See How Reiki Can Heal You
Reiki can assist in the release of these blockages and allow life’s energy force to freely flow, enhancing your own body's natural healing ability.
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese spiritual practice of energy healing developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui. The Usui Natural Healing System's technique, commonly called laying of the hands or healing touch, is a form of alternative medicine. It was found in ancient writings in Tibet, the keys to healing with touch and channeling energy to the client from the outside environment’s energy source. Through the use of this technique, practitioners transfer healing energy in the form of Ki through the crown, heart and palm chakras to the client.
Stress, worry and cellular memories of past emotional traumas are all held in the mental and emotional bodies. These things can block or imbalance your energy source, affecting your relationships, your jobs, your health and your overall well-being. All of these things will help to manifest aches, pains and even disease in the physical body.
Reiki can assist in the release of these blockages and allow life’s energy force to freely flow, enhancing your own body's natural healing ability. This is complete and whole body healing at its finest!!
In a typical whole-body Reiki treatment, I would instruct the recipient to lie down on a massage table, and relax. Loose and comfortable clothing is usually worn during the treatment. I ask a few questions about certain areas of concern, then take a few moments to enter a calm or meditative state of mind and mentally prepare for the treatment. The treatment is then usually carried out with or without any unnecessary talking depending on the needs of the client.
I proceed with the treatment by placing my hands on or slightly above the recipient in various positions. Using a non-touching technique depends on the clients comfort level, where the hands are held a just few centimeters away from the recipient's body for some or all of the positions. This is equally effective. The whole treatment lasting anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the clients needs.
Every recipient feels Reiki differently while being treated, even when a non-touching approach is being used. A state of deep relaxation, combined with a general feeling of well-being, is usually the most noticeable immediate effect of the treatment. There are also times when emotional release of cellular memories can also occur during the session. The release of old memories of the past emotional, spiritual or physical wounds allows the client to move forward living in the now moment.
Reiki treatments stimulate the body's natural healing processes, and there can even be an instantaneous release of a specific pain or health problem. A series of three or more treatments is usually recommended if a chronic condition is being addressed, and regular treatments on an on-going basis can be used for maintaining a sense of complete well-being. Reiki is administered the same in a distant session, as Reiki knows no time or distance.

Distant Reiki
You can experience the same benefits of Life Healing Energy distantly as you would in person. If a client is unable for one reason or another to come to my office for a healing session, I would recommend distant healing.
During a distant session, Life Healing Energy can send Reiki, balance your chakras and energy field, provide grounding as well access your inner child so that you may begin healing emotionally as well as to assist in your negative physical manifestations.
With Life Healing Energy, I am able to assist in the restoration of the clients own innate healing ability, as well as provide tools of continued healing for the client to use in their daily lives after their session.

what to expect from a distant session
The distant session will always begin with a phone call at the designated time, discussing client needs areas of concern.
During the distant session, you will need to set aside a time period of one full hour to be in a quiet space and uninterrupted. I will activate the distant Life Healing Energy and work quietly according to the clients needs. The client sometimes feels the energy as if they were there in person.
A client may feel such things as emotions rising to the surface, tingling sensations, a pulsing of energy, warmth, coolness or a feeling of relaxation. Each distant session is uniquely different and tailored to each clients needs so every client receives Life Healing Energy differently.

