Reiki
Allowing
energy to flow through people and directing the excess energy either to
ourselves or to others is the essence of Reiki. ‘Re’ means
‘universal’ and ‘ki’ means ‘vital like force’. Disease,
according to Reiki is caused by an energy imbalance, the depletion or
congestion of energy. The treatment in this system of medicine consists of
correcting this imbalance. Reiki is similar to Pranic healing, as it also
uses Prana or energy to affect a cure, but the techniques of Reiki vary from
Pranic healing. Here, the healer draws the Prana or energy through his or
her crown (chakra), and allow the energy to flow through the hands or the
chakra. The healer or therapist is the energy channel.
Chakra
therapy
Chakras
are centers of psychic energy located at points along the spinal cord. They
are associated with the five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether.
Each chakra corresponds to a specific mantra (sound) and geometric pattern (yantra).
Through meditation on these charkas we can gain mastery over our body and
each corresponding element.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture
is based on an ancient Chinese theory. This theory states that life force
flows through the human body via fourteen invisible channels regulating the
mental and physical processes. The ‘puncture’ in the word acupuncture,
refers to the insertion of tiny needles in specific points on the surface of
the body. The use of this therapy has been widely successful in easing
withdrawal from the addiction to drugs and alcohol, and is used in many
detoxification clinics in the
United States
. Although it has been practiced for many years as a method of traditional
healing, Indians have only recently started to embrace this method.
Acupressure
This
science deals with the human body and the flow of natural energy within the
body. It is practiced with the use of only one tool, the human thumb.
Pressure is applied on different pressure points on the body that stimulate
the corresponding glands of the body. It has been around for many years, and
flourishes in countries like
China
and
India
.
