Whitfield Wholistics:
It seems as if my life experiences mirror those of almost everyone who seeks my aide in their search for peace and inner healing. By having lived through many of the same things each of them has, I have gained valuable insight to what is needed during the healing process. In my life I have gone through trials and trauma that most people need professional help to deal with and I sought a different type of healing process. I began studying Reiki and Native American healing arts and ceremonies. I sought out practitioners of these methods and started my own healing from within. I have preferred natural remedies over traditional medicine for many years and use herbs, essential oils, and other methods to this day. HS4S believes that in order to heal, one must heal the entire person: body, mind, and soul using the resources given to us in nature and by our Creator. I have continued my studies and have expanded them to include chakra healing, crystal healing, color therapy, and have worked within a medicine wheel for spiritual guidance. I have learned to design medicine tools for personal use and use several different types of cards for guidance and instruction. I do not believe in using these cards to predict the future, but to lend aide in staying on the right path to a higher level of spirituality. Reiki energy healing was the first certified course in the alternative field that I completed. I was not satisfied with the first level, feeling there was more to be learned. I soon completed my second and third levels of training. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “God’s light energy”. It involves laying on of hands in specific places to conduct the healing power of God into a person who needs treatment. A Reiki practitioner does not actually have the power to heal but uses the energy of the Creator to produce the desired results. Reiki works first on a physical plane, second on a mental level, and third, on the spiritual self. Reiki does not interfere with traditional medicine but enhances it. You do not need to believe in any specific religion for Reiki to work. No special equipment is needed, only a trained practitioner. Reiki is beneficial to every living thing it meets, and the process of healing brings with it a change in the whole person, body, mind and soul. Christouch is a version of Reiki, based on Scripture, following the teaching of Jesus in its purpose and application. Chakra healing focuses on the seven main energy centers of the human body. If one of these centers is not functioning properly, then the whole body suffers. A color represents each chakra, therefore that color can be used to restore balance to the affected area. Different techniques are used to cleanse a chakra, with color therapy being one of the easiest to apply. Opening the chakras in therapy produces healing throughout the entire psyche and the body. Crystal healing works in much the same way as color therapy, using gemstones of different types placed on the part of the body that need healing. Each stone has healing properties associated with it and can be placed on the body during therapy, under a bed during sleep, or worn as jewelry to absorb the energy. Card readings given by me would be of a spiritual nature and not for asking about the future events of one’s life, but whether a person is on the right path to enlightenment, and how to stay on that path, or what lessons need to be learned from their path. Walking a medicine wheel provides the same type of insight to your path. Each of the 36 points has a specific healing that goes along with its position on the wheel. Healing ceremonies done with a medicine wheel are immensely powerful and can bring about changes to the whole person, in addition to healing a physical ailment. All healing truly comes from our Creator, and not from the person handling the treatment or ceremony. The practitioner is only a conduit for the healing energies to flow from one source into another. I also believe that true healing begins within, with a sincere desire to become whole again, and the willingness to allow the changes to take place that are necessary for that healing. We are all born perfect in the eyes of our Creator, and in the Creator’s eyes we are still perfect, and that same Creator loves us as perfect beings. Opening our hearts and minds to alternative ways of healing is the first step to becoming whole. The second step is to act on our desire to be healed by searching out the right method. There are too many ways to list them all here and no one person could possibly master them all. It is within our own soul we find the right path.

In the near future, I will be returning to the Houston area periodically, focusing on training in-home caregivers in Calming Touch©. I'd love to set up some presentations for agencies who are interested in self-care techniques for your staff, and non-invasive methods of dealing with "difficult" clients.
This is a program I developed several years ago while actively working for a non-medical agency to provide our staff with tools to better cope with the stress of caring for our clients. It encompasses the basics of Reiki 1, basic music therapy and basic aromatherapy. Being a short course (1-1.5 hrs), it is ideal supplemental training for your staff, and the cost will be minimal. This course is adaptable for sharing to family caregivers at no cost to them.

As always, I am available for personal Reiki sessions. Consultations are always no cost or obligation.

Reiki and Protection
By Frans Stiene

“Seeing that our fears do nothing but restrict our energy can give us tremendous power and strength, enabling us to discover the true dynamism of our consciousness. Nothing in the physical world can protect us from objects of fear; transcending fear itself through meditation is our true protection.” – Tarthang Tulku

I often get asked about the concept of protection within the system of Reiki.

