I subscribe to this site(Tina Zion) and I hope you enjoy this article as much as I did! Itried it and felt a difference!
Today I thought I would discuss our breath and its importance while
working with Reiki.
The breath is precious. It is the first thing we do at birth and
the last thing we do at death. Between birth and death our breath
is the bridge between the physical and the non-physical. It
nourishes and sustains our physical body while each inhalation also
draws in the energy of the Universe. It is the only body system
that we can alter immediately. We cannot tell our gall bladder to
work faster and it does so. We can, however, alter our breath
immediately.
While working with Reiki I actually focus a great deal of my
awareness on my breath. I love to make sounds with my breath. It
helps me to feel its power.
As you begin--exhale and at the same time imagine exhaling down your
legs. Let yourself feel your breath going EQUALLY down both legs
and deep into the Earth. Do this until you truly have a sense that
your energy has traveled down into the ground - thus grounding
yourself. Now inhale and draw the feeling of the Earth up into both
of your legs EQUALLY. Your body will begin to feel a fullness.
Now breathe in through the top of your head. Each time you inhale
through your nose you will also feel your breath coming into the top
of your head.
Now inhale deep into your heart. Your heart energy center is not
just in front of your body. Inhale into your heart center through
your back also. So as you inhale your breath is coming through your
chest and deep into your heart and also through your upper back and
into the back side of your heart. Energy will come into your heart
from all directions at the same time.
When you are convinced that you feel this happening I ask that you
expand and absorb even more. Inhale now through every inch of your
skin. Take a moment to feel your breath entering into and through
every inch of your skin. Then also as you exhale--every inch of
your skin also releases all that is no longer needed. Your entire
body is inhaling and exhaling with Life Force.
You are now radiating The Universal Love of Reiki. This powerful
energy is gushing out from your hands but also from your entire
body.
This breathing with awareness, drinking lots of water and sensing
the fullness of LOVE will help you to optimize the current of Reiki
flowing through you.........