how internalized emotions turn into physical pain
We all internalize things, situations, or even people differently. My new mantra lately is: “You cannot pour from an empty cup!”. My husband has been continuously telling me this because it was such a difficult lesson for me. It's still a difficult less for me and most days I have to make a dedicated effort to remember it. Most of my life was spent putting the needs of others before my own. I was always proud of the fact that I cared so much about others, because in my mind, that meant that I was a good person and could look myself in the mirror every day and feel good about me. Now lets look at the other side of the spectrum...looking at other viewpoints of a situation is so very difficult because most people only want to see one side of things. Some, because they feel so passionately about their side that they cannot be open enough to at least try to see another viewpoint. Others, because seeing another viewpoint would show another a very uncomfortable truth that they may not be ready to see. Here's what I mean: I used to truly believe and be happy with who I was; taking care of and making sure everyone I loved was ok. Now, mind you, I'm not saying that this is not a lovely way to be because I believe it is. But, in taking care of everyone before myself, can you guess, who didn't get taken care of? While making sure everyone else was ok, all of my time, effort, money, and love was spent on another person. At the end of the day, the week, or even the month, I didn't make much deserved time for me. At the end of the day, I internalized it as me being not as important as everyone else in my life. I've spoken a lot about the Law of Attraction and I believe this to be true. Our brains are much more powerful than we can even comprehend sometimes. It is your brain that can and will dictate what comes our way just by our thoughts. And not just our thoughts, but our perceptions. Just as like attracts like in thoughts, if you perceive these thoughts to be negative, your attracting more perceived “negativity” into your life. Did you ever notice a situation unfold with two very different people and two very different, opposite reactions? Maybe one person reacted calm, cool, and collected; the other person would fly off the handle and create a snowball effect of negativity in their world that day. Here's an example: One person sitting in traffic that is seriously not moving, is very angry and gets themselves in a bad mood, and now for the rest of the day, that negativity snowballs and grows as other things negatively happening, such as the copier being broken when you get to work, or your food being cold when you get it. Meanwhile, the other person takes the stand still of the traffic and enjoys their alone time for a bit. This person understands that there is nothing they can do about it so maybe dancing and singing it out to their favorite song is just what they do. Taking a negative situation and putting a positive spin on it is so very difficult, but also very liberating. It's really not about who in that situation is right and who is wrong, but for you to see that your brain can and does internalize everything. And your brain does also internalize things perceived by you as right or wrong. If we could just stop with the judgments of ourselves and others, and allow each experience we have in front of us to help us grow and become more grounded, we would then gain better health. Just as your brain attracts to you what you internalize, without your even realizing it, so does your body. Your body is no different. Your body gives you little signs that something is wrong on a daily basis also. Most people are so used to ignoring these signs, that they can't even see them now. When you internalize these negative emotions and keep them there, they sit in your body as aches and pains. Eventually after your body has been screaming at you for quite a bit, it begins creating disease. Any aches, pains, or tightness in certain areas in the body, often have to do with the emotions your holding on to within yourself. This may sound very silly, but it's because most people are just not in touch with what goes on in their body's. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is most certainly true as I've experienced it personally. It was through much counseling and reading and wanting to heal myself that I realized this to be true. Growing up in a home where the kids were to be seen and not heard, one might internalized that their voice and opinion didn't matter. That same child may just learn to live quietly, and never have an opinion, for most of her life. It's that very child that would end up later in life with Thyroid Cancer. That child was me. Now some might choose to look at the right and the wrong in that situation, in judgment, but again, the judgment is not necessary, nor is it the point. Others may just choose to have a better understanding and seeing the bigger picture; that any negative emotion internalized, will breed aches, pains and even disease if internalized long enough. Being that child I just talked about, I make a dedicated effort every day now, to speak my truth, no matter how I feel it will be received. I choose not to live in the right or