Top 5 Reiki Principles

1) Just For Today, Have Peace and Harmony

Worry causes stress and anxiety, leading to an imbalance of the body, mind, and spirit and also blockage to the root chakra. Peace and harmony give beautiful healing. It has been proven through numerous studies that peace can create a good atmosphere for healing and balancing life, and also laughter can heal and in some cases prevent life threatening illnesses which keeps peace and harmony which are fundamental ethics of life. Use this knowledge to live a healthier and longer life.

2) Just For Today, Be Happy

Anger is an emotion. When we get angry, we lose control of that emotion. In order to live by the above principle, we must understand what triggers our anger and how we can choose to remove this destructive emotion from our being. Every time you meet someone, there is an exchange of energy. If you are both happy and find the meeting enjoyable, then the energy exchange is neutral. However, if you lose control of your emotions and become angry, the other person steals your energy. Likewise, if someone gets angry at you, then you are stealing their energy. So that happiness is the supreme power for a perfect life.

3) Just For Today, Do your Work Honestly

Honesty means different things to different people. Many people feel it is fine to take home a few pens from the office; the company turns over millions in profit each year, so they can afford to lose a few items of stationery. Everyone at some point is dishonest. You may not steal from another person or company, but instead steal from yourself. For example, if you have a talent to help people and you choose not to, then you are stealing from yourself by denying your gift.

4) Just For Today, Live with Attitude of Gratitude

Life tends to give us what we need; it may not be what we want, but it will be what we need. Karmically, throughout our lives, we receive what we need to grow and learn in this lifetime. If we grasp these lessons and grow accordingly, we will become spiritually enlightened. Instead of wasting your life complaining about the things that have happened to you and the problems you face. Step back for a moment regularly and discover and appreciate the many blessings in your life.

You will be amazed at how many wonderful things there are to give thanks for. Leave the materialistic things aside. They are shallow and meaningless. Pay attention to and focus on the free things and bring joy and humility to your life and develop the attitudes of beings. For example, your mind, body, spirit, health, family, friends, flowers, trees, sea, sun, love, faith, knowledge, the countryside, animals, birds, etc., the list is endless. So, do have good attitudes of gratitude to them.

5) Just For Today, Be Kind, Do Love and Respect to All

The law of karma states that what goes around comes around. Be kind, feel kind,, and get kindness. Send out love and you will receive love back in return.

Honor your parents, honor your teachers, honor your elders. Being Kind brings Love into the Will.

Karma is a two-edged sword. Send out negative thoughts, and you will get negative results. Living within this precept will give you a happier and less stressful life full of joy, peace, kindness, love, and respect for all.

Meaning of Om or AUM

OM or AUM is a mixture of sounds or vibrations. It is defined as a sacred sound of the Universe. It is the first sound of the creation. ‘A’ stands for Birth, ‘U’ stands for living, and ‘M’ stands for Death or Rebirth. AUM is the union, the atom is the union of Electron, Proton, and Neutron. AUM in Sanskrit is called ‘Anaahat Naad, ‘ which means a sound that is continuously produced without hitting the two. This is also known as soundless sound, which is called ‘Pranava’

When we chant AUM or OM means we are trying to tune up individual consciousness with supreme consciousness. Chanting Om is matching individual frequency with the supreme frequency. Once you become silent both body and mind, then you start hearing the sound of consciousness, which is nothing but bliss.

Yoga declares that once you realize OM, it will remove all sufferings of life. It declares the truth only after the experience. Yoga says that once you master AUM or Om, you are liberated.

Om Kaaram Pray

“Omkaaram Bindu Samyuktam, Nityam Dhyaanti Yoginah; Kaamadam Mokshadam chaiva, Omkaaraaya Namo Namah!!

Meaning: The symbol of AUM, united at a point on which Yogis meditate every day, it fulfills the desires and liberation, so we bow to that AUM.

“Tasya vaachakah pranavah”‘ PYS 1.27; that means the syllable ‘OM’ is its significator.

Om’ is Omnipresent. “Tajja pasted-artha-Bhagavatam” PYS 1.28; that means through the repetition, the meaning of Om comes to the meaning of life.

After true realization and experimental perception, Om is the ultimate goal or supreme goal for harmony and bliss when we constantly recite and meditate on AUM or OM.

