Reiki request for broken bones

Bea — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:35:15 GMT

Hi, I had a freak accident on Oct 14th where I basically tripped in a hole in a parking lot and both of my feet went inward. I broke a small bone in my left foot and a larger one in my right ankle. So, for a while I was completely unable to walk. I have been making good progress, but the swelling in my right ankle and foot is still really bad. Also, I have been pretty depressed because I haven't been able to go out and see my friends (some came to visit, but I am still getting cabin fever).. feeling helpless because I need help with small things... and I lost my job that i had JUST gotten (I had only worked for them one day)... and I haven't been able to go out with a guy that i had just started a relationship with (he came over once, but it was hard for him to see me like this). I work as a massage therapist, so I haven't been able to work. Everything has just been getting me down lately.
I have been trying to think positively, and I can kind of walk already. Lately though, negative thoughts have been creeping in more and more, so I would be very grateful for some positive energy sent my way.
Also, if anyone gets any visions of why the accident might have happened that would be great to know to because I can't figure it out.
Thank you so much! <3

Motorcycle accident

Angelique — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 17:03:15 GMT

I was on my way to the River Ranch Festival and witnessed a motorcycle accident. The person's name was Brett. He flew about 50feet in the air and landed with both legs broken backwards, bleeding out of his nose and mouth, he was coherant. Several of us came to his side to assist and I layed on hands for reiki healing, he could be hemoraging, others were talking to him to keep him awake, lightening up the tragedy, coming to his side to call 911, giving water, another laid hands on him just to give support. He thanked us all for being there. The unity of us all fell into place as working together as a team until the ambulance came. He didn't want anyone he knew to be called. That moment of us all not knowing one another yet interacting as if we did, was a beautiful confirmation of barriers being dropped and acting from love and our connective consciousness It felt like we were all familly. Let's send Brett some light today! Mitakuye Dyasin

New to Circle

Adhara — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 13:22:03 GMT

How timely was Zachary's response to my entering the circle...so glad to be here among precious hearts. AND guess what?? My Dad, who has suffered a heart attack a few years back, had a mild stoke on Friday evening. Amazingly they sent him home yesterday, but they were having a hard time stabilizing his blood pressure and heart rythm. (sounds like a canidate now for an EP study). But he is confused and weak. It has affected his legs and coordination. I am so grateful he is home for Fathers Day. May I please request a little meditation his way? Like I said Zachary came in right on que.

Blessings, Peace and Always Love,
Adhara

Request for healing

JahaRa — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:04:37 GMT

Could you all send reiki distance to my relatives? My aunt passed away on Monday and her siblings, children, grand children and husband are very distraught. Most of them live in New Mexico (scattered). My aunts name was Billie Marie Keys. I think she also could use some loving energy as her death was very painful.

Thank you.

Healing please

Inspired — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:32:54 GMT

Last September my Father suffered a stroke which has left him in a wheelchair, he still has no movement back in his left arm or leg and his speech, hearing and eyesight have also been affected. At the age of 63 and from being physically active it has been hard for us all to come to terms with.

Although he is making progress with his leg it has been very slow going and he often gets despondent and depressed, for which, he is also receiving anti depressants.

During this period of recovery he has re-established connections with his brothers which has provided some comfort & support to him.

Recently, his eldest brother also suffered a stroke, although described as minor it has affected his eyesight.

I know that learning this news has been a blow to my father and I'd like to ask for healing for both my father Ivan, his brother Alan and the rest of the family whose lives are affected by this.

My sincere thanks & appreciation

Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Understanding panic attacks

What is a panic attack? A panic attack is a sudden and unexpected period of intense fear or discomfort. It comes out of the blue, without warning. Your heart begins to pound in your chest. You feel dizzy and sick to your stomach. It’s hard to catch your breath. You may feel like you’re dying or going crazy. You may even think you’re having a heart attack.
Panic attacks are terrifying. They can happen anywhere and at any time. Panic attacks often strike when you’re away from home. You may have one while you’re in a store shopping, walking down the street, or driving in your car. Panic attacks can even happen while you’re sleeping, causing you to wake up in a state of overwhelming fear.
Panic attacks are common. The Merck Manual reports that panic attacks occur in more than one-third of adults each year. You may experience an isolated panic attack yet be otherwise perfectly happy and healthy. Or your panic attacks may occur as part of another disorder, such as panic disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, or major depressive disorder. Anxiety vs. panic

What is the difference between anxiety and panic? Although panic attacks commonly occur in all the different types of anxiety disorders, there is a distinct difference between anxiety and panic. The difference lies in the duration and intensity of the symptoms. Panic attacks are episodes of intense fear that last only a short while. On the other hand, anxiety comes on more gradually, is less intense, and lasts longer. Symptoms of a panic attack

What are the signs and symptoms of a panic attack? In a panic attack, symptoms develop abruptly and usually reach their peak within 10 minutes. A full-blown panic attack includes at least 4 of the following symptoms:
• Shortness of breath or smothering sensation
• Palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Trembling or shaking
• Feeling of choking
• Sweating
• Nausea or stomach distress

• Feeling unsteady, dizzy, lightheaded, or faint
• Feelings of unreality or of being detached from yourself
• Fear of losing control or going crazy
• Fear of dying
• Numbness or tingling sensations
• Hot or cold flashes

Most panic attacks end within 20 to 30 minutes, and they rarely last more than an hour. Professionals group panic attacks into three types:

1. Unexpected panic attacks occur spontaneously and for no clear reason. They might even occur when you’re relaxed or asleep.
2. Situationally bound panic attacks are triggered by a specific situation (such as crossing a bridge or public speaking). This type of panic attack almost always occurs immediately after you are exposed or anticipate being exposed to the situation you fear.
3. Situationally predisposed panic attacks are similar to situationally bound panic attacks. They are triggered by a specific situation. However, the difference is that the attacks only sometimes occur. Another difference is that they don’t always occur immediately after exposure to the feared situation. For example, if your trigger is public speaking, there are times when you give a speech without having a panic attack and other times when your panic attack only starts after you’ve already been speaking for 15 minutes.

When panic becomes panic disorder

What is panic disorder? If you’ve had a panic attack, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have or will develop panic disorder. Many people experience panic attacks without further episodes or complications. There is little reason to worry if you’ve had just one or two panic attacks. However, if you meet the following criteria, you may be suffering from panic disorder:
• You are experiencing frequent unexpected panic attacks.
• You have been worrying for over a month about having another panic attack.
• You’ve made a significant change in your behavior because of the panic attacks, such as avoiding places where you’ve previously panicked.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, panic disorder usually develops in the late teens and twenties. It rarely develops after the age of 35, and is twice as common in women as in men.
Once it develops, panic disorder tends to be a chronic condition. The frequency and intensity of the panic attacks tend to wax and wane over time. However, the sooner you get treatment, the better your outcome will be. Facts about panic disorder from the National Institute of Mental Health:

• Approximately 2.4 million American adults ages 18 to 54, or about 1.7 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have panic disorder.
• Panic disorder may coexist with other disorders, most often depression and substance abuse.
• Appropriate diagnosis and treatment of other disorders are important to successfully treat panic disorder.

Causes of panic disorder

What causes panic disorder? Although the exact causes of panic disorder are unclear, the tendency to have panic attacks runs in families. If someone in your family has panic disorder, you are at an increased risk for developing it. There also appears to be a connection with major life transitions such as graduating from college and entering the workplace, getting married, and having a baby. Severe stress, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or job loss can also trigger a panic attack. Diagnosing panic disorder

How is panic disorder diagnosed? Panic disorder can be difficult to diagnose because of its similarity to certain medical conditions. Most of the symptoms of a panic attack are physical. In fact, these physical symptoms (such as chest pain and difficulty breathing) mimic those found in medical illnesses such as heart disease, asthma, and hyperthyroidism. Many people with panic disorder make repeated trips to the doctor or the emergency room in an attempt to get treatment for what they believe is a life-threatening medical problem. In order to diagnose panic disorder, your physician will first need to rule out these other possibilities. Unfortunately, time may be lost before physical symptoms are equated with panic disorder and a correct diagnosis is made.
There are also a number of physical disorders and problems that commonly co-occur with panic disorder, including:
• Irritable bowel syndrome, a disorder characterized by stomach cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.
• Mitral valve prolapse, a minor cardiac problem that occurs when one of the heart’s valves doesn't close correctly.
• Chronic fatigue.

