sessions so far
and finds the Crystal Chakra Balancing treatment more powerful and more
colourful than her usual Reiki sessions, seeing a whole variety of different
colours – red, orange, turquoise white, green, purple. She described the
treatment as shorter but more intense than Reiki on its own and relaxed very
well during the treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

has many benefits, both for the individual, the people around you, even for
your community and society in general. Read on to find out how meditation
affects your brain waves to influence the energy around you!<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">There
are many benefits to regular meditation practice. It helps the brain to
function more coherently on all levels, aids sleep, balances hormones, lowers
blood pressure, improves ability to cope with stress, slows the ageing process,
promotes clearer thinking so heightens intelligence, gradually awakens natural
psychic abilities and strengthens intuition. More synchronicities begin to
appear in your life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">When
you meditate changes take place in the frontal lobes in the brain. Your
brainwaves change from beta (everyday waking consciousness) to alpha (light
meditative state) to theta (deeper meditative state). This triggers an array of
health benefits as well as heightening our senses. During meditation you detach
from your ego self. The frontal lobes become active, enabling the senses to
function optimally. We therefore become more intuitive when we meditate
regularly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">You
will become less affected by external events. Life becomes smoother and more
joyful. When you are faced with challenges, solutions pop into your head. You
can handle stress more effectively and for longer so that you age more slowly.
It is said that if you meditate regularly for 7-12 years, your biological age
at the end will be 12 years younger than your chronological age. You will also
become more creative and intelligent. Meditation therefore creates happier,
more balanced, emotionally resilient individuals – exactly what the world needs
more of right now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Thoughts
of peace and stillness affect the energy around you. If you remain in an
enlightened person’s energy field for a while, you will usually exhibit signs
of peace and enlightenment yourself. The enlightened person is like a tuning
fork – they are able to lift your vibration closer to theirs. It is similar to
the idea behind group meditation: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>when
several people come together thinking thoughts of peace and tranquillity, it
helps the others in the group to get into the same zone. Your brainwaves become
aligned with those of the group. This is why group meditation is more powerful
than one person meditating alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">A
study took place in Lebanon in the 1980s of more than 200 meditators asked to
meditate with the intention to lift the energy and raise the vibration of the
area around then. The results showed a 66% increase in co-operation and a 48%

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
the Reiki Level 2 course students learn how to send Reiki back to past events
in order to bring about healing and resolution in the present. Traumatic events
in our past can still affect us negatively today, especially when the emotions
surrounding them have been suppressed and unacknowledged or when forgiveness is
needed in order to release hurt and wounding that you may be holding onto. Even
if the event was too traumatic for true forgiveness to take place at the
present time, just feeling more detached from the circumstances and emotions
involved can be very beneficial. Sending forgiveness to the past can minimise
the effect the event had, and still has, on you in the present and release the
negative karma between the people involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Forgiveness
can be extended to others but also to yourself. Maybe you have been
continuously beating yourself up about something you did or didn’t do many
years ago. Chances are that it is you who is the one still hurting – anyone
else involved will most likely have let it go by now. Forgiveness is giving
yourself permission to move on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
recent years several scientific studies have shown that by revisiting specific
events that happened earlier in this life, or even those you believe happened
in a past life, and adding information, compassion or forgiveness into those
events, this can affect the energy of that event as it flows into the present.
Going back to that event in the present gives the opportunity to add
information from your adult self that your child self would have been unaware
of. It also gives you the opportunity to imagine hearing the other person’s side
of the story. In other words, it helps you to view the event from a more
detached, objective, different perspective and bring compassion and forgiveness
into the situation where needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
we want to heal the past with Reiki we bring the event to mind, visualise the
people and feel the emotions involved, then visualise/imagine the scene turning
out well, with forgiveness offered and accepted, or just viewing the situation
with detachment. Letting the Reiki energy flow as you acknowledge painful emotions
can help with the releasing process. We are not actually changing the past
itself but we are changing the emotional charge and energetic imprint
surrounding that event. Afterwards, when you think about the traumatic event,
you will find that its emotional impact is reduced and its effects bother you
less and less. It really is possible for people to turn their lives around when
they go back in their minds to add information, forgiveness and healing to past
events because this helps change the way they feel and behave in the present.