What Is Panchakarma Treatment in Ayurveda?

Panchakarma is renowned as the king’s treatment of Ayurveda, a therapy designed to restore health and revive the entire being. Here are some of the core elements of a traditional Panchakarma treatment.

Panchakarma is the amazing Ayurvedic five-step treatment that balances the doshas, detoxifies the entire being, and rejuvenates the body, both internally and externally. Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that narrates ‘Panch-Five’ and ‘Karma-Treatment’. The therapy removes the ama accumulation in the body, cleanses it deeply, and reduces stress.

Panchakarma is an essential part of Ayurveda that helps us achieve a balanced state of the body, mind, and consciousness. The method involves body massages, oil baths, steam baths, and nasal administrations to treat the illnesses.

With a proper consultation from a certified Ayurvedic doctor or Panchakarma expert, the treatment is recommended.

Pre-Panchakarma Procedures

Panchakarma preparatory methods include oleation and fomentation therapies that help loosen up the toxins and then remove them from the body.

Snehana (Oleation) – In the therapy, herbal, dosha-specific oil is applied to the body, and a deep tissue massage is given. The medicinal oil reaches the deep layers of the skin and loosens up the ama accumulation in the tissues.

Swedana (Fomentation) – In this therapy, you will sweat out. The softened toxins become thinner and eventually get thrown out of the body.

How to Perform Pre-Panchakarma Treatment?

• Abhyanga- Medicated oil is applied to the body for massage.

• Pizhichil- Warm medicinal herbal oil is poured on the entire body, followed by a soft hand massage.

• Nasyam- A detox therapy through the nasal administration where drops of an herbal oil or medicinal extracts are poured into the nose.

• Podikizhi- A potli massage where potlis or bags are made from muslin cloth and are induced with rice, medicinal herbs, etc. The bag is then heated in warm herbal oil, and then the Potli is used for massage therapy.

• Kashaya Vasti- A decoction made of rock salt, herbal oil, honey, herbs, administered through the anal route for detoxification.

• Shirodhara- A stream of warm oil poured on the head region for 30-45 minutes.

Five Treatments in Panchakarma

Vamana

After the pre-panchakarma procedure, for a few days, when the toxins loosen up and gather in the body’s upper cavity, the Vamana is performed. In the therapy, an emetic medicine is given to the patients that induces vomiting and clears the toxins from the tissues. Best suited therapy for the Kapha people with ailments like asthma and obesity.

Virechanam

Purgation or Virechana is performed to flush out the ama from the Gallbladder and Liver. The toxins are eliminated from the body and cleanse the gastrointestinal tract. It is performed to cleanse the Pitta toxins. Works best for the Pitta people with ailments like colitis and jaundice.

Basti

Enema or Basti is used to cleanse all the Doshas through the colon and is considered the Mother of Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatment. A medicated herbal substance like oil, milk, herbal decoction, ghee, etc., is administered into the rectum for cleansing. The therapy is beneficial for curing many health conditions, especially chronic and complex ones.

Nasya

The therapy is used to cleanse the nose and head region where the Kapha toxins are gathered. In this therapy, a light massage and fomentation are given in the head and shoulder regions. Then, herbal nasal drops are poured into the nostrils that clear the entire head.

Rakta Moksha

It is a blood-cleaning Ayurveda technique that cures the diseases caused due to the impurities present in the blood. Rakta Moksha can be performed on the entire body or particular areas only after the recommendation of an expert. The treatment treats skin diseases like pigmentation, eczema and reduces the risk of infection as well.

Ayurveda is a vast science of preventing and healing ailments, and Panchakarma treatment is one major and most beneficial form of Ayurvedic treatment.

School of Traditional Yoga

Normally, most people think that yoga teacher training is something that you should only do if you were thinking of having a career as a teacher or were looking to deepen an already advanced practice. What people normally don’t know is that whatever level you practice at, a yoga teacher training course will have a profound effect on your life, not just your physicality. Here, you will learn why everyone should take a yoga teacher training course once in their lifetime. Reasons Are :

1. You will realize that yoga isn’t just about asanas. 

Normally, people who go to a 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training  Course come with the idea that they would work on asana practice and become better at Ashtanga or Vinyasa as a result. Whilst that was true, it was the discovery that yoga is a way of life, encompassing a set of practices and values that extend way beyond the physical class, that became the biggest learning. You discover that meditation, pranayama, and asanas work in total together with a set of life values (Yamas) and practices (Niyamas) to help you reach the ultimate goal of yoga – to find your true nature or goal.