wrong of a situation in judgment, but to learn the lesson and know my self-worth. This is a difficult task, not just for me, but for many. Here are some pains that are directly linked to emotions that we can acknowledge and help ourselves heal: Head Pain Often times, head pain signifies being overwhelmed. If you were to just acknowledge being overwhelmed and find a healthy, constructive way to move past it, you would easily move past it. Do you love to cook, write, dance, or paint? Do one of those things that you love and give back some much deserved time for your relaxation. Take some time for yourself to do some relaxing meditation. Let yourself know that you deserve it and your worth it! Neck Pain Physical symptoms of neck pain have to do with disc disease or osteoporosis. Whenever these symptoms appear, you may be holding on to an emotional fear of life or an insecurity. Maybe these emotions are helping you to be stubborn and inflexible. If this is something that you recognize, try to make a conscious effort to see the other side of a situation and understand that there is no right and wrong, only lessons that help you grow and be more grounded and healthy. Shoulder Pain Physical symptoms of shoulder pain can be telling you that you are holding the weight of the world on your shoulders, and not taking the time for self care. Shoulder pain may show up because it represents our personal ability to carry life's experience with joy and gratitude; not a burden. Try to learn the lesson and grow. Take the time for yourself and the well-bing of your mind, body, and spirit! Upper Back Pain Upper back pain usually represents itself as feelings of lack of emotional support. The feelings of being unloved, or not loved enough show up and this is a reminder that we are in charge of our own happiness. We need to remember that at the end of the day, WE are responsible for our own happiness. Go and get what it is that you want, no matter how uncomfortable this may feel. Because you deserve at least that much and much much more!! Middle Back Pain Middle back pain usually represents itself as feelings of guilt or just plain being stuck in the past. Again, this is a reminder to see the situation, not placing guilt, or right and wrong, but for the growth of your own happiness in this moment. Lower Back Pain Physical symptoms of lower back pain may show as sciatica, pelvic disorders, kidney stones, or colon issues. These symptoms may appear when your are in fear or lack of financial support. Any pain in this area may keep you in a constant state of fear, because now you may think, “What if I can't work because of this?” See this snowball? It could be catastrophic if you are the person that will let it. Again, listen to your body, and find the source of this pain. Take care of you to do what needs to be done, so that you can release these emotions that are bringing your body pain. Knee Pain Knee pain shows up when we have an inability to bend or become inflexible on certain topics, feelings or emotions. Again, remember there are two very different types of people in the world and three sides to every story; at the end of the day, none of these things truly matters. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong or even what has happened. Our happiness is what truly matters. It's only what we take and learn from these situations, and how we love ourselves in the end that will keep us healthy and whole. Hip Pain Hip pain is a sign of indecision; being afraid to make a major decision and move forward. First and foremost, think about the very worst possible thing that could happen if you make the wrong decision. You may need to start over. This may be something huge for some, but for others it's a great learning experience, because they were able to remain positive. Its all a matter of perception. Make it a great learning experience for you and learn to trust your gut. In most cases, you'll find that you had the correct answer the whole time, but didn't trust yourself enough to take the first step. Fear is one things that will keep us in a state of imbalance which is what creates disease. Love you enough to trust in you! Ankle Pain Ankle pain denotes emotions of inflexibility and guilt. This is a direct representation of the ability to receive or not receive pleasure. Again, sometimes we just simply need to remember how very important our happiness is. We need to remind ourselves daily to take the well deserved time for ourselves and our well-being. In the beginning of this blog, I started with “You cannot pour from an empty cup!”, and while I believe this to be true, I still have to work every day to remember this and try to continue to undue some of the negativity I've allowed to stay in me and in my body. This is a work in progress for myself to continuously move beyond my definition of each experience and use those experiences to move into a state of awareness, so that I may keep myself and my body grounded in the here and now and stay healthy. Old habits do indeed die hard, but all we can do is learn from experiences we've had and do the best we can for ourselves each and every day. Learn and work every day to keep your mind, body, and spirit in a state of balance! This is what keeps you healthy and whole~! "If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him." ~Hippocrates “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt Nicole Lawler Reiki can help determine the root of your illness