Grudges and anger can be released and the person who benefits most is you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On a
wider scale, you can imagine how much greater the effect could be at a global
human level. Whenever terrible events occur around the world, our usual
response is to react with fear and negativity. However, if people were to send positive
thoughts with the intention to heal the situation with love instead, this would
help release the negative karma that was created and help to heal the whole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you
want to send healing to events in your own past, it is possible to do so
without being attuned to Reiki. Hold the vision of the event and hold the
intention to forgive those involved. In your mind ask the people involved to
voice their side of the story. Insights can be profound. Their actions may have
been terrible but understanding does at least remove some of the fear around
the event. When you can truly let go of the painful emotions involved and
extend forgiveness, if possible, this will help to purify the karma between you
and set you free. This is one of the most healing spiritual practices you can
do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Reiki Level 2 course covers the
subject of distant healing and how it works. Namely, when you make a mental
connection to someone, the Reiki energy flows to them “over a bridge of light”
that you have created with your mind - in other words, ‘action follows thought’
or ‘where attention goes, energy flows’. Thought can influence matter. During
my reading and research I came across the following scientific explanation for
distant healing which expands upon the information provided in the Level 2
course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Back in the mid 1990’s an experiment
was carried out by Prof William Tiller in America which involved a small black
box fitted with a simple electrical circuit and four experienced meditators.
The meditators were told to hold the specific intention that the black box
device should increase the pH of purified water by 1 full unit. The box with
the intention was shipped 1,500 miles away to a laboratory and placed near some
purified water in a pH measurement vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Daily meditation commenced and slowly but surely, after a month or so,
the water began changing to the requested intention until it had increased by
exactly 1 full unit. The experiment was repeated with the intention for the pH
of the water to go down by 1 full unit and again it worked. This was repeated
in independent laboratories in America and Europe with the same results.
Furthermore, the water remained at the pH level of the intention in some cases
for as long as two years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">In terms of bringing about a desired
result, you have to get past a certain threshold so that the desired condition
stabilizes. According to the scientific model used above, intention flows via
our chakras and begins to form a specific pattern in the mind lattice grid of
space. Think of places like churches, cathedrals and temples where people
gather daily to pray for a specific outcome. Their intention conditions the
energy in the place. If done on a regular daily basis, the conditioning deepens
so that it eventually creates an invisible structure in the environment. Once a
critical point is reached, the intention becomes set in geometrical patterns on
the structure and it can then materialise into our physical reality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When manifesting anything, including
healing, there has to be a merging of intention and physical reality, an
interaction between consciousness and matter. It seems to be the case that,
with sustained practice, a grid or template is created at an energetic level
through which the energy can then filter down into the physical dimension
according to the intention of the grid/template.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">To make any kind of healing more
successful, not only do you need to greatly desire the process to happen,
visualise it and ask for assistance from the higher dimensions (Reiki guides),
you need to feel it and sustain the heartfelt intention. The same goes for all
kinds of manifesting – belief and intention are crucial and the more emotion
you put behind your intention, the faster and more effective your intention can
happen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">People often ask me why the treatments
they give their loved ones are often more powerful than the treatments they
give to their clients. I think it’s the greater amount of emotion (ie. love)
involved which leads to a stronger treatment. Powerful immune reactions have
been reported as the immune system is given a great boost of mental (intention)
and emotional (love) energy to clear and strengthen itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Don’t forget that you can send distant
healing to yourself as a form of self-treatment. Set the intention to heal at
the highest level (soul level) or to address a specific mental, emotional or
physical condition. This method is ideal if you want to work on a part of the
physical body that you cannot easily reach such as the upper back. For
mental/emotional conditions a purer form of energy often comes through with distance
healing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Psychometry can be described as
reading or tuning into the energy imprinted in an object or place. Everything
around us is made of energy – our thoughts and emotions, the air we breathe,
the solid objects in our homes. Energy contains atoms vibrating at different
frequency. Within atoms are electrons, at the centre of which is a nucleus.
Electrons pull on the nucleus and the nucleus pulls on the electrons, providing
a kind of feedback loop. Every atom, molecule, cells, organ, organism etc
circulates feedback. That feedback provides a memory. Everything that exists
has feedback and therefore a memory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Atoms are in the air and space all
around us. They are also in physical objects such as chairs, walls etc. When
atoms are contained within physical form, they are vibrating at a denser, lower
vibration. I had a very interesting experience in deep meditation several years
ago. I had been meditating for well over an hour and when I had finished I
could actually feel the sofa I was sitting on wobbling or vibrating as the
atoms became less dense as the vibrational energy I was giving out was lifting
into a higher frequency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Atoms are being exchanged between
people and environments all the time through the simple act of breathing in
oxygen which contains atoms which have their own memory. We are constantly
breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. This acts as an exchange
of energy and information, ie. providing feedback.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sacred places such as circles of
standing stones or pyramids are often said to give off a certain energy which
can be felt by those who are sensitive. These structures act like tuning forks.
