Get to Know Y O U R C H A K R A S
Chakras are energy centers in the body that play an important role in our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Understanding this mind-body energy system is essential for becoming the most vibrant, healthy, and radiant version of
yourself.
The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to “wheel” or “disk.” In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of life-giving energy – the vital force
that animates us and all living things.
Since everything in the mind-body energy system is moving, it’s essential that your seven main chakras stay open, aligned, and fluid. If there’s a blockage, the flow of energy is constricted –
like water forced to run through a narrow pipe. So it is too with our bodies and the chakras. The key to unblock, move, and transform your energy – so that you can reach your highest
mental, physical, and spiritual potential – is simple: awareness.

RELEASE YOUR FEARS
Located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae, the root chakra or Muladhara is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey.
Balancing the root chakra creates the solid foundation for opening the entire chakra system. Imagine that you’re laying the foundation for a house in which you’re going to live for a long time. A solid foundation embedded in firm soil will provide the stability you need to create a home filled with joy for years to come.
The first chakra is comprised of whatever grounds you to stability in your life. This includes your basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and safety, as well as your more emotional needs such as letting go of fear. When these needs are met, you feel grounded and safe, and tend to worry less day to day. IMBALANCES IN THE ROOT CHAKRA
If there is an imbalance in the root chakra, you may experience anxiety disorders, unfounded fears, or nightmares. Physical imbalances can manifest as problems in the colon, with the bladder, with elimination, or with lower back, leg, or feet issues. In men, prostate problems might occur. Eating disorders may also be a sign of a root chakra imbalance.

AWAKEN YOUR CREATIVITY
The second chakra, Svadhisthana, is also known as the creativity and sexual chakra. It is located above the pubic bone – below the navel – and encompasses the genital region and the hypogastric plexus.
The focus of the sacral chakra is creativity. As humans, it is part of our nature to create. When we use our creative energy – whether it is through cooking, baking, gardening, procreating, or even finding a new solution to an old problem – we are opening our second chakra. A balanced sacral chakra leads to feelings of wellness, abundance, pleasure, and joy. IMBALANCES IN THE SACRAL CHAKRA
When this chakra is out of balance, you may experience emotional instability, creative blocks, fear of change, sexual dysfunction, depression, or addictions.

THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA Heal the chakra that influences ego identity,
personal power, and ambition.

DISCOVER YOUR POWER
The third chakra is called Manipura, which means “lustrous gem.” Located around the navel in the area of the solar plexus and up to the breastbone, it is a source of personal power and governs self-esteem, warrior energy, and the power of transformation. The Manipura chakra also controls metabolism and digestion.
When you feel self-confident, have a strong sense of purpose, and are self-motivated, your third chakra is open and healthy. Having clear goals, desires, and intentions allows you to move forward and achieve them. Each small step you take while honoring the larger intention helps to strengthen your third chakra. You can harness the power of Manipura to assert your will in a healthy way and achieve any goal you set out to accomplish.
IMBALANCES IN THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
If your third chakra is out of balance, you can suffer from low self-esteem, have difficulty making decisions, and may have anger or control issues. The digestive fire, called Agni, is also present in the third chakra – weak digestion may indicate a blockage.

OPEN YOURSELF TO LOVE
The fourth chakra, also referred to as the heart chakra, is located at the center of the chest and includes the heart, cardiac plexus, thymus gland, lungs, and breasts. It also rules the lymphatic system.
The Sanskrit word for the fourth chakra is Anahata, which means “unstruck” or “unhurt.” The name implies that beneath the pains and grievances of past experiences lies a pure and spiritual place where no hurt exists. When your heart chakra is open, you are flowing with love and compassion, you are quick to forgive, and you accept others and yourself.
IMBALANCES IN THE HEART CHAKRA
A closed heart chakra can give way to grief, anger, jealousy, fear of betrayal, and hatred toward yourself and others. Physical imbalances may manifest as heart conditions, respiratory problems, or upper-back pain.

THE THROAT CHAKRA Heal the chakra that influences self-expression,
communication, and integrity.
How to Balance
SPEAK YOUR INNER TRUTH
In the area of the throat, the fifth chakra, or Vishuddha, governs the anatomical regions of the thyroid, parathyroid, jaw, neck, mouth, tongue, and larynx. To be open and aligned in the fifth chakra is to speak, listen, and express yourself from a higher form of communication. Faith and understanding combine the essence of the Vishuddha chakra.
Work on the lower chakras will help prepare you for this level of communication. For example, when you align the first and second chakras, it helps with overcoming fear. Opening the third chakra helps you to feel your personal power and have the confidence to express yourself. Knowing what’s in your heart comes when you align the fourth chakra. Then, when verbalizing your needs, desires, and opinions, you’re better able to determine how to be truthful to yourself and others.
IMBALANCES IN THE THROAT CHAKRA
If your throat chakra is out of balance, this may manifest as difficulty communicating and expressing your feelings, indecision, and mood swings. Thyroid problems, a sore throat or stiff neck, and tooth and gum issues may also be a sign of fifth chakra imbalance.

THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA Heal the chakra that influences self-reflection,
intuition, and clarity of sight.
How to Balance
TRUST YOUR INTUITION
The sixth chakra, Ajna, is in the area of the third eye, which is found in the space between the eyebrows. It encompasses the pituitary gland, eyes, head, and lower part of the brain. A spiritual chakra which means “beyond wisdom,” this is your center of intuition. Ajna leads you to an inner knowledge that will guide you if you let it. An open sixth chakra can enable expanded imagination, visualization, clairvoyance, telepathy, and lucid dreaming.
Your intuition is like a “sixth sense” that grows stronger as you open your third eye, something you can look to for guidance in making the right decisions. With a blocked sixth chakra, only the mind, intellect, and ego are used in the decision-making process. When the third eye is open, however, the soul becomes involved as well. Pay attention to a hunch or a subtle feeling of moving forward or holding back. If you are conflicted, ask for your sense of intuition to be opened in order to help you make the right choice.
IMBALANCES IN THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA
If there is an imbalance in the sixth chakra you may experience poor intuition, lack of concentration, impaired judgment, confusion, or depression. Physical imbalances may manifest as headaches, trouble sleeping, or nightmares.

THE CROWN CHAKRA Heal the chakra that influences self-knowledge,
spirituality, and connection to the divine.
How to Balance
CONNECT TO THE DIVINE
The seventh chakra, Sahaswara, is referred to as the thousand-petal lotus chakra. Of the seven main chakras, this one is highest on the body, located at the crown of the head. Sahaswara is our source of enlightenment and spiritual connection to our higher selves, to every being on the planet, and ultimately to the divine energy that creates everything in the universe.
While many of us have the demands of daily living and the busy minds that accompany these demands, reaching enlightenment may not be as far off as it appears. Practicing meditation, prayer, or daily silence are disciplines that lead to increased moments of spiritual connection. Once you’ve established a daily practice of these activities that connect you to universal consciousness, you will see expansion of spiritual awareness in your outer world. You will begin to experience unconditional love on a consistent basis. You will be more compassionate, kind, and forgiving, and show more humility. Life will become less about you and more about serving others because when you serve others, you are serving yourself.
IMBALANCES IN THE CROWN CHAKRA
A closed crown chakra can lead to lack of inspiration, aimlessness, feelings of loneliness, excessive materialism, lack of spiritual connections, and difficulty meditating. Physical imbalances may manifest as exhaustion, sensitivity to light and sounds, poor sleep habits, or migraines and tension headaches.

Foreword
Looked upon as a mysterious practice, reiki originated from
Japan, around 1922. Started by a Japanese Buddhist, this
practice of purported healing basically uses the palm of an
individual to emit positive healing energy unto the patient.
Sometimes reiki is referred to as oriental style treatment by
professional medical bodies.

