The other day I talked about Alternative treatments and focused more on Reiki. When describing Reiki, I talked about the Universal Energy. This is a term that many people have trouble with as sometimes if you can't see it you might not understand or believe it.
Everything in the world is made up of energy. Einstein theorized that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is. The reason things look different is that energy is put together in different ways. Think of it as Lego. You can build many houses out of Lego but if you use the colours in different places, the house looks different. This is a very simplistic description, but it illustrates what I am trying to say.
In order to understand a little better and perhaps feel what I am saying, take a minute and rub your hands together, palms touching. Rub them together quickly for about a minute or two. Now, slowly move them about 2 inches apart. Now bring them back together. Move them about 6 inches apart, then bring them back together. Do this a few times, each time moving them a little farther apart. Remember to do this s-l-o-w-l-y. Can you feel any resistance between your palms? Something like a squishy feeling? Rubbery almost? If you feel this than you are feeling your body's energy. This is what you are made up of. This is what surrounds your body. Besides the energy that you acquire through eating and drinking, this provides your body with the fuel to live. They say that some of the most proficient yogis of the world can even subsist on this energy during their prolonged periods of meditation.
This energy is available to all of us to use for our healing. Our bodies strive to be well. We have built in armies to fight off infection and disease. Unfortunately, we don't do all that we can to help our bodies. In face we sometimes hurt our bodies by eating too much processed food, too much sugar, too much of many things that cause our bodies to break down as they become overwhelmed by our indulgences!
By taping into the energy around us and letting it move through us to help us heal, we are doing our bodies a great service. Each individual needs to become aware of what works for them. Some people can't digest wheat, dairy or grains. Some people have trouble with raw vegetables, some people are allergic to nuts, some fruits and some vegetables. Everyone is unique and only by paying attention to our bodies and what they are telling us, and then caring about ourselves enough to DO something, are we allowing the natural healing energy around us to help.
We can do even more by utilizing, or asking for the healing energy to wash over us and to help us heal and then ALLOWING it to happen.
Try having an energy healing treatment sometime and allow it to carry you on a wondrous healing journey!
