Inspiration

Reiki is not a practice, is a lifestyle, is something that someone IS, not brings or channels.
I am Reiki, I don't practice it.
I act in my life in the Reiki state.
I elevate my vibration transforming myself.
I talk to people and carry on with my life being one with All That Is.
I send Love, Light and project this state to all around me just to remind how much they are the same.
I don't heal you, you heal yourself.
You ask for me, attract me, as a reflection to see yourself, to get to know yourself better and better.
I'm just a tool and a mirror.
Look in the mirror, see what you have manifested in your life.
Clean your beliefs and blank your mind.
Listen to the silent noise of Universe.
And let it talk to you.
Let it show itself to you.
Listen to your heart, not to your mind.
Act upon your inspirations without delay.
Do not over think a decision.
The craziest it sounds, the better it is.
Believe in miracles and magic.
Let the Universe bring what you want and need.
But most of all, Love yourself, accept yourself, with everything, positive and negative characteristics.
With no self love, there's no liberation, no inspiration and no transformation.


I love myself!

The beauty of Reiki, pregnancy, hormones and knowledge.

Reiki is very helpful when it comes to ease the pain of labour. One technique that can help is to take a shower or a bath (if your water is not broken yet) and draw the cho ku rei symbol, if you are a Reiki practitioner (if not, I recommend hiring one for the whole birth experience). Another alternative is to place crystals on the first three chakras and have Reiki being applied to them. The crystals will help intensify the energy and will ease the flow of it, making you more balanced and able to relax during contractions. 

Be aware that every pain is a sign of resistance, so if one is able to mentally and emotionally let it go, one might experience a very natural sensation of opening of the pelvis, as opposed to the painful contractions of the abdomen muscles. Another important fact to be aware of is the role the hormones adrenaline and oxytocin play in labour. When you are in a situation of emergency or stress for some reason, your brain releases adrenaline, which in labour would cause your body to tense up and go against the natural process of labour. As opposed to situations where you feel calmness, love, pleasure and excitement, your brain releases oxytocin. So when a pregnant woman is receiving Reiki, she can get to the state of deep relaxation and awareness of her energy and release oxytocin, as well as trusting that her body has the knowledge and power to birth a child. 

Reiki blessings to all women, pregnant or not. 

Reiki during labour.

Being pregnant has made me very curious about how Reiki might help during pregnancy and labour. I've been researching a lot and came across this article about a woman who was actually able to help the baby turn into the right position when the mother was in active labour.

It's amazing how we are all connected to the Source and we are able to work with Reiki practitioners by responding to energy work even when in the womb.

Take a look at the article for the full story. ;)