Chapter 1:
Introduction To Reiki
Synopsis
Divided into two loosely termed branches reiki is sometimes
known as Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki.
- 6 -
The Basics
Generally categorized into three main stages of expertise,
such as first degree, second degree, and third degree, a reiki
practitioner is able to heal himself or herself and also others.
The second degree practitioner had the ability to heal others
from a distance, also known as distance healing. The third
and highest degree is the ultimate level where the
practitioner is now thoroughly well versed and equipped with
the necessary knowledge and skill to teach and attune
others to the practice of reiki.
Simply put, reiki is a form of healing using the holistic
concept without the use of medications of any sort. The reiki
practitioner typically places his or her hands over the
individual needing the healing. The belief is that the positive
energy is then drawn by the recipient to enhance the natural
healing processes. There are even some seemingly bizarre
claims that the healing energy is self seeking and can “zero”
in on the injury to commence the healing process.
The dominant factor in reiki is the positive energy it is
purported to emit for healing purposes. As the energy of the
practitioner is expected to be at optimum levels and of
course ideally positive, there are certain requirements a
successful reiki practitioner needs to follow. Keeping the
body and mind as pure as possible is one of the
prerequisites.
- 7 -
Some people believe the Japanese reiki is more focus and
intuitive to specific areas that need the healing, as opposed
to the western reiki style that generally treats the whole
body.
Chapter 2:
Learning About Reiki
Synopsis
Though reiki has been around for some time, it is only in
recent times it is slowly becoming a viable alternative to
seeking conventional medical treatments. Learning or
acquiring this art form does not require extensive intellectual
capacities, nor does it require years of study to master. The
beauty of reiki is that it is so accessible that the tenants can
be passed on from teacher to student without much
discrimination.
- 8 -
Getting Schooled
Achieving the purest and clearest mind set is the basis of
reiki because the energy needed to make a successful
transfer to another individual for healing purposes consists
of positive energy. Some people even connect this to being
one with body and mind which yet some others say has a
certain connection directly to God.
Some people who have taken this art form very seriously
attest to having psychic sensitivity. Some even claim to
have the “third eye” capabilities, increased awareness of the
surroundings even to its molecular levels.
All these serve practically when addressing one’s general
health issues. The ability to harness this positive energy
translates to the ability to heal and be healed. People who
don’t want to go through extensive western style medical
processes sometimes find miraculous results when reiki is
- 9 -
practiced. Reiki is an element that once learnt and mastered
stays with the individual for life. It is not something that can
be forgotten easily.
The successful practice of reiki affects the body, mind, and
emotions. As toxins that are stored in the body system over
time are often attributed to causing much negativity in the
body, practicing reiki enables the release process to begin,
using positive energy. Understanding the seriousness of
negative energy impacts, enables reiki to be an effective
means of gaining optimum health conditions.
However to successfully practice reiki, one has to be
prepared to make certain lifestyle changes. These
requirements all have beneficial qualities.
- 10 -
Chapter 3:
Reiki's Negative Side
Synopsis
As with anything in life, there are always good and bad
sides. Reiki proves to be no different. Making the decision to
embark on the process of acquiring reiki skills takes time
and effort. A certain amount of commitment and
perseverance is expected which is sometimes difficult to
muster in this “instant gratification” expectations of today’s
society.
- 11 -
What To Watch For
To ensure the potential reiki practitioner is able to garner
positive energy, certain sacrifices needs to be made.
Refraining from consuming meat, fowl or fish a few days
before attempting a reiki session is a prerequisite.
As purity is the ultimate goal when practicing reiki,
consuming food and drink items that contain drug,
pesticides, toxins and other negative ingredients are
strongly forbidden. These negative elements cause the body
system to be thrown off balance and so disrupting the
smooth flow of positive energy.
Going on a water of just juice fast is encouraged. Minimizing
caffeine intake or cutting it out altogether is also required.
These elements also create imbalance in the nervous and
endocrine system. Other things to avoid at least three days
before practicing a reiki session are alcohol, sweets, and
smoking.
Keeping a quiet and peaceful lifestyle is also encouraged,
however this may prove to be difficult in the fast pace
surroundings of everyday life. Reducing exposure to outside
negative elements is also necessary, thus watching TV,
- 12 -
listening to unsettling music and reading distressing news
are all discouraged.
Keeping away from all other negative mental states, like,
anger, fear, jealousy, hate, worry are important, as these
emotions can block a person from achieving a successful
reiki session.
In some extreme cases, reiki practitioners tend to ostracize
themselves from others, simply because they consider those
around them “contaminated” and full of negative energy,
which they don’t want to be connected to.
- 13 -
Chapter 4:
Considering Reiki For Health
Synopsis
Finding out one is suffering from a certain disease can be
frightening. Then to be bombarded with a lot of procedures
and processors add to the already stressful state. Besides all
this, having to choose from the various options available for
the treatment of the said health problems can be quite
confusing to say the least.
- 14 -
A Mind Opener
When an easy and non invasive option is available, coupled
with the possible health recovery tag, most people are keen
to explore these avenues of healing. However embarking on
the reiki style of treatment, should never be at the expense
of discontinuing all other current medications, or other
ongoing medical procedures.
Reiki is a holistic style of treatment which is meant at its
early stage to compliment any preexisting treatment the
patient may be undergoing. The reiki element is meant to
work with the positive energy derived to combat any
preexisting negatives in the body system. As reiki energy is
meant to be dispersed according to the particular area
needing the positive energy, prior diagnoses or prescriptions
are unnecessary. Besides being unnecessary it is also
unethical to make any such recommendations.
People is severe medical conditions have made claims of a
certain percentage of success after using reiki as an added
and complimenting healing feature. The positive energy
emitted from the reiki practitioner unto the recipient is often
noted as very calming and helpful. With this positive energy
flowing through the recipient’s body some of the medically
impaired elements can be eradicated to a certain extent. If
continued for a longer period of time, if is even possible to
eradicate the ailment altogether.
- 15 -
For an individual that takes his or her health for granted and
does not really take precautions to keep a healthy diet and
lifestyle, taking up reiki can be the turning point to a better
understanding of the importance of good health and mind
conditions.
Chapter 5:
Solving Problems The Reiki Way
Synopsis
Almost everyone who has had some encounters with the
reiki world of positive energy practices sings its praises.
Touted to be a beautiful and calming practice, many believe
it is one art form the world at large can benefit from being
exposed to it.
- 16 -
The Benefits
Most diseases, mind conditions and even the abuse of the
environment has been linked to the negative elements at
one time or another. The practice of reiki, can to some
extent eliminate this negative aspect or energy, and replace
it with positive energy.
Reiki’s positive energy addresses the mind, body, and
surroundings that connect it altogether one way or another.
When reiki is used to address the mind, elements like the
thought process, can be tuned to only consist of positive
thoughts.
When the state of mind is trained to always be positive, a lot
of good can be achieved and even transcend into the
surroundings. Besides the thought process, the reiki style of
- 17 -
transferring positive energy unto another can help create a
better state of actual mental health. Headaches, migraines,
stress, and other brain related problems can be successfully
addressed with the positive energy of reiki.
Considered to be relatively “free”, reiki art of transferring
positive energy also works when applied to address ailments
in the body. This positive reiki energy is used to flush out
any negative energy which may be contributing to the ill
health of the individual.
Reiki’s positive energy transfer does not involve any amount
of pain or discomfort. In fact most people have attested to
experiencing a comforting warm feeling which in some cases
causes such relaxation that dozing off during a session is not
unusual.
Reiki has also been known for its distance healing abilities.
This unusual feature is another advantage to those seeking
this type of healing to compliment an ongoing medicinal
regiment. An experienced reiki practitioner can transfer
positive energy through quiet meditation quite successfully.

