Spiritual healing techniques are all linked by a common faith in universal life energy. The power of belief will help you to heal.

There are many different kinds of spiritual healing, from laying on of hands to color therapy, but all share the common belief that some illnesses can be cured without medicine or surgery. Christians ask God to help a loved one get better; Chinese mystics point to Chi Energy that needs to be rebalanced. Both know that there are invisible energies in the world.

Healing thoughts

Whether you choose to believe that these energies are controlled by a higher being or are just a part of nature that we can tap into, you can still learn to channel them. By drawing them into your body, you will benefit from a boost to your health and vitality.

Life force energy flows throughout your body, the blockages can occur in any of the major chakras.

Invisible healing energy

All forms of spiritual healing work for me, believe in a life force or universal energy that is found in all living things, and even affects inanimate objects such as crystals and rocks. The invisible healing power is commonly known as Chi – the term used in traditional Chinese healing, and is considered to be an intangible flow of energy that runs through the body, nourishing and healing it. Health can be affected by a blockage in the flow of Chi, so many healing practices from Crystal healing to Reiki and shiatsu, focus on restoring balance to the energy flow.

This energy is invisible to the naked eye, although some people believe that the aura, given off by your life force can be photographed using a method known as Kirlian photography. These images show the electrical energy that emanates from physical matter.

A guide to spiritual healing

There are various methods of spiritual healing, most of which are fully compatible with one another. Many of these healing methods are explored.

The power of your mind

The power of the mind to heal the body is often underestimated in Western medicine, but it is central to many of the ancient spiritual healing practices. It has been widely noted that the desire to get better plays a role in how quickly someone recovers from illness or injury.

The power of belief. In the case of spiritual healing practices, understanding how a therapy works is not as important as believing in the ability to heal. It is our faith in a healer’s ability to rechannel energies or select an appropriate Crystal that ensures our well-being. Belief in a higher power, be it the Christian God, nature, magic, or a healer’s hands, is the key to ensuring that therapies can work.

Many therapies fall into the category of spiritual healing but all rely on the power of belief and faith.

Vibrational therapies and visualization

Vibrational therapies are based on the idea that everything is surrounded by an electromagnetic energy field that resonates at its own frequency. When the body is in good health, this frequency remains fairly constant, but it can be disrupted by ill health.

Crystal healing is one of the best-known vibration therapies.

Therapies such as color therapy, crystal healing and sound therapy aim to rebalance or absorb negative vibrations and restore happiness and health to our bodies; it’s a rebalancing of energy.

Additionally, visualization and meditation can play a role in some Vibrational therapies. For example it is thought that visualizing yourself bathed in a particular color has the same effect on your mood as looking at that color.

Color therapy utilizes our emotional response to specific light waves in the visible spectrum. The type of healing that occurs depends on the color used.

Channeling energy

Once you have opened your mind to the concept of a universal healing energy, you can start learning to channel it. Channeling energy is performed to draw vitality from the world around you into your own body, or into someone else’s to aid healing and boosts general well-being.

Energy therapies practice as diverse as Crystal healing, Reiki and spell casting use tools, even if it is simply the reiki healer’s hands, to focus and harness the flow of energy. The energy centers known as the chakras are often the focus of such channeling’s and can be stimulated by various means.

Reiki works to aid the flow of life energy throughout the body, for restoring health.

The laying on of hands

All of us appreciate that a loving hug can lift the spirits. We also know that gently massaging sore muscle or rubbing a bruise can make us feel better. Healing hands, some therapies take this idea a step further, believing that certain people are born with special abilities enabling them to heal through the power of touch by, laying hands on to the sick person.

Some healers believe they have an innate power within themselves, while others believe they work on behalf of a higher being, such as the Christian God. A hands-on healer uses their hands to channel or redirect healing energy; therefore they use their hands as a tool for well-being.

LaHoChi energy quickly travels to the part of the body out of balance and clears, cleanses and energizes the area back into health. The higher the frequency of healing light the healer can access, the more complete the healing will be on all levels. The more you practice this technique the better you get at moving high frequency healing through you and to others.

The healing light enters through the crown chakra and is downloaded to the heart chakra. It then flows down through the hands and to the recipient. To my knowledge, this is the highest frequency, laying on of hands healing modality available on the planet in written form to anyone at this time. All healings are permanent and continuously propel us towards infinite spiritual perfection.

Hypnotherapy, or self-hypnosis after you’ve discovered ways to make use of the instruments yourself, could be a extremely productive software for asking the proper of ‘internal’ questions. By way of example, have a imagine concerning the adhering to:

Several people claim which they have never been hypnotized, nevertheless they do confess to obtaining drifted off even though imagining a couple of loved just one, forgetting big chunks of the motor vehicle journey (normally recognised as freeway hypnosis), or ‘going someplace else’ though looking at a e book.

Among the nice items about hypnosis is always that from the arms of a dependable practitioner it can be harmless and provides no harming aspect results, although offering good therapeutic gains.

What does Hypnotherapy Include?

