In this article we get a close perspective on Reiki by certified reiki grandmaster Dr Disha.
Dr.Disha : I was initiated into Reiki at the age of 8 years old. Initially when I started learning about Reiki, it was purely out of curiosity, no one spoke about Reiki then. Initially I would practice Reiki for self-healing and self-awareness. It will be 28 years this December when I first started doing Reiki.
Dr.Disha: Though I was practising Reiki for self-healing purposes, the feeling of providing healing to others was always there. In-fact it was a driving force for me to start as a reiki master practitioner.The satisfaction of trust that a person places in you for healing them is a powerful means of guidance.
Dr.Disha: I connect with the person through their energy. Every living being has a unique energy; I harness on this unique energy to be able to help them. The person need not be in front of me, Reiki done by distance is equally effective and I have had profound results.
Dr.Disha: Reiki is a holistic approach towards dealing with the problems a person has. I get a feeling of warmth, whilst sending Reiki. As a certified reiki healer, first I focus on analyzing their chakras and then on cleaning the channels for receiving energy. People fall ill when their chakras are out of balance or blocked. Reiki unblocks the energy channels and fills the body with positive energy.
Speaking practically for connecting with the logical minds – two people speak over a mobile phone irrespective of the make of phone, network, without any physical presence. This would have sounded bizarre a few decades ago but in today’s age it isn’t. Reiki works the same way. We are all connected to universal energy, we only need to be aware of it. Each living body is a miracle in its own self. I, as a certified Reiki master can guide you through it, but it's your own belief and trust that will make it work.
Dr.Disha: Yes, there are so many but some have touched my heart and I will share those with you. Reiki is done for all living beings be it animals or humans and does not discriminate.
When the owner approached me, I did not feel that there was any fracture, during the healing session, instead felt there was an emotional fear. Upon an x-ray, it was known there was no fracture of any kind but Bruno had gone into shock, due to fear. With regular healings for 3 days, Bruno returned to his happy self as if nothing had happened.
2. I was once approached by parents whose baby was born insulin deficient. through reiki healing I was able to balance out the sugar levels in her. She later became a reiki channel herself and learnt to balance her sugar levels herself.
Reiki is useful in all types of illnesses. Some of the other cases that I have handled as a reiki master healer are managing depression without medications, channeling the energy of ADHD and other special kids towards a better creative outlet, to reduce medication under supervision of a doctor for an ongoing cancer patient by 70%.
Reiki is also used to manage and impart life skills to students to help them with exam anxiety, lost concentration and focus, etc.
Dr.Disha: Yes. Animals and children are great receptors to healing. Their minds are not cluttered with thoughts and processes. The complexity of life, which we have created for ourselves, does not exist in their world. They absorb everything coming their way. Everyone is born with Reiki, as it’s our connection with universal energy.
With growing years, our chakras become imbalanced with negative energies (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual). Weaker parts of the body become the trigger points for portrayal of these negative energies as diseases or ailments. For example: In Cancer, the damage reaches the cellular level in the body and starts to spread rapidly. Threshold of every person is different and hence how an imbalance affects each individual is different. Reiki is given with the intention of higher good and hence an immense positive effect.
Dr.Disha: I would personally ask people to be more receptive to the idea of energy healing . Although awareness is growing in society/ people than before, which is very positive but not enough. Every living body is capable of healing on its own, which is a sign that our body is our own doctor. In chronic illness, there is an absence of self-healing. This is a sign that symptoms that our body repeatedly gives us should not be ignored. There is a lot of good in the world, our problems are our own manifestations. So let go of the past, or of thoughts that bring you discomfort. Manifest on the good, let go of the bad.

