Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique that enhances the body’s natural ability to find balance. Through balance, we often find healing.

Reiki can assist you in reducing your stress level, which in turn can help eliminate other issues you may be experiencing. It is also a wonderful addition to any western medical treatment you may be receiving. While there are few documented scientific studies to date, Reiki has been known to help people manage pain, fears, sadness, sleeplessness, anxiety, grief, traumatic incidents, loss, and life transitions. It has also been shown to boost people’s immune systems and improve their overall quality of life.

Hypnosis is nothing more than deep concentration and focused awareness on an identified issue or goal. It bypasses the mind’s “critical factor” so that more direct communication with the subconscious mind is possible. Hypnosis, as portrayed in the movies, is for show. Much like the outrageous stunts and explosions you see in an action film, the movies have little bearing on reality.

Absolutely. Hypnosis is never about losing control. It is about gaining control over a very large portion of your own mind, your subconscious. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You can never be made to do anything that is contrary to your basic principles or belief systems or that you are not deeply committed to doing.

Issues that respond well to hypnosis are weight reduction, building self-esteem and self confidence, testing anxiety, fears and phobias, generalized anxiety, insomnia, pain management, smoking cessation, living well with chronic illness, recovery from cancer or traumatic incidents, and life transitions.

It is a good idea to look at lifestyle issues that might be tweaked before turning to pharmaceutical intervention. There are quite a few nutritional changes that can make a difference, as well as some homeopathic tinctures that you may use to lessen the occurrence and the severity of hot flashes and night sweats.

Stress is the leading cause of illness and poor aging. Having a good solid strategy to deal with it is invaluable. Making use of Reiki, hypnosis, exercise, a nutritionally sound diet, and getting rid of old emotional baggage will significantly enhance your life now and build a brighter and healthier tomorrow.
