Be Your Own Healer

It seems that doctors and practitioners are becoming busier every day. The laundry list of health related illnesses and chronic conditions suffered by the average person are on the rise. The Center for Disease Control attributes this increase in poor health to the heightened levels of stress that most of us face in our daily lives. Basically our lives and the way we live are making us sick.

As medical advances exceed our expectations it seems that most of us look for our cures in a pill. The pills lead to many more side effects that often require more pills to correct. The cycle continues and eventually the body is left in a state of disarray. What medical doctors do not treat is the spiritual and emotional level of illness that manifests into disease. Every medical condition is the result of an emotional or spiritual break from the source of Universal energy that sustains us all.

There are numerous alternatives that exist to help us. These work by uplifting the spiritual centers of the body, opening the chakras and allowing our energy to flow to all parts of the body, mind and spirit. This type of alignment reduces stress and can heal the body from the initial source of illness or disease. Yoga, crystal healing, sound therapy, body talk, Reiki and even chiropractic care are directed at these areas of the physical and etheric body.

Reiki is a non-traditional method of healing that we can use to cure ourselves, others and even animals. Reiki has been used for well over 2500 years and is a proven and effective method to healing the body on the spiritual and mind level. It is an un-invasive method of using energy to heal particular parts of the body that invokes powerful symbols and ‘hands on' healing. Many people who undergo a Reiki treatment will feel peace, warmth in certain areas and some have even seen colors. The results are undeniable and proven.

The basis of holistic or alternative methods to heal ourselves revolves around the chakras and meridians in our body. As each chakra represents a body part of area of the body and organ even, the blockages of energy can result in disease or illness.

Reiki can be used for simple nuisances like a headache or stomach ache. This type of healing definitely beats taking a pill, costs no money and is highly effective. Science agrees with the effectiveness of these healing methods. Even meditation can be a healing tool that greatly reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and releases endorphins which encourage wellbeing.

All of us on this earth were given the gift of healing. It takes no special powers or psychic abilities to heal ourselves or to heal others. Prayer has existed since the beginning of time. The essence of healing simply encourages us on our spiritual path for wellbeing and happiness.

As we achieve contentment, happiness and peace from within our bodies follow suit. The decision to move closer to the source of our existence, to take responsibility for our physical bodies and to heal our spiritual health and renew our innate knowledge easily places us on the path of wellbeing and enables us all to be our own healers.