Having lived a life that was less than perfect like most of us have, I had grown accustomed to holding some negative things in my mind which has made my body very sick at one point in my life. It wasn't until that time that I learned most about mind, body, and spirit, and the power of your thoughts. Illness is created in your mind first with your thoughts! I grew up in a home where children were seen and not heard. From a very young age, I was taught that my voice didn't count or matter, so I didn't learn to speak my truth or even to have an opinion. From holding in my truth for so long, I successfully developed thyroid cancer. I know I keep coming back to this in my writing, but I want people to realize that when terrible things happen in your world sometimes, it's what you take from those things to grow and learn, that make or break abundant health, wealth, and ultimately happiness in your life. The physical and emotional healing I've done in my life due to this illness, was bittersweet. While I wouldn't wish anyone to go through the horrific time of healing that I did, today I can honestly say that I was blessed with the lesson. My body screamed in warning to me for a very long time, but I just didn't listen. Of course I would become sick at some point while ignoring the signs, but I had no idea at the time. It was then that I realized the power of my mind through my own personal healer. Every hardship or trying time that we go through, is simply a lesson, and if you choose to view it as such, you will then begin your own healing journey. This is what I wish for everyone; to truly learn how to heal mind, body, and spirit as one! I took many different paths and roadways to do my own personal healing. My personal healer was nothing short of what I considered my miracle. She helped me to physically heal my body with weekly Reiki treatments. Continuing on with my healer for quite some time, she was able to help me determine the emotional root of the negativity being held onto which was creating the physical illness in the first place. This is truly where the magic happened! Healing is always a work in progress! Throughout your entire life's journeys, there will be lessons to learn and healing to do! Think about what negative things your holding onto. This is what truly creates the aches and pains in our physical bodies, that eventually create illness and disease. Take the time to do some healing work on you, and allow me to help you live the happy, healthy, and abundant life you deserve! Love & Light Nicole holistic cancer treatment with reiki
Reiki helps re-balance the physical, emotional, and spiritual body. It aids in the body’s natural healing capabilities. It has now become a widely known therapy for many ailments and diseases. Reiki sessions help restore your sense of wholeness. Reiki is now recognized for healing cancer and many other disorders, and is promoted by the American Cancer Society as safer holistic cancer therapy. Traditional cancer treatment can be very painful and draining. Because Reiki is a non-invasive procedure, it helps the patients relax, lowers the stress levels, lowers the heart rate, and even reduces intense pain while enduring conventional treatment. Reiki energy goes right where it’s needed combating the pain and helps to promote better health for faster healing. Reiki can help fight symptoms at each individual stage of conventional cancer treatments. Problems in our lives, illness, and disease come from minor blockages in our mind, body, or spirit. Energy healing restores the balance of the whole person. Sickness often begins in our mind, and it is often in the mind that healing begins, bringing you from a state of dis-ease back to a more balanced state. In the early stages of cancer, Reiki may even reduce tumor size, helping to reduce the number of chemo treatments. Being diagnosed with Cancer can be very traumatizing to a person. Since chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatments can be quite painful and draining, physically as well as mentally, Reiki can help ease the symptoms and bring balance back to your body. This balance will put your mind and body in a place conducive to your body’s natural healing ability. It is said that accumulated emotional energy may be the original cause of an illness and Reiki can help the patient release this energy. In the case of terminal care, Reiki is used in focusing on improving the quality of life by reducing the physical and emotional stress often associated with serious illness, especially in hospices. I donated time to a local hospice and helped many in their time of crossing over for an easier transition. Reiki was also a great help to the family who has been emotionally drained from the grieving process of losing a loved one. Reiki has many known benefits during cancer treatments. It balances the mind, body, and spirit, removing the body of toxins and impurities, allowing the body to regain its natural ability to heal. While rebalancing energy, Reiki enhances the immune system. It brings peace and calmness, reducing stress. It relieves pain and discomfort of treatment, creating comfort. Reiki helps regenerate cellular growth, accelerating the healing process. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer, make a difference in their life and introduce them to the healing benefits of Reiki at a much needed time. reiki is finally on the map of healing modalities