Simplify your life with Reiki energy therapy and take control of your life back.
Life is simple. Haven’t we heard this statement quite often and from many people? Can life be simple when we have deadlines to meet, goals to achieve, people to compete with, stay healthy, look pretty and do all this within 24 hours? Phew, that is tough.
Amidst all the chaos, we lose sight of our health to a set of ugly emotions called criticism, anger, anxiety, stress, frustration and irritation. Can life be ever simple? “It can never be.” That was my conclusion a few years back.
Over a period of time working with Reiki therapy and other similar healing modalities, I have come to a deeper understanding of what life is or, what life can be.
Life is being in the now. Most importantly, life is all about being happy and loving yourself. Life, for me, is giving myself the breathing space to pursue what I like, do what I love and spend quality time with people I love. With this definition, it did feel life is simple.
Being a Reiki therapy channel, I have always believed in the inner wisdom or gut feeling that each of us have. This inner wisdom has given me the strength, responsibility and, most of all, the freedom to choose. Sometimes, we tend to choose what might be best for others or what is socially acceptable. In all this, we tend to brush aside the little voice in us which is the true identity of what our soul desires.
Reiki founder Dr Mikao Usui has taught very simple but truly governing principles for humankind. When we learn Level 1 of Reiki energy therapy, it’s very easy for a Reiki channel to brush aside these five principles..However, the minute a Reiki channel starts to see the value of these principles, they are on a divine path of enlightenment and, more so, on a path of eternal happiness.
However, the minute a Reiki channel starts to see the value of these principles, they are on a divine path of enlightenment and, more so, on a path of eternal happiness. These principles form the core of a happy life. These principles are profound, can be used by everyone. These five principles can form a true essence of one’s life.
Read: What is Reiki therapy and how it works?
While Reiki taught me how to heal myself and others, these five principles have taught me how to lead a simple and happy life. I have also come to realise that the minute we have a quiet mind, we have easily launched ourselves into a life of easy manifestations and vibrancy. A clear mind works very effective in perceiving situations better. Hence, we have better relationships. A clear mind can vibrate and attract all that we aspire. The list is endless.
So what’s stopping us from venturing into the world of Reiki energy therapy? It’s the mind again. How would this world be if we parked our egos and our analytical minds aside and simply embraced all of this ancient wisdom?

Past life memories are like an autobiography of your eternal soul, personal stories that explain who you are now and why you’re here on earth. Past Life Regression or popularly known as PLR is a therapeutic technique for accessing and re-experiencing your past lives directly.
Many people who undergo a regression and successfully remember a past life are able to watch the scenes unfold like a movie, witnessing the life in a linear fashion from birth to death.
The start of the journey
Vasavi started on this journey 24 years back. She was undergoing a lot of work and personal stress and had constant headaches. To get over her stress she practiced yoga and pranayama, also tried her hand at a counselling session. All these efforts helped her to some extent, but she never reached an optimum health condition.
When a friend recommended her to meet a famous PLR healer, she underwent regression and found the reasons for her health challenges post which she got healed. She was so impressed with this therapy that she took this up as a profession. She trained under several gurus including famous American PLR practitioner Bruce Goldberg and has now become an accomplished practitioner.
We asked her to clarify certain queries, which clients normally have on PLR.
Hypnotherapy and PLR
There is a lot of confusion between hypnotherapy and PLR; Hypnotherapy is a process, a technique which is used to regress a client to access the past. The practitioner uses hypnotherapy techniques to give suggestions to the subconscious mind, though ultimately it is up to the client to accept it or not.
While PLR is a procedure, the entire session where the client regresses to relive his past emotions, actions, relations, beliefs which have led to the current situation. Some of the techniques used during the session are hypnotherapy, are age regression, inter life regression which takes you through different past lives trying to pinpoint which life was the source of your current issue.
When a person comes out of the trance, they generally remember what they had seen or felt. In her experience only 1% of the clients don’t remember what they had gone through the session.

PLR and children
PLR sessions are possible with children over 12 years. In case of younger children, its better to teach relaxation and meditation techniques to the parents, and guide them on how to take their kids through it.
Health issues resolved through PLR
PLR is very useful to solve behavioural and relationship issues, conflict situations, fears and phobias, feelings of anger, panic, depression, and other emotional issues. PLR has been also helpful in chronic diseases like cancer in trying to find the root cause, i.e. why has it originated?
Read the story of a young boy whom Vasavi helped from a heart disorder through PLR
Root cause found, what next?
Once the reason for the issue has been identified, techniques like imagery, visualisations, meditations, affirmations, relaxation techniques, and many more are done to heal the issue. Though a lot depends on the client, to what extent she is willing to work on herself and let go.
A to Z – PLR techniques
PLR has many different modalities, depending on the situation and client condition, the practitioner will decide which modality should be used. Practitioners use their intuition and sixth sense to decided during a session which combination of techniques to use for best results.
Bruce Goldenberg, the famous PLR practitioner, talks from his own experiences and not from any definitions.
Side effects: this is a non-invasive therapy
There are no side effects of PLR, in case the therapist is unable to handle the situation, at the most the client will sleep for some time and get up without remembering much of what happened. PLR helps bridge conscious and sub conscious mind. During the session the clients are generally aware of what is happening. In some cases, where they are not, it is like getting up after a long sleep.
PLR = supernatural
Some people expect to get supernatural powers, development of some 6th sense, but that is not possible.
How much time does it take?
Not easy to predict. It depends on the client, how much they are willing to discuss and open about their issues, the severity of the issue and the depth of the past emotion affecting the present situation.
Example, for a client undergoing depression treatment for the last couple of years or a serious ailment like cancer it may take around 3 months, starting with one session a week, to one session in 15 days and finally one session a month. As compared to someone with a knee pain who will get healed within 1 to 3 sessions.
Are Karma and PLR related?
Karma is our thoughts, our actions and the outcome of what we are doing. Removing karma means ‘paschathapa’. In PLR sessions, clients become aware about the reasons of their issues, become aware of the solution or change that is needed to resolve their issue. Then it is upto them, if they wish to make that change or not. After knowing all, someone may still continue doing what they were doing expecting different results. That is not possible.
PLR has helped millions of clients worldwide, healclinic has a panel of PLR practitioners who can help resolve different issues.

