“Everything in Life is Vibration” – Albert Einstein
Everything in our universe is in a constant state of motion. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact moving and vibrating at various speeds and frequencies.
Per quantum physics, human beings are made up of 99.9999999999999% space & energy!
Read that sentence again and take a moment to really let that knowledge sink in...
So, the physical nature of who we are accounts for only a tiny percentage of our total existence. 0.0000000000001% to be exact!
This scientific fact is absolutely fascinating to me, because, we spend so much of our time (and energy) focusing on the physical part of who we are; when in fact, it should really be the other way around.
Thoughts are energy. We create our reality with the thoughts we think.
Science continues to discover and confirm, just how detrimental negative thinking is to our health and well-being. Certainly, if this is the case, then wouldn't our thoughts also have the ability to make us well?
Have you ever heard the saying, "issues are stored in your tissues"? We have hundreds of energy centers in and around our body. Reiki works within these energetic centers to stir up and move stagnant and/or blocked energy.
OK, let's talk about human brain...
Think of your brain as you would a computer. Your brain has been hardwired with data from the moment you were born. The majority of this programming isn't even yours. We will discuss this further in later posts; for now, let's forward to the present moment. Today, you will think anywhere from 60,000 - 80,000 thoughts and 80-90% of those thoughts will be repeated thoughts from previous days with 80% of those thoughts being negative in nature. This is not our fault. We are programmed to think negatively in an attempt to protect ourselves as a species. While this may have worked back in the day of the caveman, it is not an ideal way to live in our modern world. Living life from these old programs and from a negative state of mind is detrimental to our health and well-being. Functioning from a state of constant stress puts the body and mind in a state of dis-ease. Knowing this, it would come as no surprise that the majority of today's illnesses and diseases are caused by living and functioning from a state of chronic stress. It is equally important to know that thoughts play a vital role in your physical, mental, and emotional health & well-being. This could be good or bad, depending on your thoughts and frame of mind on any given day.
Are we doomed ?
Joe Dispenza - author of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself - says, the body does not know the difference between an experience or a thought about the experience. Wait - what? Take a second to re-read that statement because...WOW! Just by having a thought, you literally change your biology, neuron-circuitry, chemistry, hormones & genes as if it was your current reality. This knowledge blows me away. A good reason to become more diligent and mindful about what thoughts you choose to think and what you choose to focus on.
This is powerful information!
Information is power especially when we take the information and put it into action in order to grow and evolve. The choice is yours because you have been given free will. This means you have the ability to use your thoughts to work in your favor (rather than against you). By choosing to become more aware, you start the process of living life from a state of ease rather than dis-ease. Because, healthier thoughts change the chemistry in your brain and body for the better.
Maybe we aren't doomed after all....
I am here to tell you that you are absolutely capable of great change and transformation. You can learn how to remove the old programs and change unwanted behaviors. You can move past fear and doubt, while letting go of limiting beliefs once and for all.
But how do you change your thoughts?
Science has proven that we have the ability to change and rewire the brain. It's called neuroplasticity. There is also evidence that thoughts alone have the ability to heal - this is called the placebo effect. Given this information, don't we have an obligation to ourselves to shift our focus from the old way of thinking to the new?
Are you aware that ancient practices such as Meditation and Yoga Nidra are proven techniques that have the capacity to change and rewire the brain? It has been scientifically proven and I am here to tell you that it is absolutely true because I practice every single day. Furthermore, energy healing techniques such as Reiki have the ability to stir up and remove blocked and/or stagnant energy in order to create a foundation for healing to occur.
Reiki, Meditation & Yoga Nidra are not only for relaxation, they are a forms of energy healing and have the capability to heal on the cellular level.
You are the medicine...
Once you become aware of how powerful your energy and thoughts truly are, you will never want to think another negative thought or say one more negative thing again.
By showing up and practicing these techniques consistently, you lay the foundation for deep healing and transformation to occur.
Meditation teaches you how to become the observer of your life. Giving you the ability to commune with your higher self and co-create with the universe. Every thought you think, every word you say, and every action you take will have the capacity to set into motion great transformation. Your life will take on a whole new level of understanding and deeper meaning. Your relationship with your "self" and others will change and evolve. New opportunities will arise. Life will come alive in ways you never expected.
I promise, if you show up and practice consistently, you will see changes within yourself as well. It's such a beautiful process that unfolds more and more with each passing day. I am living proof that these practices work.
I hope this information lights a spark within you and inspires you to realize that you have the power and potential within you to make positive lasting change in your life.