All the atoms in the structure are vibrating, both extending energy and
information into the space around them and receiving energy and information
back. Stones and crystals can also be consciously programmed with information
or healing power by thought (intention). Energy follows thought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Psychometry can therefore be better
described as retrieving the information or memory held within the atoms that
make up a physical object. When practicing psychometry we usually hold a
person’s watch, ring, bracelet or keys. You can use any object that has been
kept within a person’s presence which contains that person’s energy. Usually
the first impressions you receive are emotional relating to how the person has
been feeling lately. Then you may receive images or impressions. If you are
practicing on an ornament that is usually kept in one particular room, it is
possible to receive images of that room or of an event that occurred within the
room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When practicing psychometry on a
personal object or in a particular place you are actually reading the memory or
imprint absorbed by the object. This is why some psychics and mediums can
‘know’ that something terrible has happened in a certain location. This
information can come as a vision, sound, feeling or just a sense of knowing. I
remember distinctly hearing the sound of monks singing in the ruins of Whitby
Abbey many years ago. Another time on a trip up to Scotland I had a vision of a
battle between English soldiers in red uniforms and an unfortunate looking band
of Scottish peasants. The majority of atoms in our world have been around for
millions and billions of years so the past is always accessible or present
within the present. Seeing a vision with psychometry is like seeing a movie of

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The best way to heighten your psychic
senses to enable you to read objects or places is first and foremost to have a
regular meditation practice. This really is the basis for any kind of psychic
work. You have to learn to calm the mind so that you can reach the stillness
behind the chatter which enables you to receive impressions from your higher
mind, guides and energy itself. I would also suggest raising your vibration by
filling your energy body with white light on a daily basis, ideally at the end
of your meditation practice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Many of us are cursed with mental
chatter that constantly tells us what we should be doing, what we should be
thinking and commenting on everything we’re doing. Our minds can be so busy
that we end up living in our heads and not accomplishing much in our physical
day to day lives. We end up going round and round in circles, distracted and
finding it hard to concentrate on what we want to do. In addition, most people
today are so busy always rushing around trying to fit more and more into an
already busy schedule that it is hard to literally find the time to stop and
take a break from it all.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Our bodies are always sending us
signals (a form of bio-feedback) that tell us we need to slow down and relax.
These can be mental, emotional or physical and can manifest as stress, anxiety
or aches and pains such as headaches and back ache. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">However, since
we are so involved in the things that are external to us, we may easily
overlook what is really going on inside. It is during these times that we need to
step back from the things that occupy our minds and take time out to connect
with our inner self, giving our mind, body and soul the time they need to re-energize</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">and heal.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Initially the idea of taking a break
may sound counter-productive. “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How can I
take a break when I’ve got so much to do?</i>” we ask. In reality however a
period of rest during which the mind is focused elsewhere enables you to come
back to your daily life refreshed and with new perspective. Spend time walking
outside, ideally in a park or wood, to really feel grounded. I always find
trees are an amazing source of strength. Since they are so old and timeless
they really put my worries into perspective because most of what we worry about
this week won’t be an issue next week or the week after. An exercise class also
helps you switch off the mind, as does meeting up with good friends who may be
able to offer a different view point. Having a good laugh with friends always diffuses
tension and stress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A mindfulness form of meditation or
simply tuning into the rise and fall of the breath also enables you to let go
of worries. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This act brings your focus back to the things that are truly essential,
such as your sense of oneness with the universe and your inner peace and
well-being. As you begin to get in touch with this part of yourself, you will
find that your usual everyday troubles and worries become less important and
you feel more capable of dealing with potential stressors. There is a very well-known
piece of advice given to people who say they don’t have time to meditate – “The
less time you have to meditate, the more you need to make time to meditate”.
Just five minutes a day on the bus into work can help you detach from the
mental chatter and think more clearly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Giving yourself
respite from your daily concerns is like giving a gift to yourself - one that
is far more worthwhile than reaching for a glass of wine or a bar of chocolate!