Chapter 6:
More Advantages Of Reiki
Synopsis
Reiki is an ancient form of harnessing positive energy from
one source and transferring it on to another, for healing
purposes.
Practicing reiki brings many advantages into an individual’s
life. The more popularly and common benefits from
practicing reiki are; relief from mental and physical stress,
relaxation, comfort in body and mind and surroundings and
peace, to name a few.
- 20 -
A Few More Advantages
There are also other little known advantages to practicing
reiki, though none any less beneficial. Some reiki
practitioners practice this art form to induce spiritual clarity.
In offering the relief needed during emotional distress and
sorrow, reiki helps one be more connected to the center of
one’s spirituality, thus preventing the state of mind and
body to feel totally drained.
Reiki also works to relief pain while improving the general
blood circulation throughout the body. In doing so, reiki can
also contribute to hastening the stoppage of small bleeding
wounds. Some reiki practitioners also attest to the benefits
of the cleansing element reiki can effect in the liver, arteries,
spleen, gall bladder, and lungs. There are many other
illnesses or ailment the reiki has been found to play a
positive role when introduced as a complimenting therapy to
ongoing medical procedures or medications. Some of these
medical conditions have to be endured with considerable
pain before reiki was introduced, to bring the much needed
relief, at least from the pain enduring angle.
Some medical conditions are generally linked to some kind
of imbalance and reiki has also made positive in road in the
area. Medical conditions such as chronic and acute nose
bleeds, chronic insomnia, depression, menopause to name a
few are where reiki has been a positive benefit.
- 21 -
Reiki has also been known to be used to speed up the
recovery process after surgery. The positive energy
transference helps to bring about a positive and quick
recovery, without the use of further adding on any
medications.
Chapter 7:
Using Reiki Effectively
Synopsis
When undergoing treatment for a particular medical
condition, the individual often has to contend with various
other negative elements.
These added negative elements further stress the mind and
body of the individual and may sometimes cause other
complications or at best a slower recovery rate.
- 22 -
Putting It Into Action
Some people have found that by adding the use of reiki to
their ongoing medical regiment, positive results have been
noticed. Such noticeably positive results range from faster
recovery to actually cutting down on some medication that
are no longer needed to treat the medical condition due to
the positive energy garnered from reiki.
Ideally reiki should be practiced for a reasonable amount of
time before some positive results can be expected. In doing
so, one can also feel the changes in other areas, such as the
new mental capabilities brought on by the positive energy.
In order to benefit from reiki effectively, the exercise of
transferring positive energy must be done with the
recipient’s cooperation and wiliness to explore this style of
- 23 -
healing. A positive mind set is almost a prerequisite to the
success of a reiki exercise.
Many scientific researchers today are willing to acknowledge
the power in positive energy, when it used for its healing
potential. Scientists are often a skeptical bunch, and for this
sort of acknowledgment to be forth coming, proves that reiki
can be a beneficial tool in helping the healing process. Some
even go as far as to say the positive element is permanently
contained in every individual and learning to tap into this
energy has a high potential in guarding one’s health.
The best way to use reiki for the purpose of healing or
simply to gain a holistically healthy state of body and mind
is to experience the process itself. As there are no known
side effects, reiki is considered a safe endeavor, to embark
upon.
Chapter 8:
Other Treatment Benefits Of Reiki
Synopsis
Everyday there are new discoveries in the medical field.
Some encouraging while other aren’t. Yet others may be
quite costly to even consider, so when a discovery like reiki
- 24 -
comes to light it can be a blessing to many needing this type
of promising relief.
Additional Discoveries
Though reiki has been around for a long time and practiced
successfully in many ancient cultures, mostly Asian, it is fast
gaining popularity with the younger set of people.
- 25 -
Some athletes have opted to use this method of healing to
compliment their ongoing medical treatments with
astounding results.
Using the positive energy the reiki style of treatment is
based on, to counter act the negative elements of an injury,
the healing process of many athletes today have taken on a
faster pace.
Adding to this surprisingly faster healing time frame is the
“better than before” condition of the injury affected area.
Some new break-throughs have also been made, with the
usage of reiki in areas where the Aids disease has caused
untold misery to many individuals.
This promising state of using reiki as the positive energy to
combat all the negative elements brought on by the Aids
disease is encouraging many people to try out reiki.
Distance healing using the reiki technique is another
effective way of healing an ailment. As it is not always
convenient or even possible to be by a patient’s side for
various reasons, opting to use reiki is not only currently
widely practiced but also touted to be just as effective in
providing the much need relief and healing.
- 26 -
Some people, who have practiced reiki for long periods of
time, have even been documented to be promoting this style
of healing for pets.
In trying to seek the best treatment for the beloved pet,
some individuals have turned to reiki for its non invasive and
gentle style of treatment. There are many reported cases of
success as this style does not further stress the already
unwell pet.
- 27 -
Chapter 9:
What To Look For When Choosing Reiki
Synopsis
If one is in the midst of making the decision to embark upon
the reiki experience if would be prudent to first find out as
much as possible about this art form.
- 28 -
Things To Consider
Some of the areas suggested, to be looked into before
making the relevant choices like where, when, who etc….are
as follows:
• Reiki benefits
• Treatment process
• Reiki credentials
• Treatment rates – if any
• Reiki training
• Reiki workshops and testimonial
• Credited reiki practitioners
• Possible tools and materials
When doing the necessary research it should be noted that
surfing the net for the specific needs takes time and
patience. When it comes to the subject of reiki, there is not
only a lot of information available but some of this
information can be quite contradictory.
The contradiction arises from the different ideas and
philosophies involved in the research and practice of this art
- 29 -
form. Though confusing at times, the various testimonial
available for perusal can help make an informed decision.
Using the internet to help locate the nearest suitable centre,
group or society practicing reiki is also a good idea. Several
reading material can also be sourced to provide information
about the reiki art form of healing and holistic approach to
the body and mind.
However it should be noted that this particular art form can
sometimes be quite individualistic. Many people have
successfully practiced the art of reiki on themselves.
The reiki style makes it possible to use this art form to treat
the body and mind without necessarily having the angel of
healing in mind. Reiki can just be used individually to create
a positive atmosphere for the enjoyment and comfort within
one’s own privacy.

Chapter 10:
The Pitfalls Of Not Using Reiki
Synopsis
Most illnesses or ailments today require some form of
invasive medical attention. When an individual first discovers
the presence of a possible negative health condition, the
anxiety levels of the individual is bound to be taken to the
limit.
Thus any introduction of a non invasive alternative or
complimenting treatment or therapy can be very comforting.
- 32 -
What You Could Be Missing
Being a practice of transferring positive energy into a
negative environment, reiki provides the necessary leverage
often needed to combat a negative state of health which is
causing or has caused the presence of a disease.
In not exploring the possibility of using reiki for treatment of
health conditions, a great loss of possible recovery or
arresting of the medical condition cannot be realized. Reiki
not only helps in the physical healing process but it also
helps in the mental state of mind.
A lot of medical problems seemingly starts or is attributed to
the state of mind of an individual, thus by using reiki the
first step in combating the ailment, or illness can commence.
As reiki can be performed on oneself, reiki can also be
practiced regularly to eventually bring about a positive
outlook in life. With a better mental state of mind, which
contributes to a positive outlook the quality of life enjoyed
by the individual can be very rewarding indeed.
Although not much research has been done to create
conclusive evidence, some sources have attested to the
overall positive experience during pregnancy when reiki is
practiced. This deduction is made simply on the basis of
having a lot of positive energy both in body and mind
through the practice of reiki. Because of this said positive
energy which surrounds the expectant mother, the condition
- 33 -
and well being of the baby is also assured. Happier and
healthier babies are the positive by product of practicing the
reiki art form.
Wrapping Up
You might have turned to the yellow pages of your
phonebook in search of a Reiki practitioner in your
community. Nevertheless, very few practitioners advertise
their services utilizing this media. Reiki practitioners work
out of clinics, hospitals, spas, and home businesses.
A few practitioners supply house-calls, traveling to your
location to present treatments. Check into message board
postings in natural grocery stores, metaphysical stores, yoga
classes, community colleges, and so forth. Reiki practitioners
frequently rely on word of mouth from their regular
customers in attracting new ones.
There are a lot of different types of Reiki systems, so make
sure to ask any questions you might have about a
practitioner’s services before you book a session.

