Overcome Fear with Reiki

by Christy DeArment, posted in REIKI TECHNIQUES

Did you know you can use Reiki to overcome fear and live more empowered and free? Our modern society is plagued with fear which underlies our laws, politics, schools, medicine, finances, relationships, etc.

This culture of fear infiltrates into our personal life. Often we are unaware that fear is the underlying motivation for our actions.

When you are in your power, you base your choices on love and experience more freedom and joy. It’s important for each of us to transform our fears.

When we step into our innate loving, soul empowered natures, we help anchor the higher dimensional frequencies onto the Earth. When you realize you are a whole, divine, unlimited being you can’t be harmed. Your soul level self knows that all is well, always.

When you stay centered in your loving vibration you don’t add to the darkness of fear when a major world or local event happens. Yes, very real and disturbing things happen in the world. Yet, it is your choice how you react to them.

Are you powerful enough to keep shining your light? I believe you are. I know you are. And when you need help to stay anchored in your loving soul light, Reiki is there for you.

How to address your personal fears.

overcome fear with Reiki

One of the most effective ways personally find to address your fears is knowing that you will be okay no matter what. The underlying basis is knowing that you are an eternal being. So even you were to die, you would be okay. Here this is all about getting into your soul level perspective.

Pay attention to your thoughts. Notice when you start to want to control situations and experiences and others. You are in an underlying state of fear when this happens.

Accept yourself when fear happens. It happens to all of us. Mentally judging yourself for feeling fearful only makes it worse. For example, if you are in the passenger seat and telling yourself that even if you are in an accident you will be okay isn’t helping.

Accept that you are feeling some fear or anxiety and that is okay. Turn on your Reiki and allow the Reiki to start to calm your nerves and get you back into a more relaxed state.

How Reiki helps overcome fear.

Overcome fear with Reiki

Reiki helps you overcome fear by helping you stay in the present moment. Just like the Reiki ideals remind us with the words “just for today” to stay centered in the now. Reiki will help ground you in the now which is where your power is.

If you are feeling fear you are either in the future worrying about something happening. Or you are in the past, worrying about something unwanted from the past happening again.

If your fear is based on something happening in the present, you will be guided as to how to best handle the situation. Remember you are an unlimited, eternal being. Your soul level self with direct you to safety.

If you find your mind acting like a runaway train of fear based thoughts, you can turn on your Reiki and watch your thoughts. It might take a few minutes, but the Reiki will start to slow the out of control train of thought by adding peace and love to your mental body.

The Reiki will also help you with self love and acceptance when you are experiencing fear. Reiki is love. As it flows into your energetic and physical body it will gently dispel the fear energy and replace it with love. You become anchored in the vibration of love as the Reiki performs its healing.

You will find it much easier with Reiki to ground into your divine spiritual perspective and calm your human mind.

Your physical stress reactions will be cleared as your nervous system and endocrine system relax with the Reiki. So you can approach the situations in your live with more love and acceptance.

Remember to turn on your Reiki when you are feeling fear or anxiety. Use the mental/emotional symbol if you are attuned to Reiki II. The root chakra, head, heart and belly are good places to Reiki yourself or another who is feeling fear. Give Reiki to situations that have a strong fear charge to promote peaceful and loving outcomes.

In loving light,

Spark Joy in Your Life with Reiki

by Christy DeArment, posted in REIKI TECHNIQUES
Rainbows always spark joy for me

My guides have always taught me to go towards what brings me joy in life. Abraham (law of attraction) and Anastasia (Ringing Cedars) teach that we are meant to feel good and joyful in life. With the beginning of the new year and Netflix’s new show “Tiding Up” with Marie Kondo, I have been pondering joy.

How do you define Joy?

What sensations do you feel when you think of the word joy? I often have associated the word joy with feeling like I’m flying high, super excited, smiles, laughter, feeling like my feet are not even touching the ground. But maybe, joy is something more than just feeling super elated?

expanding your definition of joy

When meditating upon things that bring me joy, even with Reiki turned on, I found it a little hard at first. I started out looking for monumental things. It doesn’t help when my mind was already focused on stressful mundane things, like finances and schedules. It was challenging for me to find a joyful thought at first.

I took the pressure off myself to think of out of the ordinary things, like flying in a hot air balloon or getting a kiss from a sea lion.

I started thinking about things I appreciate, like having a warm bed and a loving dog cuddling next to me. Then I started to feel my vibration and emotional state rising. Meditating on things that brought joy became easier once I opened my perception of joy.

One of the things that I saw in my mind was fruit, papaya and melons. I even saw a head of cauliflower. I felt joy that those images popped in my mind when I was looking for what brings me joy. Such simple things, and fruits and vegetables, truly do spark my joy with the added benefit of sparking health.