By stepping away from the problems that seem to saturate your thoughts, you lessen
the weight of your troubles and instead become more receptive to the wisdom and
answers the universe has to offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
you are developing yourself spiritually, either as a healer, meditator or
developing your psychic/mediumistic gifts, it can often feel like you are
taking two steps forward and one step back. You will have great days when you
feel really positive and other days when your mood drops very low and you feel
you are struggling to make progress. There are a few reasons for this which I
would like to share with you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Firstly,
the more you open yourself up to spiritual energies, the more sensitive you
become to <u>all</u> energies. These energies come from the people around you,
situations you find yourself dealing with, the place/environment you are in, as
well as the cosmic/astrological influences of full moons, equinoxes, eclipses
etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another important explanation for
the feeling of moving forward one minute then back another is that adjustments
are taking place in your energy body which you need to allow time to settle. By
receiving energy attunements or opening yourself up spiritually, your energy
body is expanding but it will happen at a pace which is not too much too soon
so that your energy body can cope with the changes. Your own guides will
oversee this process.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So if,
like me, you have been feeling lately like you were making great progress one
minute then plunged back down to where you used to be and thought you’d left
behind the next, here is a message from my guides that you may find helpful:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Communicate with us and fill yourself
with the light of your soul. This is the light you seek. You yearn to rest in
the light of your soul at all times as this light can indeed feel like a ‘high’
and indeed is a high vibrational rate. The physical world can seem so dense and
dark in comparison. The darkness you fear is the separation from your soul. You
must channel the light from your soul on a daily basis to find the peace and
strength you need to guide you through the changes that will soon become
apparent in the physical world. You have also been feeling down lately as the
increased light you are now holding has shed light on unresolved issues in your
energy body. Keep channelling the light and this will pass. Being aware of this
process helps you to cope and deal with fluctuating moods.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We from the realms of light bring you
our wisdom and blessings at this time.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A
good spiritual practice to adopt is to cleanse your chakras with white light,
then raise your light quotient (personal vibration). Begin by asking your
guides to send down a beam of pure white light down your central chakra column,
entering your crown chakra and flowing out through your root chakra and into
the earth. Now ask them to send down a ball of pure white light and bring this
into your heart chakra. Be in your heart space now and fill it with the pure
white light. As you breathe out, expand this ball of white light out all around
you to fill the 7 levels of your being. Meditate on this white light as long as
you wish. This will keep your vibrational rate high and act as a form of
psychic protection, protecting you from lower energies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
you are working as a healer, you will find that you often attract clients who
are dealing with similar life challenges as yourself or suffering from
physical, emotional or mental health conditions that mirror your own. I have
discovered there are several reasons for this:-<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
universe is showing you, through other people, what you need to work on in
yourself. If you attract clients with stress or anxiety, your own
stress/anxiety levels may need to be addressed. Equally you may attract clients
with depression or digestive disorders for the same reasons. If you attract clients
suffering from physical pain, you may have your own pain to deal with. (In my
treatments I usually open up the aura to release areas of pain using an
advanced healing technique taught at Master Healer Level but I have also had
great results incorporating smoky quartz crystal over areas of physical pain.
This crystal draws out all negative energy, including both the physical pain
and any underlying mental/emotional issues that are contributing to the pain.
Always remember to cleanse and reprogram crystals after use.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Giving
a Reiki treatment to a client with the same issue as yourself gives you an
opportunity to heal and clear this issue for the both of you. During a
treatment your energy field merges with that of the client and the healing
energy works on both of you at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally
this may also be highlighting a particular energy pattern (for example anxiety)
that you have carried in the past and which you have subsequently cleared and
resolved in yourself. You are now able to help the client release that
particular energy pattern more quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mirroring
Effect<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
mirroring effect is just one aspect of the Law of Attraction. We are all
connected and we are constantly reflecting back to each other aspects of our
own behaviour and thought patterns. The people around you who you find
particularly challenging are reflecting back to you your own unresolved issues
which need addressing and healing. For example you may have “friends” who
constantly undermine you and make you feel worthless. Your challenge is to
stand up and address this, either removing them from your life or establishing
new ground rules. Another example is the person who spends a considerable
amount of their time caring for others, pushing themselves to the point of exhaustion.