Hypnotherapy can be a two way process amongst the therapist plus the customer, a specialist partnership. Anyone can’t be hypnotized until they agrees and co-operates – this can not be stressed ample. Also while hypnotized, no one can make you need to do anything which you do not want to do. Even people men and women on tv ingesting raw onions and pretending to generally be Madonna are performing it simply because they want to! They’ve got decided on to take part. It have to be emphasized in this article that what hypnotherapists do is, by definition, therapeutic. Stage hypnosis may be very various. It is actually a method of leisure.

Treating Causes Not Just Symptoms

by Marian Brown

Pets continue to be popular in our society, yet the reasons we have them is changing. No longer are our dogs, cats, and horses “working” for their keep, they have become trusted companions and family members. They enjoy the comforts of our homes, and in recent years the benefits of improved health care and specifically holistic veterinary care.

Holistic veterinary care, like that of human care, looks at the “whole”, not just isolated parts. It focuses on resolving the cause and the problem, not just alleviating symptoms. Overall improvement of the quality of life and living is the goal. In addition to western approaches, such as antibiotics (drugs) and surgery, holistic approaches include acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, herbology, Bach flower remedies, and nutritional therapy.

A major key in holistic veterinary care is that the doctor looks at the whole picture. Most will take a detailed background of the animal–medical being just a part. They will look at the environment the animal came from and where it is now, any recurrent problems and their pattern, and the pet’s relationship with its owner (and family members). From this information the veterinarian, with the owner, can work to pinpoint causes and develop appropriate and feasible treatment plans. The plan may include several approaches and phases with optimum health as its goal. An example may be that the pet receives an antibiotic for a severe infection, acupuncture for improved healing and well-being, and an improved diet.

Holistic veterinary care in the Western world is still in its infancy. The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, based in Maryland, was just founded in 1981. And more recently in 1988, acupuncture was recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Both veterinary acupuncturist and chiropractors have formed their own organizations to help educate and create awareness of the alternatives available in veterinary care. Homeopathic veterinarians participate in the National Center for Homeopathy.

Holistic pet care has come a long way in just a short time, but it still has a way to go to be accepted and utilized by more pet owners.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese study of the natural and “built” environment and has been practiced for thousands of years. This environment can be at the office, in your home, in a building, or on real property. A Feng Shui analysis examines the surrounding environment, the building, how the people interact with the building and looks at time-related factors. Based upon these considerations, recommendations can be made on how to improve your relationship with the environment around you. Results include prosperity, health benefits, and well being. Properly applied, Feng Shui recommendations can result in improvements in the life of the individuals who occupy the property.

How did Feng Shui originate?

Feng Shui can be stated as a form of “Geo-mancy” or “Earth Wisdom.” Many cultures in the world have a form of Geomancy in their history. The Chinese form of Geomancy, or Feng Shui, has evolved to be both an Science and an Art. The science comes from the calculations and methodology used in analyzing a property. The Art of Feng Shui is the wisdom acquired from performing a multitude of analysis and knowing the exact degree to which the remedies (which are the results of the scientific analysis) are prescribed.

Throughout ancient China, classical Feng Shui was a closely guarded discipline used as a tool to ensure the good health, wealth, and power of the Imperial Dynasties. The keepers of this secret body of knowledge – Feng Shui Masters*, were highly respected meteorologists, astronomers, and other scientists and who were charged with sustaining the good fortune and prosperity of the royal court. It has been guardedly passed down the generations through very specific lineages.

*These masters were very selective of their protégées. Extreme care was exercised in the selection of candidates who would become their successors.

How are these principles applied?

Feng Shui is based upon a set of theories and complex calculations derived from the I-Ching. This includes an in-depth understanding and application of the basic principles. Using these principles and taking into account the physical relationship between the natural environment and the magnetic fields of the Earth provides a “blueprint” of the influences around us. Using this blueprint we can see clearly the energies or “Chi” that effect us in our properties.

How is a Feng Shui analysis done?

The Feng Shui practitioner first observes the environment, using a Lo Pan (compass) to determine the orientation of the property. Calculations are then completed according to the basic principles. Then a determination of the energy characteristics within the property and its resulting effects on the occupants is made based on the results of these calculations. Remedies are then prescribed where necessary in order to balance the energy to produce a positive effect!

Energy balancing is based on the existence of patterns of energy within and around the body that form a matrix used by the body to maintain itself in a state of “wellness.” The principle behind balancing is that every living organism is in constant movement, a vibration of energy, a contraction and expansion of the life force itself. Life energy moves within every cell of the body through channels called meridians or currents generating energy fields both inside and outside the body. These fields may be influenced to temporarily alter the flow of energy within the body.

The Flow of Energy

This temporary influence may be the result of (or) caused by the stress of illness, disease, injury, emotional trauma (past or recent) or psychological factors. In the normal course of events, when a physical correction, such as the ingestion of proper nutrients is made, the body naturally corrects the flow of life energy. If, for some reason, the flow of energy remains out of balance, energy blocks may be established and chronic health problems arise. In energy balancing we work to release these energy blocks and balance the flow so that healing can take place naturally.