Horses and dogs bring me joy too!

That’s when it struck me that joy really is simple. And when you start looking for moments of joy, no matter how small, they really add up. Those tiny sparks ignite a growing fire of joyful passion. Instead of thinking about joy being like someone winning $15 million, I started to think about a happy monk sitting in nature.

When I feel joy, I notice a warm, bubbling feeling in my heart chakra. This feeling can sometimes expand throughout my whole body and aura. I also noticed that I feel grounded in the present moment during moments of joy.

Joy truly is felt in the moment, even if you are thinking about something in the past or imagining something that will happen in the future.

Your vibration makes a difference

Did you know that the more love, joy and appreciation you feel not only alters your life, it can shift the course of humanity? Yes, you sitting alone in your room can add light to the world around. We are all co-creating with the divine light and the more love and pure vibration you hold positively effects us all. Each and every one of us makes a difference.

Meditating on Joy with Reiki

I like to do this right when I wake up in the morning. But you can do this anytime of day. Just turn on your Reiki if you are attuned and allow your mind to wander towards things that you associate with joy.

I find it helpful to focus on things that don’t hold contradictory energy. For example, if you think of a person, you may have all sorts of thoughts run through your head. Try and focus on a trait you love about them, or a funny moment or a happy memory.

In the beginning you may want to keep it truly simple. Things like looking at a sunset, feeling the ocean on your feet, the first time you saw your baby’s face.

Believe me the more you start to look for things that spark joy in your life, the more things you begin to notice.

When Joy feels out of REach

And if joy seems like too far to reach for right now, go for satisfaction. Things that make you feel satisfied or even things that bring you relief. Before you know it, your emotional set point will have risen and joy won’t seem like such a stretch.

So go ahead and give it a try. Turn on your Reiki when you wake up and mediate on things you associate with joy. Set your alarm a few minutes early if you need to.

And of course, you can do this meditation even if you aren’t attuned to Reiki. But Reiki will make it easier. Reiki is love and raises your vibration. This meditation is a good thing to try while you are receiving Continuous Distant Reiki.

Bubble always inspire my joy too!
What sparks your joy?

Need help finding your joy? I’m here to help you strip away the energy blocking your joy with Reiki.

In loving light,

Christy

Reiki Transforms Your Relationship with Pain and Stress

by Christy DeArment, posted in REIKI TECHNIQUES

Reiki helps with painHave you ever found yourself experiencing physical pain so strong you can’t stand up? Have you felt emotional pain so severe you thought your heart would explode?  Have you lived through stress so intense you felt you were losing your mind? Have you faced financial pressure that made you want to crack? Have you survived the spiritually profound dark night of the soul?  Or perhaps you are experiencing some of this now.

Everyone has lived through some sort of painful experience. You aren’t alone. I know I have had my share of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual pain. Reiki has helped me positively evolve my relationship with pain.

Earlier this month, I found myself in intense abdominal pain for over an hour. I couldn’t stand up and it came in waves. It kind of reminded me of being in labor.

At first I wanted to resist the pain. It really has been a long time since I have felt physical pain that severe. I consciously had to remember my mental tools to handle pain. I know that resisting what I’m experiencing makes it worse.

I remembered to invite the pain in and to let it move through me. I reminded myself that I am an unlimited spiritual being and I can handle this. Pain is just a label we give to energy moving through us. I surrender to the experience and let it move through.

In case you were wondering, I had turned on the Reiki right away. The Reiki is always my first impulse to handle anything that comes my way.

The things I was guided to do for myself were to breathe deeply, drink lemon water, celery juice and lastly use anise raven essential oil. The pain went away and was replaced with a healing fever.

I have been pondering the ways we experience pain in our lives and how we resist it. Whether it is relationship hurts, emotional pain, mental stress, spiritual discomfort, we often want it to stop and wish it wasn’t happening.

When you are resisting something you contract your energy. Your breathing becomes shallow. Your mind closes. You start to feel small and powerless in your life. You try to maintain control instead of surrendering to the wisdom and compassion of the universe.

Reiki helps you move out of resistance and into the flow of all that is. Reiki helps you tap into your unlimited and expansive inner power. It can help you be with ‘what is’ in your life without judging it as good or bad, right or wrong.

Once you release resistance and feel peace with the way things are, everything is free to change. Pain diminishes, relationships shift, finances improve, depression lifts. Sometimes instantly, often more gradually.

The Reiki will help you keep your vibration high and aware of your unlimited inner being. Next time you are in the middle of a painful experience, imagine divine white light or Reiki moving through your energy field. Feel it connecting you to the Earth to keep you grounded and release any unwanted energy. Feel the to connection in your heart to the infinite healing light of all that is. Remember you are part of all that is. And you are powerful and unlimited.