The challenge in this case is to find and implement a more workable solution
requesting support from family and friends, pushing for care packages from the
Local Authority where needed or, in some cases, where appropriate, just
stepping back and letting others step in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Importance
of Self-Healing<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
you start your Reiki journey, the focus at Level 1 is on self-healing. The
reason for this is that you need to be as clear a channel as possible so that
your energy is as strong as possible before you start healing others. The
phrase ‘as clear a channel as possible’ implies that you are working on
clearing energy blocks (your own spiritual/mental/emotional issues) in your
chakra system through the practice of self-healing. As a healer you should ideally
make time to do self-healing at least once a week, more often if you have
specific health concerns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
your energy body is clear you will find that energy blocks and associated
issues in your clients are released and cleared more quickly. During a healing
session the client’s energy vibration is raised to become more in line with
yours, like two tuning forks sharing the same resonance. This process is known
as entrainment. You may be able to recall occasions when people in low energy
and mood have brought your own energy down to match theirs and other times when
people in a great mood have uplifted you and filled you with their positivity.
You are affected by other people’s energy far more than you probably realise so
it is well worth considering some psychic protection techniques to protect your
energy body and avoid it being depleted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">By
now you can no doubt see the importance of being in a good place vibrationally
yourself. Self-healing and other spiritual practices like meditation should be
done on a regular basis. You can also cleanse your aura with the Violet Flame
after each client or at the end of each day – just call on Archangel Zadkiel or
St Germain to cleanse your energy field with the Violet Flame and visualise it
cleansing your aura (energy field), transmuting all negative energy into light.
You could also carry smoky quartz crystals in your pockets to soak up negative
energy and visualise yourself in a golden or blue bubble of light to protect
your energy levels in everyday situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Regular
good practice will ensure that you will be the best healing channel you can be
and your positive, high vibration will attract people to you. Subconsciously or
intuitively they know they will benefit from being both in your energy and the
Reiki healing energy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Rose
quartz is widely used today to help heal all kinds of emotional issues and may
have been used as a love token as early as 600BC. Throughout history it has
also been used to improve skin tone and improve wellbeing. It was prized in the
ancient world for its powers of beautification. Facial masks of rose quartz
have been recovered from Egyptian tombs. The Egyptian Goddess Isis supposedly
rubbed rose quartz crystals on her face to keep looking beautiful. Rose quartz
is honoured by Tibetan and Oriental cultures and is still one of the main
carving stones used in China today. In the Indian Ayurvedic tradition warmed
rose quartz crystals massaged on the skin are said to restore the body’s energy
centres.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Rose
quartz strengthens the physical heart and circulatory system. It helps with
chest and lung problems including shortage of breath. It heals the kidneys and
adrenals, alleviates vertigo and is said to increase fertility. It can help
with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and senile dementia. On the skin it smoothes the
complexion and soothes burns and blisters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Rose
quartz is excellent for all kinds of emotional healing. It is calming,
comforting and reassuring and is excellent for use in cases of trauma and
crisis. It releases unexpressed emotions, heartache and transmutes old
emotional conditioning/behaviour patterns that no long serve. It soothes
internalised pain and heals deprivation. It draws off negative energy and
replaces with loving vibes. It strengthens sensitivity and empathy and is
excellent for mid-life crisis as it aids acceptance of change. Rose quartz dissolves
love blockages and opens your heart so you become more receptive to love. Rose
quartz can help attract love: place by your bed or in the relationship corner
of your home. In an existing relationship it can restore trust and harmony and
encourage unconditional love. If you have lost love, it comforts your grief. It
teaches you how to love yourself which is vital if you think you are unlovable.
It encourages self-forgiveness and acceptance and promotes self-trust and
self-worth. It brings compassion, love and balances the emotions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Traditionally
rose quartz has been used to treat emotional issues connected to the heart.
Before use the stone should be cleansed/cleared in running water, ideally pure.
You can also bury it in the earth or in sand or leave out on a windowsill in
moonlight or sunlight. You can then program the crystal for your specific
purpose, such as to attract love or heal a broken heart, by surrounding the
crystal with pure white light, giving it Reiki if you do this and stating your
intention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Many
people like to wear rose quartz as a pendant, some stuff a small piece in their
bra and some put a tumblestone in their pocket. Try holding a piece to your
heart chakra when you’re watching TV. You can also meditate upon the crystal by
observing it closely and letting any feelings arise within you that may need
releasing and healing. Visualise loving pink waves of energy flowing into your
heart chakra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you would like to experience the wonderful healing energy of rose quartz for
yourself, I offer a half hour <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Crystal
Healing/Chakra Balancing</b> treatment for £22 where crystals are place on the
chakras to bring each one back into balance. Reiki is incorporated into the
treatment where needed. For clients who need a more emotional healing (those
suffering from loss, bereavement, grief, low self-esteem, negative self-
thoughts and lack of love in life for example), rose quartz crystals can be
placed on all chakras to fill the client with the energy of love, support and
nurturing. With its strong association with love and emotional healing, I
always feel that rose quartz is one of the crystals which carry an angelic
vibration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Facial</b> which is available on introductory offer of £30 in September 2017.
