Relaxing Into Reiki - Part 2

FUTURE OR PAST EVENT

Reiki distance healing energy can be sent to a past or future event. A childhood trauma can be relieved of its grip on a suffering adult. An important exam or presentation can be performed with a commanding calmness. A Reiki II trained police officer can send Reiki into a home where a disturbed individual is about to harm themselves or others. Reiki sent to hospice patients could reduce the pain and anxiety of those about to expire. Peace would replace fear. One preparing for surgery could experience less pain, lose less blood, and have a faster recovery. I choose the word “could” because the use of the energy is determined by the recipient’s soul. The only guarantee is that the Reiki energy is going to the highest good…it is always does.

SITUATIONS & CORPORATIONS

Situations can often benefit from Reiki energy. The Reiki energy gently works to produce harmony and clarity where anxiety and discord had prevailed. Both the home and workplace are excellent targets of Reiki energy. Relationships that are “stuck” are moved toward the highest good of all. The end results could be resolution or dissolution. All parties will have the opportunity to move toward their higher good. Corporate teams across the country have been utilizing Reiki as a gentle catalyst toward harmony and greater productivity. Dysfunctional teams have moved toward harmony and trust while corporations reap the benefits. Homes and workplaces that just didn’t “feel good” have been cleared of negative residual energies using Reiki’s infinite power.

EMOTIONAL PARALYSIS

Emotional paralysis resulting from an unexpected loss, event or confrontation responds quickly to hands-on or remotely sent Reiki energy. The individual will experience a calmness and clarity that will help them make rational decisions as to their course of action. Thus far, a majority of my Reiki distance energy treatments are to individuals who have lost their ability to function due to an emotional upset. Hurts inflicted by loved ones rank high on the list for producing an emotional paralysis. The individual is so gripped with emotion that they cannot even secure medical or psychological assistance. I am still in awe as to the power of Reiki to bring peace to where there was once chaos.

REIKI DISTANCE TREATMENTS - SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

The beauty of Reiki distance healing is it’s practicality and it’s power. As a trained scientist, I can understand the need to have more than anecdotal evidence. Only after I experienced the power of Reiki first hand did I truly believe in its authentic power.

For those of you who would like to seek out some data, I can direct you to some scientific evidence. Distance Reiki is energy directed like a powerful prayer. By “prayer” I am speaking of directing your energy rather than asking for divine favors. Dr. Larry Dossey has documented scientific studies on the power of prayer. Before Dr. Dossey’s early book, “Healing Words” was published in 1993, only three U.S. medical schools had courses exploring the role of prayer in health. Currently, nearly fifty medical schools offer such courses. The majority of them use Dr. Dossey’s books as the textbooks for the courses. References are made to controlled double-blind experiments with unknowing groups of human patients. The results affirm the undeniable power of prayer.

A second set of experiments that can be researched are those conducted by Bruce and John Klingbeil, the founders of Spindrift. Their experiments on prayer utilized simple organisms instead of humans. The choice of less complex subjects reduced the variables inherent in human studies. As expected, prayer significantly affected the germination of seeds as well as vitality of various lower organisms such as yeast and molds.

As a certified and experienced Reiki Master/Teacher, I view the acceptance of Reiki energy as both preventative and healing intervention. The amount of time and sessions required varies from individual to individual. I have observed that major life changes and physical healings may take some time. It took a bit of time to create the illnesses or situations, thus patience and trust is helpful. On occasion, illnesses that are being forced from the body actually get worse before they get better. This is when it is so very important to continue with the treatments. As your body is working to rid itself of toxins, it is extremely important to drink large quantities of water and continue with prescribed medical/psychological medications and recommendations. Reiki should not be used as a substitute for medical care. It should be used as a compliment to professional medical/psychological care, medications and recommendations.

