STRESS MANAGEMENT WITH REIKI

When a person becomes aware of Reiki and wants to start using its healing power  a Reiki initiation called “Reiki Attunement” is required by a Trained Reiki Master.  This brings the person into a relationship with Reiki energy.

During a Reiki Attunement, the person’s dense or blocked energy is cleared and released, and etheric and chakra fields are strengthened so the person is be able to receive and transmit the healing light. The person becomes familiar with Reiki healing and Reiki initiation symbols.

most of the time manifesting some kind of diseased states. Hypertension, Depression, Insomnia, Diabetes, Arthritis, Muscular pains and Aches are some of the most common ailments that result due to stress.

To relieve stress, one must learn to relax, let go as it is said and overcome the fears and worries of everyday life.

Reiki helps a person to relieve the emotional and physical strain due to stress and helps restore balance of the body, soul and mind. The person can return to a normal, relaxed and peaceful state of being by clearing dense energy, bad Karma and unblocking their meridians (channels). chakras and nadas.

Methods of Stress Reduction and Elimination

There are several methods used in Reiki to reduce and eliminate stress. Like Laying of Hands or Distance Healing that can be combined with music using crystals or drums or drumming.

Crystal Bowl For Sounds

In crystal healing, crystals or crystal bowls are used to create sounds of healing and relaxation. These sounds carry Reiki energy into the deep body tissues and cells to enhance the relaxation process.  The body is relieved from tension and begins to relax and respond to the Reiki energy. The crystal sounds create stress reduction from within. Crystal bowls are available in different sizes and can be tuned to any note desired – flats, sharps, or pure tones.

Music in Reiki

In drumming Reiki energy is introduced to a person’s body by the use of a drum beat, in fact the drum beat is used in a certain rhythm to relax the body that helps the Reiki energy to penetrate the body easily  and create a deep, relaxing state as stress is relieved.

We all know that there is a deep connection between the physical body, spiritual being, and the mind, the mind,body, soul or spirit. It is our state of mind that experiences stress and hence our soul. Soul and Spirit are two different things but we cannot discuss it here, may be in some other blog.

In any case stress affects all three in a negative way. Using Reiki energy techniques for relieving stress or stress management can be an excellent way a person can lead a more normal, relaxed, and peaceful life.

Get Pain Relief Through Acupressure

Acupressure was originated in China thousands of years ago, and evidence has been found that acupressure was practiced in the stone age!

You can learn to do acupressure at home to supplement professional treatment. This is especially useful when you are stricken with illness or pain and you can’t get to the doctor soon.

Acupressure has been used to reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting in children.

Acupressure also reduces nausea in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

Acupressure can be done anywhere without special equipment.

You can treat yourself safely with acupressure, as long as you follow the guidelines of a professional acupressure practitioner.

Correctly performed, acupressure increases circulation, reduces tension and pain and enables the body to relax.

Acupressure strengthens the immune system and promotes wellness.

Acupressure should be applied slowly and gently. Applying it too quickly or vigorously can do some damage, especially in the abdominal area.

Special care and caution is needed in the case of a pregnant woman or in treating a person with burns, infections and recent injuries.

Acupressure is more effective than physical therapy for the majority of patients with low back pain.

Ear acupressure can be used to reduce stress and anxiety.

Acupressure is used to reduce fear and anxiety in trauma victims and in pre-operative care.

Acupressure can be used to treat all these conditions:

Tension Headaches

Here are a couple acupressure tips you can try:

For headaches and muscle or joint pain, press the fleshy part of your hand between your thumb and index finger. Hold for this for one minute, then repeat on the other hand.

For low-back pain, lie on your back, with your feet elevated on a sofa or chair. Place two tennis balls under your lower back on either side of your spine. (I got cheap tennis balls in the dog toy department.) Stay in this position for one minute or sooner if it becomes uncomfortable.

For knee pain, put a tennis ball on a pillow, then place your leg over it so the ball is pushing into the crease behind your knee. Find the sensitive spot just below your kneecap and slightly to the outside of the shinbone. Press into it gently with your fingertips for about one minute.

