How to Reiki Charge a Candle

How to Reiki Charge a Candle



Since Reiki is a universal life energy, it can be stored in almost anything. Everything is capable of storing Reiki energy, and many Reiki practitioners charge various objects with Reiki energy in order to increase the amount of Reiki they can infuse into their clients during a treatment. Reiki practitioners can also charge such items as candles with Reiki energy in order to provide their loved ones with some Reiki in order to improve their spiritual well being.









1


Purchase some ordinary candles. Many places, such as Candles4Less, sell candles in bulk, and can easily be accessed online (See Resources below). Buying candles in bulk can save a lot of money, and instead of charging each candle with Reiki individually, the entire box can be charged in one session.





2


Choose whether or not to buy scented candles. Scented candles work very well with Reiki, as their smell adds an aromatherapy aspect to the Reiki released by burning the candle. However, make sure that a recipient is not put off by the smell of the scented candle, or worse, is allergic to the scent.





3


Wash your hands, then soak them in a bowl of water before placing them on the candle to charge it with Reiki. Dirty hands can impede the flow of Reiki energy, as can jewelry. Make sure that your hands are completely free of any objects that may interfere with the transfer of Reiki into the candle.





4


Charge the candle with Reiki energy. Place your hands on the candle, almost as though caressing it, then begin charging the candle with Reiki energy. Don't worry about what kind of Reiki energy is being charged with or about how it is supposed to heal the recipient, since Reiki energy is supposed to go where it is most needed on a person.





5


Store the candles or send them to loved ones. Candles charged with Reiki energy can be stored indefinitely, especially since Reiki energy does not wear out. However you may want to charge up candles that have been stored for over a year with some extra Reiki energy, in order to better reflect your ability to channel Reiki and your thoughts on the recipient in question.








Tips & Warnings










Any type of candle can be charged with Reiki, so don't feel confined to just one kind. Friends with a religious bent may appreciate some votive candles charged with Reiki energy. People who have an affection for antiques may appreciate an old-fashioned type of candle charged with Reiki, while friends who have an appreciation of alternative and holistic medicine might prefer a natural beeswax candle charged with Reiki.

How to Regrow Lost Hair the Natural Way

How to Regrow Lost Hair the Natural Way



Using harsh chemicals to regrow hair is not the best idea in the world as they can be very dangerous and sometimes cause more damage than healing. There are natural ways to stop hair loss and regrow lost hair.







Things You'll Need:





Biotin




Iodine




Collagen




Olive oil









1


Rub the scalp. Doing so gently does have a stimulating effect on the hair follicles. Scratching the scalp is not good for the follicles.





2


Obtain a bottle of olive oil, because this is very useful in regrowing hair. Place a drop or two of the oil on your finger and rub your palms together to spread the oil over both hands. Now spread it very carefully into the balding area of your hair. This is messy of course, and can make your hair greasy so it not advisable to use this technique when you have to be somewhere in public. Use it when you have several hours to yourself and won't need to wash your hair for a while.





3


Purchase a bottle of biotin, and take two of them a couple times a day. Biotin is a B vitamin and is very useful in regrowing hair. Be patient as it could take several doses before you start to notice a difference. Probably the first difference you will see is that your hair is no longer falling out the way it was before.





4


A drop of iodine in a glass of water taken once each day will regrow your lost hair. The stuff is potent though, so make sure you only take one drop each time. It is expensive, but it is worth it to get your own natural hair back and improve your health at the same time. While it is true that there is such a thing as iodized salt, there is barely enough iodine present to honestly declare that it is there.





5


Try collagen. This nutrient is excellent for the body's cell walls including hair cells and follicles. It can take quite a few of these per day to help strengthen and regrow hair. 6 a day is not an uncommon number to find on the label. Some people do not like taking that many pills per day. Use your own discretion as far as how many you take each day.








Tips & Warnings










All of the above suggestions are safe and natural and all can be used together to benefit the hair and scalp. If you have concerns about the way the supplements mingle with your medications, see your doctor before using.








If you are experiencing sudden hair loss, see your doctor as soon as you can as this could be a symptom of a serious medical condition.

