Stay Healthy - Purify Your Energy
by:Laura M. Turner, C.H.H.P
Eastern healers believe the body is energetic. According to
them, the flesh and blood that is "us" is innervated
by an invisible membrane; a fiber network which is also an
energetic blueprint of the physical body. At the helm of this
creative vehicle is our thoughts. Thoughts create the energy
that will eventually manifest into matter and will determine
the fate of our bodies.
As you may have guessed, I believe in this idea
of energy to matter manifestation. I also believe this energetic
support surrounds the body. You've undoubtedly heard of or
have seen the "aura," I imagine everyone has. It's
is my theory that the body responds to this aura and the purity
of it; thus responding to the purity of our thoughts. Easterners,
on the other hand, call the energy surrounding the body "chi."
In the same way, energetic healing to Easterners happens when
chi is cleansed and purified. It is in this state that the
body is more inclined to be disease free. I agree wholeheartedly.
So how then to cleanse your chi? Here's three
of my favorite, simple ways.
Meditation
What does meditation do? Meditation asks you
to move to a deeper spiritual level challenging you to be
open to your subconscious mind. In this state you can remove
the mental "debris," creating an image of peace,
health and wellness. Meditation has allowed many ill people
to become well again. It has also helped heal cancer and many
other seemingly terminal illnesses.
How do you meditate? There are as many ways
to meditate as you can imagine. And to get the to the root
of subconscious there is no one right way. What matters is
that you embrace meditation and learn to practice daily for
just a few minutes. It is as easy as sitting quietly, then
following the breath. This removes focus from your thoughts
and places the focus into the vastness of yourself and your
healing energy.
Healing Touch: Reiki Energy Medicine
What is Reiki? Reiki is more than a modality, it is an experience.
Although the result of Reiki is unique for everyone, most
report the feeling of deep physical and mental relaxation
during and after treatment. Reiki is administered through
a light touch of the hands on various body parts. During treatment,
the recipient rests in a reclined position, fully clothed.
What does Reiki do? Reiki, through its powerful
universal energy, accelerates healing of injury, discomfort
and disease. It also promotes the healing of emotional and
spiritual issues, as well. After a session many report a heightened
awareness of new thoughts and understanding. A Reiki practitioner
must first be trained by a Reiki Master to both learn how
to channel the healing energy of the universe and unlock his
or her individual power. Once this is done, a practitioner
can perform Reiki on oneself. It also provides the practitioner
a gift and a tool that lasts throughout the lifetime.
Qigong
What is Qigong? Qigong (pronounced "chee gung")
is an ancient exercise and healing system. Originally an ancient
Chinese system of healthcare, it focuses on the Qi, or "chi,"
meaning "breath" and "energy," and "gong,"
meaning "exercise." The history of Qigong dates
back to, 500 B.C. It is the foundation of Tai Chi and martial
arts, combining the two disciplines to create what Garri Garripoli,
Qigong master, calls in his book "Qigong: Essence of
the Healing Dance," a "moving meditation."
Many benefits of Qigong are associated with the balancing
of the body with the mind and spirit. It has been proven to
increase immune function and decrease blood pressure. Moreover,
Qigong has helped eliminate chronic pain and can reduce stress.
It does this by breaking up blockages of energy that surround
the body.
How to do it? Qigong uses slow, controlled,
stretching-type movements which allow a person to connect
to their source. It does this through deep breathing and guided
breath work. Each person is unique and each must trust their
own body with this process. When performing Qigong, seek you
own unique "balance." Qigong has also become a low-cost
healthcare strategy in China. Its foundation is rooted in
the regulation of breath, therefore, attention is placed on
posture and relaxation of the mind. For Qigong videos check

I've given you in my book Spiritual Fitness: The 7-Steps to
Living Well.
Regardless of what you choose to believe about
chi, this much is true: Deep breathing and relaxation will
bring you balance and peace. Therefore, by using meditation,
Reiki, Qigong or a combination of all three, you can stimulate
the body to naturally connect to your inner nature and purify
your state of mind.