After many decades of Reiki’s validity being disputed and discounted, the holistic energy treatment is gaining an entirely new respect in the medical community. Initially, the very idea of the human body being surrounded by invisible life force energy was labeled absurd. The thought process is that if it is invisible, it cannot be measured by traditional research or scientific instrumentation. William Lee Rand, Founder of the International Center for Reiki Training is changing all of that. In 2005, he created a peer review method for analyzing the current state of scientific studies done on Reiki programs in hospitals, clinics, and hospice facilities throughout the United States, called the Touchstone Process. William Lee Rand also developed the Reiki in Hospitals Website, which is one of the most comprehensive compilations of hospitals in the world now offering Reiki. There have never before been so many studies of Reiki in a single source. There have been many controlled studies submitted to peer-journals and the The Touchstone Process for review. All disorders that had favorable outcomes to Reiki treatments include: pain in chronically ill patients, depression, stress, cognitive assessment in elderly, related to dementia/Alzheimers, pre-operative relaxation, post-operative pain, migraine relief. It was reported that 83% of the most controlled studies, showed moderate to strong evidence in support of Reiki as a viable, therapeutic healing modality. In a press release dated September 15th, 2008, The American Hospital Association President and CEO Rich Umbdenstock stated, “Complementary and alternative medicine has shown great promise in supporting and stimulating healing. It’s one of the many tools hospitals look to as they continue to create optimal healing environments for the patients they serve.” In conclusion, as Reiki continues to be a huge asset for the hospitals, The Touchstone Process reports will continue to help people see that Reiki is an effective healing modality first hand. As a Reiki practitioner, I am very passionate about it because just seeing the client’s sense of wellbeing and calm after the pain has dissipated is pretty amazing. It would be fantastic if all of our healthcare systems helped us by helping our bodies facilitate the healing process the way it’s supposed to. Maybe it’s time to get back to the basics.

Reiki can balance trauma and the benefits of Reiki practice to people undergoing surgery is the same. It will always heal them heal faster, than without it. Our bodies were designed to heal themselves. When your body is traumatized though surgery, Reiki treatments can sooth the shock to your system and optimizes your body’s innate ability to heal itself. Reiki treatments are ideal before, during, and after surgery. Administering Reiki prior to surgery can help one prepare their mind and body for the procedure. Reiki, helping to reduce stress and tension, places the body in its optimal state for healing. A Reiki treatment during the surgery will help to reduce stress levels on the body and support the body’s ability to undergo the procedure. This can be done in a distance Reiki session. I’ve performed many distance sessions where I sit in a quiet place and perform the treatment as if the person is right in front of me. I’m still amazed every time someone reports back the results of those sessions. Anyone who’s had any type of surgery can tell you that the pain you may wake up with can be pretty intense. Reiki treatments after the surgery can help the pain subside immediately and help create the perfect balance in your body conducive to quicker healing. One Reiki medicine article suggests that when you practice on someone hooked up to monitors after the surgery, the benefits of Reiki are often measurable. You may see improved heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. This is huge, especially when you’re talking about preventing post-surgical complications. A neighbor of mine went through an adult removal of tonsils surgery. One of her comments was, “It was warm and soothing over my throat/neck area. The strangest thing was that after the treatment, I felt relaxed and pain-free instantly.” Click here to read everything she had to say about her experience. My Reiki experience was shortly after I had my thyroid removed, which brought me awful side effects. Click here to read about how Reiki helped me personally after my surgery. Do you have an experience of surgery with Reiki that you’d like to share? I’d love to hear about it. Nicole Lawler The butterfly effect
