How to feel better – what is honesty?

admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 08:34:54 +0000

What is honesty?

“Integrity is telling myself the truth, and honesty is telling the truth to other people”….Spencer Johnson

Most of us are not honest either with ourselves or with others. How many people when asked “how are you?” reply “very well thanks” or “fine thank you” which is actually far from the truth. Not many of us really are very well or fine. Many of us are often sad, depressed, stressed, angry, or resentful and much more.

While I applaud everyone who works hard at staying positive I feel that the times we are in now are all about being authentic to ourselves, and others, and this requires true honestly. We can no longer pretend that we are something that we are not.

If you are one of those people who is pretending to be happy and positive but have repressed negative emotions such as anger, resentment and fear, somewhere at some time all that negative energy inside you is going to come out and will effect either your physical health, your spiritual health, or your emotional health, and possibly all three.

This is often the reason behind a person who suddenly looses their temper over a small thing. That small thing is the tipping point that releases some of the build up of the suppressed negativity within.

Living in an honest way is taking responsibility for ourselves, in every moment, and being brutally honest about how we are feeling and doing something to change ourselves.

Over the years I have met many spiritual people who believe themselves to be in a great emotional place, believe themselves to be loving and evolved beings when the truth is, they are a long way from this state. By the way I was one of those spiritual people, before I began to admit to myself that I was actually not who I was pretending to be!

We need to face our fears honestly and deal with them, and heal them. It is only then that we can begin to become our authentic self, and by learning to recognise the truth about ourselves on a daily basis, we can move forward, change and evolve that we can then actually get to a point when asked how we are we can respond by saying… “absolutely fantastic thanks” and mean it!

Learning how to love yourself, negative & positive thoughts

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:26:53 +0000

We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, searching & yearning for that special love. Feeling empty and lost without it. Wanting someone to give us love and fill us up.

Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. In order to be truly loved & to be able to completely love another, we must learn how to love ourselves!

Until you know how to love yourself there will be an inner war going on that divides your energy and sabotages your efforts to move toward happiness.

I think most of us would be shocked if we could hear our inner dialogue from day to day played back to us. We would see just how many times a day we judge or criticize ourselves harshly.

“There is something wrong with me. I’m really messed up.”

“I’m bad.”

“It’s all my fault.”

” I don’t know what I’m doing.”

“I’m not (good, smart, attractive, rich, etc.) enough.”

“I should have (fill in the blank).”

“I’m not as (good, smart, attractive, successful, etc.) as that person.”

“I’ll never get that job.”

”I don’t deserve to be happy. I don’t deserve to be loved. I don’t deserve to have what I want.”

”That person doesn’t like me. No one likes me.”

The Power Of Words

Dr. Masaru Emoto shows the powerful effect that our thoughts , words & feelings have on us. In his research he attached written words to containers of water, such as “Thank you,” “I love you,” and “You fool!” Then he froze the water and took photos of the water crystals with a microscopic camera. In addition to using written words, he varied his experiments with thoughts, music and pictures.

The results were amazing!

In every case where there was a positive energy used, through written word, a verbal statement, or a picture, the photos of the frozen crystals were pretty. The water crystals formed into intricate symmetrical patterns.

On the other hand, in every case where the energy was negative, the crystals were small, misshapen and deformed!

So imagine the effects of the negativity hurled at yourself until you learn how to love yourself.

Remember, our bodies are about 60% water (it varies, depending on the individual), and this is just revealing what happens to the part of us that is water when we are hit with negativity.

it stands to reason that this is happening on ALL parts of ALL our cells. and we wonder why there is mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual illness in the world!

So, how can you change the habits of a lifetime?

Emotional healing therapies like ICH Therapy can help you heal the negative thoughts & feelings you have towards yourself so that you are able to truly love yourself for who you are!

Help with depression in Buckinghamshire & Berkshire

Depression & Healing

There are many types and severities of depression with a wide variety of symptoms.

Some of the signs are:

Sadness
Hopelessness
Loosing interest in life
Anxiety
Worried all the time
Sleeplessness, or sleeping too much
No appetite
Feeling tired all the time
Sometimes feeling suicidal N.B. If you are feeling suicidal it is important to get help as soon as possible.

In my experience more and more people are reluctant to simply go to the Dr and get some pills that will have unpleasant side effects if their symptoms are not severe.

You cannot beat depression with will power and neither can you “pull yourself together”. There is no simple way to overcoming it and it takes time but there are things you can do beat depression.

To beat depression requires action but start with small steps. Only do those things that you know you can do!

Begin with a couple of easy goals, and be patient with yourself. It is not easy but you can get there step by step.

Take one day at a time. If you feel walking would help just start by going around the block. Be kind to yourself and reward yourself when you do manage to achieve one of your goals.

Simple lifestyle changes such as exercising every day, eating healthy food, avoiding the urge to isolate yourself, making sure you get enough rest and relaxation can all help.

