IN THIS ISSUE: 1) THE BIRTH OF REIKI 2) YOU ARE A CREATOR
3) BUILDING IMMUNITY
********************************************
1) THE BIRTH OF REIKI A Japanese born Christian monk during the mid 1800s left teaching to find answers and to learn more about healing. This monk was Dr. Mikao Usui. During his long travel he discovered an ancient formula that he followed. He entered into a “high state of consciousness”, in which a great light came into contact with him. It was his awareness moving into the white chakras, which signify our male aspect of Goodhood and Spirit through which we gain direction in spiritual knowledge. He witnessed the chakras as bubbles of light filled with colors. Upon contemplating those chakras he learned the associated symbols, attuning himself to their use in healing. What became of his experience was the foundation for the healing art we know today as Reiki.
2) YOU ARE A CREATOR "Believe You Are A Creator" "Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you." -- Shakti Gawain We hold the power to create whatever we desire. Our ability to manifest the changes we desire depends on the depth and passion of our beliefs and on the focus of our attention. With this understanding, we, as individuals and as society, can design a whole new future for ourselves. Our challenge is to break free of society’s world view, to truly empower our imaginations to create brand new realities. It brings a whole new meaning to ‘vision.’ What do you passionately desire for your own life? For the planet? "By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The non-existent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired." -- Nikos Kazantzakis
In the last few years there has been increasing concern about the potential for epidemics of new infectious disease. With SARS, West Nile Virus, mad cow disease and bird flu now, we can see that the danger is real. So, what can we do about it? The simple answer is to build our immunity. There are simple solutions that can go a long way toward reducing the risk of major epidemics. Personally I do not believe in vaccines. Flu vaccines are useless and expensive. It is better to be exposed to micro-organisms because the body will create its own natural defence. Individuals who are most likely to develop more severe symptoms when exposed to infectious micro-organisms are those who have undeveloped immune function. This primarily includes infants, seniors and chronically ill. The major factors that lead to compromised immune function result from poor lifestyle choices. These include: poor diet, lack of exercise, insufficient sleep, too much stress, negative emotions, exposure to chemical pollutants in the environment, regular use of social and pharmaceutical drugs. B vitamins are important to fight stress. They should be taken with a good mineral supplement. Calcium, magnesium and zinc are particularly important. Antioxidants, such as vitamin A, C, E and mineral selenium, are essential to proper immune function. There are many non-essential antioxidants that support immunity. These include carotens, bioflavonoids, quercetin, polyphenols such as those found in green tea, grape seed and pine bark extracts, and coenzyme Q10. There are many herbs and other natural health products that, if used correctly, can help to optimize immune function. Immune stimulants can boost immune function in the short term. They may also be used to treat infection in progress. The most versatile immune stimulants are the various echinacea species, calendula, elecampane and boneset. To support immune function, two or three of these herbs should be taken three to four times per day for one to two weeks. For best results, repeat this a few times with a one to two week break in between. When already sick the herbs should be taken four to six times per day until feeling better. For those who already have an infection, some of the better antimicrobials include echinacea and calendula, yarrow, hyssop, thyme. Lemon balm, barberry and others. Immune tonics have a deeper action on the immune system, but take longer to work. These are astralagus, North American and Siberian ginseng, and reishi mushroom. They can be taken three to four times per day for treating infections in progress. For the best result they should be taken following several cycles of immune stimulants. Vitamins and nutritional supplements should be taken with meals, herbs on an empty stomach, preferably 20 to 30 minutes before meals and before bed. Herbs are best taken in tincture form, especially tinctures made from fresh herbs. But many of these herbs are almost as effective when taken as a tea. Herbs and other natural health products are a valuable aid complementing a healthy diet and lifestyle, and a positive outlook in life. If we mask the problem with supplements, their effectiveness will be limited and eventually they won’t work at all. We have the ability to educate ourselves and take our health into our own hands instead of waiting for someone else to solve our problems.
********************************************* "The choice between love and fear is made every moment in our hearts and minds. That is where the peace process begins. Without peace within, peace in the world is an empty wish. Like love, peace is extended. It cannot be brought from the world to the heart. It must be brought from each heart to another, and thus to all mankind." --Paul Ferrini *********************************************