How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety Using Herbal Remedies

How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety Using Herbal Remedies



Everyone suffers from occasional stress. Others suffer from anxiety frequently enough for it to be debilitating, and possibly clinical. When the condition is serious, some rely on prescription medicine, but many prescription medicines have side effects. These side effects run the gamut from a rash or breakout to suicidal thoughts. Wouldn't it be better, if possible, to decrease anxiety naturally? Many herbs will reduce anxiety or stress naturally with fewer side effects. Isn't it worth a try?







Things You'll Need:





Herbal tea formulated for stress and anxiety




St. John's Wort; either liquid or pill form




Peppermint leaves




Meadowsweet




Skullcap







Herbs that Will Reduce Stress and Anxiety




1


Try one of the herbal teas formulated to reduce stress. These teas usually contain St. John's Wort, chamomile, lemon balm,
catnip
, and other ingredients known for relaxing frayed nerves. On the box of most of these teas, recommendations suggest drinking it four or more times a day. If you only have occasional stress, sit down with a cup when the stress occurs. It should be enough to take off the edge. If your stress is more frequent or persistent, start by drinking a cup twice a day, once in the evening and once at night. If you notice it helping, you can increase the frequency or amount you drink.





2


Purchase St. John's Wort in pill or liquid form from your local health food store. Ask the experts in the store if you are uncertain which one to buy. Take it according to directions at least twice a day. This is the most popular of herbal stress and anxiety remedies and may, at least, "take the edge off" for most people.





3


Try a warm cup of infused peppermint leaves as a tea. Not only does it taste good and reduce your anxiety, it will also help settle your stomach.





4


Take meadowsweet if you have a headache caused by stress. You can infuse meadowsweet and drink it as a tea or you can purchase it in extract form.





5


To prevent panic attacks at night, try using skullcap. Once again, it can be drunk as a tea and sweetened to suit your taste.








Tips & Warnings










St. John's Wort, like many prescription medicines, could take up to a month to feel the full effects. Be patient.








It is okay to use herbs in conjunction with one another but start off with just one at a time so you can gauge its effect on you. This doesn't count if you purchase a ready-made tea.








In addition to any remedy, herbal or otherwise, see a counselor. A counselor will give you practical advice on how you can handle anxiety.








There are many other herbs which may be of benefit to you. Do your research and find an herbal solution that best suits you.








If you are already taking a prescription for anxiety issues, talk to your doctor before stopping your medicine or trying alternative medicines. Many of these herbs have the same effect as the prescription and it could be hazardous to take them at the same time.

How to Reduce Joint Pain for Middle Age and Older Adults

How to Reduce Joint Pain for Middle Age and Older Adults



As adults reach their 50s, joint pain starts to become more prevalent and persistent. Any kind of activity seems to aggravate previous joint pain, ranging from a game of tennis to mowing the lawn. If there is pain, there is swelling, even if it's internal where you can't really see it. So whatever you can do to prevent inflammation and swelling is the objective. While not all joint problems are caused from the same source and degrees of severity greatly vary, it only makes sense to try the simplest, least invasive and perhaps least expensive therapy. This therapy has no side affects and can improve overall health including skin tone, regularity and cardiovascular health.







Things You'll Need:





Cod liver oil supplement




Water









1


Go to a health food or natural foods store and purchase the best cod liver oil supplement you can find. Expect to spend $25 to $30 for a bottle of soft gel capsules. One brand to try is Arctic Cod Liver Oil by Nordic Naturals with lemon flavoring. Remember, cod liver oil can be rank with an unpleasant aftertaste. If you can't find this one, choose a leading Omega-3 supplement.





2


Take a single 1 g. capsule after each meal, or maybe two capsules at night. Generally you should ingest these capsules with meals, but they are not harsh on the system so you don't necessarily have to take them with meals. Plus, you are better off with two on a regular basis than continually missing your dosage.





3


Drink at least six ounces of water with each dose. Make sure it is good water, not from the tap and not tainted by some toxic substance. The water itself probably makes a difference in your health since you normally would not drink this glass of water when you're not following this routine.








Tips & Warnings










Even athletic teenagers will benefit from this supplement, especially if they are nursing injuries to the bones, cartilage or ligaments.








Many people notice a difference within as little as a week's time, but give it at least a month before you decide whether it's working for you.