When the Reiki is flowing to you, you can Reiki relieffeel or imagine the light of the universe moving through your energy field. You can more easily feel your connection with all that is.

The Reiki helps to keep your mind open and release mental resistance. The mental resistance seems to make the pain worse and linger longer.

Remembering that what you are going through won’t break you because you are an eternal and unlimited being really does help.

When you know you are an unlimited spiritual being, it’s so much easier to believe you can handle what is moving through you. Reiki is high vibrating and loving energy that aligns you with your unlimited spiritual power.

Reiki will guide you towards what will help you feel better. The Reiki helps to clear your mind, heal your heart and to erase physical pain.

The Reiki will help center and ground you. Once your mind is more clear and you are grounded, you start to receive ideas and impulses for what will help you the most in the situation you are in.

If you need help moving through some pain in your life or remembering your unlimited potential, I am happy to support you with Reiki.

In loving Reiki light,

Reiki First Response

by Christy DeArment, posted in REIKI TECHNIQUES

After being on the scene for a wilderness rescue in the same week that a good friend was first on the scene of a car accident, I have been thinking about how wonderful Reiki is for first response in emergency situations.

When I was visiting my sister in Sedona in March, we were enjoying relaxing by the creek. We heard a man calling for help. At first we weren’t sure if he was actually asking for help or playing around with his friends. We knew he was with at least two other people. We heard him yelling,”I am over here! I fell off the mountain!”  We gathered that he had at least broken his leg as we listened to him calling out in pain and agony. We couldn’t see him from where we were.

rescue 1I knew we had to help. My sister went to find him, make sure his friends were with him and to get to higher ground to call 911. There was no signal where we were. I remained at our spot by the creek nearby and immediately started sending Reiki. The Reiki was flowing strongly with my hands getting super hot.

I learned from my daughter’s friend that you can call 911 with no service.  I tried it and it worked. I also learned not to assume that the local first responders know the area well. None of them had been down to this part of the creek. They went to the wrong place at first and it took them over an hour to get to this man. Had I known this, I would have stayed on the phone with 911 and given very detailed directions.

While we awaited the EMT’s, I stayed where I was relaxing by the creek. I kept sending Reiki that everyone would be guided on what to do and to help the victim with his injuries. The victim was in an out of consciousness and growing weaker. We hoped the rescuers would be there before it was too late. I could feel the Reiki soothing him and performing  its magical healing. His injuries turned out to be a broken arm, leg, ribs, punctured lung. And that’s just what the first responders could tell.

My sister helped the first responders locate the victim. She also was giving them advice on the best path out and helping them carry equipment. Lots of choices were made. One being for them to call in the helicopter instead of taking him out on the trail. I trust the Reiki helped them all work together for the best possible outcome for this young man.

Looking back on this incident, it was amazing to see a rescue happen first hand. People really do come together. Everyone does the best they can in the moment. Everyone does what they are guided to do.

My first response is always Reiki. And I am best with a small layer of separation if possible. Although in this situation, if my sister had not checked on him I would have gone to him.

I remember during that hour we waited for the emergency responders, I tapped into the energy of people all over the world responding to crisis situations. I connected to all the other people who were sending Reiki in first response to an emergency. I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Then I tapped into the energy of wellness happening in the world. The wellness always far outweighs the turmoil. There is wellness even in a crisis if you look for it. You can always connect with the feelings of love and peace within you no matter what is happening around you. I found aligning with the inner calm within me was very powerful. I know the Reiki facilitated that blissful feeling, even when I knew there was a man suffering nearby.

Always remember you have far more to offer from your place of well-being than from your place of worry and fear. And no matter how you personally feel when you send Reiki to someone, the Reiki will enter them feeling like love and peace. It won’t transfer your nervous energy or fear to the receiver.Rescue 2

I also was acutely aware of not being attached to the outcome in this instance. Of course, my human mind wanted him to live to tell about surviving his fall off a cliff. But I also knew, that the Reiki would help him cross over if it was meant to be for him. I believe this man lived through this experience. Part of not being attached to the results in this instance was not being attached to knowing the outcome at all.

We left when they asked us to clear the area for the helicopter. We knew that we had helped all we could at this point.