There are many myths and misconecptions surrounding PLR, and people have formed their opinions based on the many TV programs and how it is depicted in the movies.
So what exactly is PLR, or why should anybody go for one.
What issues can be resolved through PLR? What is involved in a PLR session?
We understand that when we make a choice, it has a consequence. But do you know that the consequences can be over live times. Past Life Regression (PLR) Therapy helps you understand and resolve patterns, behaviors, habits or beliefs that may have originated sometime earlier in this life or even before this life
PLR works very well in uncovering the Why’s of your phobias, fears, anxiety, belief patterns, habits, physical illness and emotions. It can help you understand why certain relations are strained or not a per how you would want them to be. Why do you have some habits which you find it very difficult to break.
Once you understand the reasons and become aware of the Why’s, it becomes easier to handle them and heal them.
Once we decide to go for a PLR session, the next question that bothers us is “Will this work for me?” Remember, PLR session is like reading a book or watching a movie. It is upto you how much you allow yourself to get into the flow or involved with the characters. A few tips to remember while going in for a PLR session,
The more relaxed and open you are, the most effective the session will be. PLR sessions have helped people resolve some of their biggest issues.

We have an old world saying that goes ‘the earth laughs in flowers’. No one has understood this saying better than Dr Edward Bach who in his wisdom developed Bach Flower Remedies as an alternate and definitely the most fragrant form of alternate medicine.
Dr Edward Bach an eminent Physician, about 80 years ago, let go of his flourishing practice of Homeopath, decided to venture into knowing and extracting the essence of flowers full time. He left bustling London and put in all his efforts into finding out the affect plants especially flowers have on our health and daily life.
According to Bach, illness is a result of deviation from a soul’s purpose in life and the personality’s outlook which often result in energy blocking causing loss of harmony and an ongoing internal war within our body.
When negative emotions such as fear, worry, stress, indecisiveness prevail in our body, our being finds it difficult to heal itself. By the essence extracted from flowers, Bach aims at creating an environment conducive for the body to mend itself. They gently restore the balance between mind and body by casting our negative emotions such as fear, worry, hatred and indecision which interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole.
Bach classifies the flower essence into 38 categories based on 38 flower extracts. He did so instinctively and with the help of his psychic connection with the plants rather than on the basis of scientific data. He then through much research later termed the final essence as ‘mother tincture’ which needs to be diluted before use or sale.
Another feature of this treatment is that it is completely safe to use. It can be safely administered to both children as well as the elderly. It can also be used along with other forms of medicine be it conventional or alternative. It can be taken either in a 30ml/1 once treatment bottle filled with spring water or as 4 drops 4 times a day until relief is obtained. Incase water is unavailable, you can take it undiluted either in the mouth or rub it behind the ears or the insides of your wrists. As a preservative option, brandy, apple cider vinegar or vegetable glycerin can be used to dilute.
To help us understand Bach Flower treatment better, below are a few illustrations based on case studies. The first case study is of a meek 10 year old who was always nervous and constantly complained of tummy aches. She suffered from low self confidence and also indecisiveness. According to her mother, she for many days struggled with the decision as to whether she wanted to go to the school trip with her friends or not. Her mother, after a colleague’s recommendation introduced the little girl to Bach Flower Remedies was shocked to see the change in her meek little girl. She was much more confident and strong. She ultimately decided to go to the field trip and had a gala time there.
Second is the case of Romita, who is a breast cancer survivor. She suddenly seems to lose her appetite and her resistance to pain. A woman with a positive outlook was a shadow of herself; she experienced frequent blackouts and was depressed all day. After a recommendation from a friend, Romita started using Back Flower essence as instructed by her practioner. She used it on and off for 48 hours and felt a vast difference in herself. She was calmer and more enthusiastic. Just a few sips of the formula was needed to calm her and soon she was back to being herself.