North Cyprus Property Market opens to Russians

After months of negotiation, the Russian parliament has voted to approve a treaty with Cyprus, paving the way for Russians to buy property in Cyprus under more favourable conditions. The new treaty replaces the one signed between the two countries in 1998. In the past decade, Cyprus has signed several double taxation treaties in an effort to make the Cyprus and attractive place to set up off-shore enterprises and to buy property. Despite the numerous treaties, the signature from the Russian parliament is perhaps viewed as the most important one on the list. Scores of Western businesses have established a presence in Cyprus to trade with Russian companies and Russians are now viewed alongside the British as the most important international buyer group on the island. Ukraine balks from treaty Although the Russian government ratified the treaty, the communist Ukrainian parliament has rejected a similar agreement between itself and Cyprus. The Ukrainian government believes that the old treaty between the Soviet Union, of which the Ukraine was a member, and Cyprus in the 1980s, was too generous and allowed private individuals and companies to avoid paying the appropriate level of taxes in their home country. It has since rejected the new treaty with Cyprus and is likely to take a further six months for it to be altered and put before the country’s government again. The Cypriot parliament is also unsure of the treaty’s composition and believes that it goes against the nature of the original agreement.

Why Our Tears Are Salty

Salt can be found in every cell in our bodies. In an adult human there is a total of about 250 grammes (a cupful). Is it any wonder our tears and sweat are salty.

So that our bodies can function properly, salt is essential.

Exercise, in hot weather etc, we sweat and this depletes the body of salt, which must then be replaced. Most crucially, salt helps keep the balance of our bodily fluids, that carry nutrients and oxygen around our bodies.

When I was nursing, we nurses cried many salty tears when patients would not drink enough water. Working out the ‘Fluid Balance’ was difficult enough without some stroppy patient refusing to cooperate.

Fluid balance is measuring the amount of urine a patient passes in 24 hours and the amount of liquid the patient drinks. Ideally both figures should be about the same.

If the patient drinks too much and doesn’t pass enough urine, the result could mean damage to the kidneys. Or if the other way round, the patient doesn’t drink enough, the body will store the excess salt and may cause water to gather around the heart, and this is bad news for the heart. This water swelling is called Oedema.

Salt Has Two Elements

Sodium and Chloride.

Sodium

Enables the transmission of nerve impulses around the body, this regulates the electrical charges moving in and out of the cells. Our taste, smell and touch are controlled by Sodium. Sodium helps all the muscles in the body (including the heart) to contract. Signals to and from the brain depend on Sodium.

Chloride:

Helps with the digestive process. Preserves the acid-base balance in the body Absorbs Potassium Helps the blood to carry carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs

The healthy body is able to adjust the amount of salt needed to keep everything working well.

If we need more water, because the body is storing too much salt, we get thirsty. This helps flush out the kidneys and the excess salt is passed out of the body.

What Are The Symptoms of Insufficient Salt?

Muscular Weakness Muscular Cramps In very hot weather - Heat Exhaustion

A Dire Warning:

Severe salt deprivation can even prove fatal.

Salt and The Pregnant Woman

Quite often during her first pregnancy, a woman will suffer with High Blood Pressure. This can be aggravated by some conditions such as Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease or carrying several babies, such as twins etc.

Sometimes prescribed drugs are not useful. Salt restrictions and diuretics can have the opposite effect.

Evidence shows that by having a low salt diet, a pregnant woman can cause problems for the unborn child.

Senior Citizens and Salt Restrictions

Especially in the Summer Months elderly people are inclined to not drink enough as well as not being able to adjust to the heat. So between the two, it could cause a dangerous situation.

The salt lost through sweat is not replaced - the blood thickens and as the blood cannot pass through the blood vessels freely; the blood pressure rises.

What Happens If The Blood Pressure Rises?

This can put extra strain on the heart and can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

JUST A PINCH OF SALT

New research shows that 22 million people in the UK are now trying to cut down the amount of salt they eat. This has been achieved partly by not adding any extra salt to the food they eat.

It has been found that by checking the salt content on the labels of food products on the Supermarket Shelves, consumers can make their own choices of how much salt they should have in a day.