What Is Spiritual Healing?
Spiritual healing is the ability of your mind and soul to repair your ailments.
These ailments are not limited mere physical wounds, but can also relate to
mental illness and self esteem issues. Many modern day physicians invoke the
idea of spiritual healing along with western medicine as a means to promote
the health of their patients.
The belief that a healthy mind equals a healthy body is not new to anyone.
However, the idea that a positive spiritual existence might heal the body is
sometimes misunderstood.
But, those who carefully examine their own lives can probably see where their
mental state inflicts harm on their physical health. An easy example is the
“when it rains it pours” syndrome. Just when everything seems to be going
poorly some people find that they wind up physically sick. It is hard to believe
that the two are not in some way connected. The same can be said for working
things in reverse. Start feeling positive and having a more balanced energy
and physical illness can also dissipate.
Spiritual healing is often associated with religion and faith healing. There are
many religions, including Christianity, that believe strongly in the power of
prayer to heal illness. The belief in divine intervention has been widely
documented. The laying of hands or other religious rituals are claimed to heal
everything from cancer to blindness. This is not the same as spiritually healing
your soul so that your body can be more healthy.
True spiritual healing requires work on ones self. It requires you to figure out
how to get your body and energy into focused balance. There may be relation
to the belief in a higher power along with meditation, but in this context it is
not specifically about divine intervention.

History of Spiritual Healing
Spiritual healing has been around for ages. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks
went to their priest-physicians when they needed help. One of the most
famous pf these priest-physicians was Hippocrates, who brought standards to
medical practices around 400 BC. He believed that they best approach to a
diagnosis included observing nature, life, and a natural healing process.
Today medical doctors still take the Hippocratic oath when they become
physicians.
North American Spiritual Healing History
In America most people are familiar with the idea of an Indian Medicine Man.
Some Hollywood depictions paint a caricature of the actual practices used by
indigenous American people. Native Americans believe that any healing
process should be completely holistic.
Sometimes their rituals involved entire families if not the whole community.
They analyzed dreams and stressed ridding the body of toxins through special
baths, fasting, and the use of herbs. They also prayed to their higher powers
through music, chant, drumming, and dance. Native Americans believe in
healing a person, not necessarily a disease.
The traditional Medicine Man, or Woman, as the case often was, watched the
goings on in their environment. They observed the animal life, birds, climate,
and other actions or changes to determine whether the future would be
successful or difficult.
The Maya Indians used the sun cycles, moon cycles, eclipses, and the
movement of Venus to plan their lives. They prayed for protection from evil
in themselves and in their community. They believed that everything, even
vegetation and minerals had a life force. They respected animals and only
killed them for food, then asking for the spirit of the animal to be returned to
the animal kingdom.

Sweat Lodges
Sweat lodges or medicine lodges have gained certain notoriety due to an
incident in Arizona where several people died in a non-Native American
sweat lodge. The Lakota Nation has actually filed suit against the owners of
that lodge for desecrating their beliefs and violating peace between Americans
and the Lakota nation for using a sweat lodge improperly.
In Native American culture these lodges are used to promote health and
community among their people. These lodges are tent type structures or dug
out of the ground with planks for tops. They use heated rocks to provide heat
within the structure. Sometimes the orientation of a lodge directs it toward a
specific spirit. Often they face East with a sacred fire burning just outside of
the lodge. These lodges are sacred to the Native American people. The ritual
includes either silence or chanting along with offerings and prayer.
Medicine Men or Women will be in charge of the sweat lodge, the purpose of
sweating is to drive out negative spirits from the body. There is also a raised
state of consciousness that comes with the rise in body temperature. This
allows participants to reach the spirit world on a personal level. It is in this
context that true healing is said to begin. The Native Americans do not mix
the sexes in their sweats nor do they attend in the nude. This is in contrast to
some new age sweats, and is in keeping with their traditional sacred nature.
Many Native American Spiritual healing practices were outlawed until 1978.
At that time the American Indian Religious Freedom Act was passed allowing
activities and rituals to again be practiced. There have been difficulties as
some of the land once used to consecrate their rituals now serves other
purposes. However, in the Native American or American Indian medical
system the use of traditional practices and rituals is still sometimes used.

Shamanism
Shamanism is a range of beliefs or practices that involve communication with
the spirit world. The Shaman is known as the practitioner of said craft.
The Shaman is able to:
Treat illness and serve as healers.
Enter supernatural realms to receive answers to problems within their
community.
Be the intermediary between the human and the spirit world.
Lead a sacrifice.
Tell stories or songs to preserve their tradition.
Tell fortunes.
Although there are many differences in the different beliefs that comprise
Shamanism there are some common threads shared by all. Shamanism itself is
made up of the idea that the world is pervaded by forces that are invisible by
that affect the living.
They believe that the cause of a disease is in the spiritual realm such as evil
spirits or witchcraft. They use both spiritual and physical systems to heal these
ailments. The Shaman will confront the spirit that is causing illness by
entering into the sick persons body. They banish the infectious spirit and
bring healing to their patient. They are also experts in plant life and will
prescribe herbs for treatment.
In the modern communities the belief in Shamanism has grown. It reflects a
path to knowledge rather then a specific faith. It is a belief instead of the
reality of spirits, not necessarily reflected in particular cultural group. They
believe in what is called the axis mundi or a pathway between heaven and
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 8
earth for the sole purpose of spiritual contacts. The term ecstasy is used to
refer to the wholeness that is created when these spirits are reached. It is a
personal quest for inner power and knowledge. A practitioner of Shamanism
can live in both the real world and the spirit world, having achieved balance.
Those who have reached this point of balance say they feel more comfortable
with themselves and the world around them. Obstacles that had previously
stood in the way of their achievements are removed. Those who are ill have
new energy that heals them.
Westernized shamans will use spiritual extraction, past life regression therapy,
and hypnosis to reach the spiritual balance that provides healing.
Shamanism has been called into question as an occult because of the practice
of channeling spirits that take the form of animals. Some of the plants that are
used have hallucinogenic properties which also promote the belief that it is of
the occult. In North America, notably among the Navajo the use of Peyote
produces this effect. This is considered an altered state of consciousness. This
state leads to self discovery, knowledge, and healing. Other plants used in
ritual are tobacco, fly agaric, and psychedelic mushrooms.