Effects of panic attacks

What are the effects of panic disorder? While a single panic attack may only last a few minutes, the effects of the experience can leave a lasting imprint. If you have panic disorder, the recurrent panic attacks take an emotional toll. The memory of the intense fear and terror that you felt during the attacks can negatively impact your self-confidence and cause serious disruption to your everyday life.
You are likely to experience:
• Anticipatory anxiety – Instead of feeling relaxed and like yourself in between panic attacks, you feel anxious and tense. This anxiety resembles that of Generalized Anxiety Disorder and stems from a fear of having future panic attacks. This “fear of fear” is present most of the time, and can be extremely disabling.
• Phobic avoidance – You begin to avoid certain situations or environments. This avoidance may be based on the belief that the situation caused a previous panic attack. Or you may avoid places where escape would be difficult or help would be unavailable if you had a panic attack.

Other possible complications of panic disorder are:
• Depression – Depression is common in people with panic disorder. Panic attacks and the anxiety they cause can severely disrupt your normal routine. If you feel your life is out of control, you may become depressed.
• Substance Abuse – You may try to treat your anxiety with alcohol or drugs. The National Mental Health Association reports that 30% of people with panic disorder use alcohol and 17% use drugs in an attempt to deal with their symptoms. Unfortunately, these attempts to self-medicate only make things worse.
• Suicide – According to the National Mental Health Association, approximately 20% of people with panic disorder attempt suicide. If you are feeling suicidal, see Helpguide's Coping with Suicidal Thoughts and Feelings.
• Agoraphobia – Agoraphobia is a common and disabling consequence of untreated panic disorder.

Agoraphobia

What is agoraphobia? Agoraphobia is translated as “fear of the marketplace.” It was traditionally thought to involve a fear of public places and open spaces. However, it is now believed that agoraphobia develops as a complication of panic attacks. If you have agoraphobia, you are afraid of having a panic attack in a situation where escape would be difficult or embarrassing. You are also afraid of having a panic attack where you wouldn’t be able to get help. Because of these fears, you may begin to avoid crowded places such as shopping malls or sports arenas. You may also avoid cars, airplanes, subways, and other forms of travel. In more severe cases, you might only feel safe at home.
The American Academy of Family Physicians lists a number of situations or activities that you may avoid if you have agoraphobia:
• Going anywhere without the company of a "safe" person.
• Physical exertion (because of the belief that it could trigger a panic attack).
• Going to places where escape would be difficult (examples include restaurants, theaters, stores, and public transportation).
• Driving.
• Places where it would be embarrassing to have a panic attack (such as parties and other social gatherings).
• Ingesting substances that could possibly provoke panic (alcohol, caffeine, or certain foods).

The National Institute of Mental Health offers a first-hand account of how
agoraphobia develops:

“One day, without any warning or reason, I felt terrified. I was so afraid, I thought I was going to die. My heart was pounding and my head was spinning. I would get these feelings every couple of weeks. I thought I was losing my mind. The more attacks I had, the more afraid I got. I was always living in fear. I didn't know when I might have another attack. I became so afraid that I didn't want to leave my house or other safe places.”

According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, approximately one in three people with panic disorder eventually develops agoraphobia. Although the onset of agoraphobia can occur at any point, it usually appears within a year of your first recurrent panic attacks. Treatment for panic disorder

How is panic disorder treated? Panic disorder is generally treated with cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, or a combination of the two. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is generally viewed as the most effective form of psychotherapy for treating panic attacks, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. CBT focuses on changing your thinking patterns and can help you develop better ways of coping with your fears. The first aspect of treatment for panic disorder and agoraphobia typically involves education. You are taught about the nature of anxiety and the fight-or-flight response experienced during a panic attack. You learn that the sensations and feelings you have when you panic are normal and that you aren’t going crazy. Simply knowing more about your disorder can go a long way towards relieving your distress. You also will be taught to identify and evaluate the automatic thoughts you have during a panic attack. Many of these thoughts are irrational and exaggerate the dangerousness of the situation. You are taught to think through these thoughts and decatastrophize. For example, if you had a panic attack while driving, what is the worst thing that would really happen? While you might have to pull over to the side of the road, you are not likely to crash your car or have a heart attack. Once your learn that nothing disastrous is going to happen, the experience of panic becomes less terrifying.
Another aspect of cognitive behavioral therapy involves teaching you how to control your breathing. You are first asked to hyperventilate. Hyperventilation brings on many sensations such as lightheadedness and tightness of the chest that occur during a panic attack. By learning to control your breathing, you develop a coping skill that you can use to calm yourself down when you begin to feel anxious. If you know how to control your breathing, you are also less likely to create the very sensations that you are afraid of.
Exposure to the physical sensations you fear is also an important part of treatment. In addition to hyperventilation, you may be instructed to run in place, shake your head from side to side, or hold your breath. These different exercises cause a number of sensations similar to the symptoms of panic. As you gradually expose yourself to these feared sensations, your panic and anxiety begins to go away. With each exposure, you become less afraid of these internal bodily sensations and feel a greater sense of control over your panic. If you have agoraphobia, exposure to the situations you fear and avoid is also included in treatment. As in exposure therapy for specific phobias, you face the feared situation until the panic begins to go away. Through this experience, you learn that the situation isn’t harmful and that you have control over your emotions.
According to the Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder Foundation, cognitive-behavior therapy helps approximately 80% to 85% of people suffering panic attacks becoming panic free, usually within eight treatment sessions. Medication

There are two types of medication that help relieve panic and intense anxiety:
• Antidepressants – Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants are both used in the treatment of panic disorder. Antidepressants have been shown to reduce or eliminate panic attacks. However, it takes several weeks before they begin to work, so they are not helpful if first taken during an acute panic episode.
• Benzodiazepines – These anti-anxiety drugs act very quickly (usually within 30 minutes to an hour). The rapid relief they provide makes them effective when taken during a panic attack. Benzodiazepines are highly addictive and have serious withdrawal symptoms, so they should be used only sparingly.

For an in-depth look at the medications used for panic disorder, and the pros and cons of drug treatment for anxiety, read Helpguide's Anxiety Medications: Benefits and Risks.
Other Panic Disorder Treatments

In addition to cognitive behavior therapy and medication, other recommended treatments for panic disorder and agoraphobia include:
• Relaxation and stress relief techniques
• Family therapy to address the impact panic disorder has on your close relationships.
• Cognitive behavioral group therapy

Left untreated, panic disorder can severely impact your day-to-day life and harm your social and professional relationships. You may begin to withdraw from normal activities and you might also feel more anxious, depressed and helpless. Because of these negative consequences, it’s very important to seek treatment as soon as possible. With treatment, you will be able to greatly reduce or eliminate the anxiety and panic you have been suffering from and regain control of your life. To Learn More: Related Helpguide Articles

new to this tribe

Kalonapossessorofpeace — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:44:42 GMT

I worked at a metaphysical book store and shop..I was the buyer and away when the reiki sessions weere given but am a strong believer in reiki and distant healing....Life lessons have been hard on me and my Kundalini or life force is low as is my psysical strenth. I have lost my courage and my strength..my nerves are shot and my own healing abilities are shot.
I due to circumstances am in a foreign country, Sweden, I am Native American, having huge culture shock and am surrounded by choas were I live. I meditatea and pray but know I need healing and alot of it..some have sent some help from other tribes.
I humbly ask thatt you message me or send healing and often. I return to the US in late April. I am an empath and thus my shields are low to deflect the choas drama and stress here where I now live.
I would apreciate any healing sent. I need courage to get home and stop this anxiety and fear that lives withme every minute...I need to regain my power and learn my life lessons so I can move on.
I thank anyone and everyone ahead of time for sending healing...message me or invite me to be friends..the computer is the only form of communication I have while in this foreign land. Upon my return I will be hosted by a friend who lives with an angry course ,cold abrasive person...I am not really wanted there and I feel this but it is my only option as family has offered no suport or lodging..I must return with courage and strength to find a job..get my own place to live and to re start jumpstart my life and become the giver of healing again once I amhealed.
I pray you will send to me enough energy of healing and also remember I am stuck in a poluted (psychically) environment and for now have no other choice. I suffer from solitude lack of money and friends.a supportive family anxiety and fear..please help restore me so that I may once again be of service to others.
May blessings come to you and thank you.
Respectfully,
Kalona

Black Elk prayer

Kalonapossessorofpeace — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:45:31 GMT

Grandfather, Lean to hear me.....Black Elk Message Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold
me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice.
You lived first, and you are older than all need,
older than all prayer. All things belong to you
-- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings
of the air, and all green things that live.

You have set the powers of the four quarters
of the earth to cross each other. You have made
me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and
where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out,
forevermore, you are the life of things.

Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.

With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed

Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.

It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!

Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.

I have a request please

Leslie — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 14:13:45 GMT

Hello everyone, I am in a situation where I am asking others for help. I have been going through an immense amount of change and that created some massive anxiety within me. That is still there but improving I believe, but not it's gone into some pretty intense insomnia. I have been using herbs, homeopathic, energy work, meditation and have even gotten some heavy duty sleep medication that would knock a horse out. I have slept the last 2 nights but that has been with these really large doses of meds that I do not wish to take nor become dependent upon.

I'm frustrated because this is distracting me from the work I need to do and of being of service to others. I don't often ask for others to send my Reiki, but I am now, so if you would I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Leslie

Reiki Request

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 03:33:44 GMT

Please send distance Reiki to me, Scott, as I am feeling pretty low on energy and "out of it." I'm working on doing a bit more "neck down" work, out of the head and into the body, but I just feel like I've been under a huge boulder getting ground down to bits and pieces. Sounds weird because I can't say that I have that much stress in my life.

I just want to sleep...

Replenish...

Eat fatty foods, absorb chocolate, take long baths and long walks in green, lush wooded areas with no technology, no people.

Work is both energizing and depleting. People talk to me and I just drain down.

I do spend time in silence to replenish. It works but I feel that I cannot replenish my life source sufficient enough to keep up to day to day stuff.

When I do have a few days to just sleep in and relax I have no urge to do anything... it feels nice to just curl up, eat soup, zone and be quiet. What's up with this?

Thoughts and healing energy that is in harmony with my health are welcome.

Scott

Eye Needs Help

stephanie — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 17:13:15 GMT

I recently experienced some trauma to my right eye due to a blow that someone gave me after believing some lies about me. i believe that she is mentally unstable and possiblly on something at the time. I am an empath and have at times taken on other people's issues etc..I am concerned about the amount of pain and the fact that it is now hemmoraged. Last night, i was seeing flashing lights out of the outside corners of both eyes. It is a little bit black and blue too. Feel free to im me..but i am asking for some help and support.

Friday I iced it a bit and I put some arnica on it for the past two days, along with some reiki. But it is getting worse instead of better and I am worried.

Thanks so much for anything that you can do.

Many blessings..

Healing Request for Aunt Janet, Oceanside California

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 17:04:48 GMT

For a moment, imagine, a circle of bright white, at the edges you perceive a faint blue glow. It is on a completely white surface. As you stare at the circle you notice that there is a depth to it, the blue edges draw your eyes to notice the faint but perceptible depth as the circle becomes a sphere.

Keep you eyes focused on the center.

Notice that the sphere is moving, slowly, noticeable by the faint rippling of the blue / white light at the edges.

From the white center you hear a tone, a bell of a single note ringing out from the sphere. It at first is hard to hear but as you relax yourself and open your self up, you hear the tone and it is the most perfect tone for you.

Let the sphere turn, watch the unknowable depth at the center and here the perfect tone...

When you are ready, visualize the person or patient, situation or drama that has requested your healing.

***************************************************

Today we ask for healing for, "Aunt Janet" in Oceanside, California. For a return of health, for an ease in passing, for whatever is her best and truest well being. We ask for healing and comfort to her family who are flying across the country to be with her in this time. We ask for a healing space to be made around her, and that all who enter, all within, and all who leave are harmonious with her greatest well being.

Thank you,

Scott K Smith

Healing Requests... THREE! Grandma, Dad & AJ

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 19:36:02 GMT

<<<REQUEST 1>>

This message has been forwarded to me by Josh, one of our memebers (otherhoodlight) who is part
of a Southern California Group called the Reiki Renegades.

Please read and include AJ in your healing work.

Be well. Be loved. Be loving.

Scott

Hi to all the Reiki Renegades who know and love AJ (Alisha) !

This is Mary Ann Wales writing on her behalf to update you all on her
condition.

The doctors have confirmed a cancerous mass on her lung that is the
size of her hand. They do believe it to be limited to that area. She has new
doctors that she is very happy with and they will be coordinating her treatments
- chemo & radiation. She doesn't know yet what the schedule or order will be,
but will let me know and I can keep everyone posted.

The tumor apparently isn't operable at this time, but I say that would be
something we can all Reiki for and envision for the near future. They have
her on some meds that are helping her eat more and helping keep her mood up
and positive. Consequently, she has only lost about another 5 pounds over
the last 5 weeks compared to the drastic rate at which she was losing it before.
She is down to about 135 pounds at this time, but is hoping to turn that around soon.

AJ sends her thanks and love out to everyone that has expressed their concern
and asks that we all understand that she doesn't want to empower thesituation
by talking about it repeatedly. If you are moved to talk with her directly she asks
that you please NOT call between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. as thatis the time she has
set aside for resting and meditating. She asks also that the conversations be
kept light, cheerful and positive.

I have asked her if she would like us to arrange for a Reiki potluck or other group
healing for her, and she said maybe later when she knows more what her treatment
schedule is going to be.

I ask everyone to put her in all their group Prayer & Reiki Baskets and to remember
her in our private meditations and healing work.

Peace, Light & Blessings to All,

Love, Mary Ann

<<<REQUEST 2 & 3>>>

As you know my grandmother has had her bouts with the hospital visits in
the last few years and she is back again. What she intended to be a
trick to get to the hospital to see my dad (see part two of this post)
ended up being a trip to the hospital for herself.

Please send healing light to Martha Smith, my grandmother, in Fairfield
California.

Please also include my father, David Smith (also one of our members) in
your healing work. He had retained a large amount of water, some of
which localized around his heart and had congestive heart failure AND
lung failure. In addition to his Diabetes 2 conditions this has put him
out of work and onto disability; he will have to be on oxygen -as the
doctor says- for the rest of his life.

Talking to him on the phone he has told me that he is taking the
aggressive healing initiative to start physically exercising, watching
his diet... but he does need our healing help.

Please send healing light to David Smith, my father, in Fairfield
California.

Thank you.

Remember to include your requests here at the Healers Network, and
follow up with us to let us know how the healing goes. We've had some
good healing stories in the past and -originally- we came together for
this purpose.

Be well. Be loved. Be loving.

Scott K Smith

healing request: young fawn

homo divinus — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 02:01:43 GMT

an especially curious, sweet and beautiful young fawn in our wilderness neighbourhood is limping substantially with an injured hind right leg through deep snows currently and i am requesting all healing help and benevolent outcomes for this little one from all beings who can help him now. he is with his core family of 5, including 2 younger fawns - and as well as for this deer's healing, i am asking for the safety and protection of him and all of his relatives worldwide, as huwo/men awaken to increasingly benign and universally friendly/respecting means of travel of the awareness we share the land and 'roadways' (good chance this deer was struck by a fast driver) with many beings who move, relate and respond at slower speeds.

Ready to Release Hurt

Kristin — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 11:54:10 GMT

Being a Cancer on cusp of Leo, my family life is an important, magnified part of my life... it makes sense then that I came into this life with issues to be overcome with family members... along with this, getting attention is important as a Leo....

My parents divorced in my freshman year of high school around Christmas time... my mother had been sick for most of my life... when I was born she almost died, when I was a toddler she had panic attacks and other people had to take care of me and my brother, and then when I was in 6th grade she had breast cancer........... then my parents split up, she moved into a condo a few minutes away... a lot of things changed...

I would definitely say that my life is probably much better this way than it would have been if she had stayed... but I have a lot of hurt I'm ready to release... I always had this connection with my mom... pretty much, when she suffers, I suffer more... and I've tried to talk to her about it but she's like a toddler taking a tantrum (picture: a toddler plugging their ears and stomping their feet saying "I cannn'tttt heearrr yoouuu")... she'll then ignore me for days. She has no problem not talking to me for weeks...

I refuse to live like this anymore... crying because my mom doesn't love me the way I think she should... I'm now 22... she moved out 8yrs ago... and she doesn't call my brother and I over to spend time with her, she expects us to contact her... but she likes to be needed and when there are children out there without mothers, she helps them... which is good, but its funny, where are your own kids?

I've been lighting a candle everynight before bed and I saw "I forgive you, mom" ... and I tell my angels I'm ready to release this... I know how I sound, I apologize for sounding so angry... I feel this in my heart/stomach energy centers... I'm so nautious...

