Meditations: Easy steps to start

Lately Angels have been saying us to connect through mediations. And bring in more mindfulness in our lives. So I thought I would share some information and techniques here

The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the vibrations of the world are at their calmest. Make an early start even by 10 min . Meditate, set the switch of your consciousness and calibrate your energy for the day. You'll be surprised the difference it makes to the quality of life and health and much more deeper benefits over the time.

Preparation
Find a room/ space in your home where you will be undisturbed. If you want you can prepare the room  with a lighted candle, lighted incense, or aromatherapy oils to purify the space. Make sure the room is warm, and that the lighting is soft. This is time out for you, your time away from all other responsibilities. Stay away from all the distraction of mobile or household chores etc. everything can wait for 10 min .

Here are the simple Methods that we can adapt to daily meditation routines
1. Firstly relax about meditation it's something we all can do and should do 
2. It's easy and fun
3. Start with little time dedicated have alarm
4. Bring it into daily practice by dedication same time every day could be 5 min or 10 min
5. Let go of any fears associated with word 'Meditation'
6. Release any expectations
7. Repeat 'I can do Mediation' Affirmation
8. Be Grateful at the end. Once your practice is through, spend 2-3 minutes feeling appreciative of the opportunity to practice and your mind’s ability to focus.

There are few techniques I tried initially before settling to my favorite one. Stick to one technique in order to get the best results.

1. Breathing techniques: 
Just focus on Breathe in and Out from Abdomen and focus on the sound and visualise the air going in and coming out. As Oxygen is going in visualize its cleaning the body inside and as breath out let the tension in body come out 
Feel your body parts. A great practice for beginning mediators is to take notice of the body when a meditative state starts to take hold. Once the mind quiets, put all your attention to the feet and then slowly move your way up the body (include your internal organs). This is very healthy and an indicator that you are on the right path.
1. Candle technique
Relax your breath and sit comfortably and light a candle. Gaze at the spark of the light for 5 min and see the aura around the candle and beautiful shades of colour.
Or you can use Crystal as well.
2. Mantra Technique
This involves which involves repeating a mantra (a sound, word or phrase) over and over, until you silence the mind and enter a deep meditative state. The mantra can be anything you choose, as long as it is easy to remember. Like to Start with OM, Om Mani Padme Hum, Or any Reiki symbols.
I usually use the rosary beads to use to remind I have done 108 times to start with. Seems long but believe takes no more than 3 min.
3. Guided meditations 

Reiki for Children

It’s the Summer holidays and lot of parents worry about kids when they fall, hurt or while traveling on holidays and back to school time. Yes when schools reopen the sickness rate rises as kids are having low immune system. Constantly as a parent we keep worrying about the health and wellness of family and children and never a quiet moment. And worries are the negative patterns and energies. Which do no good to any one of us.

 So wanted to share the benefits of Reiki and how it brings calmness and relaxation and many more benefits for us. Would like to share some of my own experience of how Reiki helped me so this could help you as well by making you more calm and relaxed and help you enjoy the holiday season that extra bit.

Reiki has the ability to heal, comfort and bond with our children at the touch of our hands.  Reiki provides peace of mind for the parents by knowing they can be an active part in their children’s recovery by simply laying Reiki charged hands on their babies.

Using Reiki helps me because I know I’m actually doing something for my children.  I know I’m helping bring about my child’s well-being by just laying my hands on my kids.  Reiki fastens recovery while reducing the severity of the symptoms.

Some examples when Reiki came has been very helpful with my children:

First Aid:  Reiki is always available, I don’t need to remember to bring it along in my handbag.  My first aid is Reiki until I can get to a band-aid or its quick fix for me.

My Eldest daughter fell down in front of the house and her forehead got hurt and was bleeding and in mean we took her in and was thinking what first aid to apply and then I did Reiki for 10 minutes which calmed and soothed her. In mean time we observed the injury was very deep cut and took her to GP and then to Emergency department for the stiches. Next day she went into surgery to get the stiches and all way I was giving here Reiki and which meant I was calm and relaxed and that made her calm and in few days she recovered so well with no issues and no side effects from surgery. Or the stiches. The wound healed faster.

Hospital/Surgery: Should your child ever need to be in the hospital Reiki can sooth your nerves while helping your child at the same time.

Another instance when I used Reiki was during my daughter’s Ear surgery.  I was able to be with her and Reiki her while she was being put under general anesthesia.  I was in the waiting room sending Reiki. And in no time she recovered so well and no side effects. And this has a great effect on the anxiety when one is in hospital. And Pre and post surgery anxiety and nerves for both parents and children.

Honestly, at times like these, I am helping myself feel better as much as helping my child.  I know the Reiki is fostering well-being, but  knowing I can be of comfort with my Reiki filled hands helps me trust in the healing process.

Illness:  Reiki boosters the immune system.  So before or after the first sign of illness sets in, I use Reiki on my children.  Fevers are another great time for using Reiki.  I am of the mindset to let fevers run their course since they bring about healing.

Many illnesses just take time for recovery.  It brings peace of mind while waiting for recuperation that I can be helping with Reiki.

Soothing emotions:  Growing children have lots of hormones coursing through their bodies which can lead to moodiness at times.  Children also experience sadness and grief and the full range of emotions just like adults do.  There’s nothing better than holding my daughters and giving Reiki filled hugs to settle the upsets.

Away from home:  Another bonus with Reiki is the ability to send distant Reiki to my daughters even if they aren’t with me.  When they are with friends, at school, or traveling I just send them distant Reiki to ensure their well-being. Rather than worrying for their wellness.

Reiki empowers parents when raising children by giving them the ability to help with the touch of their hands.  Reiki provides opportunity for bonding and cuddling while simultaneously bringing about well-being.  Reiki allows for fulfilling relationships with your children.  The ability to use Reiki during the most challenging times of being a parent uplifts and brings relief.

I highly encourage parents to learn Reiki. You and your family will be happy you did.

For those of You who are already attuned to Reiki… Reiki your children often.

Reiki Blessings to You and yours!
