Secrets

Everybody has secrets...Reiki practitioners have secrets too. 
Reiki symbols.
Reiki symbols are sacred and they are supposed to be kept confidential. The symbols add to the strength and versatility of the Reiki energy. To use the symbols you have to be attuned to them.
Some of the symbols are: The Power Symbol, The Mental/Emotional Symbol and The Distant Healing Symbol.
The Power Symbol calls on the higher power to heal. It is used to increase the power of Reiki or to focus Reiki on specific location. Also, it is used to seal the space around a person to prevent the healing energies from leaking away. The power symbol can be used to clear the room from energies that are not beneficial. 
The Mental/Emotional Symbol is used in emotional and mental healing. It balances the left and the right sides of the brain. This way it can bring peace and harmony. It is very useful for healing relationship problems. It can also be used to heal addictions as well as problems with weight loss or smoking. The mental/emotional symbol  can be used to improve memory.
The Distant Healing Symbol is used to send Reiki to others at distance. It can also be used to bridge time and send Reiki to future or to the past. This way you can empower yourself for important events or you can treat past traumas.
Now you know the little tricks we have up in our sleeves.

What Are You Thinking About?

It's all in our head, in our mind. What we think is what we get. The law of attraction is always working.
The universe sends us what we ask for even when we are not conscious of it. So when we find that our thoughts are not serving us well we should change them.
Sometimes we can't break out of the negative cycle but there are solutions - MANTRAS.
A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or a group of words that is considered capable of "creating transformation". Today their use is widespread and they are not connected only to Eastern traditions and religions.
First you should find yourself a mantra that is representing what you want to bring in your life. Write it on sticky notes and put them where you will see them quite often because they will be your reminder to stop and check in on your thoughts. Put them on the dashboard, on the refrigerator, in the bathroom.
Next time you are in a traffic jam or somebody cuts you off or you hear something unpleasant, instead of getting frustrated, angry or irritated you can start repeating your mantra.
Here are some of my favorite ones.

Tibetan Mantra:
          May I be filled with loving kindness,
          May I be well,
          May I be peaceful and at ease.
          May I be happy.

I am whole. I am happy. My life reflects the splendor of universe.

I am success; I am unlimited.

Divine love is doing its perfect work in me and through me now.

I am divinely led to say the right thing, at the right time. All doors are open to me now, professionally, and emotionally.

I am prosperous now in love and money.

I call unto my self only divine solutions.

The universe responds to me and I create my heart''s desires.

Thank you, Great Spirit, for the divine love in our family; we all treat each other with integrity and respect.

I challenge you to choose or compose your own mantra; do it for a few weeks and check if it will change the state of your well being.

Can Reiki Help With Weight Loss?

Weight loss...requires lots of discipline. Paying attention to what, when and how much to eat. Staying a little bit hungry until the body learns how to operate on smaller amounts than it is used to.
Changing eating habits is hard. All the attention, planning and energy that goes into it!
As Reiki is a form of energy work and its purpose is to balance the energy flow in the body, it may be able to help with the weight loss.
It can stabilize the appetite and make you more aware of your nutritional needs. Also it can help you make better, healthier choices and it can help with removing unhealthy cravings.
Several session of Reiki might completely change your eating habits and it can help with the will power, too. Reiki can help take the stress out of making these changes.
Reiki is a wonderful support while you start on the path of weight loss but implementing yoga, running, aerobics, long walks or other kinds of exercise at least three times a week are of great importance to achieving the healthy balance.
Reiki can help whether your weight problems stem from a physical or a psychological problem because Reiki always helps you move towards health.
Yes, Reiki can help you with weight loss. Sometimes the results will be subtle and sometimes they will be very obvious. Bottom line, all that matters is that you feel good about yourself and Reiki is really good at that.

Animals love Reiki

We love pets! They are a part of our family. We grow together, we share our happiness and sadness, good and bad, we take care of them. Like us they get older, develop illnesses, aches and pains, they get stressed out. Their life force energy can get obstructed just like ours.
Reiki can help and it would never harm your pet. Reiki is a healing energy.
If your pet has behavioral issues such as nervousness or hyperactivity Reiki can relax and reduce the stress and anxiety. Or if the pet suffers from emotional problems, Reiki can release and heal those emotions. In case of sickness or injury, it can help your pet heal more quickly. If your pet has a serious illness  the least it would do is bring comfort. Reiki is a great compliment to any medical treatment.

Because Reiki is a gentle and loving energy your pet would love it. They love it whether you are right next to them or doing distance healing.