This treatment combines the healing power of rose quartz crystals with the benefits
of a traditional facial. Rose scented skincare products are used including a
facial massage with rosa mosqueta oil. A large rose quartz crystal is placed on
the heart chakra, smaller crystals placed at the crown and solar plexus and the
client is given palm stones to hold during the treatment. The facial massage is
performed using rose quartz wands, focussing on the acupressure points on the
face. Rose quartz facial wands stimulate cell renewal, improve moisture levels
and boost circulation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Many people suffer from physical pain
on a daily basis. In fact it is stated that nearly half of all adults in the UK
are affected by some kind of pain. Growing numbers of people are therefore relying
on over-the-counter and prescription drugs but many of these drugs can cause
more harm than good. They may relieve the original pain experienced but some,
like ibruprofen, can cause gastric problems, while others can cause nausea and
drowsiness. These drugs are very powerful and can cause problems in the liver
which has to process and break-down these chemical concoctions. Another issue
with prescription drugs of course is that they only deal with the symptoms
rather than addressing the root cause of the pain. Drugs dampen pain signals to
the brain, which can help as an initial first aid to keep you going, but
ultimately you may cause more damage to a joint or other part of the body by
ignoring what is actually going on and why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Various holistic approaches are
available which can support the body through the healing process and which may
even be more effective. Natural pain relief is also free from any harmful
side-effects experienced with prescription drugs. Herbal remedies, correct
nutrition and complementary therapies can all provide effective pain relief.
Mindfulness and visualisation have also shown to be effective and meditation is
now offered in NHS pain relief clinics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">If you are one of the many people in
need of pain relief, this blog contains some natural methods which can be used
to treat common complaints.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Reiki and Reflexology are particularly
good for easing pain, unblocking energy channels and helping the body to heal
itself. I have a couple of clients who come to me on a monthly basis for Reiki
to ease diabetic leg pain and many more clients who use Reiki to ease back pain
and tension in the neck and shoulders. Lower back pain can be a result of
unresolved painful emotions stored in the rear of the sacral chakra. Reiki can
help release these emotions which act as an energy block and prevent your
natural life force energy flowing as it should. This then relieves the physical
discomfort caused by the emotional block. Clients usually notice an improvement
over the next few days. Relief lasts longer the more treatments the client has.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Reflexology works on specific reflex
points on the foot to ease pain, illness or discomfort in the physical body.
The therapist can massage the reflex points relating to the painful body part,
such as the digestive system, shoulders, neck, knees or spine. You can also ask
your Reflexologist to show you the reflex points so that you can massage them
yourself at home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">An Indian Head Massage is particularly
effective for easing neck and shoulder pain and general back pain can be eased
with a Back Massage. Your therapist can work on areas of knotty muscle fibres
and tension to help tight muscles relax back into their proper place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Other therapies that can ease pain
include acupuncture, acupressure, cupping and gentle yoga.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Toxins accumulate in joints and are
usually a build-up of lactic acid. An anti-inflammatory diet is one of the most
effective ways of tackling pain from the inside. This diet excludes processed
foods, refined sugar, caffeine and alcohol.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Rheumatoid Arthritis often afflicts
the small joints in the hands and feet as well as knees, elbows and larger
joints. It is characterised by pain and swelling (inflammation), often with
fluid build-up in the ankles or behind the knees. The best anti-inflammatories
to use to alleviate pain are curcumin (a component of turmeric) and nettle leaf.
