Shamballa “Spritual Warrior” Reiki
May 25, 2009 · Posted in Qigong Healing · Comment
Scott Meyers asked:
Shamballa Reiki is an important subset of the Reiki craft. Shamballa Reiki is a combination of two methods of healing that, when used together, can be called upon to access universal energies. The idea of Shamballa is based on older Eastern practices. One usually uses Shamballa Reiki in conjunction with other forms of Reiki practices in order to improve the overall experience.
Shamballa is an ancient Eastern concept that is often associated with Buddhist practice. “Shamballa” means spiritual warrior. In the practice of Shamballa, one goes through several levels of training. In each level, they learn new concepts about things such as basic goodness and learning to live your life with love and goodness. Part of the concept of the Shamballa method is to be able to look inwards for the answers. Those who have achieved those answers can then take Shamballa precepts to help enlighten all of society. To be enlightened in this sense means to have an unlimited amount of compassion for those around you. This basic concept of universal goodness is practiced through meditation techniques.
Shamballa relies on the traditional concepts used in Reiki to allow healing through the universal energies. One starts by first looking inwards for certain blocks of energies and concepts, then one moves outwards by following the Reiki tradition and replacing inner energies with universal energies.
By combining both of these concepts, of inside and in the general community, one who is enrolled in Shamballa Reiki will be able to heal and find empowerment within them at the same time. From this good state, one will be able to take the concepts into their everyday lives. Those in Shamballa harmony can practice ways and techniques through discipline and meditation in order to find enlightenment, empowerment and compassion.
When a practitioner is using the Shamballa Reiki method for your healing, they will call on certain universal energies to help him and you. Usually, these will be based around ideas and concepts of love from universal energies. Bringing in outside forces intensifies the experience, and allows for a different type of energy to be manifested when you are going through a healing session with a Reiki practitioner.
If you are interested in practicing different techniques of Shamballa Reiki, there are several classes that you will be able to take. These will often focus on traditional Eastern healing methods. This may include things such as Qi Gong, strengthening exercises and meditation practices. By combining these methods, you will multiply the effectiveness of each and arrive at a better state in the end.
The combination of older Eastern traditions with Reiki has helped for those who are interested in studying Eastern philosophies and helped them in their healing processes. By studying Shamballa Reike, you can become a spiritual warrior in everyday life. You can also learn how to empower yourself in two ways, internally and externally, by calling on universal energies.
If you are interested in finding a different method to your healing, while using a secondary method with it, then Shamballa Reiki may be something for you to look into.

Alternative Health Careers – Five Occupational Options
May 14, 2009 · Posted in Qigong Healing · Comment
CarolAnn Bailey-Lloyd asked:
As the field of natural healing therapies continues to grow, so does the demand for alternative health careers. Some of the diverse healthcare occupations that alternative and complementary medicine offer prospective students include healing arts disciplines in massage therapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine, natural health, and acupuncture, among many others.
Today’s alternative health careers like massage therapy require specific training and education; including an expanding minimum standard of 500 instructional hours comprised of basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology), Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage. Other related studies like CPR and first aid, as well as business management and client communications are commonly integrated into this program of study.
Homeopathy is also a unique option to those seeking alternative health careers. Similar to most medical programs, homeopathic courses require rigorous educational studies like anatomy, biochemistry, homeopathic philosophy, physiology, materia medica, and other comprehensive coursework. To successfully acquire alternative health careers in homeopathy, individuals should review educational prerequisites as most homeopathic colleges and schools typically require some formal training and education prior to enrollment.
If you’re drawn to alternative health careers that involve herbal medicine, a number of holistic education programs including Chinese medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy and natural health commonly offer herbology and aromatherapy as part of their curricula. Choose from beginner classes to more advanced training options like earning your degree in herbal sciences.
Natural health professions are also part of the vast array of alternative health careers. Earn your diploma or certificate as a natural health practitioner after you’ve completed an in-depth course in natural healing therapies like massage, aromatherapy, herbal medicine, Reiki, and reflexology. Healing arts schools vary in subject matter, so check with prospective schools prior to applying.
Of these alternative health careers, acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners probably have one of the most unique educational foundations. In addition to learning both Eastern and Western medicine philosophies, acupuncture education offers a rare look into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles and theories; including needling techniques, Tai Chi, moxibustion, Chinese herbal medicine, Tuina, Qi gong, and even Chinese medical language, among others. Prospective students should be aware, however, that alternative health careers in acupuncture do require several years of dedication.
If you (or someone you know) are interested in learning more about these and other alternative health career options, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore training programs for alternative health careers near you.