Should you find yourself in an emergency situation here are some helpful suggestions for giving Reiki as first response:

  1. Turn on your Reiki!
  2. Trust your guidance.
  3. Call 911 even if you have no signal or you think someone else may have called.
  4. Ask the Reiki to insulate you from the trauma and keep you grounded.
  5. Send Reiki to the injured.
  6. Send Reiki to those on the scene helping. The Reiki will support the best course of action to unfold. It will help those involved make decisions that serve the highest good, by helping them stay clear, focused and open to infinite wisdom.
  7. Send Reiki to the emergency professionals. They are working hard and doing their best.
  8. For the victim(s), I think the best choice is hands off, beaming, unless you personally know the person. Of course, ask permission if you can or send with the intention that the injured person receives based on their free will. Remember if you are directly with the injured, don’t move them. Just help them stay calm where they are with Reiki.
  9. Trust the Reiki to work for the highest good of all concerned. Release your attachments to the results
  10. When it’s all over, remember to give yourself Reiki to sooth and calm your own nervous system. A good place to Reiki yourself is your mid-back, adrenal glands. You can also Reiki your root chakra to ground yourself.

You are far more powerful in offering assistance if you stay centered in your love and light. If an injured person feels your fear and worry, you add to their fear and worry. The Reiki adds strength, love and peace. Trust that you are helping far more than you may ever know by mediating and sending Reiki. And don’t worry if you are feeling off center, the Reiki will still work in calming them and you.

I’m sure that Reiki in its infinite wisdom places Reiki practitioners where they are most needed in any given moment. It could be you first on the scene one day. I hope this article helps you feel more prepared.

In loving Reiki light,

The Healing Benefits of Going Barefoot With Reiki.

by Christy DeArment, posted in REIKI TECHNIQUES

www.thereikimuse.comAre you feeling scattered, drained, anxious, having trouble sleeping or headaches? A free healing session is just beneath your feet.

Going barefoot allows the Earth to scan your feet and give energy reflexology to your body where you need it. The energy will actually travel to your organs, like in reflexology.  Walking barefoot also stimulates your healing reflexes when uneven ground or rocks press into the soles of your feet.

When you sit or stand barefoot on the Earth, also called Earthing, you may notice a warm soothing energy radiate up your feet, legs and into the rest of your body. The Earth energy feels very similar to Reiki. The Earth energy has the ability to heal, sooth and reset our energy bodies.

The Earth gets to know you and gives you just what you need energetically, just like Reiki does.  The Earth feels your unique energetic imprint and supports your varying needs.

The Earth gives us negative charged electrons which neutralize free radicals in our body.  Earth energy acts like an antioxidant. Being in direct contact with the Earth stimulates the body’s self-repair systems, just like Reflexology and Reiki do. The sun sends charged particles to the Earth and then the Earth shares this beneficial energy with us.

The best way to Earth and absorb the healing and nourishing energy is to be barefoot on the ground or sit on a cotton sheet or blanket. Walking on the beach or sitting on grass are very beneficial.  The Earth is basically sharing electrical currents of energy with you, so think moisture which conducts electricity.  Wood, rubber, plastic don’t conduct electricity.

Some of the healing benefits of Earthing are:
  • improved circulation
  • better sleep
  • reduced anxiety
  • increased energy and metabolism
  • feeling more centered and present (grounded)
  • decreased inflammation
  • balanced hormones
  • calms the nervous system
  • improved immunity

Sounds like some of the same benefits of Reiki and Reflexology, right?

If you are attuned to Reiki, give yourself the added benefit of a self Reiki session while you Earth.  It’s a good idea to spend about 5-20 minutes a day Earthing, longer if you can.  I know when I do, I always feel recharged and uplifted.

How can you Earth when ground is snow-covered or it’s too cold outside?  Well if you’re like me, you may find yourself sitting on a clear patch of ground that is not covered in snow in the blustery wind for a few minutes just because it feels so good.  It’s surprisingly warm.

Here’s a simple meditation to use Reiki to connect with that loving, nourishing and healing Earth energy.

You can try this if the weather is not conducive to walking barefoot or you live in the city.  You can do this outside, close to the ground, if you can.  It will also work indoors.

  • Breathe deeply.
  • If you’re not outside, imagine yourself sitting directly on the ground.
  • Send Reiki to the center of the Earth.
  • Feel your heart lovingly connecting with the Earth’s heart chakra deep in the Earth.
  • Feel appreciation for your connection with the Earth and all the loving support she gives freely while the Reiki continues to flow.
  • Intend that the Reiki and Earth energy travel up your Earth Star and Root chakras into your body. Imagine the Earth energy going up your feet. You can even create a Reiki shower to keep the energy flowing for longer  to ground and charge you. (Instead of having the shower coming down from the top, have it spout up from beneath you.)
  • Allow your energy and heart beat to sync with the Earth energy and heart beat.
  • Keep feeling the Reiki facilitate your connection with the grounding Earth energy knowing the divine energy in your heart is connected with the Earth’s divine light.

Giving the Earth Reiki while she gives you her healing energy is such a mutually beneficial relationship.  Even if you aren’t attuned to Reiki, the Earth feels the healing effect of your love and appreciation.

Happy Earthing!

Christy