The butterfly effect is the idea that something minor can have a non-linear impact on a complex system. This concept is pictured as a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. Of course, this is a seriously over-exaggerated image, but any small ripple can certainly serve as a catalyst that acts on something with greater severity to impact in your life. Letting a snowball roll downhill, will collect more snow and created a larger ball of snow. Similarly, if we hold onto any type of negativity within us, that negativity expands and grows, wreaking havoc in your body. Having lived a life that was less than perfect like most of us have, I had grown accustomed to holding some negative things in my mind which has made my body very sick at various points in my life. It wasn't until I was dealing with the after effects of cancer, that I learned most about mind, body and spirit, and the power of your thoughts. Here is a very personal example of my own butterfly effect. I was taught very early on that children should be seen and not heard. So from a very young age, I learned to quiet my voice. I wasn't able to speak my truth or able to have an opinion; or so I thought. From holding in my truth for so long, I successfully developed thyroid cancer. Also the poem, “Children Learn What They Live”, by Dorothy Nolte, has taught me so very much. “If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty”, was the verse that always hit home for me. Growing up in a world of shame helped me feel guilty about everything in life, including if the sun didn't shine. Sadly, that's not an exaggeration. The physical and emotional healing I've done in my life due to this illness, was bittersweet. While I wouldn't wish anyone to go through the horrific time in my life of healing that I did, I can now say that I was blessed with the lesson. My body screamed in warning at me for a very long time, but I just didn't listen. Of course I would become sick at some point while ignoring the signs, but I had no idea at the time. It was then that I realized the power of my mind through my own personal healer. I took many different paths and roadways to do my own personal healing. But my personal healer was nothing short of what I considered my miracle. She saved my life! She helped me to heal my physical body and the awful symptoms that go along with having no thyroid with regular Reiki treatments. More importantly, she was able to break down emotional barriers to truly determine the root of the negativity being held on to. This is what created my physical illness in the first place. At a certain point during one of my Reiki sessions, I realized that all of my issues began with my thoughts and how I treated myself. These negative thoughts about myself had such a ripple effect in my life. I was successfully living in a life without self-love and neglected myself for so long that I manifested cancer. I'm as sure as I'm breathing today, that if that lesson never came to me, I'd have another form of cancer down the road. I remember feeling so much love during my first Reiki session, that uncontrollable tears rolled down my face. When the session was finished, my healer hugged me with all of her being and I remember thinking that this is a woman who doesn't even know me; how could she have this much love for me? After replaying that first session in my head many times, the light bulb started to flicker with the realization that I don't love me. That's when my healing began. Now, I work on loving me every day! I know I keep coming back to this, but love yourself! Every hardship or trying time that we go through, is simply a lesson. If you choose to view it as such, only then, will you begin your own healing journey. Try to find the lesson in every experience and use those lessons to learn, grow and heal. It will make all the difference in your life. This is what I wish for everyone; to truly learn how to heal mind, body and spirit as one! Nicole Lawler why healing symptoms alone won't heal discomfort, pain, illness or disease
The human body is simply the vessel for emotional and spiritual beings that we are. And you cannot possibly heal your physical body alone from symptoms of pain, illness or disease, without also healing your mind and spirit. Balance; it's always about balance. Our well-being or dis-ease is a direct result of the flow of energy of each of these parts equally. This is why treating your symptoms of discomfort or pain doesn't work. You need to heal the part of you that created the symptom of discomfort in the first place. Our physical bodies were designed to be self-correcting with numerous healing systems of checks and balances. The autonomic nervous system is just one of the systems in our body that shows us this. This is the system in our bodies that is responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes. This system includes the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the rest and digest system, is what conserves energy as it slows the heart rate and increases intestinal and gland activity when necessary. The sympathetic nervous system's primary function is to stimulate the body's fight-or-flight response. Fight-or-flight is a physiological response to a perceived harmful even, attack or a threat to survival. This entire autonomic system's design helps prepare the body to cope with stress and threats, as well as returning the body to a resting state afterwards. Bear in mind that times of the past generations were much simpler. Most families back then consisted of two parents, one of which was usually taking care of the children. Times