"Life is a journey and
an experience." We have all heard that
before haven't we? Well, that is true, it
is a journey and we have the opportunity
to make it great or mediocre. The choice
is ours.
Over the years I have found several exceptional
tools to that have helped me and countless
others. Nine years ago I became a Reiki Master/Teacher
and two years ago I found Option Method studying
to become an Option Method Mentor. Additionally,
after reading Donna Eden's Energy Medicine
I began taking classes to learn to use the
techniques she described in her book to help
my clients.
In this article I will detail how these
techniques have helped my clients to experience
more peace, greater calmness, joy, happiness,
health and an increased sense of being balanced
and in harmony.
Reiki is the "Universal Life Force
energy." This energy is brought through
the practitioner and is transferred to the
client via a light touch or no touch (otherwise
referred to as distance Reiki). Reiki can
be done quite easily for yourself and for
family, friends and pets. It is very versatile
and has many benefits. Some of these benefits
include relaxation, rejuvenation, peace,
clearer thinking, increased focus, creativity
and a greater sense of well-being. During
a Reiki session the client lays on a massage
table, while remaining fully clothed, as
the practitioner transfers the Reiki energy
to the client. Reiki may also be given with
the client sitting on a chair, lying on a
hospital bed, or even if the client is out
of the area which is called distance Reiki.
Option Method helps the client to explore
their beliefs through a series of questions
that the mentor asks. These questions are
simple, yet powerfully profound. The questions
are your guides as you explore your beliefs
and determine, on your own, whether they
are serving you or whether it is time to
release them. Most of us have beliefs that
we accept as true that we have learned from
our parents, family, and society. Many of
these beliefs do not fit our current situations
and may cause us to unnecessarily feel unhappy,
frustrated, guilty, sad, angry, or to experience
any number of negative feelings.
An example of how these two modalities may
be used together to bring you greater joy,
peace and happiness is to begin with an Option
session and move onto a Reiki table session.
Another possibility is for the practitioner
to transfer Reiki energies, sending it to
the client, during the Option session. Both
ways work well and clients have reported
insights into themselves of which they were
previously unaware.
You might ask . . . "What can I expect
if I were to experience Reiki and Option?"
Many clients report a feeling of relief, that a weight has been lifted off
their shoulders, and they breathe easier knowing that their outworn beliefs
are no longer needed. Many realized that they were living their life based
on someone else's beliefs, beliefs that have not supported or empowered them.
Once recognized, they were able to let go of those beliefs and found themselves
experiencing true happiness, sometimes for the very first time in their lives.
The Option Method questions are simple.
The first question "What am I unhappy
about?" begins the exploration process.
You may experience these questions with a
mentor or you can practice them on your own
as the need arises. I would suggest finding
a mentor for your initial experience. I also
suggest participating in an Option Method
group, in which you can learn more about
the process with other like minded individuals.
Incorporating Reiki into the Option Method
session, clients have reported a deeper sense
of well-being, a deeper sense of peace, and
a feeling that the Reiki energies sealed
in their new found feelings of happiness,
cementing that feeling into their very cells.
Clients often share that they have become
truly comfortable with the feeling of happiness
and that this feeling does not dissipate
once they leave the session.
Energy Medicine incorporates working the
energies of the body, including clearing
the chakras (energy centers of the body).
An Energy Medicine practitioner may also "test" the
body using kinesiology to determine if the
clients' energy is maximized or if there
is a deficit in a certain area that can be
balanced through very simple effective energy
techniques. Incorporating Energy Medicine
techniques into the session immediately balances
the client and helps them to better integrate
the healing of the other modalities we use.
Everyone is unique and therefore, each session
is tailored to their individual needs. Therefore,
there is no such thing as a "standard
session" for each client.
Although a practitioner may be well known
in one area of expertise, many practitioners
offer an array of services to better serve
their clients. In my practice I have found
that combining modalities works especially
well in supporting the client on their healing
journey of finding and loving their true
selves.