Page 9
Altered Mental State Healing
Altered mental state healing encompasses many forms of spiritual healing. It
is not limited to the type mentioned in Shamanism which concerns itself with
the use of hallucinogenic substances. However, the spiritual practice of using
chemicals to reach a higher spiritual plain is well documented in Shamanism
and other forms of occult. The use of meditation can also produce a altered
mental state which allows people to get in touch with the spirit world.
One of the ways this is accomplished is through dance and music. Many
churches, including the Catholic church permit charismatic services. In these
services members of the church often find themselves in a state of ecstasy
where they speak in tongues, experience automatic writing jags, and even pass
out as they are overtaken by the spirit. These masses are often held in the
evening and kept rather quiet so as not to draw attention to itself as a version
of the occult. However, it just proves that an altered mental state can be
reached in the absences of chemicals in what might be considered a “normal
setting.”
Many psychologists adhere to a sort of self hypnosis that aids patients in the
healing process. They start by telling themselves that they are not sick or that
they do not feel bad. The idea is that the mind will connect with the body and
in fact heal itself.

Yoga
With origins in India, Yoga is the practice of traditional physical and mental
disciplines associated with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is believed to
date back to 900 BCE among figures found in classic Yoga poses.
Yoga is probably the most widely known and easily accepted forms of
spiritual healing. Yoga classes are held at virtually every health club and often
at churches and community centers. The process of meditation and stretching
that occurs when one does Yoga is accepted as at the very least helpful in
maintaining ones health. It is far more then just a stretching class.
Yoga is a way of life and a way of looking at the world. It is about creating
balance in your body through the development of both strength and flexibility.
There are certain poses that promote certain physical benefits. They can be
done in together quickly or slowly more geared to the perfect alignment of the
pose.
The idea of achieving a healthy and fulfilling life comes from achieving the
eight limbs or philosophies of Yoga. The limbs build upon each other with
only one actually involving a Yoga pose.
The Eight Limbs of Yoga
1. Yama - The five abstentions are non-violence, non-lying, non-
covetousness, non-sensuality, and non-possessiveness.
2. Niyama - The five observances are purity, contentment, austerity, study,
and surrender to god.
3. Asana - This literally means seat and refers to the seated position which
is used for meditation.
4. Pranayama - Suspending breath, to control the life force.
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 11
5. Pratyahara - Meaning abstraction or the withdrawal of the sense organs
from external objects.
6. Dharana - Concentration or fixing ones attention on a single object.
7. Dhyana - The intense contemplation of the nature of the object of
meditation.
8. Samadhi -The act of merging consciousness with the object of
meditation.
As you can see by the eight limbs there is far more to Yoga then poses. It is
actually about a combination of exercise, breathing, and meditation as a
means to promote better health. Breathing is the source of life so once one has
learned to control and increase their breathing they can then fully meditate.
Meditation is not a state of mental blankness, but rather a quiet and reflective
mind. This state allows one to reach a higher state of mind and relieve
themselves of everyday stresses thereby healing the mind and, in turn, the
body.
Once a higher state of mind has been reached stretching poses can help to
relieve tension and illness in the body. Yoga is used to treat what you would
expect body aches and pains, but also some things you might not expect like
arthritis and asthma.
Illnesses treated with Yoga include:
Sour stomach
Bronchitis
Cancer
Constipation
Diabetes

Depression
Headache
High Blood Pressure
Menstrual Cramps
Migraines
Rheumatism
Sciatic Pain
Sexual debility
Sinus
Obesity
Keep in mind that Yoga is used to treat, not necessarily cure, the above
mentioned ailments.
Yoga postures are the process of stretching and then balancing your body in a
specific pose. By breathing through these poses one can achieve balance
between mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga Poses
Downward Facing Dog - This position build strength, flexibility, and
awareness. It stretches your spine and hamstrings and allows your heart to
rest. To accomplish this pose you will need to be on your hands and knees
with your wrists below your shoulders and your knees under your hips. You
will slowly curl your toes back and push your hips up straightening your legs
and arms with your feet and hands pressed to the floor. Your head should
hang loose from your shoulders and neck facing down.
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 13
Extended Side Angle Pose - In this pose you will strengthen and stretch your
legs, groin, and hamstrings. It also opens your chest and shoulders. To reach
this pose your left heel should be down on the floor with your leg spread so
the right knee is bent so the calf and thigh are at a right angle and parallel to
the floor. Your right hand goes inside your right foot and your left arm
reaches to the ceiling. Your face should reach up with your right hand. Once
you achieve balance with this pose you should repeat it on the other side.
Garland Pose - This pose opens up your groin and hips. To accomplish this
position you will stand with your feet a mat’s width apart. Then you bend to
your knees in a squat keeping your feet parallel. Your upper arms go inside
your knees and your elbows bend bringing your palms together in the prayer
position. If you can bring your hands to your heart and open your knees a bit.
Relax your shoulders and keep your spine straight. Remain in this position for
five breaths and then straighten your legs to come out of the pose.
Lotus Pose - This advanced pose is a Yoga classic that opens your hips. To
accomplish this pose one should sit then bend your right knee and bring your
right ankle to the left hip crease with the sole of your foot facing upward.
Then do the same with your left foot, bringing it up to your right hip crease
and turning the sole upward.
Standing Forward Bend - This stretch rests your heart and neck while it
relaxes your mind and body. At the same time it stretches your legs and spine.
This stretch requires you to stand with your feet nestled next to each other,
then swan dive your arms out to the side while folding forward. Be sure to
fold at your hips making the hip creases deep and not at your back. Bring your
fingertips to your toes and press your palms flat to the floor. Engage your
quads, lifting your kneecaps. Your weight should be held slightly forward to
the balls of your feet so that your hips remain over your ankles. Let your head
hang loose.

and turning your toes out 45 degrees from your heel. Bend your right knee
directly over your right ankle forming a right angle with the calf and thigh.
Bring your right hip back and your left hip forward so your hips are square
toward the front. Bring your arms out to the side then up touching your palms
together and facing up toward your thumbs, doing a slight backbend. Slide
your shoulder blades down your back. Repeat on the other side.
Cobblers Pose - This pose also opens your groin and hips. This sitting pose is
accomplished by bending your knees so that the soles of your feet are
together, letting your knees fall out to the sides. Maintain a long spine and
press the outer edges of your feet together firmly.
Half Lord of the Fishes Pose - This pose is said to cleanse your organs. It
also opens your shoulders and hops and stretches your spine.
Child’s Pose - This pose can help ease back pain while it gently stretches
your hips, thighs, and ankles. From Downward Dog drop your knees to the
floor and spread them as wide as your mat, keeping your big toes touching.
Bring your belly to rest between your thighs and place your forehead on the
floor. You can either stretch your arms out in front of you with your palms on
the floor or bring them alongside your thighs with the palms facing up.
Happy Baby Pose - A pose like this also opens your hips and groin. To do
this pose lie flat on your back. Bend your knees into your chest. Bend the
knees and bring them toward your armpits. Each ankle should be stacked over
the knee so that your shins are perpendicular to the floor. Flex your feet then
hold the outer edges of them and draw your knees to the floor.
Plank - The plank promotes arm and core balance and strength. The Plank is
reached from the Downward Dog pose by drawing your torso forward so the
shoulders are over your wrists. Your entire body should be in one straight line,
much like a push up position. Your forearms and hands should be firmly
pressed to the ground, do not allow your chest to sink and press back through
your heels. Keep your neck lined up with your spine and your shoulders broad
as you balance in this position.