Influencing the Energy Flow

Balancing deals with the energy that flows through and energizes the body’s organs and tissues. In practice when influencing energy, bi-polar contact is used, that is, we use two contact points on the patient’s body simultaneously, a positive and negative contact, using hands, fingers or some combination of the two. By temporarily influencing the energy flow, we remind the body of its natural state of health, a harmonious flow of life energy throughout the body, expressed physically in balanced cellular and biochemical activity. This remembrance of health allows the body to hold this harmonious flow as the body heals itself.

Binaural Beats- Sine wave generators are used to create two separate frequency waves, which are introduced to each ear independently. The brain reacts by creating a third tone, making up the difference of the two. It instantly reacts to these frequencies causing a Shift In Consciousness. Using this technology, your brain can be programmed to weed out interferences and open up the communication channels inside your mind that are blocked by your own consciousness.

Monaural Beats- This technology uses two tones of equal intensity which result in a crisp and clean sound. Unlike Binaural Beats, Monaural beats are easier on your brain because there is no need to balance the tones and your mind does not need adjusting time. Monaural Beats use a single tone that pulses on and off in specific patterns, which is tuned specifically for the frequencies that produce the desired effect.

Isochronic Tones- If you are looking for the most effective type of brainwave entrainment, Isochronic tones are the way to go. Isochronic Tones also use equal intensity tones, but the pulse speed is greater, causing the brain to synchronize with the rhythm.  In 1999, Thomas Budzynski Ph.D.  published a case in the Journal of Neurotherapy which showed that a group of 8 college students increased their GPA with the use of audio brainwave stimulation, and their GPA continued to increase even after the brainwave entrainment was finished….

The next time you’re at a fast food restaurant look around at the decor. The colors are bright, cheery and fun. Do you think the designers picked those colors just so you would be “happy” while you were there? Think again! Not that they don’t want you happy, but bright colors such as red, orange and yellow have been proven to stimulate the nervous system and increase your appetite. This idea is associated with an ages-old principle called “color therapy”.

Color therapy is based on the fact that physiologic functions respond to specific colors. Exactly how does this happen? Attached to the brain are pineal glands, which control the daily rhythms of life. When light enters through the eyes (or the skin) it travels neurological pathways to these pineal glands. Different colors give off different wavelength frequencies and these different frequencies have different effects on physical and psychological functions. The example given above with yellow, red and orange in the fast food restaurant is just one way this principle works.

Before looking further into more examples of how color therapy has been put into practice, let’s look at specific colors and their proven effects.

Black: self-confidence, power, strength

Blue: calming, lowers blood pressure, decreases respiration

Green: soothing, relaxing mentally as well as physically, helps those suffering from depression, anxiety, nervousness

Violet: suppresses appetite, provides a peaceful environment, good for migraines

Pink: used in diet therapy as an appetite suppressant, relaxes muscles, relieves tension, soothing

Yellow: energizes, relieves depression, improves memory, stimulates appetite

Orange: energizes, stimulates appetite and digestive system

Red: stimulates brain wave activity, increases heart rate, respirations and blood pressure, excites sexual glands

Color therapy can be practiced either with colored light or color pigments such as paints or swatches.

Using colored light for therapy has been in practice a very long time and we see it happening every day, whether we realize it or not. Research was also done to test the effects of colored light on muscles. When subjects were using a hand grip and exposed to blue light, their grip lightened, while other tests have shown that when muscles were exposed to red light the electrical activity in them increased.

Exposing the body to colored light is also believed to aid in healing. Green light is believed to help heart problems and cancer, while blue is used to treat ulcer pain, inflammatory disorders and back problems. Red helps treat skin problems, bladder infections and anemia while orange works on allergies and constipation. Yellow light can also heal muscle cramps, hypoglycemia and gall stones.

Color therapy can also be incorporated by using paints or simple blocks of color. Back to blue and its calming effects, studies have shown that when disruptive children were placed in blue classrooms, their aggression subsided dramatically. An even more interesting report stated that when officials in England switched the color of bridges in London from black to blue, the rate of suicide at the Blackfriar Bridge decreased by 34%.

Pink is another color that has had proven remarkable results. As part of a weight control program at Johns Hopkins Medical University in Baltimore, patients are given a color square called “bubble gum pink,” which has shown to suppress appetite and stress related snacking. This same color has reduced the violent tendencies of prisoners as well as having calmed excitable mental patients.

So, if we want to experiment with color therapy on a private basis do we need to carry color swatches around with us? Not necessarily. Practicing color therapy can be as simple as choosing the color clothing you’ll wear to what color you paint your bathroom.

If you have a busy day coming up and you need to feel energized, wear orange. If you desire to give off an air of power and strength, wear black. On the other hand, some say that if you are uncoordinated DON’T wear red.

Since yellow helps improve memory, try studying by writing your notes on a yellow legal pad. If you desire total relaxation at the end of a long day and take a long soak in the tub, paint your bathroom green.

So you see, there are many different ways to experiment with how color affects you. But if you tend to get the “between meal munchies”, you might want to carry around that swatch of bubble gum pink.