The first thing we have to ask is why we want to protect ourselves when practicing or offering a Reiki treatment; what is the baseline? When we truly investigate, we find that the reason is worry/fear. We worry that we will pick something up, we fear that we will not feel good afterwards, and so on.

But as we see very clearly within the Reiki precepts, right after do not anger is do not worry. And as the precepts are the foundation of the system of Reiki, we therefore need to look at our own mind and ask ourselves this: what are we so worried about and how we can soften this worry and fear?

We may feel the need to protect ourselves because we think we might pick something up from our client. (Please note that I’m not talking about illness or viral infections, which have their own common sense precautions, but about worry or fear of picking up so-called “negative energy”.)

But wait a minute…if we put our hands on a client then the client is in a way also touching us. It is never a one way street. Please do investigate this and look honestly at what may be behind your thoughts. If I as the practitioner feel the need to protect myself then I should also instruct my client to protect themselves. Right?! So now we are both putting a wall between ourselves, and what happens then to our healing? Can it flow? Or is it obstructed by worry, fear and walls?

Of course it is obstructed, because now both the practitioner and client are in a state of worry and have created a wall/boundary around themselves.

In a way, when we do feel the need to protect ourselves, it is a sign that we need to practice more on ourselves, become more stable. When we become more grounded, centred and stable, less in our head and more in our hara – centre below the navel, we start to feel the need for protection softening.

This also means that sometimes we are not yet ready to do a lot of hands on/off healing on others because of our own instability. This is nothing to worry about and not a bad thing; it is just a sign that we need to practice the meditation practices within the system of Reiki more on a daily basis.

Just like when I go to the gym, in the beginning I can not pull 10 kilo; I need to train for that and that is not a bad thing at all. We just have to train and train and train, to find that grounding and stability.

The whole system of Reiki is about realizing that we are the universe. The universe is wide open, with no boundaries, no protection, just being like space. This state of mind of spaciousness is pointed out repeatedly in Mikao Usui’s teachings. If we realize this kind of spaciousness, we feel that there is no need for protection at all. We can be wide open in this interconnectedness with all that is.

“Q. I’ve heard of Tibetan lamas exorcising demons. What are demons?
Lama. Sometimes it can be possible that superstitious, primitive people believe that they’re controlled by a spirit and get sick as a result, so lamas have certain methods of healing such people. But in general, by “demon” we mean the energy of the ego. There’s no external demon, lying somewhere in wait for you. The Buddhist connotation is that the demon, devil or whatever you call it is within you [the ego].”
– Lama Thubten Yeshe

I often hear people say, I am one with the universe but I still feel the need for protection. Or, I am one with the universe but not with that s**t over there. But those statements do not hold. Because if we truly feel this deep interconnectedness with the universe then we feel okay with everything there is, no exceptions at all.

“Okay with” doesn’t mean that we will never feel angry, worried or sad about issues or tragedies in our lives or our world. It means, as we see the interconnectedness of all things and all beings, that we don’t stay in, don’t live in those states of anger, worry or fear.

Even if we look at the Japanese word Reiki we see some wonderful teachings in there.

Some translations of the word Rei: 霊

* Spirit.

* Life.

* Soul.

* Inconceivable spiritual ability

* Bright.

* Unpolluted.

* Pure.

* Divine.

* Mysterious.

* Spirit; the spiritual aspect of the human being.

Some translations of the word Ki: 気

* Mind.

* Spirit.

* Breath.

* Energy.

* Air.

* Invisible life-force.

* Vital energy connected to the breath.

* Steam.

We see that Rei means pure and unpolluted and that Ki is mind and energy. Thus when we realize that we are Reiki, that everything is Reiki, we realize that the essence of everything is pure and unpolluted. And therefore there is nothing to be worried or fearful about.

This is really the essence of the system of Reiki. But it’s not so easy in a way because we have put lots of layers of worry and fear over this unpolluted pure state of mind. And that is why the system of Reiki is foremost a spiritual practice for ourselves from which we lay bare this wonderful state of mind. And from that state of mind we can start to do proper hands on/off healing.

“Complete Openness of Mind
When performing the meditation practice one should develop the feeling of opening oneself completely to the whole universe with absolute simplicity and nakedness of mind, ridding oneself of all protecting barriers.” ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
