Most people have lost everything at some point in their lives. “Everything” is different to everyone; it is totally relative. It may be health, wealth, career, relationship, material things, reputation, or so on…. I find this to be very pertinent in our city of L.A. where there is pressure to look the best and have all the best things.  People rise here quickly and fall just as quickly and often times, it is spread in the media for the world to see. And no matter how many excuses we make or people we blame, how much we seek understanding through spiritual or religious teachings, how much yoga we do, how much we work out, how much we shop or eat or drink or have sex, how many self-help books we read, or how much therapy we go to, we still just can’t get relief.  We are still suffering; we still have lost everything, have nothing, and don’t understand why.

 I am speaking from personal experience, and my hope is that in sharing it, it will help at least one person who is suffering, who can’t get out of bed, who can’t do anything but lie on the couch… Who just doesn’t understand and can’t snap out of it, no matter how hard he or she tries….

At one point not too long ago, I lost what to me was everything. I lost the job I had for 5 years, with no notice. I lost my credit because then I didn’t have money to pay any of my bills, I lost my pride because I had to move in with mother as a grown woman.  I lost a wonderful relationship with a spiritual, loving man because he doesn’t ever want to have children, and that is not something I can give up.  And I TRIED to see all of these things as blessings. Tried. Tried. Tried. Some days were better than others, but I fell into a deep depression because I never truly got WHY it happened…  Until I heard this from a mentor:  “If you lose everything, it’s because you had built it from your inauthentic self.”  Of course! All of those “things”- that money, that job, that relationship- were drawn in by someone I thought I should be. Not by who I truly am.  I was not living my truth. I kept that job for 5 years because I not only believed my own doubts, but I also believed all the people who told me that I could never make a living as a Holistic Healer. That I should settle for a stable job that didn’t challenge me, in an environment that didn’t honor me, because it would bring me security. I drew in a relationship with a man based on my fears of abandonment, not on my love. I was afraid he would leave so I spent a long time pretending children weren’t important to me.   I was not living from my truth. I was not living from my authentic self… so it HAD to all come crashing down. And thank goodness for that. Because who wants to build a life from a place of fear? Not me.  And you can bet that as soon as I learned this lesson, I became Fearless in living from my authentic place, wants, and dreams… and BOOM, the energy shifted and miracles happened.

I encourage you to look at what you have lost. Who were you when you attained what you eventually “lost?” Were you living from your authentic truth, or from fear?  Because, maybe, you didn’t really lose anything.

Reiki, which literally means “universally guided life force energy,” is a form of hands-on healing.  As science teaches us, everything is made up of electromagnetic fields.  A Reiki practitioner is able to sense, feel, and work with these electromagnetic fields in people in order to work with energy flow, or life force energy. Life force energy flows within the physical body though the electromagnetic fields. Life force energy nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force energy is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.

How does Reiki Heal?

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negativity is attached and where there are energy blockages.  This causes the blocked negative energy to break apart and fall away. Receiving Reiki therefore clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force energy to flow in a healthy and natural way.  Reiki releases old emotions and memories that may be stuck in the body’s energy field preventing the body to truly heal. This results in pain reduction, relaxation, and an overall feeling of well-being. Additionally, it works beautifully in conjunction with any form of medical or therapeutic treatment to relieve side effects of medication or surgery and promote recovery.

Reiki is useful and helpful in dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress,  headaches, chronic pain, painful periods, insomnia, and any sort of imbalance.

In order to decrease the chances for adverse reactions from either the seasonal flu shot or the swine flu shot, or if you begin to experience reactions after the shots, I suggest the following:

1) The homeopathic remedy Thuja 30c IMMEDIATELY after the vaccine, and every couple hours for the first 48 hours after the vaccine. This should be dissolved under the tongue, with nothing other than water in the mouth for 30 minutes before and after taking it. That means no food, gum, mint, drinks, toothpaste, other supplements, medications etc.

2) Protease. It is a digestive enzyme which cleans up toxins in the blood and the rest of the body. This needs to be taken on an empty stomach, which means 45 minutes before eating, and 2 hours after. The protease will ONLY work in cleaning up the vaccine’s toxins from the body if it is taken on an empty stomach. I suggest taking this a few times a day for a few days.

