What Is Reiki Energy?

What is Reiki energy?

Reiki is commonly defined as Universal Life Energy, or Universal Life Force Energy. What is universal life energy? Many Reiki practitioners assume Reiki energy is a distinct entity. It’s possible, however, that Usui was referring not to something distinct, but rather to all subtle bio-energies, a group of putative bio field energies that includes Qi (or the Japanese ki) and PRANA (which is very different from qi/ki). These are called putative because no conventional science documents their existence.  BUT a rather large body of research documents the impact of the Reiki connection on the human system. The Reiki connection? … if you have had a reiki practioner or have experienced reiki you will understand this and what I mean, but basically this is what happens in the ‘reiki connection”:   

When a Reiki practitioner passively places hands on someone (or hovers just off the body), the recipient’s system responds by moving toward balance. This response is typically experienced as relaxation. People often fall into a deep sleep-like meditative state, or they experience

a threshold state in which they are aware of their surroundings while remaining deeply in-drawn.   This state of profound (or even minimal) relaxation is significant. It is in this state that the body heals itself. The power of the resting cure has been recognized throughout the ages; the science behind it is well documented in the stress reduction literature.  The Reiki connection reminds the body of its capacity to self-heal. For this, we have some documentation.

WATER ~ BODY ~ DETOX

                             WATER ~ BODY ~ DETOX

Living and working so close to the ocean, to the beach is truly a gift! I love the town I live in of Huntington Beach, CA. For me living by water is where I feel at home. Water sports are my favorite,  to be immersed in water, be it a salt water pool at home, or in the ocean is an AMAZING feeling! As it should be, since our bodies crave that connection with nature. When we are in utero we are incapsulated in a sac of water; we, our bodies  are 65% water, we can live for days, weeks without food but not without water.  
So it makes sense that to 'detox' our bodies of all the junk we inflict , water is the main event in detoxing our bodies.
In this blog post I want to emphisize how important water is to our mind, body and spirit. Think of the cleansing, the detoxification of your body as a river.  When the river is full, it flows and all that is in its path, the branches, leaves,etc flows with it. Just as the river, when we drink water our bodies are cleansed of all these toxins, leaves, branches that have made us stuck.  Your body relaxes and it can do its job.

Drink enough water, the correct amount of water for your body  ( drink half your body weight in ounces of water. ex: if you weigh 150lbs, drinking 75 ounces of water is a good amount for your body) and  you will prevent dehydration which causes  your heart and your body overall to work harder, not to mention a list of other issues, such as having headaches and  body pain.  Drinking water will help prevent wrinkles-anti-aging. Your skin wont be bone dry and will help eliminate fat aswell.

So pump up your water intake...or start drinking water if you  are one of those that does not :) your body will thank you, you will feel better, your joints will be lubricated; waste will be flushed out of your body, all your organs will be functioning better and your body will be at a state of homeostaisis. 

As a massage therapist, I enourage water intake through out the day. After workouts, if you drink coffee, or any caffeined drinks, even more so. And especially after you have had a massage. I give all my clients a bottle of water to take with them after their massage session.
So Drink UP and let me know how you feel., how your skin looks, how your body feels. I know you will be happy with the results :)
