EFT Points

As I've mentioned before,  EFT Tapping compliments Reiki wonderfully. This morning I joined a practice session with gals in the UK and Mosambique, and tapped around frustration and self worth. One participate 'volunteered' issues she was struggling with, and tapped with the host. The rest had our mics on mute, and tapped along. 

As is common when I join a group session, I felt connected and more relaxed afterwards.  And everyone benefits by tapping on our own version of the issue presented.

 In a recent newsletter, my friend and local EFT Practitioner Karen Aquinas offered a teaching that Nick Ortner of The Tapping Solution recently shared - information he compiled on the topic of the Tapping points, and why we use each one.

I thought you might also find these helpful.

Karate Chop (Small Intestine Meridian)
* Releases feeling stuck and promotes ease in moving forward, letting go, healing from grief, and the ability to be happy in the present moment.

Eyebrow (Bladder Meridian)
* Releases trauma, hurt, and sadness and promotes peace and emotional healing.

Side of Eye (Gall Bladder Meridian)
* Releases resentment and anger and promotes clarity and compassion.

Under Eye (Stomach Meridian)
* Releases fear and anxiety and promotes contentment, calmness, and the feeling of safety.

Under Nose (Governing Vessel Meridian)
* Releases shame and powerlessness and promotes self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and compassion for self and others.

Under Mouth (Central Meridian)
* Releases confusion and uncertainty and promotes clarity, certainty, confidence, and self-acceptance.

Collarbone (Kidney Meridian)
* Releases the feeling of being stuck and promotes ease in moving forward, confidence, and clarity.

Under the Arm (Spleen Meridian)
* Releases guilt, worry, and obsessing and promotes clarity, confidence, relaxation, and compassion for self and others.

Top of the Head (Crown Chakra)
* This is is a collection of many meridian points. Tapping on the top of the head opens the crown chakra and promotes spiritual connection, while "anchoring in" the new balance and alignment from the completed tapping round.

Thumb (Lung Meridian)
* Releases negative thinking, judgment, self-righteousness, grief, and loss and promotes acceptance of self and others, healing from loss, ability to see the positives in life.

Index Finger (Large Intestine Meridian)
* Releases the difficulty of forgiving yourself and letting go of past hurts and promotes self-forgiveness, releasing the past, and being more joyful and peaceful in the present.

Middle Finger (Circulation-Sex Meridian)
* Releases anxiety and sexuality issues and promotes bonding, relaxation, generosity, acceptance of self and others, and trust.

Ring Finger (Circulation-Triple Warmer Meridian) [not included in Nick's list]
* Helps with planning and decision-making, clarity, getting unstuck

Pinky Finger (Heart Meridian)
* Releases smaller anger, annoyances, and frustrations and promotes unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, and self-care.

Wrist
There are sevral meridian points which can be accessed by tapping the inside of the wrists. Doing so releases anxiety and depression and can aid in reducing insomnia and heart issues.

I am grateful to Karen for sharing this, and will take some time to integrate the information on these points - and I'm happy to book a session which includes both Reiki and exploring EFT!

Everyday Reiki

The Reiki precepts begin kyo dake wa , just for today ... When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout the day.  While Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each of the meals prepared by the doctor's sister the dietician was blessed with Reiki : green tea, Rice, beans, steamed vegetables (especially carrots & beets), seaweed. As she learned Reiki herself, Mrs Takata blessed her own food and drink, and later recommended her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we ingest, it's something we do daily, and soon becomes second nature. We can also use Reiki around the home: set up an altar hold seeds or herbs a minute before we plant them bless a craft project we're working on sweep the floor play a musical instrument atune to objects as we decide whether to keep them, or pass them on In addition to doing sessions on ourselves, our pets and each other, we can use Re...

Beginnings

A couple of weeks after meeting our Reiki Master, another student & I arrived at her home for our First Degree Reiki class. One of Analyse's Mastery students joined us as well, to participate & observe. We alternated between teachings, sharing stories & experiences, initiations & learning to give (& receive) treatments. Analyse described the initiations as 'clearing the pipes' for the energy to flow through us, unimpeded. 'Think of the water pipes in two houses, a 'city house' & a summer home. If you turn on the faucet at home, the water runs clearly, while those in a place that's rarely used my sputter a bit, & run a bit cloudy. BOTH pipes have corrosion, but you don't observe that as much in the pipes that are used regularly.  'It's the same with people - some people naturally allow energy to flow, others don't; but both have 'blocks' that restrict the flow. The initation 'clears the pipes' in...

Rei Ki - the word

Reiki is written in two Japanese kanji or characters,  Spiritual (&) Energy The word 'Reiki' is used in the West to denote a healing system. The founder of our Modern Reiki System, Mikao Usui didn't use this term, his teachings were more commonly called 'Usui Do' (the Way of Usui) and the healings 'Usui teate' or Usui's form of hands-on healing. Later, the word Reiki was added or substituted, to signify the system utilized spiritual energy. In Chinese, the same two kanji are used for 'Ling Chi'   "Ling Chi is the subtylest and most highly refined of all the energies in the human system and the product of the most advanced stage of a practice, whereby the ordinary energy of the body are transformed into pure spiritual vitality. This type of highly refined energy enhances spiritual awareness, improves all cerebral functions, and constitutes the basic fuel for the highest level of spiritual work." (Ling Gung: Harnessing th...