of today are very different and the challenges of two working parents or in many cases, single parent families are many. Oftentimes, most of us run around scattered most of the time trying to get all of the necessary things accomplished in a day with no time for rest. Due to this consistent stresses of life during these times, we are generally living most of our days within the sympathetic nervous system. Understand that our bodies were not meant to be in a constant state of fight-or-flight response system. When our bodies don't regularly return to a period of rest afterwards, it wreaks havoc on our organs and systems with all of the hormones being released on a constant basis. Hence, creating aches and pains, illness or even disease. This is our bodies way of telling us to stop, listen and slow down, of which, most of us rarely do. This is only one of the physical systems of checks and balances our bodies were designed with. Now let's think about our emotions. When you live in a constant state of fight-or-flight, your emotions tend to get scattered and less than positive. The negative emotions of ongoing stress, depression, anxiety, constant excitement and even possible emotional pains of our past are all traumatic emotional energy. The negative emotional energy also gets channeled into the physical body, showing too, as the aches and pains in our daily lives. This is our bodies way of trying to dispel this energy and in most cases, if you stop and listen to your body, these symptoms ease and your body recovers naturally. It's when you continue to ignore your body, that it creates longer lasting effects such as illness and disease. So stop treating your symptoms of pain and listen to your body. Take the time to rest. We all need a reset button for ourselves every day to stay healthy. I'm not saying that you can't be Superman/woman and get it all done in a day, because you probably can and most likely do. Most of us have grown accustomed to this daily way of life, but at what cost? Is it worth your health? This is such a difficult lesson for most but think of your loved ones around you. Don't you want to be there for them in a healthy and balanced state for years to come? Because I'm pretty positive that they want that for both of you. When your feeling imbalanced, not well, or have aches and pains, remember your body is trying to tell you something. And oftentimes, physical issues manifested from a less than positive emotional place. So treat your entire being with balance and rest to help you to determine the root cause, which you can then deal with and heal fully. Throwing medication at a symptom will simply mask it, while the core issue is still very much alive. Core issues grow and fester, and at a certain point, they make you stop and listen. I'm living proof of that, having had thyroid cancer at the age of 37. My symptoms started when I was 27 but I didn't stop to listen to my body. I send you these healing tips from a place of love in the hopes that you may not have to go through a life altering disease like I did. Again, it's so important to understand that you cannot heal the whole of you, without healing each of the parts. Take time to do things that are relaxing to you every day. Even if 15 minutes a day is all the time you can spare, aren't you worth it? The correct answer here is yes. Do something just for you, that you love, that makes you happy and whole. Balance and center with some quiet and calm time for you. You'll be amazed what a little you time can do for you. You will slowly but surly start to notice those aches and pains slowly fading away, or maybe you start sleeping better at night. Ah, the magic! If you would like help in easing the aches and pains of life that is possibly of a deeper emotional energy that needs released, please reach out for a 15 minute consultation.

Love and light, Nicole start recovering now from past trauma or ptsd with reiki
Everyone in their lives at one point or another has encountered a scary situation that we call trauma. Fear is created in the mind from any type of trauma or deeply emotional event, such as an abusive childhood home, being physically or mentally abused, or even the loss of a loved one. Or in the case of PTSD, a fear could develop days, months, or even years after experiencing a dangerous or potentially life threatening situation. Some recover naturally from feelings of trauma by working through them, while others struggle and fight to simply continue to live a normal daily life. While one fear may seem to be minuscule to some, it could be detrimental to the emotional well-being of another. One can never truly understand the repercussions of trauma unless they've experienced their own or are standing by someone close to them having gone through it. Reiki can be used to find calm and inner peace on a soul level to assist with healing their energetically turmoil. Trauma affects all of us. You could be dealing with the pain of being the victim of a trauma or you could be the family desperately trying to assist your loved one through the horrific events of that trauma. The end result is the same. We are all affected and these things can make you feel detached, lost, irritable, depressed, anxious or even highly reactive to a