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 in the Old Testament

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 Genesis through Prophets and Wisdom Literature, the writers of the Ol

Animals, Divorce, Picador: Living in the Moment

I once heard George Carlin say dogs can't tell time; they don't differentiate between one minute and one day, so when we leave them, upon our return we get the same exuberant greeting whether we were gone for three hours or three seconds. This merits some thought. Is it that animals don't recognize time or that they don't worship time the way we do? We obsess over time lost and time coming; we struggle to retrieve the past, seeking some previously missed key to consequences we endure in our ongoing life sagas. Or we project and fantasize about the future, what will be, what could be, what we want. Doing so, we miss the present moment, the essence of a happy life. The Buddhists teach us that by living in the moment, we have no expectations and feel neither sorrow nor disappointment. So sensible. So difficult. Do our animals experience disappointment and resentment? If they do, such states are momentary. I am still winding through my fresh divorce, which I know in my hea

Surviving the Loss of a Pet: Tips to Get Through the Grief

Your animal has died and you are distraught. You have never felt such deep and prolonged loss and are afraid to share this with others who will minimize and perhaps dismiss your pain as misplaced or trivial. Wrong. All of us who have shared life with (not "owned") animals have entered and emerged from this unavoidable black hole, and we'll likely revisit it as long as we live with animals whose life spans do not equal ours in measure. What can you do with this grief? 1. Give yourself permission to grieve, and give your self permission to grieve hard. Experience it. Embrace it, even. It's real and it's potent. Avoiding grief, burying it, masking it, will guarantee its future re-emergence as a larger and more devastating threat to your well being. 2. Remember. Remember the joy and mischief, the silly songs and the serious training, the intimacy and the frustration, the quiet support and cuddles your dog gave you when he sensed you needed them most. 3. Talk
