Reiki

Introduction:
Reiki is an ancient form of harmonization by laying on of hands which was rediscovered in the mid 1800s.This method of transmitting universal energy can bring great relief to the receipient;not just in the physical body,but also on an emotional,mental and spiritual level.Dr.Mikao Usui of Japan has founded Reiki.

What Reiki is not: 
Reiki is not mind-directed energy,polarity therapy or therapy using magnetism.With these approaches,the therapist must see the energy coming into them and direct it with their minds.In these approaches to healing ,illness is considered as negative energy.The therapist,who is filled with positive energy,attracts the negative energy like a magnet,pulling it away and removing it from the client.One of the biggest fears is that the negative energy from the client will somehow attach itself to the therapist,making them ill.Or conversely,there is concern that,if the therapist has negative energy,it could be picked up by the client.

What are the effects?
The most common effects of a Reiki session are deep relaxation and a sense of inner peace.This creates an ideal environment in which the body can maximize its natural healing process.Reiki can be used safely at any time,in any place,and for everything-from problems with conceiving to alleviating the pain of terminal illness.It requires no particular belief system and is a powerful complement to all forms of healing,including general medicine.

Reiki is given from the heart and is often experienced as the receiving of unconditional love.This love has the power to bring back to a state of peace and harmony.This state can be described as health or wholeness.

Five Spiritual Principles of Reiki:

• Just for today,I will let go of anger.
• Just for today,I will let go of worry.
• Today,I will count my many blessings.
• Today,I will do my work honestly.
• Today,I will be kind to every living creature.

Bio-energetics

Introduction:
Energy therapy,or bioenergetic therapy as it is sometimes called, refers to therapies that use an energy field-electrical, magnetic, sonic, acoustic, microwave, ifrared-to scree for or treat health conditions by detecting imbalamces in the body’s energy fields and then correcting them.

This detection of energy level imbalances in the body is essential for providing an early warning system for potential disruptions in chemical balance that may lead to disease.Balance can then be restored using holistic therapies,or with treatment devices that rebalance the energy levels of the various fields before the chemical or structural disturbances can occur.

Types of Energy Therapy devices:

Most  of the energy therapy devices are based on the accupuncture meridian system.Acupuncture works on the principle that there is a network of energy channels,called meridians,throught the body.Different organs are associated with different energy meridians,and health problems in various organs show up as disturbances of energy in the associated meridians.Acupuncture points,or acupoints,are the points along the meridians where energy flow can be measured and manipulated.The examples of electroacupuncture devices developed based on this thoery are as follows:
Dermatron,Cumputron,Vega,Mora,Tens,Electro-Acuscope, LBG (Light Beam Generator),Diapulse,Cymatic instrument,Infratonic QGM,Telsar watch etc.

Qigong

Introduction:
Qigong combines movement,meditation,and breath regulation to enhance the flow of vital energy in the body,improve blood circulation,and enhance immune function.Because qigong can be used by the healthy as well as the severely ill,it is one of the most broadly applicable systems of self-care in the world. In China,it is estimated that 200 million people practice qigong everyday.

Qigong is also refered to as chi-kung is an ancient Chinese exercise that stimulate and balance the flow of qi, or vital life energy,along the acupuncture meridians.Like acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the qigong tradition emphasizes the importance of teaching the patient how to remain well.In China,the various methods of qigong form the nucleus of a national self-care system of health maintenance and personal developement. Qigong cultivates inner strength,calms the mind,and restores the body to its natural state of health by maintaining the optimum functioning of the body’s self-regulating systems.

How does it work?
Qigong practice can range from simple calisthenic-type movements with breath coordination,to complex exercises where brain wave frequency,heart rate,and other organ functions are altered intentionally by the practitioner. When practised regularly,qigong’s combination of movement, reverse damage caused by prior injuries and disease,and promote relaxation, awareness,and healing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that qigong stimulates and nourishes the body’s internal organs by circulating qi. Qigong can break  down energy blocks and facilitate the free flow of energy throughout the body,promoting blood and lymph flow and the even flow of nerve impulses necessary for proper health maintenance.”The overall benifit of qigong is to mobilize and harmonize the body’s naturally occuring healing resource”.

What are the effects?
Recent medical studies in both China and the United States show that qigong can reduce stress,increase circulation,and provide resistance to disease. Today,most hospitals in China include qigong as part of their health care programs,with cetain hospitals devoted solely to its study and practice. Thousands of qigong institute also provide qigong instruction,while major centers in Beijing,Shanghai, and Guangzho train qigong teachers and carry out government-supported research.