Bridge - This pose strengthens your lower back and abdominal muscles. It
also opens your chest and increases flexibility. This backbend position is
reached by bending the knees and bringing the soles of your feet parallel to
the mat and close to your buttocks.
Lift your hips up toward the ceiling and lace your fingers behind your back,
straightening your arms and pressing them down to the mat. Roll one shoulder
under and then roll the other shoulder under. Lift your hips further and draw
your chest toward your chin with out moving your chin to the chest. Keep
your feet parallel and release your hands slowly bringing your upper, then
middle, then lower back down to the floor.
Mountain - This will improve posture, self awareness, and balance. To
properly do this pose you should focus on aligning your body. Stand up with
your big toes touching, then lift all of your toes and fan them out. Place them
on the floor so that you have a solid base.
Place your weight evenly on both of your feet so that you feel your calves and
feet rooting to the floor. Draw your quadriceps upward so that your kneecaps
rise. Rotate your things in and tuck your tailbone, draw in your tummy.
Stretch your neck making it long so that it rises to the ceiling while your
shoulders slide down your back.
Cat - Cow Stretch - Increases spine flexibility. Begin this pose on all fours
with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keep
your spine in a straight line that connects your shoulders to your hips. Extend
your neck forward all the way through the crown of your head and back
through your tailbone. Maintain the natural extension of your neck out from
your spine.
Learning to do the above poses may be daunting but the combination of
postures along with breathing and meditation has been known to increase your
lifespan. It is said that your body will detoxify and he blood flow to your
different organs increases with his work. It also helps you to simply become
more aware of your body and your mood. This will help you to understand
when or if something is wrong with you physically.

There are a few people who should check with their physician before they
begin a Yoga program. Those who have uncontrolled high blood pressure, are
at risk for blood clots, have certain eye conditions like glaucoma, and
osteoporosis should seek professional medical advice prior to partaking in a
Yoga exercise program.
Focusing Energy
On a spiritual journey toward healing you will be asked to focus your energy.
You should understand how this is accomplished and why your would do it.
1. Stretch your muscles to allow energy to flow through them.
2. Move your body and joints, flex and extend your fingers and toes, ankles
and knees, wrists and elbows. Do neck rolls, knee bends, abdominal
twists, and arm circles to move the energy throughout your body.
3. Meditate. Sit in a comfortable spot and center yourself. Close your eyes
and visualize the energy of the earth being pulled up to your spine and
through your whole body. Meditation should continue for twenty
minutes or until you feel complete.
4. Breathe. Focus on your natural breathing rhythm for five or so minutes
and allow your mind to go quiet. Once you feel cleared, send out a
mental command telling any negative feelings to leave your body.
Visualize these negative feelings being carried away from you as you
exhale in a forceful manner. Do this over and over again until all of
those emotions have left your body.
5. Think clearly on your intent. Energy will flow through to whatever it is
your are focusing on. You might repeat phrases like, “my intent is to
heal my body” or “my intent is to heal my mind.”
In order to heal yourself spiritually you must be able to let go of anything
negative and allow positive spirits to do their work. We all hang on to regrets,
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 17
guilt, lost ideals as we go through life. We may be angry at someone or
something that happened a long time ago or just recently.
All of that negative energy prevents us from reaching a spiritually higher
plain. Reaching that plain is what allows us to be free and for the spirit world
to heal us mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Healing through Chakras can come from variety of places. You might be
surprised to find out that even the foods you eat can effect your chakras and in
turn the emotional and physical ailments that are associated with them. Below
is a list of foods that will feed your chakras and aid you in being well.

Page 18
The Chakras
The belief that everything in ones body on a subtle level has a series of energy
field or center of consciousness. In traditional Tantric teachings these fields
are called Chakras. These chakras are along or just in front of the back bone
although they may be expressed at external points in the body. The teachings
of Chakras date back to religious, yoga and the occult teachings in India,
China, and North America. They have some common points but also vary on
several levels. The word Chakra itself means wheel in Sanskrit.
These sacred centers are said to carry ones spirit on their journey toward
enlightenment. The chakra is a center of energy from which your life force is
both received and expressed. Each Chakra that is in a body is believed to
govern bodily functions that are near its region on the spine.
The 7 Primary Chakras
1. Muladhara - The base or root Chakra, located at the last bone on the
spinal cord of the coccyx. Sex organs are controlled here as well as
emotional feelings of lust , sensuality, and security.
2. Swadhisthana - The sacral chakra located near the ovaries or prostate.
Sex hormones are governed by this chakra it also relates to the emotions
in relationships, violence, addictions, emotional needs, and pleasure. It is
represented by the color orange.
3. Manipura - The solar plexus Chakra, near the navel. The manipura
governs ones digestive system as well as power, spirituality, and growth.
The color yellow represents this chakra.
4. Anahata - The heart Chakra, obviously located near the heart. This area
governs circulation physically and emotionally it involves complicated
emotions like love, compassion, tenderness, equilibrium, and well being.
It is noted by the color green.
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 19
5. Vishuddha - The throat Chakra located in the throat and neck area. This
relates to communication through expression. It is represented by the
color light blue. It not only governs communication but also,
independence, fluent thought, and a sense of security.
6. Ajna - The brow or third eye Chakra located in the pineal gland. This
Chakra is concerned with envisioning and regulating sleep and
awakening. It also regulates clarity and intuitiveness. It is represented by
the color white.
7. Sahasrara - The Crown Chakra located on the top of the head or the soft
spot of a newborn baby. This is considered the chakra of consciousness.
It is represented by the color violet and involves inner wisdom and the
death of the body.
Several modern healing techniques use Chakra points. Practices like
aromatherapy, mantras, Reiki, hands healing, flower essence healing, sound
therapy, light therapy, and crystal therapy all rely on balance at your energy
points or chakras.
Even in modern, western medicine the concept of Chakras is used. The
description of aligning ones spinal column from the base of your spine to the
top of your head is based on Chakra ideas. Some New Age practices use
colors or lotus flowers to visualize each chakra and place it in alignment.
The Chakras are believed to control energy and to draw it to them. This
energy keeps the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health of your
body balanced.
Root Chakra
Root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, beets, and onions.
Protein heavy foods like eggs, meats, beans, and tofu.
Spices like horseradish, chives, cayenne, and pepper
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 20
Sacral Chakra
Sweet fruits like strawberries, oranges, melons, and mangos.
Honey
Nuts like almonds or walnuts.
Spices like cinnamon, vanilla, sesame and caraway seeds.
Solar Plexus Chakra
Grains and granola like pastas, bread, cereal, and flax seed.
Dairy including milk, cheese, and yogurt.
Spices like ginger, mints, chamomile, and cumin.
Heart Chakra
Leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and greens.
Air vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, celery, or squash.
Green tea.
Spices like sage, thyme, cilantro, parsley, and basil.
Throat Chakra
Water, fruit juice, and herbal tea.
Tart or tangy fruit like lemon, lime, grapefruit, and kiwi.
Tree growing fruits like apples, pears, peaches, plums, or apricots.
Spices like salt and lemon grass.
Healing – Spiritual Techniques for Healing the Body
Page 21
Brow Chakra
Dark bluish colored fruits like blueberries, red grapes, and raspberries.
Red wines and grape juice.
Spices like lavender, poppy seed, and mugwort.
Crown Chakra
Fasting or detoxing.
Incense and smudge herbs like sage, juniper and frankincense to be
inhaled or smoked, never to be eaten.
You can also fuel your chakras through visualization techniques. Similar to
meditation, visualization allows energy to flow through your chakras. To do
this you must be able to visualize at color, like white light or one associated
with a particular chakra coursing through your body.
You have to focus the energy into the Chakra spiritual centers and filling each
up with light. Experience doing this will often allow one to feel a physical
vibration or warmth as their chakras fill with light. Then they will sense the
freedom that has come from spiritual energy clearing out negativity. Just as a
negative attitude or sad heart can make one sick, turning those thoughts
around can help to heal.
These concepts are taken from ancient cultures all over the world who have
used altered mental state healing in the form of trance and music. It is not so
different as modern hypnosis and dream analysis, just often more accepted.