very normal daily situation. Trauma doesn't have to define you though. You can choose to change the course of your life by focusing on healing yourself or those pained loved ones around you. Reiki is a healing tool that can be used to calm and nurture the energetic soul. I found an informative article that I'd like to share: Reiki and Post Traumatic-Stress Disorder by Kathie Lapinski, RN, MSN, CH. It explains PTSD, symptoms, causes, fight-or-flight response, war, the energetic dynamics of trauma and so much more. Please share this article with anyone you know that could benefit from it, is dealing with PTSD or trauma in their life or the life of a loved one. The more we know about trauma and PTSD, the more we can help. We all could stand to help those in need and be a bigger part of a solution to a life altering situation in our loved ones lives. People suffering from this horrific illness are all around you. They could be your friends, your neighbors, people in your community. Please share this article with everyone so that we can find compassion, be a support system, empower people in need with strength and help to heal their soul. Learn How to release the tension in your body through meditation
We all hold tension from the stresses in our daily lives within our physical form. Sometimes, we just need a reset and take a much needed break from the craziness of life. Holding tension, can not only be uncomfortable and restricting of our muscles, but sometimes your body tries to let you know it's time to rest showing as daily aches and pains. As we get older might attribute these aches and pains to the mere fact that we're getting older, saying things such as, “The body's not as young as it used to be.” While that statement may be very true, this is not the case at all. Especially when you read about these 50, 60, 70, and even 80 year old people now taking their fitness to a whole new level and getting in the best shape of their lives. Don't fool yourself...these daily aches and pains are you body's way of telling you to take notice, and take some time to reset. If you keep ignoring it, you will soon wish you hadn't. One way of releasing the tension within your body is to simply meditate. Meditation is simply bringing together the mind, body and spirit! Time for self love and healing will make all of the different in your physical body as well as your emotional self. You'll find that you are more clear and focused, grounded and centered. You may even find that you sleep better just by taking a bit of time for you to quiet that chatter. Here are just a few of the many benefits of mediation: assists chronic inflammation, aids in digestion, assists mental stability, assists in overcoming OCD, soothes PTSD, assists with eating disorders, substance abuse, increases mental clarity and better concentration, promotes a healthy heart, reduces symptoms of anxiety, along with many more benefits of greater health and well-being. I hold weekly guided meditation sessions at The Salt Hut in Oxford, PA, as well as I've created numerous guided meditations in electronic form for those who are not in my area. These meditations are created with the music of my Crystal Chakra Singing Bowls to boost the healing and harmonizing of the Chakras with sound. Each mediation is very different with a different goal in mind. Some are very basic relaxation techniques through meditation and others are for those who are looking for a deeper level of healing and guidance in their journey of life and healing themselves, finding their greater purpose in life, receiving intuition from their higher self, or meeting their guides. There's a taste for the beginners of meditation as well as those who've been meditating for some time. I've recorded two specific hour long meditations for the body and releasing tension. The first meditation for the body is called body scan. It's a simple scan of your entire body to release the tension where it's being stored. This meditation allows you to just experience and feel your entire body deeply. It will help you to become aware of the parts of your body that hold the most tension and guides you in releasing it. The second body mediation is called Talk to Your Body – Prompt It To Go Back To Perfect Health. This meditation guides you to speak to your unconscious mind in the reprogramming of each body part, each system, organ, muscle, and cell. Just as you people use affirmations to recondition their thoughts, you can speak to your unconscious mind and tell it exactly how it should function according to your needs. I particularly like this one, because you are guided to use it for the specific needs of your body. As an example, if you have a terrible memory like I do, you can speak to your unconscious mind, letting it know that it's brain memory should function perfectly. Or in the case of a medical issue, you would reprogram your mind and your body to know the exact way it should be functioning. Oh, the power of mediation. If we all just took the much needed time for ourselves to reset and heal the way our bodies were intended, we would all be so much healthier. Imagine what more you could accomplish in your life if you just stopped briefly enough every day to practice some self love. Aren't you worth it?
