1) HOW DOES REIKI BEST SERVE THE WORLD
By Angie Webster

The question of how Reiki truly serves and what its actual purpose is meant to be became a real focus in my life in the last year or so. You could say I experienced a sort of a Reiki dark night of the soul. It was a spiritual crisis and a physical crisis. I had ongoing health issues, which greatly frustrated me, especially in the beginning. But perhaps even more difficult for me was the fact that I began to feel very cut off from Reiki. I felt disillusioned with the ways I saw it being presented in the world, discussed and taught. This beautiful spiritual practice, which had supported me for so long now felt fake and foreign to me. And I felt fake for feeling that way.

I discontinued all my clients. I stopped writing articles. I took a long sabbatical from my Reiki work and allowed myself to explore my feelings and Reiki. For a while, I continued to do self-Reiki practice each morning before meditation. But I felt so disillusioned that this often left me feeling hopeless and upset. Soon, I even began to feel as though Reiki itself wanted me to stop. I felt resistance and push back when I attempted to place my hands on my body or to mentally invite the flow of Reiki. I listened, and I stopped for a few months. Instead, I continued to meditate and to ask for inner guidance about what the next step on my path was.

In many ways, I felt like Reiki had abandoned me or like perhaps the Reiki part of my life was over. I knew enough to trust that a Higher Power was guiding me. Even though I didn’t want to, I surrendered and waited. I trusted, even though I felt no connection and felt physically and spiritually drained, that I would be shown the way eventually. After all, this was not my first walk through the dark night.

I now see that this was how Reiki chose to work with me during those months. It was allowing me the space to figure out that Reiki is not something external that I call upon to “fix” or change something I find unpleasant. It was holding space for me to find that Reiki is a part of me, always inside my heart, no matter what I experience. I had said it a million times, but I needed to really have a personal experience with it to truly understand.

What I came to understand and value about Reiki during my walk in the darkness it that Reiki is not about denying the dark, avoiding unpleasant realities, and pushing away what we don’t want to see or deal with. It isn’t about being a psychic or a medium or even sensing energy. Reiki is about honest acceptance of what IS. Just as like any healthy spiritual path, Reiki helps us to see Truth. And that is not just light, love, happiness, and lovely experiences. It includes all things.

Reiki is a spiritual tool which teaches us resilience. It allows us to face and acknowledge the difficulties of life without expectations. Not expectations that things will change or that they will go the way we think they should, or that other people will behave as we think they should, or that our bodies and emotions will always feel pleasant. Simply allowing what it to be what it is.

Part of my process was remembering that Reiki practice isn’t just a hands-on practice. It is a meditative practice, which includes the Reiki precepts. When I began working with the precepts again, I started to settle back into this state of being an observer of my own inner world. I could allow what I saw inside me to arise without denial or looking away when I worked with the precept of “I will do my work with honesty.” The ‘work’ was my own inner work, not external work. It was not work meant to make my body change how sick it felt, or to change any aspect of my life I was unhappy with. It simply started with resting truthfully with what I saw arise each day in meditation. Ironically, this was exactly where I had started many years before—even before I knew about Reiki. And I remembered that this honesty with myself and allowing of what IS naturally created changes in my life, almost without effort. It changed the way my mind worked, allowing it to be more open to new ways of seeing myself and therefore others. It opened me to compassion and brought clarity that led to focus and discipline. It opened me to self-responsibility. I was seeing with fresh eyes. The eyes I had when I first began practicing Reiki and when I first began meditating, years before that.

I soon realized that this open state of allowing was just what made me fall in love with Reiki when I first came to know the practice. See, when I first became attuned, I had very few people to practice on. But I loved being outdoors, so I would walk in the wooded areas and by the creek and just open my heart and allow loving energy to flow to the land, the water, the animals, the plants, the trees. I felt so alive and connected! I felt and saw Nature respond to me in the same loving manner. Birds, rabbits, squirrels, butterflies and dragonflies would come from all directions to connect in this loving energy. And I sent love to them all. I had no agenda. I didn’t want any of them to do anything, such as lie down, stay, come closer, let me touch them—nothing. I wasn’t trying to heal them or figure out what was wrong. I was simply with them and Nature with what was and in this loving energy that I now call Reiki.

This is how I practice Reiki with animals. In fact, animals don’t tend to respond well if you try to focus on “fixing” them or healing them. But with myself and with people, it became about what needed to be fixed. Even though it crept in subconsciously, I recognized that this was where I had come to in my practice. Reiki had often become about what was wrong and that was where the focus typically was. But that misses the point because Reiki doesn’t need us to find what it “wrong.” We aren’t even qualified to do that as Reiki practitioners. When we focus on what is wrong, we don’t leave space for the wholeness of what really is. And while the reality often contains some dark, that darkness must be faced and accepted in order for it to be healed and integrated.

Both in our personal Reiki practice and in our work with others, it is deeply important that we work from an open-hearted space of allowing. This is how Reiki best serves us and the world. Allow space for all that is in this moment. Allow space for others to walk their own path. Be willing to look deeply and honestly at your own inner world as you work with your personal Reiki practice and accept yourself. Take compassionate care and nurturing self-responsibility for your own path. Rather than pushing away the parts of yourself, others, or life that feel unpleasant, see these things as opportunities to observe how your inner world responds. Observing truthfully, openly and compassionately leaves room for great healing.