Conclusion
The connection between the mind and the spirit can not be denied. Those who
have tried any form of spiritual healing have quickly learned that they feel
better physically when they have handled their emotional well being first. A
spiritual journey can be anything you want it to be.
Some people find that faith healers and extreme measures give them the state
of consciousness they require to feel better. Others may find that simple things
like Yoga classes and meditation works for their needs. It does not really
matter which avenue you choose to heal your soul what matters is the healing
that takes place.
If you are physically sick you may want to research which types of spiritual
healing have helped others with your specific affliction. For example, some
people have found great help overcoming pain through meditation and yoga.
Others who face depression and stress may find that they way to healing for
them is through a spiritual guide who can help them on their journey to
connect with the spirit world. There are many kinds of spiritual healing
available, all you have to do is find the one that works for you. It is all right to
start small, get your toes wet until you feel comfortable moving further on
your spiritual journey. If any part of it or any particular group makes you feel
uncomfortable move on to another group. There is no specific guide that
works best for everyone because it is such a deeply personal experience.
Along your journey you will find that you did not know yourself as well as
you thought you did. You might also find that old wounds, both physical and
emotional, had not healed as much as you let yourself believe they had. You
will also probably be surprised to find how much better you feel once your
spirit has connected with your body and soul and a more complete way then
you had previously experienced.

Synopsis

teaching there are 7 general energy centers in the body, every one
featuring a color affiliated with it.

A Little Beginning Info
A few crystal healers lay the same color crystals as the color of the
chakras on the individual to heighten the flow of energy. Crystals are
stated to guide the flow of energy to the individual in a certain part of
the body and bring in balance to an individuals energy.
Ultimately, they're utilized to clean the individual from foul or
damaging energy believed to induce a sickness. Driving out the
defective spiritual energy eases the physical ailment. Crystals are
utilized for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing.
Not only do individuals visit "crystal healers", in a few places,
professional nurses are getting trained to utilize crystals for their
patients. In addition, crystals may be worn, placed next to an
individuals bed as they sleep, and in a few cases placed around an
individuals bath.
The conceiver of crystal healing is nameless. All the same, this
practice has been around for hundreds of years. Individuals have
utilized amulets, magical stones, and gems all through history

powers.

Synopsis
In the pecking order of crystals utilized in spiritual healing nothing
stands higher up than Quartz. The healing energies of quartz have
long been recognized. Since the time of the fabled Atlantis no stone
has been more revered for its crystal healing attributes than Quartz.
- 27 -
The Main One
To the shaman and metaphysical healer quartz is the quintessential
curative stone. Quartz crystals posses all of the attributes the
practitioner of Crystal Healing looks for.
Whether that's the Reiki Master, the Shaman or the acupuncturist
who utilizes needles that have been coated with quartz. Even science
realizes the unparalleled and astonishing abilities of Quartz Crystals.

frequencies. It's why Quartz is utilized in radios and additional

transmutation powers of quartz crystals.

influence of quartz crystals may mend these imbalances.
The electro-magnetic attributes of quartz are mostly due to the base

Valley mean anything?).

you to study this very page; might likewise help us communicate with
and tap into the fabric of the cardinal energies of the universe.
Once more science and spirituality are not so aloof after all. It was
Einstein himself who stated “The more I come to comprehend the
universe, the more I'm convinced of the presence of a superior
reasoning energy. There are 2 ways to live: you are able to live as if
nothing is a miracle; or you are able to live as if everything is a
miracle.”

Chapter 9: Choosing The Right Crystals
Synopsis
Here is an easy procedure to identify which crystal will work best for
your particular goal.
- 34 -
How To
Distinctly identify your aim
Seek a few crystal assortments that appear to support your goal
(in a book, net, from a professional, and so forth.).
Select a particular specimen that provides vibrational match to
your frequency.
That final part is best achieved by holding the crystal in your hand or
thinking about holding it (if you're purchasing online for instance)
and say your purpose: "I wish to slim down." Always say the purpose
in an affirmatory sentence (so do not say: "I wish to quit feeling
angry").
Affirmative sentences allow the flow of energy (which is what you
require), while damaging sentences trigger resistors. Shut your eyes
while you say your purpose so you are able to center inward.
If you're more in-tuned with your emotions, seek a great feeling
(light, tingly, happy, grinning, great memories spring to mind,
laughing are all great).
If you're more in-tuned with your body, you are able to utilize muscle
testing: balance yourself upright and let your body "hover" and let it
fall in the way it wishes. If you fall frontwards, it means you have a
great match. If you fall rearwards, you don't. There are a lot of
different ways to utilize muscle testing for this intent, this is a simple
one.
- 35 -
Once you've discovered the crystal, make a conscious conclusion to let
yourself be open to its influence. In order to interact with the tangible
world, we frequently have to shut down our receptivity to remote
influences.
That may lead to a generalized shutdown where all influences are
barricaded. You may discover yourself inadvertedly fighting the
crystal's influence.
One last thing you are able to do to facilitate the influence procedure
is to place your crystal close to a little water fountain. Don't place
them in the water, as the mineral deposits may damage them.
But anyplace near the fountain will do. This lets the really powerful
chi of the water propagate the vibrational frequency of the crystal
throughout your home or office.
- 36 -
Wrapping Up
When you look for the help of a crystal, you're enlisting a potent ally
to "raise" your vibrational frequency. Regardless what the crystal is
utilized for, its desired effect is always a gain in your vibrational
frequency. We frequently crave particular crystals because we have a
great "vibrational match" with them. This vibrational match implies
that proximity to this crystal elevates our vibrational frequency,
therefore making us feel "great."
Choosing a crystal for a particular purpose is an awesome way to help
yourself without having to commit much energy to it. The proximity
of the crystal is perpetually affecting your own frequency,
maneuvering you upward towards your goal. Likewise, a crystal that
doesn't have a great match is perpetually draining you by lowering
your vibrational frequency. Therefore, picking out the right crystal is
of essential importance.
There are a lot of books that depict crystals and their usage, yet most
of them disagree on precise properties. This makes perfect sense if
you think about that different crystals of the same family have
assorted properties, and likewise that individuals will respond to
them differently. But with the knowledge you have gotten here you
should have a starting point.

The chakras are thought to vitalize the physical body and to be
affiliated with interactions of a physical, emotional and mental
nature. The purpose of the chakras is to spin and attract in energy to
keep the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellness of the
body in balance.
They're stated by some to reflect how the unified consciousness of
humanity is divided to manage assorted facets of earthly life. It is as
well associated to spiritual healing.

Chapter 1: The Basics Of Spiritual Discovery
Synopsis
When people embark on a journey of self-discovery, they commonly
focus on the physical and emotional side of their personality. Rarely
do people consider the importance of spiritual self-discovery, even if
they identify as spiritual side to their personality. When we take the
time to explore the part of our psyche that we sometimes call spirit or
soul, we discover a unique and different aspect to our personality we
may not even have realized existed.
- 6 -
The Journey
We are people made up of physical, spiritual, intellectual and
emotional dimensions. We experience the world and the experiences
we go through in the world, by looking at them through these
dimensions. This is not new.
We know that humanity has always considered these dimensions.
Roman and Greek mythology, Roman astrology and ancient religions
are all testimony to the very real role that spirituality has played in
human development.
We perhaps identify best with the moment we see a magnificent
sunrise, or an amazing act of nature that leaves us in a state of
bewilderment and wonder, recognizing there are things in our life
that are beyond our ability to control. We have a conscious or
unconscious desire to know this power and it is what we can term
spirituality.
When people think of spiritual wellbeing, they commonly think of
God. Whoever or whatever they conceive “him” to be. Some consider
him a supreme being and others consider him as “the man upstairs” a
belligerent father figure. Still others reject the concept of any sort of
being, and find their spirituality in the earth, or in nature.
So how do we discover the spiritual side of our personalities? Some
people discover it through embracing formal religion, others discover
- 7 -
it through yoga or some other form of meditation that causes them to
focus in on themselves and still others go on a journey of self-
discovery and call this a religious experience.
Some have compared this spiritual awakening with a heightened
sense of experiencing. As we allow our inner selves to experience life
at a deeper level than just what seems obvious around us, we begin to
relate to things in a different way.
In whatever we choose to embrace the spiritual side of our
personality, when we do focus on spiritual self-awareness we
commonly discover we come alive in our personality and this has an
effect on how we relate to self and others.