Request for orphants

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 17:42:22 GMT

My boyfriend is currently in Ghana working in an orphanage. Here is some cut and paste from what he said:

"I visited the orphanage today. These children need so much love and attention. Every time I go there, I'm mobbed and dragged to the ground by forty needy little hands. Their bellies are bloated from malnutrition, and when there's no rain, they survive on lakewater (which will kill a white boy like me in these parts). Most only have one pair of clothes. I've been working with these orphans, and it's breaking my heart. They need way more than I can give them. Please bend your will to these kids, they need it so much."

They're called the Redemption Outreach in the village of Damongo, northern Ghana.

I’m sending reiki, and it would ease my heart if you would help me with that.

Love, Mari

mother earth healing hour

karinlzbth — Fri, 19 May 2006 14:16:41 GMT

hi everyone,
i wanted to share this beautiful event with each of you:
**********************************
Dear Friend of the Earth,

Most people agree that the Earth is greatly in need of healing, due to neglect, abuse, and over-population.
With that in mind, I am organising a

Mother Earth Healing Hour on Sunday May 21st at precisely 3p.m. GMT

The idea is to organise groups who work with Healing Energy to come together outdoors. The only thing required by participants is a mat to sit on, form a circle, and place both hands flat on the earth, with little fingers touching the little fingers of participants on either side. Meditate & ask the help of the Light & His/Her angels to assist in sending the energy to wherever the Earth most needs it. Sit for 30/60 minutes if possible.

Our Circle will meet in The Burren, Co. Clare, Ireland, since it is local, so a park, riverbank, field, wood, etc., in your locale, would be perfect.

My hope is that you would consider organising a group in your area, you may know of others who would be delighted to take part.

If you have contacts in other parts of the world, please consider asking them to form a group in their areas too. Please help to spread the word!

The idea is to concentrate as much healing power as possible on the same day, at the same time, as globally as possible.

I had a profound and very positive experience while channelling energy to the natural world. It was a clear indication that more could and should be done.

I hope that we can do so on a much grander scale with your anticipated and much appreciated co-operation & help and that of others who are keen to get involved.

Mother Earth badly needs healing, otherwise we will have to endure a precipitous fight-back by the Earth and the elements, which has already begun in some parts of the world, e.g., the tsunami, flooding, the greenhouse effect, to mention but a few.

Perhaps we could make it an annual or even bi-annual event.
*****************************
so, this is 11am est. you can use a gmt converter to find the conversion in your time zone. with a group of healers here in new hampshire, we will be gathering at 11am and joining in this fantastic healing. if anyone else wants to join, fantastic! and please post here so i can forward to the woman who started this...

in love and light,
karin

reiki request

kapke — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 17:22:45 GMT

Hello. Its a privilege to be amidst this healing circle.

I've been a bodyworker for over 15 years and still its hard for me to ask for help but circumstances have arisen where I really do need help.

I have been diagnosed with advanced colon cancer and I have chosen to refuse conventional treatment. I have been largely unable to work for the past year and am at the end of my financial resources. I am probably going to move to Thailand because I can't afford to live here and I need to be in a more positive environment. I certainly welcome and appreciate any healing energies you can send my way.

Thank you.

Bright blessings,
Kondanna (Barry Kapke)

Reiki Crystal Grids

Zachary — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 06:58:56 GMT

The following information is from a book called "Magic of Reiki" by "Christopher Penczak", and I'm posting it for general use, and more specifically due to a recent thread by Kondanna, where Gael mentions grids. Here we go...

Crystal grids are a way to align crystals, usually quartz points, to intensify and magnify energy for manifestation or healing. In Reiki, the crystals are programmed to magnify Reiki energies for healing.

In a grid, crystals are arranged in a geometric structure to direct energy inward or outward, like a sacred mandala. The most popular shape, both in the crystal world and the Reiki world, is the six-pointed star, though each shape brings its own unique properties. I think the six-pointed star is associated with integration, balance, and the heart chakra, so it is a perfect shape to use in Reiki.

Reiki grids are usually taught in the more New Age versions of Reiki, from the Tibetan traditions on out, as part of the Master Practitioner or Master Teacher levels. Reiki crystal grids are used to send Reiki continuously to a recipient. In a Reiki session, distant or in person, you are limited to the time of the session. With a grid, the Reiki energy can continue to be sent even when the person who set it up is off doing other things. There are many grid techniques, including using the Antahkarana symbol as the grid pattern. I use the following symbol technique.

Step One

Take six quartz-crystal points of a similar size that you have already cleansed and charged, and place them on a hard surface where they will not be moved over a period of time. Arrange them like a six-pointed star, with the points pointing inward. If they are double-terminated, or double-pointed, you will intend that the energy flow inward as you do this.

Step Two

In the center of the star, place something that will connect you to the person to whom you wish to send Reiki. It can be a photograph, a piece of jewelry, or a piece of paper with the person’s name on it. You can have many recipients in the grid.

Step Three

Take a moment to center yourself, and say an evocation or prayer for divine guidance. Ask to send Reiki to this person, or people, for the highest good. Moving clockwise, activate the crystals in the first triangle by simply pointing to them and saying “Activate” silently or out loud. Do this three times around the triangle.

Step Four

Continue with the second triangle. Activate each crystal, moving clockwise until you have gone around the triangle three times.

Step Five

Envision the center of the grid filling with Reiki light and going off to the ones in need. You can draw the Reiki symbols over the grid if you desire, to add to the intention of healing.

The Reiki grid can be activated and deactivated upon command. It will deactivate on its own when it is no longer for the highest good to send Reiki, when the person is “full”, so to speak. So I like to reactivate it every day when using it. I make it a part of my morning devotional prayers. It’s a powerful way to send healing when you cannot focus on the recipient.

...I hope that this will be of some use to you all. Aloha,

-Zach

I'm creating a template for Family Healing Centers:

self-sustaining energy work based centers to train family members to release negative patterns and enhance their quality of life in a socially conscious, environmentally sound and economically viable way.

The curriculum will be based on the Energy Healing Camp I co-create in the summers with my friend Brien, and the recent work I have been doing with:

anger management for teenagers via drum circles;
reducing test anxiety with self-acupressure for 4th graders & kindergarteners;
reducing stress and insomnia for homeless parents through self-acupressure;
and healing family patterns through energy clearing.

My initial location is a large, low-income inner-city location. I have an interested funder.

My rough draft target date is October 15th.

Thanks in advance for your visioning help, and I reciprocate and multiply all positive energy I receive right back to you for your highest and most enjoyable manifestations.

Reiki Distant Healing Stacks

magentarays — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 04:17:47 GMT

this is my personal favourite way of doing long distance reiki.

Reiki Distant Healing Stacks

Reiki Distant Healing Stacks is a quick and powerful technique for sending distant Reiki to more than one person or inanimate object at the same time. A ten-person stack along with ten inanimate objects will take no longer than fifteen minutes to complete, often only five or ten minutes. The procedure was originated by Reiki Master Anthony Glenn Agee.

A Healing Stack uses the "Energetic Transfer" method, which means that the energy is condensed and then sent all in one unit towards the target. Because energy is being sent to more than one person at the same time, there is an amplification effect. The factor of amplification grows exponentially with each person as you go higher up the stack. So does the relative amount of energy each person receives. For example, if you make a 50-person stack, whomever you put on top will be completely blown away.

Since the amount of energy increases exponentially, a distant healing stack for ten people will take the same amount of time as it takes to send energy to one person. The major difference is that each person in the stack will get more energy. The energy will be more powerful, because stacks send out more energy than normal single distant methods. The greatest thing about this technique is that you can place yourself in the stack at the same time as other people, even put yourself on top.

Guidelines

Because the energy increases exponentially, limit the stack to ten people or less, including yourself.

Make sure the people in the stack are aware that you will be sending energy to them. Stacks produce results in one way or another, sometimes more powerfully than you might think or want. I once put a student in a stack without telling him, and he received the energy while driving a car. His hands became so hot that he could not hold the steering wheel and had to pull off the road for awhile. Later, when he told me what happened, I realized that he could have had a wreck!

The issue of free will is also important when deciding to send energy to others. If in your best judgment the person is in need of healing energy but is very ill or otherwise incapacitated, then state the intention that they are free to either accept OR reject the energy. Also, specify that if the energy is rejected, it must return to you or go to heal the earth or to someone who wishes to receive it.

Place inanimate objects in a stack after the initial ten people, not before. Some ideas for inanimate objects are the Earth, your car, your house, your relationship, your life as an entity, your healing space, your crystal grid to charge it, a habit you want to get rid of, or a change in your behavior that you want to empower, your Guides, your city, world peace, or a war or other catastrophe.

Procedure

Make a list of who or what you want to send Reiki to.