We, from time in memorial have understood the importance and influence of nature and also the role it plays in prevention and cure of various diseases. Bach Flower Remedies reinforces this belief system. The essences can help us to improve our emotional and mental state thus balancing the body and the mind. As Dr. Edward Bach so eloquently put it “healing with the clean, pure, beautiful agents of nature is surely one method of all which appeals to most of us”.

Yeay!!! You are now a MOTHER. The struggles of pregnancy now seem irrelevant. The days of morning sickness, achy backs, insomnia seems like a thing of the past once you set your eyes on the tiny miracle that you brought into this world. Now that you are responsible for another life apart from yours, it becomes very essential that you care for your health. And what is better than Postpartum yoga for health?
Postpartum care is the first few weeks upon delivery where the body heals itself from the harrowing experience that is childbirth. This is the time to take it easy, rest as much as possible and heal. The period after delivery is sometimes referred to as the fourth trimester and this is the time to recover physically with yoga after delivery and a great time to bond with the newborn.
Some women think that they will return back to their pre-pregnancy bodies as soon as they have given birth. But your body has seen enormous change- there are bruised and torn tissues that need to be healed, labor itself is pretty hard on your body, you need to recover from it, milk production needs to get underway. Plus the uterus that has been stretched to its limit needs to contract to its pre-pregnancy size.
According to our Yoga therapist, women with vaginal deliveries can start after 2 months and C section moms after 3 months can start Postnatal or postpartum Yoga. Mommies are encouraged to take light walks and also advised to wrap their bellies with postnatal wraps. This not only helps stabilize their stomachs but also supports lower back and boosts confidence.
The key word here is taking it slow. Everything has to be done in a slow and steady pace so as to not shock the body. Care has to be taken while practicing asana and yoga for new moms as the pregnancy hormone Relaxin, which helps in relaxing of joints and thereby allows for widening of hips to facilitate childbirth, is also elevated and will remain so for the next six months or so. This means all of your joints are looser hence less stable.
Read: Preparing childbirth with pre natal yoga
The pushing done during labor makes for a compromised pelvic floor. Shishuasana or child pose asana helps in not only strengthening of the pelvic floor but also provide the hips and the spine with gentle stretching that it needs. One of the major joys of motherhood is tending to the every need of the newborn from breastfeeding to rocking her back to sleep. This results in a tired neck and shoulders to loss of endurance. Gomukhasana and Virabhadrasana not only help build stamina but also provide well needed relief to those tired muscles.
One of the most common physical changes a new mother finds is her protruding belly. There are a lot of asanas and yogas and breathing exercises which go a long way in strengthening your abdominal muscles. But remember, it took nine long months for your stomach to increase, so don’t expect results overnight.
The advantage of postpartum yoga is that it not only boosts your immune system but also improves your posture and balance. Lack of sleep is one of the features of a new mom. Sleep deprivation not only results in depression but also adversely affects the quality of breast milk and decreases your memory and focus. Yoga for mommies not only helps you to focus but also ups the production of serotonin which decreases the chance of postpartum depression. Balancing of wayward hormones and stress can be tackled with various asanas and yogas and breathing exercises. Although, all exercises and post pregnancy yoga should be done under supervision as the wrong type could have an adverse affect on your body and sometimes leads to umbilical hernias.
In conclusion, giving birth is a life changing experience. It is also a body changing experience. Postpartum Yoga may be the last thing on your mind but a few minutes a day practicing it can help you reconnect with your mind and body and help you stay in shape both mentally and physically for the adventure called Parenthood.

