Soul Sign:- Soul is essentially unconditional love, the energy that connects all things and all beings in the Oneness of life.
Reflection:- An enemy mentality blocks soul and destroys connection. Many people think that enemies really exist and do not believe that we humans are all brothers and sisters, or even more than that, that we are one another... that other people are just aspects of ourselves. When you have an enemy mentality you either focus on destroying the enemy or try to defend yourself against the enemy. If you do this you then live in fear which is self destructive. When you have an enemy mentality you cannot fulfill your purpose for your life. You will act against your own purpose, thus diminishing yourself.
What can you do today to be more accepting of others without diminishing yourself?

Why Does Healing Touch Work
Why Does Healing Touch Work?
Donald Stouffer, PhD, CHTP
Professor of Aerospace Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Ohio 45221
The two basic concepts that are necessary to convey to clients, medical professionals and the community are: What is Healing Touch and how does it work A reasonable explanation might be: Healing Touch is a conscious, intentional process of directing energy through the hands of the practitioner to the client to facilitate the healing process. However, this type of explanation is not totally satisfying or convincing even though it is reasonably accurate. A better physical explanation might eliminate some of the misunderstanding and criticism of voodoo medicine.
A model for a scientific basis of the physiological changes developed by a Healing Touch treatment can be extracted from acupuncture research. In acupuncture, healing is stimulated by the insertion of fine needles at special points on meridians that are usually activated with a tiny current. This current stimulates the flow of Qi or pulses of electrical energy that travel along the meridians and neurological pathways to the cells. Pomeranz (1) showed that this current stimulates the release of endorphins, and the secretion of hormones, serotonin and other chemicals at the cellular level. This chemical change produces effects like relaxation and reduction of pain.
The effects of acupuncture are well established. An NIH panel recently reviewed over 200 research papers and concluded that acupuncture helps relieve post-operative nausea and vomiting, post-operative dental pain, and nausea and vomiting following chemo-therapy (2). In addition, the panel concluded that acupuncture was a suitable part of the treatment plan for drug and alcohol addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, general muscle pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma.
It is reasonable to expect these results should also apply to Healing Touch. When a practitioner “Centers” to do a Healing Touch treatment, there is a mind-body connection where the mental processes stimulate the body's bioelectrical field. The bioelectrical flow corresponds to pulses of electrical charges that produce chemical changes in the practitioner’s body, but these pulses also create a magnetic field. Maxwell's Law (3), a well documented effect in physics, states that the flow of electrical charges creates both an electrical field and a magnetic field, and Maxwell’s equations show how these effects are related. Thus the human energy system is a bioelectromagnetic field (4). The flow felt between a person’s two hands is a biomagnetic field flow. The aura is a subtle biomagnetic field.
During a treatment the practitioner’s biomagnetic field interacts with the client's biomagnetic field and changes occur in the client's electrical field. This produces a change in the client's chemical balance at the cellular level, chemicals are released and physiological changes result. The cell's structure and function are changed.
Drugs and food produce changes at the cellular level by directly changing the chemical balance. An emotional trauma impacts the body through bioelectrical changes that are stimulated by the thought process.
Healing Touch is not magic. The effect of the modality is similar to acupuncture. It can be thought of as a bioelectromagnetic massage to stimulate bioelectromagnetic and physiological changes in the client at the cellular level to promote healing. The Healing Touch program teaches how to prepare and manage the practitioner’s bioelectromagnetic field to create change in the bioelectromagnetic field of the client.

