Level 1 Reiki - Tips To Keep Your Confidence High

Introduction

During a Reiki Level 1 course, most students find it easy to connect to Reiki energy. They also find it easy to do the meditation exercises that are taught to strengthen it.

Not so afterwards.

In the days following a course it quite often happens that students not only begin to feel a bit lost, they also struggle to reconnect to everything that previously came so easily to them.

From there it is not unusual for students to gradually decrease the amount of Reiki they practice until eventually they are overrun by everyday concerns and stop altogether.

How then can you make sure your Reiki doesn't slip into the 'I'm-too-busy-to-do-it' box? How can you ensure that your Reiki ability improves rather than fades?

This article looks at some simple things you should both know and do to keep your confidence sky high while you continue to develop your Reiki.

Be Consistent With Your Practice

The first thing to ensure after you have finished your course is that you are consistent with your practice. You may be busy, you may not always wish to do it; but it is essential. Make a commitment to do some Reiki every day for 21 days and you will find that everything you have learnt is not only consolidated, but also improved.

Two things to remember:

  1. A little bit of practice every day of the week is a lot better than a lot of practice on just one day of the week. Consistency is the key to good results. Do a bit of practice each day and you will be surprised by what you achieve.
  2. You won't need to practice every day forever. Once you have consolidated your Reiki you will probably get good results even if you miss a day or two of practice. Just don't miss too many days early on, because if you do you will not only get into a bad habit that could be difficult to shake, you may also find yourself getting less predictable results. (Note: It is important to remember that you can never lose your ability to do Reiki after you have been attuned - not even if you stop practicing. All that happens is that your sensitivity and ability to channel decrease - something that is reversible with practice.)

Ideally, your teacher will you give you a 21-programme to follow as well as an instruction manual. An e-programme is probably best, as it can be delivered to your inbox every day, thus nudging you towards consistent practice.

Have Faith - Reiki Always Works!

A problem for beginners is often that their Reiki ability doesn't seem consistent. One day energy is flying everywhere, the next they can barely feel a thing. Does this mean their Reiki ability has suddenly dropped off? Or could there be other explanations?

What you need to remember is that there can be many reasons for energy fluctuations. For instance:

  1. Your body has reached a saturation point and doesn't need any more energy at present.
  2. Your energy is working on an emotional, rather than physical level.
  3. You can't feel as much energy flowing out of your hands because the energy channels in them have expanded. To understand this, think of these energy circuits to be like a pipeline: at first you are using a small one that struggles to cope with even modest amounts of energy flowing through it; later, your 'pipeline' widens so you can fit more energy in - energy that may well seem less voluminous because the pressure is not so great.

The best idea is simply to study your emotional / health state over a period of time (i.e. at least a week). If it is improving then things are going well - even if you can't always feel the Reiki doing a lot of good.

Finally, remember that Reiki always works - even if you can't see how. This might sound like unsupported faith, but it's true. Just ask all experienced practitioners. The thing to remember is simply that there are not always obvious short term results. Over time, however, you will see the benefits. You might just need to be patient.

Practice on Friends and Family

A great way to grow in confidence is by practicing on other people. Since it is generally easier to do Reiki on others than yourself (you feel more, they feel more!), it is a great way to boost your confidence and get valuable feedback.

It's also a great way to overcome the natural tendency to explain away all Reiki sensations as pure imagination. After all, if someone tells you they feel energetic pulsations or heat, it's hard not to believe them. If you experience them yourself, it is easy to think you are just imagining it.

Speak to Your Teacher

It's amazing how few students contact their teacher after a course - even if they have lots of questions. This is especially odd given how open most teachers are to supporting their students.

So call or write to your teacher if you have a question. Don't stay troubled and do nothing about it. If you do, you only have yourself to blame.

Conclusion

When doing Reiki, results will always vary. It is therefore important not to become overly attached to short term results. Just do your best and leave everything else to the 'gods'. This approach gives you the best chance of being a clear Reiki 'channel' - and the clearer the channel, the better the results!

how to weight loss with healthy way


Eating and regular exercise are correct, but maybe how to eat and exercise are still wrong. Weight-loss diet is to eliminate body fat while maintaining minimal or even increase your muscle mass, because muscle mass is a quality fat burning machine in the body. Diet to reduce body fat percentage is by eating healthy foods 5-6 times a day with small portions are (to stop eating before satiety is reached). Destination eat more often in smaller portions is that the body's metabolism becomes more active throughout the day, while the levels of the hormone insulin (a hormone that instructs the body to store energy reserves by forming new fat cells) in our body will be stable, not up and down drastically result rarely ate, so as not to make the body tends to store fat. Many people also suggested that reducing the number of daily meals as reduced carbohydrate generally or often called low-carb diet. If the amount of carbohydrate food sources instead of the much reduced, the body will gradually become weak, lose the endurance, make a weight loss plans and do fitness because of the lack of adequate nutrition for 24 hours is the best way.Nutritional insufficiency will also inhibit the body to produce glutathione as the best natural antioxidants for our immune system. So true it reduce the number of calories of food and choose foods that are low-glycemic indexed being, not reduce the amount / volume of our daily diet. We can actually eat, but changed its menu, especially foods that are sources of carbohydrates. Select and consumption of healthy menus, high fiber, slow absorption helpless, filling, speed up metabolism and at the same time that will increase the burning of body fat. Try to choose different types of variations of healthy foods that have a low glycemic index-being.

Comparison of food composition and healthy ideal of proteins, carbohydrates and fats for who want to lose body fat and replace it with quality muscle mass is 50%: 40%: 10%. Carbohydrates should be consumed is that having a low glycemic index-being. The glycemic index is between 56-69 and the low was 55 below. Eating foods with a glycemic index lower satiety benefits are longer because more slowly absorbed by the body to be so less sugar also are used as energy reserves in the form of fats by the hormone insulin us. For example brown rice, whole wheat bread, pasta, oatmeal, yams, cassava, as well as nuts of peas, green beans, red beans; vegetables an especially broccoli, carrots, green beans and the green vegetables like collards, spinach, kale , fruits of a sweet taste and fibrous such as apples, star fruit, pear, papaya, tomatoes etc. Eat high protein from beef for example has the / tenderloin / sirloin top low-fat (lean meat), skinless chicken breasts, skinless turkey breast, tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, egg whites, tofu and Tempe, cottage cheese low-fat, low-fat yogurt, soy milk, etc.. So as much as possible not to eat white rice. Stop or reduce as much sugar, fried foods, fatty foods bad (saturated fat) and foods too sweet, salty and savory. So, eat only foods that are boiled, steamed or baked it. If you still need to fry, use canola oil which contains almost no bad fats. Use a diet of sugar to taste if it still needs as much sugar 1-2 teaspoons a day. Drink non-fat milk on a regular basis, rather than low-fat milk. Consume 1-1.5 grams of calcium per day from non-fat milk will help to reduce your fat percentage when consumed regularly for several months.