There are natural supplements that can help, and sometimes listening to music can help lift your energy.

Meditation can also help over a period of time.

Turn to family and friends for support if possible, and try to get out of the house and see other people. Email or phone someone or meet a friend for coffee.

Complementary therapies such as Reiki Healing or Hands on Healing can often help as can therapies that focus on negative feelings and beliefs, and finding the deeper causes of your depression such as ICH Therapy or Theta Healing.

For Reiki Healing results can often be felt with one session, and for others it may take 4 to 6 treatments.

Meditation – Benefits for natural healthcare & healing

Meditation not Medication!

Should I meditate? Yes!

How will it help me? Meditation will help lower your stress levels, lower your blood pressure, lower your heart rate and much more.

Meditation can be explained as a connection to life force energy, which is food for your nervous system.

In the meditation process you are consciously reconnecting to the life force energy in your awake state, which is when we are most stressed.

When we are awake we are normally at our most stressed, and this is when we punish our systems.

Every time you connect to life force energy whether it is through meditation or hands on healing or other techniques your body, mind and spirit starts to relax. You could say that you are re filling source energy within you when you meditate, just as when you have a Reiki or hands on healing the practitioner is channelling that energy to you and you take whatever your body needs.

During the process of meditation the slower deeper breaths taken are also very good for us and even if you cannot find time to meditate every day just taking some slow deep breaths for a few minutes will help.

There are a many thoughts on how to meditate, when how often and for how long.

My personal opinion is daily for about 15 minutes, and there are some very simply ways to begin…

How to deal with & help to reduce stress in Buckinghamshire – Reiki

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:50:15 +0000

It seems that more an more people are suffering from stress. Life is very stressful and whoever you are, whatever you are doing it doesn’t really make a lot of difference. Everyone is stressed by their lives in one way or another. Stress is very much part of all our lives in 2012…

Finding ways to de-stress and relax is essential to our long term health, because if we do not look after ourselves properly, if stress is ignored for any length of time, the chances are that we will become ill and can often develop chronic health problems simply because we ignored all the warning signs that we were not coping with stress. Early signs of high stress are:

Anxiety
Tired all the time
Sleep problems
Unable to concentrate
Digestion problems
Palpitations
Aches and pains
Muscle tension
Mind Racing
Anger
Road Rage
High blood pressure
Skin problems
Nervous habits, such as nail biting
Grinding teeth
Weight loss or increase
Easily irritated
Headaches
Hair loss

There are many different ways to deal with stress and we need to find the ways that work best for us as individuals. It takes commitment to change your stress levels because essentially you will have to do enough for yourself in different ways that work to help you feel calmer and more relaxed during each day. Feeling stressed is your body signalling that you are not in balance and that you need to change your ways!

Having a Reiki Treatment or a Spiritual Healing can be very beneficial and can calm and sooth you, leaving you feeling that you can cope easily. Hands on healing such as Reiki balances your body, mind and spirit, and often brings not only a more relaxed and peaceful feeling but also brings a feeling that all is well. Very often after having a treatment for stress there is a new perspective….something shifts from within and we have clarity about the best way forward.

Eating healthy pure food, adding lots of raw vegetables to your diet, get enough sleep, take regular exercise and make sure that you are breathing properly. There are lots of ways to relax before you go to bed including drinking camomile tea.

Simplifying your life, and making space for walks in nature and listening to soothing music can help too, as can meditation and yoga.

What is Reiki?

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:35:29 +0000

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word which mean Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us.

The Usui system based on an ancient Tibetan Buddhist technique, developed in Japan in the late 19th or early 20th century by Dr Mikao Usui (1865–1926).

Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.

Reiki traditionally is a hands on form of natural energy healing, however a hands off approach can also be taken depending on the clients preference.

How does Reiki work?

Reiki is the spiritual life force, or vital spiritual energy, said to reside in all living things so this is a therapy in which the therapist channels this energy from him or herself into the patient by the gentle laying on of hands, to activate the natural healing processes of the client’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

This healing is safe, gentle and can be very powerful. It will help your body self heal and also works on every level to balance body, mind and spirit.

People often describe their healing session as being wonderfully relaxing and that they can feel a lovely warmth.

What happens in a Reiki Session?

During a session you will be asked to lie down on a therapy bed but will not be asked to remove any clothing except for things which could restrict your breathing or comfort.

Treatment is given by the positioning of hands gently on or over your body in a pre-determined sequence of hand positions, spending several minutes holding each position. These hand positions are non-intrusive, can cover both the front and back of the body and are sometimes varied to give Reiki energy to areas where it is specifically needed.

You may feel sensations such as heat, tingling, coolness or throbbing under the practitioners’ hands as the energy flows, or in other parts of your body, or you may feel very little. Most commonly people experience a sense of well being, calm and relaxation, fall asleep or feel energized during. There is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki.