Osteo-arthritis is a degenerative joint disease which affects the knees, hips,
back and small joints in the fingers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The best healing foods for joint
inflammation are kiwis, kale, onion, turmeric, chaga mushroom (as a powder),
coriander, lemon, cucumber and apple cider vinegar. Salmon is high in protein
to build healthy connective tissue and is also high in anti-inflammatory omega
3 fatty acids. Ginger contains zingibain which suppresses substances that
trigger pain and cause tissues to swell. You may also like to consider cutting
back on dairy as dairy clogs up the liver which prevents toxins leaving the
body efficiently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

head. They are often accompanied by extreme sensitivity to light, sound and/or
smell, blurred vision, flashes of light, nausea, light-headedness, even
difficulty speaking. Triggers are complex and are usually a combination of
stress, food intolerance, impeded cervical nerves from poor posture, sinus
infection, dehydration, hormonal/menstrual cycle imbalances, lack of sleep,
heavy metal or other environmental triggers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">For general pain relief the following
two products are recommended by the very knowledgeable staff at Little London
Herbal Stores in Nottingham:-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">White willow bark – Good for back
pain, headaches, knee and other joint pain. This product is the natural source
of aspirin so is not suitable for those on blood thinning medication. Available
in tincture, extract or supplement form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Cannabis oil – Cannabidiol or CBD for
short is a nutrient found in the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa, which is now
being used medicinally for the treatment of pain and many illnesses.
Cannabidiol binds to certain receptors on our cells in the central nervous
system to reduce the pain response in the physical body. Derived from only the
legal forms of the cannabis/hemp plant, this product (CBD Cannabis Oil) is
non-psychoactive so you will not be high or stoned. Cannabis oil has proved to
be particularly effective in treating fibromyalgia pain. You put a few drops
under your tongue where it will be absorbed into the body and blood stream via
the mucous membranes. Little London Herbal Stores sell both the cannabis oil
and a cannabis vape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for treating migraines and headaches. You can take up to 15 drops in a small
amount of water up to 3 times a day. Magnesium is an excellent muscle relaxant
which reduces tension in and around the trigeminal nerves in the neck and head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory
properties and is good for calming the gut but it can also be used to treat
headaches and migraines. The scent of aloe vera acts as a muscle relaxant and
eases tension. Rub a small amount into your neck to ease tension here. Tiger
Balm, a Chinese ointment, was traditionally used to ease sore, aching muscles.
It contains natural painkillers menthol and camphor oil. Try rubbing a little
Tiger Balm red ointment on forehead and temples in a circular motion to ease
headaches.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

inflammation and helps repair bone and cartilage by blocking inflammatory
proteins that cause swelling. In a trial of osteoarthritis sufferers in Iran,
the patients taking green tea extract reported more movement in their joints

are recommended by the Primary Care Rheumatology Society for treating
osteoarthritis. Glucosamine helps with the repair of cartilage that cushions
the joints so can help reduce the pain, stiffness and swelling of arthritis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
healing we often talk about blocked chakras or negative energy build-up in our
energy field but what are energy blocks exactly?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
simplest terms, an energy block is a form of resistance. They are pockets of
stuck energy that limit the natural movement and flow of energy in and out the
chakras which prevent us from living as authentically as we should and
achieving our greatest potential. Energy blocks can develop from a negative
mental pattern or belief system leading to perceptual misunderstandings;
unresolved emotions from pain/trauma in our early years; a negative karmic
imprint carried over from a past life; or from a physical injury or condition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Energy
blocks act as barriers to the natural free-flow of energy. On the mental level
barriers are created by negative beliefs about ourselves, others and the world
in general. These beliefs tend to form when our minds are young and impressionable
and lacked the mature reasoning to examine them properly. Over the years this
negative thinking distorts our perceptions of the world around us so that we
only see the negative things which affirm our beliefs. More and more often in
my Reiki treatments these days I am finding the healing energy clearing out the
third eye chakra (which governs perception) to release the negative perceptions
the client holds. We always have a choice in how we perceive something –
negatively, which only hurts and limits us more, in a detached neutral manner
or with an open positive outlook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Emotional
blocks are formed when we hold onto a lot of unresolved emotions from the past.
Often we suppress or deny how we feel on a conscious level but the hurt and
pain is still present in the subconscious mind where it quietly affects our
behaviour and expectations. Feelings of unworthiness block our ability to
receive and manifest good things, often because we are afraid to trust again.