2) FRANKINCENSE: THE UNBELIEVABLE USES OF THIS ANCIENT OIL
by dr. Axe

When one of the famous “Three Kings” sang of frankincense’s divinity, he sure knew what he was talking about.

Indeed, frankincense has been utilized to treat a wide array of illnesses for literally thousands of years. Have anxiety, inflammation, a cough, or antibacterial needs?

Frankincense will serve you well in all of these situations. In fact, there are even cancer preventing properties associated with it.

Another one of frankincense’s lesser-known qualities is its ability to relieve digestive problems, and if you eat out frequently, you’re probably no stranger to periodic gas, constipation, or stomach pains in general.

If this sounds familiar, it should be pleasant to learn that a study in the European Journal of Medical Research concludes that 350 mg of frankincense oil (taken three times per day for six weeks) induces remission of ulcerative colitis in three out of four people.

As mentioned, this oil can be used to treat coughs, but it can also help cure other respiratory problems such as asthma and laboured breathing. Again, research legitimizes these treatments—for bronchial asthma in particular.

Moreover, boswellic acids in frankincense have been proven to work just as well as NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs); however, frankincense does not cause any serious side effects like joint damage, heart failure, or gastrointestinal damage.

When you consider that a few drops of oil can provide relief from arthritis, and a few more drops in bathwater can relieve more general joint or muscle pain, it is difficult to think of a reason not to give frankincense a try.

And again, as alluded to, this oil can be added to toothpaste or rubbed onto gums in order to enhance oral hygiene and prevent issues such as bad breath, infections, or event cavities: further studies have demonstrated that frankincense helps fight gingivitis.

Most people are (rightly) skeptical when they read of natural treatments that aid in fighting cancer or chemotherapy side effects, but frankincense has the research to back itself up: the oil activates genes that control cancer cell growth, suppression, and death.

What’s more, studies also show the oil fights cancerous cells without harming healthy DNA, all while boosting white blood cells and the human immune system in general.

So, what are the “catches?” Do purchase 100% pure, organic frankincense oils for internal use from a reputable company, and do not use internally without first consulting a licensed aromatherapist.

But a little due diligence is worth it for a lot of health and happiness, isn’t it?

3) HEALTH BENEFITS OF DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
by Cathy Wong

Digestive enzymes are proteins involved in the digestion of food. Found naturally in the body, digestive enzymes are also sold in dietary supplement form. Proponents claim that these enzymes can help treat a variety of health problems, such as digestive disorders.

Secreted by the pancreas, digestive enzymes aid the body in breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. When normal functioning of the pancreas is disrupted (due to illness or injury) resulting in insufficient enzyme production, the body may be unable to properly absorb these nutrients. Digestive enzyme supplements are thought to protect against this malabsorption.

Digestive enzyme supplements often contain a mixture of enzymes, such as proteolytic enzymes (needed to digest protein), lipase (needed to digest fat), and amylase (needed to digest carbohydrates). Proteolytic enzyme supplements are also available, such as bromelain and papain.

Uses

In alternative medicine, digestive enzymes are said to aid in the treatment of the following conditions:

~ celiac disease
~ Crohn's disease
~ heartburn
~ indigestion
~ irritable bowel syndrome
~ pancreatic insufficiency
~ pancreatitis
~ ulcerative colitis

In addition, proteolytic enzymes are said to lower cholesterol. Although digestive enzymes are normally taken with meals for digestive purposes, when taken in between meals on an empty stomach, they are said to stimulate the immune system, manage arthritis, reduce inflammation, improve liver health, and fight cancer.

Here's a look at some key findings on the potential health benefits of supplements containing digestive enzymes:

1) Irritable Bowel Syndrome

A digestive enzyme known as pancrelipase may alleviate some symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, according to a pilot study published in Frontline Gastroenterology in 2011. For the study, 69 patients with irritable bowel syndrome were given either pancrelipase or a placebo before consuming foods known to trigger their symptoms. Study results showed that those treated with pancrelipase experienced a significantly greater improvement in such symptoms as cramping, bloating, and pain.

2) Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Several preliminary studies suggest that bromelain may help manage colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease. For example, a 2010 study published in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases found that bromelain helped decrease inflammation of the colon in mice with colitis.

3) Cancer

Digestive enzymes may be beneficial to people undergoing cancer treatment, according to a 2008 report published in Integrative Cancer Therapies. In their analysis of preliminary studies and clinical trials on the effects of enzyme therapy (including proteolytic enzymes) on people with cancer, the report's authors found that enzymes may reduce several side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy (including nausea, fatigue, and weight loss).

4) Arthritis

Bromelain may help relieve pain related to osteoarthritis, according to a research review published in Arthritis Research & Therapy in 2006. Looking at nine clinical trials testing bromelain's effects on osteoarthritis patients, the review's authors found some evidence that bromelain may offer pain-reducing effects similar to those of diclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug often prescribed for osteoarthritis).

Caveats

Digestive enzymes may trigger a number of side effects, including stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. In addition, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to digestive enzymes.

Where to Find It

Widely available for purchase online, digestive enzymes are sold in many natural-foods stores, drugstores, and stores specializing in dietary supplements.

Using It for Health

Due to the limited research, it's too soon to recommend digestive enzymes as a treatment for any condition. It's important to note that self-treating a chronic condition with digestive enzymes and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences. If you're considering the use of digestive enzymes, make sure to consult your physician first.