Choose a proxy to represent the people and things on your list. This can be the top of your leg, a teddy bear, a crystal, or the list written on a piece of paper.

Empower the proxy by drawing all of the Reiki symbols you have been attuned to on it. For example, I use all six symbols of the Usui/Tibetan lineage. You can also draw all of the symbols on the palms of your hands.

With the intent to do a Reiki Distant Healing Stack, draw the Distance Symbol on the proxy. As you draw it, say its name three times. Then empower it by drawing a Power Symbol, and say its name three times.

Then state aloud or silently: "I now intend to do a Reiki Distant Healing Stack. Everyone in this stack is free to either accept or reject this energy. If it is rejected, I ask that the energy come back to me."

Start creating the stack by stating, "I would now like to send pure Reiki energy to ____________ for their greatest and highest good." Fill in the first person’s name along with any additional facts you have (such as where they live) in the blank.

Draw a Power Symbol over the proxy with that person in mind.

Continue to add the rest of the people one by one along with the affirmation, and draw a Power Symbol for each one.

When you have finished adding people, you can begin adding the inanimate objects.

When you are finished building the stack, draw a Mental/Emotional Symbol and empower it by drawing the Power Symbol with the intent that the energy be available for all people and items in the stack that need it.

If you are attuned to other forms of Reiki, such as Karuna Reiki®, you can add those symbols now and use one Power Symbol to empower all of them at the end.

Finish off the stack by sealing it with a very large Power Symbol and press it all down.

Break the connection with the proxy when you are finished by making a cutting motion with your hands to symbolically cut the energetic cords between you and the proxy. Then wash your hands in cold water.

Saving A Stack

While drawing the last finishing Power Symbol state, "I now intend that this stack be referred to as ____________."

This is especially useful for groups like your family, friends, regular clients, or students.

You can use a saved stack in place of a person in a normal stack. Just state you want to send energy to the __________ stack and draw a Power Symbol to empower it.

Changing A Stack

Start by sending some energy to the existing stack. Then when you are finished state, "I now wish to dissipate the ___________ stack."

Then just remake it with the additions or subtractions.

Super Stacks

You can also make a stack of stacks and then name it as well.

The "new" old cure

8none8 — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 23:07:29 GMT

Warning: This reading is rather loooong.

Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful all-round antibiotic capable of fighting a multitude of infections caused by single-celled disease organisms effectively. It reportedly can also be a preventative against such infectious diseases. Acting as a catalyst, colloidal silver disables enzymes one-celled bacteria viruses and fungi need for their metabolism. They are killed on contact with colloidal silver while friendly single-celled organisms in the human body remain unharmed and the body's immune system unchanged.
Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938 as the most effective antibiotic then available to medicine, only to be outdated by modern antibiotics in the wake of the discovery of penicillin.
Mankind's knowledge of silver's antibacterial, antiseptic antiviral and anti fungal properties seems to be as old as its history though. The properties of silver were known to the Egyptian Pharaohs and think of the European aristocracy's use of opulent silver tableware: cups, plates and cutlery. Food was often stored in trunks made from silver.
Read any biography of Kings or Queens. Or a good history book and look up their death causes: You will hardly ever find one of them died at an unduly age from a disease spread by bacteria, viruses or fungi. Henry VIII, e.g. was reportedly very worried about his extended family's health during the plague in London, that killed almost half its population, but none of them ever succumbed to it. Is it a far fetched conclusion that small traces of silver ingested with the daily use of silver ware might have made the difference? Read on and make up your own mind.

Early Research
Only recently have researchers started to rediscover what silver can do for all of us. At the turn of the century scientists had discovered that the body's most important fluids are colloidal in nature: "permanently suspended ultra-fine particles of substances". Blood, for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells and collects their waste products. This insight led to studies with colloidal metals and minerals and their interaction with the body and the basic antibiotic property of colloidal silver was discovered. Colloidal silver was then used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment, and it was considered quite "high-tech." Production methods however were costly. The pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside in favor of development of fast working more toxic and potentially dangerous drugs:

Modern antibiotics
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today classifies colloidal silver as a pre-1938 drug. In a letter from the FDA dated 9/13/91 it is stated: "These products may continue to be marketed ... as long as they are advertised and labeled for the same use as in 1938 and as long as they are manufactured in the original manner."
Some of the manufacturing methods used before 1938 are still used today, including the Electro-colloidal process, which has proven to be the best method.

Contemporary Studies
While studying the regeneration of limbs spinal cords and organs in the late 1970's Robert O. Becker. MD. and author of "The Body Electric'', discovered that electrically charged silver ions promote growth and kill surrounding bacteria.
The March 1978 issue of Science Digest reported in an article "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter":
"Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic."
The article ended with a quote by Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, MD. and chairman of Washington University's Department of surgery in the 1970s: " Silver is the best all-round germ fighter we have."

How It Works
In the electro-colloidal manufacturing process extremely small (sub micron size) clusters of approximately 15 silver atoms form, each atom charged with a tiny electrically positive charge, which keeps the silver clusters suspended in the colloidal medium, distilled water. This suspension is possible because of one of waters physical anomalies called "Brownian Movement", which potentially keeps the silver infinitely suspended in this medium.
The presence of colloidal silver in the body near a single-celled pathogen, be it bacterium, virus or fungus, disables its metabolism to work and it dies off: Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which also destroy beneficial bacteria, colloidal silver leaves the body's beneficial bacteria intact. It is thought to be the electric charge on the silver, that allows this to take place. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans and animals, in fact for all multi-celled living matter. It is non-toxic, has no side effects and can be used simultaneously with any other medication, as it does not interfere with it.
Taken orally, the colloidal silver is absorbed in the mouth, where it is quickly enters the bloodstream. Swishing the colloidal silver under the tongue for about 30 seconds before swallowing ensures fast absorption. After a few days of intake the silver will have accumulated in the body's tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin. Since colloidal silver is eliminated from the body by the kidneys, liver and lymph system after a few weeks, many people take colloidal silver on a daily basis to maintain a certain silver level in their body. Claims made by maintenance users are often that this prevents new infections successfully and that it is in fact a powerful preventative health measure in general.

Topical Uses
Colloidal silver is painless on cuts, abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for a stuffy nose and even in a baby's eyes because, unlike antiseptics, it does not destroy tissue cells. Use it on burns and boils and actually any skin disorder from spots, pimples and acne to athlete's foot, eczema and warts.
Colloidal silver eases itchiness and pain from bug or mosquito bites. For treating skin problems it is best applied onto a thin band-aid or another thin sterile material, that is cut to size, wet with colloidal silver and let this air-dry.
Colloidal silver can also be used to make a cream or balm, which would preferably be used on skin conditions, that shouldn't be moistened further.
It seems to be most important to place the colloidal silver as near to the infection as possible. So with an ear infection it is advisable to put it into the ear, as it would take considerably longer to accumulate enough silver near the infection if it were taken orally. On the other hand it usually is of additional value to treat an external infection topically and by ingestion at the same time, as this in most cases will speed up the healing process.

Maintenance Dosage
Most adults for a start, take half a tablespoon - 4 times a day for 4 to 7 days to build up the silver level in their body. Then cut down to about half a tablespoon twice a day (half tablespoon doses have the advantage of avoiding unnecessary spillage).
Used this way a 500ml bottle of true colloidal silver will provide you with a daily maintenance dose for approximately 7 weeks.
Colloidal silver works in different amounts and different time-spans for each individual. Some people report instant beneficial effects from taking it just once. Others don't get results until they've taken it for weeks.
One way to determine a dosage is kinesiology or muscle testing, and optimum dose may require more or less colloidal silver. But you can be patient and experiment with dosage yourself. e.g. if the maintenance dose doesn't do much for you after a week, double the dosage for a week to see whether it makes a difference. On the other hand you could lower the dosage when the maintenance dose proves very effective. This way you should be able to determine your personal requirements.

Treating Children
Children or babies would use a proportionally smaller dose. Do not put children on a maintenance dose though. Children need to get ill in order to build up their immune system. Use colloidal silver to assist recovery, when signs of illness do show up.
Children apparently react much quicker and more profoundly to the effects of colloidal silver. Should your child tell you, that it now feels fine and doesn't need to take it anymore, you should rely on mutual trust and stop treatment.
Children usually are not interested in taking medicine. You can learn to empower them by offering colloidal silver instead of administering it. This is a similar way to how you've come across this remedy and you should try to use it in a sharing and loving way of equality. Doing this you will find them coming to ask you if they can use it for whatever they find necessary treating. You will this way not only give them a chance to learn about human ailments, but also learn a lot more about them yourself.

