Energy Healing – Basics

We humans as any other life form are meant to self-heal.

Energy healing methods like chakra/ aura healing, crystal healing, reiki etc…work on the basic principle that world including all life forms are made up of energy. If these energies are in perfect balance then we are in perfect health, both physically and emotionally. Imbalance in energy creates, pain, dis-ease and emotional up’s and down’s. The practitioner always starts with self, hence called a “healed healer”.

A healer removes the dark energy from the person and puts in light instead. The most important tools of the healer are faith (in the modality / God), Intention, Intuition & love. With faith the healer sets the pure intention to heal the person with love while trusting his ‘intuition’ as his guide. This can be developed by anybody, just by practice and faith.

Simple way of making these energies work in our favour is by correcting our thought process choosing more loving, peaceful and joyous thoughts, instead of negative thoughts of guilt, shame, anger, worry, etc…. The happier you are, the higher vibration you are at. Next important thing which we all can do is - be in the company of positive loving people, because we tend to attract others energy & vice versa. Or just by being aware changing the negative reactions into more positive ones. Water is a good purifier of energy, that’s why we feel fresh and energetic after a shower in the end of a tired day.

Let's, make the most of your energy.

Art of Receiving

We often forget that receiving and giving are ‘two sides of the same coin’.

From childhood, we have been programmed & encouraged to give unconditionally. From generations, the giver is seen in a greater light than the receiver. That’s great; but it has led to a mental block which puts receiving in poor light.

Let’s look into why receiving is so important – Firstly, giving is directly dependent on receiving eg; if we have money then we can donate it whole heartedly to the cause we believe in. Remember that we come into the world empty handed. Secondly, we are all humans and hence we have needs. Even the spiritual saints have spiritual needs. These needs can only be fulfilled when we are open to receiving.

Sometimes when we have a deep desire for something we pray and ask God/ higher powers to help us fulfill them. The best way our higher powers can help us is through fellow humans and when such help, knocks at our door step, our ego steps in and we very often reject this help.

Here’s how we can improve our receiving ability.When somebody showers us with gifts or when someone opens up for helping us, we need to just take a moment and accept it graciously with genuine gratitude. Yes, “take a moment” because otherwise out of habit we would half-heartedly disgrace it by calling it “formality” or even worse accept in ungraciously by expressing “this isn’t what I wanted”. Please remember – The giver has already received, and to complete circle they are giving.

Is your Battery 100%

Yes, it’s about “You” not your gadgets. When we have slept well and wake up, fully charged. That’s a feeling most people hardly experience these days. Oh! I do wish we humans were as simply wired as our gadgets, so we could connect ourselves to a power plug when we are low on battery.
What depletes our battery? Surely over usage without rest, stress, ill health, wrong food & drinks.

Negative thoughts create stress and anxiety and hence insomnia. A good way to controlling negative thoughts is by first recognizing that it exists in you. Next, understand that it is not a reality but just a thought. Mind, like our body needs care for our wellbeing. Meditation is a good place to start.

With a peaceful mind, comes peaceful sleep. Over the years, it’s become hip to sleep less because it is viewed as a frivolous activity, hence considered waste of time (which ‘successful people cannot afford’). But in reality, sleep is like meditation it can recharge you and you will be able to give more output in less time. Arianna Huffington, Forbes #12 most influential woman in media, once collapsed due to lack of sleep and since then became a “sleep evangelist”.

When health is making us feel drained… that’s the way our body reminds us to pay more attention to our-self. Half of all diseases can be resolved psychologically. For rest of the diseases we have advance medicine on our side. Most of the common diseases these days are lifestyle diseases, for which a simple lifestyle change is needed.

Still feeling dull??? Check your diet. It’s not only alcohol and caffeine that saps on our craving mind but also heavy junk food and sugary sweets too. They give us instant energy and gratification and then, they drain us out. Still we give ourselves reasons for having them. Can we stand proud, when we make a healthy choice next time and give a pat on the back to someone who has done the same.