 

Is cupping (hijama) a cure for every disease?

Is cupping (hijama) a cure for every disease?

Cure is from Allah Subahanahu Taala, however the Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, “Indeed in cupping (hijama) there is a cure.” [Saheeh Muslim (5706)]. The Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, “Whoever performs cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) then it is a cure for every disease.” [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3861)].

 

Reported Use of Hijama By Prophet (SAW) PBUH

Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)] said, ” Hijama (cupping) on an empty stomach* is best. In it is a cure and a blessing. It improves the intellect and the memory…” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)].

Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  fell from his horse onto the trunk of a palm tree and dislocated his foot. Waki’ (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, “Meaning the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  was cupped on (his foot) for bruising.” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (2807)].

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  underwent Hijama and was cupped on his head for a unilateral headache while he was in Ihraam. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5701)].

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  had Hijama while he was fasting. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5694)].

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked: “Did you dislike hijama (cupping) for the fasting person?” He said, “No except for the reason of one becoming weak.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (1940)].

This is not affected by the hadeeth, “The cupper and the one being cupped have broken their fast.” [Saheeh see Irwaa al-Ghaleel (931)]. This is because the hadeeth is abrogated as Sheikh al-Albaani and ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy upon them) showed by the following hadeeth:

Abu Sa’eed al-Khudhree (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, “The Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  validated cupping for the fasting person.” [Saheeh see Irwaa al-Ghaleel (4/74)].

It appears that cupping (hijama) is allowed but disliked as Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) mentioned because the fasting person becomes weak if they perform cupping (hijama) and Allah knows best.

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  was treated with cupping (hijama) three times on the two veins at the side of the neck and the base of the neck. [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3860), ibn Maajah (3483)].

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was cupped on his head. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5699)].

Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  used to cup his head and would call it (the place at the top of the head) “Umm Mugheeth.” [Saheehah (753), Saheeh al-Jaami’ (4804)].

Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  was treated with cupping (hijama) on his hip for a pain in that area. [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3863)].

Saying of Prophet (SAW) PBUH About Hijama

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)] said, “Indeed the best of remedies you have is Hijama (cupping) …” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)].

Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “If there was something excellent to be used as a remedy then it is Hijama (cupping).” [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3857), Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3476)].

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “I did not pass by an angel from the angels on the night journey except that they all said to me: Upon you is Hijama (cupping), O Muhammad.” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3477)].

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (may Allaah be pleased with him) the angels said, “Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) with Hijama (cupping).” [Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)].

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “Whoever wants to perform Hijama (cupping)cupping then let him search for the 17th, 19th and 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) and let none of you allow his blood to rage (boil) such that it kills him.” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3486)].

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)] said, “When the weather becomes extremely hot, seek aid in Hijama (cupping). Do not allow your blood to rage (boil) such that it kills you.”[Reported by Hakim in his ‘Mustadrak’ and he authenticated it and Imam ad-Dhahabi agreed (4/212)].

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “Healing is in three things: in the incision of the Hijama, in drinking honey, and in cauterizing with fire, but I forbid my Ummah (nation) from cauterization (branding with fire).” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5681), Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3491)].

Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “Indeed in Hijama (cupping) there is a cure.” [Saheeh Muslim (5706)].

Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, ” Hijama (cupping) on an empty stomach* is best. In it is a cure and a blessing…” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)].

Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “Whoever performs Hijama (cupping) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) then it is a cure for every disease.”[Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3861)].

The best days for cupping (hijama) are the 17th, 19th and 21st of the Islamic lunar month.

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “Whoever wants to perform Hijama (cupping) then let him search for the 17th, 19th and 21st…” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3486)].

Salma (may Allaah be pleased with him), the servant of the Messenger of Allaah  [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  said, “Whenever someone would complain of a headache to the Messenger of Allaah   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)] , he   [ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)]  would advise them to perform Hijama (cupping).” [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3858)].