Use in case of an Impaired Immune System
People suffering from an impaired immune system can improve their condition considerably by using colloidal silver on a daily maintenance dose and by increasing intake should infections occur. More and more people develop allergies to conventional antibiotics or suffer from severe side-effects, when taking them, which outweigh their benefits. Colloidal silver can be a real, valuable alternative route to fighting infections for them when conventional, modern antibiotics fail altogether, as is increasingly the case. Reports on efficiency of colloidal silver where people that are already given up by their medical doctors have benefited from this alternative antibiotic are not rare. Especially cases of viral infections and fungal or yeast infections being mistakenly or unknowingly treated with conventional antibiotics (that only kill specific bacteria) are commonplace.
The rediscovery of colloidal silver as an all-round germ fighter comes at a time when mankind and nature in general are prone to an ever faster mutating spectrum of pathogens. The hepatitis virus e.g. has mutated from hepatitis A and B to C,D,E,F,G and H in less than a decade. Some researchers fear, that the backlash of nature on man's conceited victory over disease will have disastrous consequences for all of us.
The misguided use of conventional / modern antibiotics for useless treatments of common ailments like sore throats (that are most usually caused by viruses) and in animal husbandry are repeatedly being addressed as a cause to this effect in the public newspapers. Colloidal silver might help to bring about change and should be promoted by everyone who has benefited from its use.

Dosage For Chronic or Serious Conditions
Reportedly the daily intake has to be doubled or tripled for a period of at least 40 days to tackle chronic infections. Make sure to have enough colloidal silver to maintain such a dosage for the required time, because stopping intake before the infection has completely disappeared will almost always result in a new infection. Whereas conventional antibiotics are acting quickly, colloidal silver may take a longer course of treatment. This was one of the reasons, why it was abandoned in the 1940's.
It is widely recommended to drop to the daily maintenance dose after the infection is gone.
Same dosage appears to be sufficient for serious illnesses. Do not overdose for a start, because if pathogens are killed too quickly the body's eliminator channels may become temporarily overloaded with their debris, resulting in flu-like conditions, headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles. This is known as the Herxheimer- Effect. Some people also refer to this as a healing crisis.
Ease off on the colloidal silver to the maintenance dose and increase water intake.
Regular bowel movements are a must to relieve the discomforts of detoxification. Resolve to reduce sugar and saturated fats from the diet and exercise more. Given the opportunity, the body's natural ability to heal itself will amaze you.
Though it is virtually impossible to overdose with true colloidal silver (see Product Quality), as to receive an amount of elemental silver considered toxic from a 10ppm true colloidal silver product would require you to ingest approximately 250 liters in a couple of weeks, do not overuse it unnecessarily. One tablespoon full of 10ppm true colloidal silver will contain approximately 100 meg elemental silver in 10 mil of liquid. This must be considered a sufficient maintenance dose for the average adult.
A multiple daily dose on top of this is certainly a therapeutic dose and should only be taken to treat serious or chronic infections for as long as it is necessary to overcome them.

Silver - The Missing Nutrient?
In 1940, R.A.Kehoe reported that under normal circumstances, the average daily intake of fruit and vegetables would provide between 50-100 meg of silver as trace element. Since that time, the commercial farm soils of western industrialized countries have become extremely deficient in trace minerals. It can be speculated that since the levels of soil based minerals in North America have dropped over 85% since year 1900 (according to the Earth Summit report issued in 1992), our ancestor's diet used to contain trace silver but undoubtedly our diet today has greatly reduced levels of silver due to decreasing trace elements within the soil.
That said, it should not be assumed that electro-colloidal silver is equivalent to or has the same metabolic effect as receiving silver from our diet. Research in this field is missing completely. Take any of the books on nutrition and look for silver in the index, you will not find it listed there. Small scale research on colloidal silver used on plants and animals, "healthy" and "diseased", however is showing astonishing results and it can be suggested that silver is of major importance to the growth and maturing of plants and animals.
Bio-dynamic farming takes the importance of "bio-metals" into account to some extent but sadly is the only agricultural practice in western civilization that is doing so. The importance of the quality of all of life's building stones is recognized and resulting in a practice of rebuilding Nature's cycles. Many more activities in this wide opening field of research and practice are urgently necessary and will certainly be addressed with the re-awakening and growing interest in the workings of Nature.
When man started to burn the primeval forests for room, the bio-mass contents stayed on the land as ashes and thus became available to man's crops, but then he started to remove the forests' timber for building, construction of ships, mining and power generation. This was when the cycle was broken for the first time. The bio-mass contents were removed from the land and went missing. Then with modern civilization we accustomed ourselves furthermore with stopping to bring back our feaces to the soil as our ancestors used to do. This second time the loss was irretrievable: Flushing one of the earth's noblest content, along with all those trace elements, down the drain. Modern agriculture only brings back to the fields, what agro-industry and modem science supporting it recognize as necessary for plant growth, but of course not those intrinsic building stones of health, all of the biosphere's trace elements, that are being lost continually through our mindless actions.
Since there are very few plant sources of trace silver available today and resourcing them might actually destroy the very basis of their existence, colloidal silver is most probably the best elemental substitute for dietary silver we have left.

Tolerance to Disease Organisms
It is impossible for single-celled germs to mutate into silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore no tolerance to colloidal silver ever develops. Also, colloidal silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicine being taken. Inside the body, colloidal silver does not form any toxic compounds nor reacts with anything other than pathogens. It is a truly safe natural remedy and a great alternative to conventional treatments.

Colloidal Silver in Advance of Illness
When taken orally each day and applied topically when there is a skin problem, it is like having a second immune system. Older folks feel younger because their body's energies are used for other than fighting disease and digestion is better.
Medical research has shown that silver promotes rapid healing, with less scar tissue. even in case of severe bums or deep cuts. Fantastic successes have been reported in many cases previously given up by established doctors. Colloidal Silver is almost tasteless, does not sting sensitive tissues and won't upset your stomach. It is absolutely non-toxic except to pathogens and it is not addictive.

Other Uses of Colloidal Silver
Colloidal Silver works just as well for pets of all kinds. Used in proportion to body weight it brings the same sure results safely. On plants just add some to the water or soil and they will do the rest. You can also use colloidal silver to preserve food. Spray it on fruit and vegetables and it will keep them from browning, or add it to milk and other diary products to prolong their shelf-life.

More than 650 Diseases
The following is a partial list of the more than 650 diseases that colloidal silver has been successfully used against: acne, AIDS, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, athlete's foot, bladder inflammation, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, burns, cancer, candida, choicral colitis, colds, cold sores, conjunctivitis, cystitis, dermatitis, diabetes, dysentery, eczema, fibrositis, the common flu, gastritis gingivitis, gonorrhea, hay fever, hepatitis, herpes, impetigo, indigestion, keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, Lyme disease, malaria, meningitis, neurasthenia, parasitic infections viral, fungal and bacterial pneumonia, pleurisy, prostate pruritus ani, psoriasis, purulent opthalmia rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm, salmonella infection, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, sinusitis, sore throat, skin ulcers, staphylococcus and streptococcus infections, stomach flu, syphilis, thyroid, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, all forms of viruses, warts, whooping cough, yeast infections, stomach ulcer, canine parovirus and other veterinary uses and all fungal bacterial or viral attacks on plants.
Colloidal silver is emerging as one of the wonders of science that the medical establishment is just beginning to rediscover. It's being used in bone surgery in the United States and in 70% of US burns units. Swiss biochemists are studying silver's ability to interrupt the cellular replication of HIV at various stages, and in Canada, Switzerland and the US, doctors use various forms of silver to treat a multitude of infections.

