REIKI AND CANCER by guest blogger Emily Walsh

I'm pleased to persent this wonderful assessment of Reiki as a complement to medical treatments. Thank you to Emily Walsh for so successfully capturing the essence of this divine healing tool.

Studies Show Reiki Helps Humans and Animals Cope with Cancer

With the endorsement of medical professionals,such as Dr. Mehmet Oz, Reiki is becomine an increasingly well-known form of energy medicine. Developed by Mikao Usui in 1914 afater a mystical encounter, Reiki was first practiced by Usui and has been passed down through a lineage that continues to the present day. A form of healing and relaxation that balances the body's life force, Reiki strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, and helps the body heal itself. Its spiritual energy affects the body mentally, physically, and emotionally.

How Does Reiki Work?
The life force enrgy that flows in and around the physical body supports its cells and organs. When this subtle energy is blocked, the area that is obstructed functions less effectively and is prone to illness. These blockages can be caused by trauma or by negative thoughts and beliefs. Reiki not only restores the flow of energy, but it also raisesthe vibration of the energy field and infuses it with positive energy. This process removes toxins, promotes relaxation, and encourages healing. Reiki may be administered bith the hands slightly above the body , or it may be send by long distance.

How is Reiki Used?

Reiki is an effective way of keepng the body whole and healthy, thereby preventing disease and stress-related ailments. It can be used on everyone from infants to the elderly, and some practitioners specialize in giving Reiki treatments to animals. It may also reduce stressin caregivers and help to prevent stres-related illnesses.

Reiki has recently gained popularity as a complement to traditional medical protocol and has shown promise in reducing the side effects of cancer and chemotherapy. Recommended by the Amerian Cancer Society as an adjunct to standard care,Reiki is now being used to treat difficult cancers, such as mesothelioma (www.mesothelioma.com) -- an aggressive disease caused by asbestos exposure. Although not proven to extend meosthelioma life expectancy, it has shown promise in making patients more comfortable.


What Are the Results?

According to the law os physics, energy vibrates at different frequencis, emitting white light. The higher the frequency of vibration, the brighter the th elight is. When this energy is channeled with intetnion and intuition by trained practitioners, the subtle energy field around the body can be changed, releasing blockages and making it easier for the body to deal with trauma. As a result,the folloinwg benefits are frequently observed:
Improved sleep
Reduced fatigue
Overall sense of welll-being
Decrease in level of pain
Less anxiety and depressons
Sense of connection
Faster recovery from surgery or infections
Better circulation
Stronger immune system

Although Reiki is a spiritual practice,it requires no believe onthe part of the recipient. In fac,t even those who are skeptical may benefit from the one-on-onecontat with a caring practitioner. The power of stouch has already been shown to be an effective ingredient of good physical and mental health. Since Reiki treamtnts have virtually no negative side effects, it offers great potential with very little risk.

God’s Covenant With Animals: Stewardship, Not Rule

What is our human responsibility to the earth and its non-human inhabitants?  Traditional Biblical scholars would say one of master-servant and ecologists would say one of caretaker.  However, using either frame, neither movement has responded in full view of the evidence presented throughout the Bible that God clearly included animals in covenantal relationships. With Biblical scholars neglecting  the sanctity of animals and secular environmentalists neglecting God.  A closer look at the Old Testament reveals that God designed humankind’s role in relation to the animals as one of stewardship rather than domination .  Traditionally religious people often cite  Scripure justify  a master/servant relationship between humans and animals  rather than one of partnership, but  deeper investigation invites us to see texts rich with references, both literal and figurative, to the partnership between humankind and the animal world.  From Gen...

Living with an Old Dog: Every Moment a Blessing

This morning I thought my old girl, Ingrid, had died, and I was stunned as I tried to lift her head and leg and they just fell, heavy, onto the bed. I didn't even see her breathing. It felt as if there was no life in her body at all. I surrounded her with my body, thinking she was gone, calling her name.....and then she moved. :-'(. I thought, "this is the way I want you to leave," peacefully, without drama. Maybe she was practicing. I cried much of the morning. But she's still here....a blessing. She turned 14 last week and quietly enjoyed a small birthday party attended by her two housemate dogs and three other dog friends.  She was subdued but enjoyed enough birthday treats to the point of vomiting them up onto the couch at midnight.   She can no longer climb into the bed and anxiously paced back and forth along the foot board until I lifted all 50 pounds of her and she curled up and slept till morning.  On occasion I would awaken in the middle of the...

Ingrid 6/24/2003 - 4/18/2018

Ingrid was the boss of the house, the boss of the toys, the boss of the boys, but never, ever, the boss of me. She was my princess and in her last year, everything she requested was hers without question. If I was busy on the computer and she wanted to push her head under my elbow to demand some petting, I stopped typing. When we came in from outside at night, she sat facing the fridge, looking at the top of it like a star gazer, waiting for me to take down the jar of treats and reward her for nothing more than coming back into the house. I dread taking my shower this morning, because she was the bathroom girl and i always wobbled getting out of the shower in an effort to avoid stepping on her. But the bed -- that was the throne from which she ruled. I bought her a leather ottoman last year to help her climb into it which she did immediately without any prompting or instruction. She slept on the lower right quadrant of the queen size bed but sometimes inched her way up next to me which...