Reiki: the Breath of Earth and Heaven
May 6, 2009 · Posted in Qigong Healing · Comment
Taggart King, Reiki Evolution asked:
In this article I would like to talk about the energy that we work with when we practise Reiki: when we work on ourselves and when we share Reiki with others. The energy that we channel is described in various ways: we are said to be working with universal energy, we are passing on unconditional love, or chi, or prana. But there are aspects of the energy that are not being explained through this use of words, and in this article I want to talk about the essence of Reiki energy. In doing this we will touch on Taoism, QiGong, Shintoism, meditation, breathing, chanting and the use of the Reiki symbols.
Now many people reading this article will be practising something called “Joshin Kokkyu Ho”, an energy breathing method taught in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, the Usui Memorial Society in Japan – part of a longer sequence of exercises referred to as “Hatsurei ho”. It was also used in Mikao Usui’s original system, according to a group of Usui Sensei’s surviving students who are in contact with one or two people in the West. Joshin Kokkyu Ho translates as something like ‘technique for purification of the spirit’ or ‘soul cleansing breathing method’, and on its own ‘Kokkyu Ho’ means ‘the way of breathing’. When we use this method we are moving energy in time with our breath, into and out of our Tanden (Dantien in Chinese), it is a way of achieving balance, but there is more significance to this technique than simply moving energy through our bodies.
With each in-breath we are filling the body with ki. This ki is yin in nature, it is the breath of earth, of physicality and the power of separation. By contrast the out-breath distributes ki throughout our bodies. This is yang in nature, it is the breath of heaven, of spirituality and the power of unification. So from the moment that we practise Joshin Kokkyu Ho we are experiencing earth ki and heavenly ki.
In fact, earth ki and heavenly ki are what we are: we are physical reality and we are spiritual essence. In Taoist philosophy, Earth and Heaven – along with Humanity – are known as the “Three Powers”. Humanity is in a pivotal position between the cosmic powers of heaven and the natural forces of earth, covered by heaven above and supported by earth below. Qi Gong, the energy cultivation technique which is practised in Japan as ‘kiko’, allows us to work with these two energies and bring them into balance. Shinto practices also refer to these two basic energies, these two essential aspects of what we really are.
It is not surprising, then, that these two energies are the basis of Usui Sensei’s spiritual system, and latterly his healing system. When we practise Reiki we are working with earth ki and heavenly ki, in a conscious or unconscious fashion; when we channel Reiki, we are channelling either the ki of earth or heaven, because that is what we are.
But Usui Sensei’s system goes further than just acknowledging our true nature, our physical and spiritual nature, because Reiki allows us to fully experience our physical reality, and fully experience our spiritual essence. This is a powerful method for achieving balance. We can return to that state of perfection we enjoyed at birth, before life corrupted us; we can be reborn. How this was achieved is as follows: At second degree in the original system the student would be shown how to experience earth ki and heavenly ki, they would learn to ‘become’ the energies of earth and heaven. How this was achieved very much depended on the student’s background, since Usui Sensei varied his teachings and methods according to the needs of his students. If the student had a Buddhist background then they would have used meditations, and if they had a Shinto background then they would have chanted sacred sounds called ‘kotodama’. Later on in Usui’s system, symbols were introduced for the Imperial Officers, but all these approaches had the same end in mind: to fully assimilate, to fully experience or become the energies of earth and heaven, the essence of what we are. The meditations, the kotodama, and the symbols are all tools used to trigger, to invoke within us, to allow us to experience an energy or a state. Second degree is all about getting to grips with earth ki and heavenly ki, to fully assimilate those energies, to reconnect to what is within and realise our true nature.
CKR and SHK represent earth ki and heavenly ki respectively, but they do not represent something new: these two energies are already within us. They do not represent something additional that we are connected to: they emphasise or flag up something that is already there.
Now, Usui Sensei’s students worked long and hard to assimilate or integrate these energies. The might have spent 6-9 months just meditating on one energy, before moving on, so there were no short-cuts and it was a long process. They started with the energy of earth and moved on to work with the energy of heaven. We can echo that original practice by working with the energies of CKR and SHK. It is not enough to be ‘attuned’ to a symbol – whatever that means – and it is not enough to use a symbol in practice when treating someone. To fully get to grips with an energy we need to meditate on the symbol, using its energy individually, not combined with others, and we need to commit ourselves to doing this regularly if we are going to fully experience the benefits that are available through Usui Sensei’s simple spiritual system.

National Acupuncture Day Registration Ends Wednesday Oct. 24 at Noon

Thomas Cutler asked:
Acupuncture has been used for over 3000 years! It is estimated that as many as 43% of Americans have used or are currently using some form of complementary or alternative therapy such as acupuncture or Oriental Medicine. In recognition of this fact and in support of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day, officially observed on October 24, is part of an effort to increase public awareness of the progress, promise, and benefits of acupuncture and Oriental medicine. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day is supported through a unique international partnership of organizations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The partnership includes professional associations, research organizations and educational institutions.
Oriental medicine is a comprehensive health care system encompassing a variety of traditional health care therapies that have been used for more than 3,000 years to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being. Acupuncture is one of the essential elements of Oriental medicine. Other elements include Chinese herbology, bodywork (such as acupressure and shiatsu), diet and exercise (such as tai chi and qi gong), all based on traditional medicinal principles.
All Oriental medicine modalities are intended to improve the flow of qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi regulates the body’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and is influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). According to traditional Chinese medicine, when yin and yang are balanced, they work together with the natural flow of qi to help the body achieve and maintain health.
According to a National Institutes of Health consensus panel of scientists, researchers, and practitioners, clinical studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment for nausea caused by surgical anesthesia and cancer-related treatments, as well as for dental pain experienced after surgery. The panel also found that acupuncture is useful by itself or combined with conventional therapies to treat addiction, headaches, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, and to assist in stroke rehabilitation.
Celebrate Acupuncture Awareness Day with the highly trained staff at Enlightened Healing on Wednesday, October 24, from 5 – 8pm. According to practitioner Anali Garcia, “As part of the celebration we are providing free food and drinks, free Traditional Chinese Medical tongue and pulse diagnosis, free stress-reduction treatments with acupressure ear seeds, free tuina (chinese massage) chair mini-sessions, and free informational literature.” Additionally, the first five guests receive a $100 gift certificate good toward services with Anali Garcia, A.P.
The offices of Enlightened Healing are located at 811 SE 8th Ave Suite 209 (Near SW 10th and Federal- US1) in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Space is limited, so those wishing to attend this fun, interesting, and informative event must telephone 954-427-1663, no later than noon on October 24th.