Article by John T. Wilson
In one of the Monty Python books there is a comic advertisement for the spoof Welsh self-defense art Llap Goch in which it was pointed out that it was so powerful that you would be able to attack and disable your enemy before he had even thought of attacking you! It is a thought that those who have been mugged in the street relish, for even if the police are informed and the attackers caught (unlikely) you have still suffered the attack, with all the pain, loss and trauma involved. Our attempts to defend ourselves against illness are a bit like that - the enemy (illness) strikes, we call in the doctor, who gives us a prescription for antibiotics and we mop up the remaining symptoms with it, wishing we had been able to avoid catching the illness in the first place. Why can't we take the antibiotic first?
Interestingly, genetic engineers have recently been working on research to deal with the hundreds of bacteria which threaten our health by altering one of the bacterial enzymes (called RnaseP) so that their resistance to antibiotics is lowered. In the fight against disease, medicine is increasingly coming up against bacteria which have developed resistance to modern antibiotics, and these "super bugs" represent a great threat to health as they multiply and spread.
The result is a worrying increase in the incidence and virulence of traditional viral and bacteria-caused diseases which we thought we had all but conquered:
tuberculosis, bronchitis, candida, diphtheria, dysentery, meningitis, salmonella infection, etc. Modern antibiotics have, of course, other disadvantages. You cannot buy them over the counter, so, for those ailments such as colds, flu and other minor infections, you have to make a doctor's appointment, sometimes waiting for two or three days before you can get a prescription - by which time the infection has virtually run its course. Also, many people are allergic to various modem antibiotics and suffer side effects that can be as bad (if not worse!) than the original complaint. In fact evidence is now emerging that in some instances antibiotics are implicate in the increase in some forms of serious illness. A team of specialists in Gloucester found that in towns with meningitis clusters there were 50% more prescriptions for antibiotics and nine times more cases of B group bacterial meningitis than in comparative towns with a lower incidence of the disease. While the team has been unable to conclude that the greater frequency of antibiotic prescriptions is actually responsible for the increased incidence of meningitis, it did conclude that there are strong reasons for further investigation.
However similar inquiries in the United States and France suggest that antibiotics may kill pH neutral bacteria in the respiratory tract which are natural protectors against meningitis. More disturbing, perhaps, is a report in Newsweek Magazine which stated that in the USA 13000 hospital patients died of infections that resisted every drug that the doctors tried. More and more people are becoming disillusioned by the "take this prescription" syndrome which is the hallmark of modern medicine, which waits until a disease develops and then simply prescribes a dose of powerful antibiotics. This is a short sighted policy, particularly when we know that continually taking antibiotics weakens our resistance to illnesses in the long term and plays havoc with our immune system - the body's natural defense.
The immune system is a highly complicated group of mechanisms (antibodies, antitoxins and white blood cells) that go into action to protect the body from invasion or attack by foreign or harmful organisms. There is increasing evidence that over-prescribing of antibiotics can lead to damage to the immune system and its ability to respond effectively to infections and other threats. Added to this is the ever-increasing threat from "free radicals"; free floating molecules within the body that seek to attach themselves to healthy cells causing the damage known as oxidization which leads to cell and tissue degeneration and disease. Many scientists and researchers believe that it is this process which is the root cause of many of the degenerative diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism, heart disease - perhaps even cancer and AIDS.
Given the above, it is not surprising that in the UK we now spend £1.4 billion in over-the-counter medicines, from vitamins and herbal preparations to non-prescription drugs and potions, as Mintel has reported recently. Another survey by MORI also showed that 47% of 1000 adults interviewed said they were more likely to buy over-the-counter drugs for self-treatment than they were two years ago. Significantly, more than half the adult population were shown to suffer from colds, flu, headaches, coughs, sore throats, stuffy noses, indigestion, chapped lips and diarrhea - and these are the areas where both prescription medication and alternative medicines are most used. The interest in natural and holistic approaches to health is growing in pace, with an increasing recognition of the importance of a positive approach to health through a better diet, regular exercise and a return to some of the traditional ways of keeping illness at bay. One of these, you will be pleased to know, works on the Monty Python principle of attacking a wide range of illnesses before they even think of attacking you! In other words, there is something you can do to give yourself prior protection against a whole range of bacteria and viral-caused infections and illnesses before they strike you down. Interestingly, this is based on a substance used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and later by the Wild West settlers, to keep liquids pure: silver.
While it is thought that silver was used as a remedy in ancient Egypt, the first written mention of its use in a medical context is found in a pharmacopoeia published in Rome in 69B, while the first clear record of its use as a medical agent is in the writings of the Mohammedan School founded by Geber (702-765AD). Much later, in 1834, the German obstetrician E. Crede used a 1% solution of silver (silver nitrate) on the eyes of new-born children, virtually eliminating the incidence of blindness from disease in new-born babies. Among many other results reported by medical researchers and practitioners was that of Mark Howell, who wrote in the British Medical journal in 1917 of his successful use of colloidal silver for septic renditions of the mouth (including pyorrhea nlveoiari.z - Rigg's Disease), throat (including Meniere's symptoms and closure of Valsalva's inflation and in generalized septicemia, leucorrhoea, cystitis, whooping cough and shingles.

Dr Robert Becker noticed a correlation between low levels of silver in the body (the human body naturally contains about .001% silver derived from the soil through the food we eat) and their vulnerability to ailments, concluding, since those with low silver levels were frequently sick, had innumerable colds, flu, fevers and other sicknesses - that a silver deficiency in the body was the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system. "What we have actually done", says Becker, "is rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, which has been known for centuries. When antibiotics were discovered, clinical uses for silver were discarded."
Further extensive research carried in the early years of this century and in the 1970s and 1980s established colloidal silver (small particles of silver suspended electronically in a pure water solution) as a highly effective agent against over 650 pathogens, with none of the side effects found with the powerful modern antibiotics.
For example, in 1910, Dr. Henry Crooks, a pioneer in colloidal chemistry wrote: Certain metals, when in a colloidal state, have a highly genocidal action but are quite harmless to human beings... it may be applied in a much more concentrated form and with better results...Staphylococcus pyogenes, various Streptococci and other pathogenic organisms are all killed in three to four minutes: in fact, no microbe is known that is not killed by this colloid in laboratory experiment in six minutes, (and) the concentration of the (silver) does not exceed twenty-five parts per million..."
There is, in fact, a small number of silver resistant bacteria which have so far been documented, including: Cifrobacter Freundii Enterobacter Cloacae; enterobacteriacea (some strains); Escherichia Cell (some strains); Klebsiclla pneumonize P. Stunteri (some strains); Proteus Mirabilis; and Vegetative B. Cereus Spores.)
That assessment has been borne out by all later research - indeed NASA, in common with over half the world's airlines uses silver to provide its space crews with safe drinking water. It would seem that the researches of the genetic engineers referred to earlier in this article could be largely wasted effort, given that, for most practical purposes, the problem has already been solved (but subsequently forgotten about) over eighty years ago. Silver began its more recent comeback in the 1970s when the late Dr. Carl Moyer, Chairman of the University of Washington's Department of Surgery was given a grant to develop improved treatment for burn victims. Dr. Harry Margraf of St Louis, the chief biochemist working in the program under Dr. Moyer, tested 22 antiseptic compounds, finding drawbacks to all of them until he focused on colloidal silver, which proved to be the most effective and is now used in all major burn centers throughout the world.
In 1971 Dr. E. Henderson, Professor of Microbiology at Temple University's School of Medicine reported his experiments which tested colloidal silver's ability to block production of HIV in human T-cell Lymphocytes (white blood cells). At very low doses the colloidal silver dramatically blocked viral production with little, if any, toxicity.
With the widespread loss of confidence in the medical establishment, at least as far as everyday ailments and medications are concerned, people are increasingly taking more responsibility for their own health, returning to folk and herbal medicines and realizing the importance of preventative health care. The growing interest in the benefits of colloidal silver is part of this general move towards taking responsibility for ones own health rather than waiting to be cured once illness has been allowed to take hold. The experts, who have revived interest in this effective, traditional cure-all recommends taking approximately a teaspoonful of colloidal silver a day. This has the effect of strengthening the immune system and giving protection against a wide range of disease-causing organisms. Silver can save lives and, on a less dramatic but nonetheless important scale, it can keep us free of many of the irritating and debilitating illnesses that modern antibiotics are becoming increasingly powerless to ward off. Silver has always been a synonym for wealth; now, it appears it has equal importance as a determinant of health.

It's a little sappy at times and often uses poor english, but is interesting none the less.

You might try doing a reiki session using their symbol. I found it to hold an intention, like the other symbols of reiki. What do you think?

Aloha,

Meanwhile my feet stick together, I can't wear shoes or have a blanket touch my feet. Eventually they fall off! I am glad I dance barefoot. The lesions are on my internal organs and God it makes me sick)

Im just getting of my 21 days "probation" as Ive just been attuned Reiki II... and I am sending reiki to her.

Distance Healing With Reiki

Zachary — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 04:36:44 GMT

Here is how I was taught to do a distance healing with reiki. I know it's not the only way, and may not be your way, but I'd like to share it with you all. In it you do not need a person's location, and you don't have to specify a particular ailment, unless you want to. Feel free to try it, or not. If your method differs, please let me know your way of distance healing, if you feel like sharing. It's from my reiki manual I wrote for Second Degree classes, so bear with me if it's kinda boring, or whatever...