Chapter 2: About Meditation
Synopsis
Spirituality entails a lot of practices; some are physical some are
spiritual. Physically, there are activities such as singing of religious
hymns or even sitting on the wheel of prayer.
As a matter of fact, some go to an extent of doing certain physiological
body routines before performing any spiritual activity. However, one
of the main activities that link both spiritual and physiological
activities is meditation.
This is the process through which many spiritual individual tend to
connect with their inner spiritual realm and even connect with God.
All in all, not everyone understands the importance of meditation in
spirituality. This can only be explained by understanding the power of
meditation.
- 9 -
Behind It
Meditation is a vital tool for anyone who wishes to grow spiritually.
For those who ignore meditation, they tend to suffer from unease.
Notice the difference; dis-ease and disease. The latter is a disorder in
the body while the other is a disorder in the spiritual self that results
in some sort of discomfort.
This is mainly brought about by that disconnection with God. In
relation to this, meditation tends to connect our souls with God hence
bringing about growth of the spiritual self. This is the main power of
meditation in terms of spiritual.
Basically, meditation is said to have several benefits to the mind, body
and soul. This is because the three are linked together to form the real
you. As for the soul, it gets its nourishment from our connection with
God which can only be achieved by regularly meditating. Therefore,
not meditating is denying the soul its food.
This is hazardous; just like denying the physical body food. With this
trend, we might end up starving to death and the same will happen to
the soul. And a body without a soul is ‘dead’. Therefore, if you feel
some unease, the n that is a sign that your soul is starving. Take
action before tings get worse.
On the other hand, there are various levels of meditation each meant
to serve a particular purpose. Many have the will to meditate but end
- 10 -
up frustrated in the end due to lack of results. Why do you think this
happens? It is simply because they perform the wrong meditation
practices for their level hence bearing no results.
For more information on meditation levels, consult a meditating
expert who will give you directions on the various meditation levels
and their uses. Therefore, you will be in a position to choose.

Chapter 3: Meditation Techniques
Synopsis
Although there are many different approaches to Chakra meditation,
the fundamental principles remain the same. The most important
among these principles is that of removing obstructive, negative, and
wandering thoughts and fantasies, and calming the mind with a deep
sense of focus. This clears the mind of debris and prepares it for a
higher quality of activity.
- 12 -
Strategies
The negative thoughts you have – those of noisy neighbors, bossy
officemates, that parking ticket you got, and unwanted spam– are
said to contribute to the ‘polluting’ of the mind, and shutting them
out is allows for the ‘cleansing’ of the mind so that it may focus on
deeper, more meaningful thoughts.
Some practitioners even shut out all sensory input – no sights, no
sounds, and nothing to touch – and try to detach themselves from the
commotion around them. You may now focus on a deep, profound
thought if this is your goal. It may seem deafening at first, since we
are all too accustomed to constantly hearing and seeing things, but as
you continue this exercise you will find yourself becoming more
aware of everything around you.
If you find the meditating positions you see on television threatening
– those with impossibly arched backs, and painful-looking
contortions – you need not worry. The principle here is to be in a
comfortable position conducive to concentration. This may be while
sitting cross-legged, standing, lying down, and even walking.
If the position allows you to relax and focus, then that would be a
good starting point. While sitting or standing, the back should be
straight, but not tense or tight. In other positions, the only no-no is
slouching and falling asleep.
- 13 -
Loose, comfortable clothes help a lot in the process since tight fitting
clothes have a tendency to choke you up and make you feel tense.
The place you perform meditation should have a soothing
atmosphere. It may be in your living room, or bedroom, or any place
that you feel comfortable in. You might want an exercise mat if you
plan to take on the more challenging positions (if you feel more
focused doing so, and if the contortionist in you is screaming for
release). You may want to have the place arranged so that it is
soothing to your senses.
Silence helps most people relax and meditate, so you may want a
quiet, isolated area far from the ringing of the phone or the humming
of the washing machine. Pleasing scents also help in that regard, so
stocking up on aromatic candles isn’t such a bad idea either.
The monks you see on television making those monotonous sounds
are actually performing their mantra. This, in simple terms, is a short
creed, a simple sound which, for these practitioners, holds a mystic
value.
You do not need to perform such; however, it would pay to note that
focusing on repeated actions such as breathing, and humming help
the practitioner enter a higher state of consciousness.
- 14 -
The principle here is focus. You could also try focusing on a certain
object or thought, or even, while keeping your eyes open, focus on a
single sight.
One sample routine would be to – while in a meditative state –
silently name every part of your body and focusing your
consciousness on that part. While doing this you should be aware of
any tension on any part of your body. Mentally visualize releasing
this tension. It works wonders.

Chapter 4: The Throat and Chakra Connection
Synopsis
According to the ancients, there are certain vibrations, sounds, that
correlate to the different color vibrations of the chakras. What does
‘connecting’ mean? It is a feeling that is easier to experience than to
describe. Suppose you are trying to connect the throat friction with
the area between the eyebrows, for instance. In the beginning there is
a simultaneous awareness of them. Then a resonance automatically
takes place between the two.
The area between the eyebrows seems to vibrate together with the
throat friction. Then a ‘mixing’ takes place. The throat friction
combines with the feeling between the eyebrows. There is a
communication of energy between the larynx and the Chakra. That is
what is meant by ‘connecting’.
- 16 -
Connection There follows a simple but essential experience: the perception of
the Chakra quickly becomes more distinct and tangible. This result is
clear and instantaneous. The effect of the throat friction is to ‘give
shape’, make things more substantial. Therefore, whenever you
connect the throat friction with a chakra or any other organ of energy
the organ becomes more perceptible. The larynx makes things
manifest, it reveals them.
A similar effect will be observed when working on auras. You first
have to build up the inner space and engage the process of seeing.
Then some exercises will show how your perception of nonphysical
halos and auras are instantaneously boosted when combining throat
friction and vision. The lights and colors will appear significantly
‘denser’ and more tangible.
The throat friction can also be used to establish a linkage between
different structures of energy. Not only can you connect the friction to
the Chakra or any other organ of energy, but you can also enhance the
connection between different organs of energy, and link them
through the friction.
we see that through the voice we express our thoughts and our
emotions, which is a way of giving them a more defined form. you will
realize that the throat friction makes the Chakra more tangible, as if
shaping it. You will tune into your Chakra, and as soon as you start
- 17 -
implementing the throat friction, the Chakra will immediately be
perceived more clearly and more intensely.

Chapter 5: How To Tips
Synopsis
There are 7 major chakras, or energy centers, along the spine--from
the base of your spine to the top of your head. Each chakra has a
assorted purpose, but they all work together to bring the body into
balance spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. Meditating
on the chakras may enhance this balance and, in turn, your life.

Wrapping Up
Our bodies bear sensitive areas that are filled up with energy and are
the focal points of emotions, feelings, hunch and insight. These
energy points are named Chakras. Each Chakra has its own features
and singular properties. It will help you center your mind and body
as you work to detect how your Chakras serve you and how to best
utilize them as guides in day-to-day life.