Be Well.

The main thing I want to emphasis is that flus come on very suddenly. Flus have a rapid onset of 3-6 hours, and hit very hard with sudden symptoms of high fever, aches and pains, whereas a cold tends to develop over a few days. Do not be alarmed if you come down with any of these symptoms; there IS help and hope! At first signs of either a cold or a flu, there are many natural steps including homeopathy, herbs, rest, and nutritional support that can be taken to greatly shorten their duration, magnitude, and discomfort.

The best prevention of these symptoms and colds and flus is, of course, precautionary. See my previous post about boosting you and your child’s immunity for swine flu and all flu prevention. The homeopathic protocol is tried and true and works effectively without ANY chemicals or foreign objects in it. It works by triggering the body’s own immune response and healing mechanism.  This protocol has been used successfully in my practice and by Homeopaths for many many years.

While the exposure to swine flu and other strains of the flu cannot be avoided, steps can be taken to prevent infection.  Things like washing your hands often, especially before touching your food, mouth, nose, or eyes, are common knowledge and help in the prevention. So too does taking Vitamin C and other supplements, getting enough rest, drinking enough water, and cutting back on sugar.  Most importantly in preventing infection after exposure, however, is making sure your immune system is functioning at its optimal level. If you are unsure how to get you or your child’s immune system functioning at its optimal level, please contact me, and I’d be happy to go over it with you.

With regards to the vaccination, here are my thoughts:  If you truly feel that you need it, I will not argue with you, go ahead.  My concerns are large, however, as the government is rushing to make huge quantities of vaccine while also rushing through safety trials. We have no idea the ill effects that this vaccine may cause. In fact, the Department of Health and Human Services has granted immunity to the makers of this and all future swine flu vaccines.  This shields the pharmaceutical company manufacturers from any and all liability for deaths or other side effects the vaccine may cause.  Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this H1N1 vaccine will actually prevent your infection of swine flu; NO VACCINE ever guarantees that prevention.

There are vaccine-free options to help boost you and your child’s immunity to the H1N1 swine and other strains of flu viruses.  Homeopathy offers a safe, preventative strategy which I, along with most practicing Homeopaths, have been using very successfully for years.  Because Homeopathy works by triggering the body’s healing mechanism, the homeopathic influenza immunity protocol, therefore, works to trigger the body’s over-all immunity to all strains of the flu virus, including the swine flu.  The protocol is very simple to follow.

 I had him lay on the table, fully clothed, face up, and asked him to just close his eyes.  After an hour of giving him a “hands-on” energy healing, I had to wake him up to tell him it was done. He sat up slowly, said he had fallen into a deep sleep, and that he did feel relaxed and rested upon waking. He said “thank you for trying, but as I said, I don’t believe in this stuff, “and was on his way.

Hank called me the following night to tell me that in 10 years he had never forgotten to take his pain killers… that the intense pain he felt in his body was a constant reminder to take it… and that for the first time in 10 years, he realized that he hadn’t taken his pain meds for 24 hours, and that he still wasn’t in any pain!  No meds, no pain… He was shocked.  In his words: “there must be something to this Reiki stuff.”

This is just one example of numerous cases from my private practice where relief has come so quickly, substantially, and significantly. Reiki and hands-on Energy Healing is a gentle, lasting, cost-effective way to help ease pain, stress, insomnia, and many other physical and emotional ailments.  In fact, it may be bad for business to say this, but learning how to give Reiki to yourself can save you potentially $1000’s in health care costs!  The process of learning Reiki yourself consists of an energy attunement given to you by a Reiki Master.  Once a person has been attuned to the Reiki energy, they have it for life. It never goes away.  And you are able to treat yourself for whatever is ailing you – pain, headaches, constipation, PMS cramps, stress, insomnia, and so forth.

I teach regular classes on learning how to do Reiki and energy healing for yourself and others.  In one class, you learn how to, and gain, the ability to use healing energy on yourself FOR LIFE!  Imagine a life with less pain, stress, anxiety, and discomfort for less effort and less cash!  I truly believe that each person deserves to feel good, be happy, and heal.   I am so passionate about using this technique and teaching people how to use this technique themselves because I see people’s lives change. I see the results.