There are adverts on the television and in the newspapers recommending that an adult should have no more than 6 grams of salt in a day.

Eating too much salt puts your heart at risk. High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease and Stroke is the cause of death of over 170 000 people a year in the UK.

Studies have shown that by reducing salt intake, Blood Pressure can be lowered within four weeks.

If you want to be a statistic, don’t aim to be a dead one. Cut down on your salt intake now!

Article Writing: Your Personal Library of Books

We write and we write well. At least we hope that we do. Still, we writers need our own library of “go to” books to help us write with strength, market our wares, and simply to inspire us to greater works. I’ve compiled a brief list of useful books for the serious article writer’s library. Some I own, while others I plan on buying.

The Chicago School of Style, 15th Edition - Considered by English speaking authors as “the Bible” of proper grammar usage and style, this 950 plus page reference book is everything you need to have on hand when you simply are not sure about punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc. Surprisingly, the book is not stuffy as it allows serious writers some flexibility with the rules. If you have been writing for some time, you know that rules do change. I was shocked when even the Chicago School started a sentence with “and” in it. Oh me, oh my!

Guerilla Marketing For Writers — I am very curious about this title as I have seen reference to it on various writers’ web sites. Essentially “Guerilla Marketing” espouses the need for writers [particularly book authors] to spend as much as 33% of their time marketing. Hmmm…writing in and of itself is so involved. Who has the time?

Writer’s Market — Every year since this reference book was first issued in 1921, the Writer’s Market has served writers in finding places where they can submit their work for payment. The book lists contact information, submission guidelines, and tips on all the who/what/when/where/why of the “word” industry.

Random House Webster’s Pocket Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation Guide Okay, I admit it. When I don’t feel like lugging the “Chicago Style” around, this Random House book meets most of my needs. 300 power packed pages that will easily fit in your laptop carrying case, purse, or suit jacket pocket.

No, I rarely use a dictionary anymore nor do I rely on a thesaurus. Everything I need is right online or part of my Word program. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely a 21st century writer who manages to write, edit, rewrite, submit and accomplish a multitude of related tasks from the ease of my laptop computer. No pencil and paper for me, except when lounging by the river or down at the beach. Oh, for more of those types of experiences!

Foods To Avoid During Pregnancy

These are the foods to avoid during pregnancy. Remember everything that goes into your mouth goes right into your developing baby!

1. Mercury-High Fish
Certain types of fish are very high in mercury, mainly swordfish, mackerel and shark.The FDA also recommends only one serving of canned tuna each week for the same reason. Mercury is a dangerous heavy metal that’s toxic to both you and your baby.

2. Undercooked Meats and Nitrates
Undercooked meat can have bacteria and parasites that could seriously effect your growing child. Also, avoid hot dogs, bacon and most sandwich meats since they are chocked full of nitrates.

3. Raw Fish, Shellfish and Sushi
Eating raw fish could possibly transmit tapeworms or other parasites. A tapeworm can suck nutrients away and therefore deprive your developing child.

4. Raw or Undercooked Eggs and Soft Cheese
As with undercooked meat, soft cheese and raw eggs can carry bacteria. Be sure to thoroughly cook any egg products before eating them.

5. Alfalfa and Other Raw Sprouts
The way in which most sprouts are grown is a great breeding ground for bacteria. Healthy adults might be able to resist the bacteria, but you don’t want to take a chance with your baby. Even if you grow your own, avoid alfalfa sprouts since they contain a natural toxin.

6. Left-Out Food
In general, don’t eat any food that has been sitting out on a counter or buffet table. The more something sits around and warms to room temperature, the more possibility there is that unfriendly organisms can grow in it.

7. Junk Food
Your baby must get all its nutrients from you. Just taking vitamins isn’t enough. You need to be full of good nutrition. If you fill up on doritos, you won’t have any room left for the foods that can really help your baby grow strong, healthy and beautiful.