2. You will gradually say goodbye to your ego.

If you are a regular practitioner of Yoga, then doing YTTC will help you boost up and become a successful teacher or person. Normally, people think they should do these asanas completely and forcefully. However, by the end of the course, this struggle will end, and you will greatly accept that what is important is that you work only with yourself and stop comparing and competing with others.

3. You will have a much happier relationship with your body.

You may have pushed your body doing physical exercise in your everyday lives. By focusing on the ritual of a daily practice led by experienced teachers, you will realize the full potential of its latent power. Whatever limitations or restrictions you think you may have, you will be given the chance to focus positively on everything your body has the potential to do, and it will amaze you.

4. You will reassess your entire life.

A yoga teacher training course gives you the space and time to step outside your daily routine and gain perspective on what you are doing in your everyday life. Many people turn up at yoga courses after a significant event in their lives has taken place – perhaps they have left or lost a job like I had, or a relationship has ended. By focusing on the daily ritual of asanas, meditation, pranayama (breathing), and the study of yoga philosophy, you will learn that you have the freedom to choose what path you take next in life, and it may not be what you thought it was.

5. You will realise how connected we are with nature.

Not only will you connect with other human beings profoundly, but you will start to see the creatures around you as part of the same network. Depending on where you do your yoga teacher training /TTC, you may find yourself surrounded by animals of different types. During training, you will feel your connection and relation with the creature. In Nepal, our tradition helps a lot in identifying our connection with each other.

The landscape you complete your training may also have a profound effect on your outlook on life. A mountain location may help you discover the vast beauty of the universe, and breathing in its pure air may help you to connect with it more efficiently. Normally, the environment that you felt during the training will help you boost up your self-care.

What is Chakra?

The word chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, though these are not like any wheels we’ve ever seen. Chakra energy spins in a clockwise direction as it moves the energy of our body out into the field around us. It spins counterclockwise to pull energy from our external world (and the people in it) into our bodies. It is the frequency state of our chakras that determines the direction our energy will flow as they either draw energy into our body or release it outward. Learn Chakra Healing.

We often see pictures and diagrams of chakras and energy centers running from the top of the head to the base of the body. Each chakra is said to have its own tone, which aligns closely with the range of singing bowls. There are many ways to interpret the relationship between tones and chakras and assign notes. Since I don’t have the sensitivity required to confirm any system, idea, or set of beliefs in this area, I don’t label singing bowls as chakra-specific.

Many systems can be found in various books from different teachers. Generally, lower tones correspond to lower chakras, while higher tones correspond to higher chakras. One of the most popular systems places the root chakra at C, with the next six notes in that octave aligning with the higher chakras. For this reason, the Chakra Sets listed in the bowl section follow this pattern. Keep in mind, however, that singing bowls are not like tuning forks, which are made to exact frequencies based on the Western music scale. Singing bowls are more versatile, and using them in chakra healing requires an open mind. When assembling a chakra singing bowl set, I focus on sound quality and the relationships between the bowls.

One limitation of the single-octave Chakra set is its relatively narrow range of sounds. To understand this, imagine how 7 adjacent white keys on a piano cover only a small portion of the total distance from left to right. Because of this, sound healing and chakra sets with both large (low tone) and small (high tone) singing bowls can spread notes across multiple octaves. If you’re interested in a healing set that spans multiple octaves, tap the blue Custom Sets button above for a tour of the process.

How to Use a Chakra Singing Bowl Set for Chakra Healing

Sound is vibration, and vibration transmits to the body through the air or directly through the skin. One common method is placing singing bowls on chakra points and ringing them, allowing the resonance to penetrate deeply. For practitioners who want to contact multiple chakras simultaneously, the best choices are the smaller Thadobati and thin Remuna bowls. These bowls are light enough not to disturb the body, small enough to place several at once, and have relatively flat bottoms for good contact. Manipuri bowls, with their rounded bottoms, can be more challenging to keep in place.

Sound healing based on the chakras can also be practiced by ringing bowls above or beside the client. Over-the-air vibrational transmission methods allow for the use of heavier and deeper-sounding bowls.