Distance Healing

The distance healing process is simple and takes less than twenty minutes to accomplish. It is faster than a hands on healing, and the energy will enter the person’s aura first, then go to their body. You can do a distance healing to anything you can think of, not just people. Some examples would be: Your entire family, your dog, all the water in Thailand, anyone who’s ever been hit by a train, yourself, etc.
Another powerful and useful aspect of distance healing is that space and time are not barriers to its effectiveness. You can reiki your brother’s cat, even if it’s on the other side of the planet. Also, you can send reiki into both the past and the future. For instance, if you knew ahead of time that you were going to have open heart surgery on March 17, 2026, then you could start reikiing yourself for it now. Or, you could send reiki to all the soldiers in the Trojan War. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.
Another useful aspect of the distance healing is the capability of having it repeat. It can be set to repeat a specified number of times, or until the problem is solved. For example, the healing will occur twice per day, at noon and midnight for the next 30 days, including today. Or, once per day until my Scarlet Fever is gone.

The following is the sequence of events in a distance healing:
(1) Calm yourself.
(2) Visualize the three symbols in the order of H, S, C.
(3) Name and visualize those that you want the healing energy to go to. Again, it can be any number of Nouns, such as your extended family, all the rhubarb plants in Idaho, or every victim of sexual degradation in Uganda. (I was taught to always include myself in the healing). Also, at this point if you're intuitive, ask your guides for any suggestions of things to include in your healing.
(4) Decide when the healing will take place, such as now, noon a week ago, or 3:45pm on June 4th, 2014.
(5) Decide if the healing will repeat, such as no repeating, twice a day for ten days, or once a day for forty days.
(6) Visualize the three symbols in the order of H, S, C.
(7) Lastly spend fifteen minutes doing the Reiki. The Reiki can be done in a vast number of ways. Using a doll to represent the person, using a visualization of a person, using your thighs to represent the front/back of a torso, visualizing the entire person very small and cupped in your hands, etc.
Here are a few examples of using a distance reiki session a bit creatively; (1) Do a distance reiki healing to your sleep debt when you can’t seem to get enough time to catch up on it. (2) Do a distance reiki session with no particular thing as the receiver. Instead, focus the session to form a sphere of reiki energy that will hang around near you, and when you come upon someone that can use it, direct it to go to them. (3) Reiki your day at work, before it happens, in order to help things go more pleasantly.

That's it hope you like'd it. ^_^

distance reiki for a friend

Shoshana — Sat, 29 Oct 2005 20:11:43 GMT

A beautiful friend of mine who calls himself Cheshyre is going through a terrible time of it right now....his mother has been battling liver cancer and the doctors have told him to get ready to loser her. I am going to send him, his mother, and his family all the good energy I can, and I would like to ask for anyone willing, able, and open to please do the same. I just want to do everything I can to get as much energy flowing towards him as I can, as he and his need all the stregnth and love they can muster.

To give a sense of him, here's something that he wrote reccently:

"In the meantime, please show love and light in all that you do. Help your neighbor. If there is something you can do for your community, come forward and let your skills be used for the betterment of all. Create art. Make music. Make love. Love one another and let us be a force of positive energy that will spread out to the four corners of the Earth."

Thank you always....

Reiki Class in Portland

reikirohr — Wed, 17 Aug 2005 17:17:51 GMT

Hello there fellow Reiki folks.
If you know of anyone
who might be interested,
please pass this on. Thank you!

My name is Brian Rohr and I am
a Reiki Master and Massage Therapist
with a practice at the centerRing,
a community center in Portland, Or.
who is beginning to teach
Reiki Level One classes to the public.

In order to celebrate this,
I am offering a special deal:

Throughout the month of September
I will be offering the class for only $50!
(it is normally $100-$250 for Reiki level one)

In October the price will be raised to $75,
and then November and on will be at $100.

I will be teaching almost every Saturday,
and will be accepting a maximum of
4 students per class.
It is a one day (full day) class.

If you are interested in taking this step,
and inviting Reiki to be a part of your life,
or if you have any questions at all,
Please email me at:

reikirohr@yahoo.com

or call: 503.621.6054

At that time,
I will provide you with
specific dates, times and details.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a unique form of energetic healing
that has the ability to bring about
balance and harmony in one's life.
The word Reiki is often used to mean
"Universal Life Force Energy."
or “Spirit Driven Life Force Energy”
The word also describes a system of energy work
that is simple and gentle, yet very profound,
which was developed during the nineteenth century
in Japan by a man named Dr. Mikao Usui.

What is Reiki used for?
Some benefits of Reiki can include
support during times of depression,
giving relief from chronic pain and illness,
helping to reduce stress and anxiety,
and helping to provide support during times of transition.
Most importantly, Reiki is very useful in helping one
get more in touch with their spiritual self.

How is Reiki Taught?
Reiki is not taught in the usual way
of many healing modalities.
The gift of Reiki is transferred
from Master to student in a process called an attunement.
During this process, the Master helps
to open up the students energy field,
and create a permanent link to the source of Reiki.
One this link is created and you have Reiki,
you have it for life, it will never fade or go away.
The rest of the class is used to teach
about what Reiki is and it’s history,
and how to use this wonderful, loving energy.

A little of my background:
I have had the fortunate experience
to study with three distinct and amazing
Reiki Masters during my journey from
first learning Reiki to becoming a Master myself.
Reiki Level One was with Maurita J. Murphy
at the Choosehealing School of Reiki in Cornwall, England.
My Reiki Level Two Master was April Orem,
here in Portland, Oregon.
And I have had the privilege to
be trained as a Reiki Master under William Lee Rand,
a known figure in the Reiki community
who founded The International Center for Reiki Training,
and is the founder and editor of Reiki News Magazine.

Take care,
and with love and light,
and Reiki blessings,

cancer and my friend....

starchild374 — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 20:23:47 GMT

i have just discovered after one week of waiting that a friend of mine has prostate cancer. it has metastasized into his bone and he will begin hormone injection in two weeks....

*sigh*

i feel activated to learn and help as holy as possible....
i offered him weekly reiki/energetic healing sessions and am dedicated to hold the space for his journey's knowing....
i have never dealt with this amount of dis-ease, however, and i call for the strength of Love to come through me and all who are so called to assist...
i ask for feedback on the experienced energetics of cancer...
on how hands on healing has helped cancer...
diet/dietary supplements suggestions...
thoughts on imbalance of the bones/prostate...

i feel that i can offer the nurturing of Spirit, balancing of the fields and chakras/organs, peace in mentality, accepting/calm emotional body.... etc.
but what is the cancer?
what is it?
i can hold the intention of Love....
which can permeate anything...
can Love dissolve cancer?

he was just married in february...
this entry is for her as well....
it is for them...
together and individually....

i would like to humbly mention that i am a proficient conduit/intuitive...
i am feeling this out in the fullest sense
and i need support....
answers come to me via the web of knowing....
whoever is so called to touch me with their wisdom....
i bow to thee....

what a humble and solemn place....

a little bigger than usual

Whitney — Tue, 05 Jul 2005 01:57:07 GMT

Aloha all. I have been working on a project for a couple weeks and it just occurred to me that others might be interested in jumping onboard. Avian Flu is on the brink of mutating into a human host influenza pandemic. I've been adding "people who are currently exposed to the avian flu virus" into my distance reiki sessions. The less chance it has to adapt to the human immune system, the better off we'll all be. So a little immuno-boost to those in need could be a very good thing, and get those viruses out of the body as soon as possible.
Thanks,
~Whit

Hi Tribe,

I'm in the process of selling my car, and was hoping some of you would send some reiki to help. Basically there's a woman who wants to buy it as soon as her car sells, so things are just pending on the person wanting her car to have the funds. If you could send some reiki to help things run smoothly and without effort, that would be so great.

Much Love,

Our first Sunday has passed, and I definitely felt a lot of energy coming my way throughout the day. A couple times I was actually a bit woozy, and had to lie down. Feeling very good today, thanks to you all. Mahalo.

How was it for the rest of you?

Zachary — Thu, 02 Jun 2005 22:18:58 GMT

The idea behind my creating this tribe was due to all the localized reiki circle tribes and people trying to get groups going on some of the general reiki tribes. Here, finding who wants to participate in a distance healing circle is quite simple. The entire list of members will be participating. So, each Sunday just have a look at the list of members, maybe write all their names down, and then do a distance healing. Don't worry if you miss a Sunday, we all get busy from time to time. Namaste.