Mental Health & Causes of Imbalances
Mental Health & Causes Of Imbalances
A questionnaire prepared by Dr. William C Menninger – President of the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas. U.S.A.
Mental health is not just absence of psychological diseases but the balanced development of an individual’s personality and emotional attitudes, which enable him to live harmoniously with his fellow beings. A mentally healthy person is able to maintain stability of mind in the midst of adverse conditions.
1. Are you always worrying?
2. Are you unable to concentrate because of unrecognised reasons?
3. Are you continually unhappy without justified cause?
4. Do you lose your temper easily and often?
5. Do you have wide fluctuations in your mood? From depression to elation, back to depression, which incapacitate you? 6. Are you troubled by regular insomnia?
7. Do you continually dislike being with people?
8. Are you upset if the routine of your life is disturbed?
9. Do your children consistently get on your nerves?
10. Are you browned off and constantly bitter?
11. Are you afraid without real cause?
12. Are you always right and the other person always wrong?
13. Do you have numerous aches and pains for which no doctor can find a physical cause?
The conditions charted above are the major warning signals of poor mental health and severe imbalance, which could be termed as a mental dis-ease in one degree or another. It is an indicator that the person is definitely in need of help. The primary action to reverse the above situations is:
• To realize one’s mistakes and make a firm decision to take corrective steps.
• To understand the fundamental truths of life. On this basis one’s belief system also becomes positive.
• To make sincere and tireless efforts until the objectives of one’s life are achieved. • To fulfill the social and family responsibilities like a trustee and, at the same time, to remain free from unhealthy habits.
Natural and Energy Therapeutics like Quantum Touch, Craniosacral and Reiki can effectively rebalance the mental health of any person without medication; just by regulating the natural energy flow as and when required with convenience it calms the mind and bringing total relaxation and stress release. One is filled with a sensation of peace, vitality & joy resulting in mental balance of each individual in a personal way. Natural Therapies are not intended to replace orthodox medicine, but always compliments it. But in situations where medicines fail to produce the desired results, natural remedies at times work miracles. Its time people make their choices and preferences openly.

Reiki's Role in Natural Healing
REIKI’s role in NATURAL HEALING
The philosophical roots of Natural Healing dates back to thousands of years. Drawing from the healing wisdom of many cultures including Indian (Ayurveda), Chinese (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Native American, and Greek (Hippocratic), natural medicine is a medical system based on six time-based principles:
a) The Healing power of nature: The body has considerable power to heal itself, and the role of the healer is to facilitate this natural process with the aid of natural, nontoxic therapies.
b) Treat the cause rather the effect: Natural healers and physicians seek the underlying cause of disease rather than simply suppressing the symptoms. They avoid the natural healing wisdom of the body, such as fever and inflammation. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the body’s natural attempt to heal while the causes can spring from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
c) Cause no harm: By employing safe and effective natural therapies, natural healers are committed to the principle of causing no harm to the patient.
d) Treat the whole person: The individual is viewed as a whole, composed of complex interaction of physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual, social, environmental and other factors. This approach results in a therapeutic approach in which no disease is automatically seen as incurable.
e) The physician is the teacher: Natural and spiritual healers are first and foremost teachers who educate, empower and motivate the patient to assume more personal responsibility for his or her health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle and diet.
f) Prevention is the best cure: Natural healing physicians are preventive medicine specialists. Prevention of disease is accomplished through education and a lifestyle that supports health.
In the natural system of medicine, disease is seen as a manifestation of the natural causes by which the body heals itself. For example, fever and inflammation are viewed as the body’s way of dealing with an imbalance that is undermining the healthy functioning of the body. However, if the cause of the imbalance is not removed, the inflammatory responses will continue, either at a lower level of intensity or intermittently. This can be the origin of chronic disease. Healing a chronic disease required removal of the underlying cause. This usually culminates in a return of an acute episode, called healing crises or reaction, a keynote of natural medical theory. Following this the condition improves.
The natural healer/physician emphasizes therapeutic choice based on individual interest and experience and maintains a consistent philosophy. All have been trained in the basic tools of natural therapeutics, and most work with diet and nutrition while specializing in one or more other therapeutic methods.
Natural medicine can be applied in any health care situation, but its strongest area is in the treatment of chronic and degenerative disease. For severe, acute traumas such as serious automobile accident, emergencies in childbirth, or orthopedic problems requiring corrective surgery, this is not recommended, although it can contribute to such cases, especially in recovery process.
In other acute cases, such as ear infections and common illnesses with fever, these are assessed and the underlying causes such as diet, life stresses and occupational hazards are considered before prescribing a few means to deal with the problem.
On the other hand in chronic cases, the procedure is different. A thorough case history has to be taken an all the symptoms and complaints with his lifestyle is to be considered for final evaluation and if necessary laboratory tests may be done to determine the central problem. As an example, many symptoms can be tied to the effects of toxemia on the different systems of the body such as the immune system, nervous system or circulatory system. While others diseases or illnesses may be due to emotional factors, such as chronic urinary infection when there is history of sexual abuse.
What ever the diagnoses may be, it is handled in the most appropriate natural way with the aim of bringing relief and cure to the effected patient.