These blocks are often related to self-protection: shutting down emotionally
may have helped you cope at one time but now they no longer serve you and are
shutting you off from the good as well as the bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emotional blocks are held mainly in the
heart, solar plexus and sacral chakras.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Spiritual
blocks can manifest as a sense of unease, restlessness or frustration. You may
feel you are on the wrong path in life or made a wrong decision in the past and
are now faced with the task of getting your life back on track. You want your
life to be more aligned to what is right for your soul. Spiritual blocks can
often result from negative karmic imprints carried over from a past life which
you need to clear in this one. Even if you don’t believe in the concept of past
lives, I think the idea that there are certain ‘stories’ or energy patterns
imprinted on each of us at a soul level are acceptable and understandable <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to most people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">All
of these spiritual, mental and emotional bocks lead to a weakened energy flow
in and out of the physical body. Negative thinking and emotional wounding
result in our energy no longer vibrating at the correct frequency. This leads
to weakness, dis-ease and eventually illness at the physical level. Accidents,
injuries and surgery to the physical body can also create a build-up of blocked
energy on the physical level. Therapies such as Reiki or Acupuncture can
usually help in these cases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sense
of Disconnection<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
spiritual, mental and emotional energy blocks arise when we feel cut off from
the source of Love – our higher self, soul or our concept of God. Blocks act as
barriers to the feeling of connection to Love and to our essential Self. Blocks
limit our sense of wholeness and connection. Blocks are formed when we feel
disconnected and equally, when formed, often serve to prevent us from realising
that sense of connection again. It therefore becomes a self-perpetuating cycle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
order to fully achieve our highest potential for health and wellbeing and to
realise our soul path and the work we are meant to be doing in this lifetime,
it is essential to work on releasing our blocks and shifting these stubborn
barriers. The only thing that can dissolve these blocks is Love, or more
accurately I believe Light, in the form of healing energy and all the
understanding, awareness and forgiveness that Light brings. It is literally
like shedding light on a situation. Love is the Light of God, that divine
healing energy that dispels the darkness of our limiting self-imposed barriers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We
can consciously breathe out emotional pain by breathing in through the nose
into the stomach and abdomen, then consciously breathing out emotional hurts
and negativity through the mouth. These areas are governed by the solar plexus
and sacral chakras which govern self-worth and emotions respectively. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then
imagine your crown chakra opening up like a white lotus flower in full bloom
and visualise a beam of pure white light coming down from the heavens into your
crown chakra. As you inhale draw the white light down into your stomach/abdomen
and as you exhale let the white light fill your whole body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A
healing treatment such as Reiki or Angelic Reiki which channels energy as light
can help to dissolve blocks and barriers. In Angelic Reiki the healer is often
aware of repeating negative karmic cycles the client is experiencing and calls
on the angels to release these. Past Life Regression, shamanic healing, crystal
healing or many of the other forms of energy healing available today can also
help shift blocks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Yourself Free<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
you start to release some of the pain, negativity or darkness and let in more
light, great shifts can take place. Situations and comments that would have
upset you in the past will have less of an impact. By releasing past hurt, you
become stronger. As you move away from your wounded ego with its outdated
negative beliefs about yourself, you start to become more open to trusting,
loving, experiencing – to Life itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is defined as being the state when the body doesn’t have as much water as it
needs; in other words your body is losing more fluids than it takes in. Without
enough fluids, the body cannot function properly.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Dehydration
is caused by excess sweating, insufficient fluid intake and excessive heat.
Fluid is also lost through diarrhoea, vomiting and excess urination. If you are
diabetic or drink a lot of alcohol, you can dehydrate much more easily. In
addition to losing water, when dehydrated the body also loses salt and sugar.
To help restore salt and sugar levels you should drink water, fruit juice or
squash and salty things like soup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Symptoms
of dehydration include excess thirst, dark yellow or strong smelling wee,
feeling dizzy or light-headed, tiredness, dry mouth/lips/eyes, weeing little (less
than 4 times a day), headaches and muscle cramps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Long term results of dehydration are diuretic
conditions (eg. urinary tract infections) and severe edema.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Dehydration
occurs due to a low number of electrolytes and mineral salts in the bloodstream
and nervous system. Water and other beverages on their own often aren’t enough
to combat dehydration on their own. You should replenish properly by drinking
something with the right balance of sodium, potassium and glucose (such as celery
and apple or celery and cucumber juice) to replenish electrolytes. Mineral
salts keep the kidneys and adrenals functioning properly: this is why we often
get swollen ankles when we are low in mineral salts. When dehydrated the body
retains what little fluid it has. Mineral salts regulate body temperature –
they prevent you from over-heating as well as getting too cold. It is essential
therefore to stay hydrated in hot weather so that you don’t overheat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">In
hot weather we should all increase the amount of water, fruit, veg and salt we
consume. All fruit and veg have a high water content but the following ones are
particularly beneficial:-<o:p></o:p></span></div>

digestive system and provides a fantastic health boost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