You are getting Sleepy..!!! You can only listen to the sound of my voice!!! How often have we seen a hypnotist say such words in a movie or play and dismissed it as some kind of a hoax. Most of us, thanks to such a portrayal, associate hypnosis to some sort of magic, especially dark magic. But Hypnosis is in reality an effective tool to deal with anxiety, stress, pain and in medical conditions.
Let’s find out more about healing hypnosis or hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a guided relaxation technique with intense concentration and focused attention in order to attain a heightened state of awareness like in a trance. When in such a state, the person is so focused that he blocks out everything around him. This helps the therapist suggest and explore the subconscious mind. Hypnosis acts as an aid to psychotherapy. Hypnosis is usually done by the therapist using verbal repetitions and mental images. Under hypnosis patients are usually very calm and open to suggestions.
People have been entering into hypnotic trance for thousands of years in different religions and cultures. But the scientific concept of hypnotherapy wasn’t until the 1700’s. In conventional hypnotherapy, you approach the suggestion of the therapist or your own as if they are real. For example, if the therapists suggest that you are a bird, you think of yourself as a bird and start chirping like a bird. Essentially, you are playing pretend at a very intense level. In this state we are uninhabited and relaxed maybe because we block out our surroundings including our worries and problems and only listen to what is suggested by the hypnotising therapist.
Though sleep hypnotherapy is a controversial subject, most therapists agree that it can be used as an effective technique towards a wide range of mental health conditions such as anxiety, mood disorders, depression, sleep disorders, phobias, fears, stress ,post trauma anxiety, grief and loss etc. Since it can be used to change one’s perception and sensation, it becomes an effective method in dealing with pain. As people under hypnosis are open to change, we can use it to modify behavior like quit smoking, nail biting, over eating, bed wetting etc.
Certain dermatological conditions can also be helped by hypnosis as it taps into the autoimmune system of the body which controls the blood flow, breathing, digestion and the body’s immune system. It is also used to manage pains of chemotherapy in patients suffering from cancer.
Hypnotherapy is also used as an analytical tool for mental health. It can be used to explore causes for some disorders or symptoms which have been subconsciously suppressed .It could be a trauma or event which is hidden from her conscious memory. Once the trauma is ascertained, it can be then addressed in psychotherapy
Under hypnosis, the doorway between the conscious and the subconscious mind is open and hence access to certain stored memory can be approached and negative imprints reframed. So, it becomes an effective mental health tool. Many times it is used as a tool to understand the root cause of the physical ailment which the client has been suffering. This helps the hypnotist to heal the cause and speeden the recovery of the physical ailment
Hypnotherapy is one of the most respected forms of alternative therapy for both the mind and the body. We now see many therapists, medical doctors, psychotherapists recommending hypnotherapy to their patients in conjunction with mainstream medicine.

An expectant mother is often bombarded with horror stories of labor pains. Birthing is always assumed to be highly painful and extremely uncomfortable. Infact most women get so traumatized by these negative stories that they start to dread childbirth. This can lead to unnecessary stress and complications. The answer to all questions related to birth pain is mindful hypnobirthing. There has always been a debate among birth keepers around the world as to whether pain does or does not exist in childbirth with each group sticking firmly to its stance. We still do not believe in a pain free childbirth and the mothers who say that they had comfortable or minimal pain childbirth are assumed to be extremely lucky or having high threshold for pain. Or maybe we can say that they have practiced hypnobirthing! Most women are encouraged to take pain medications or epidurals in order to have a comfortable birthing experience.
When a person undergoes hypnosis, her mind is in the state of deep relaxation blocking all outside distractions. In this state, a person is more open to suggestions and hence certain beliefs and behaviors can be modified. When a woman opts for hypnobirthing, suggestions are made to replace fear and expectations of pain into a painless, safe and comfortable birth. Hypnobirthing is a method that prepares and guides a woman into giving birth in a natural, gentle and pain free manner. It is a program where the physical and psychological well being of the mother, the birth partner as well as the newborn is taken into consideration and this can be done anywhere from a hospital setting to even the quiet comfort of your home.
Hypnobirthing is a unique prenatal program that teaches expectant mothers simple but specific self hypnosis techniques which include special breathing techniques, relaxation, visualization, affirmations in order to foster a much easier, gentler birth which is often associated with significant reduction in pain. Hypnobirthing does not teach mothers how to give birth because according to therapists give a mother an undisturbed and safe environment and her primal brain takes over and her body automatically gives birth.
Most of our lives we are conditioned to believe that pains are associated with childbirth. This extreme fear causes the body to tense up and normal physiological functions are affected which results in exactly what they feared- painful and sometimes interventional birthing. Hence birthing mothers are taught to relax and banish fear so that ‘feel good’ hormones like endorphins and serotonin are released. This they say relaxes a mother to a point where she feels less pain or no pain at all.
Advantages of hypnotherapy birth which are supported by evidence are fewer cases of preeclampsia, fewer intervention or surgical births, shorter first and second phase of labor, happier and content mothers and babies which result in healthier kids when they grow up. Also no postpartum depression was found in hypnobirthing mothers.
Read: prenatal yoga to your rescue
Couples who followed hypnobirthing, say how easy and gentle their birthing experience was. Some have reported that how empowered and proud they felt and went on to describe their child birth as one of the most memorable experiences of their life.
We can conclude in the words of Ms Marie Morgan who is credited to being one of the founders of hypnobirthing who says “when a healthy woman gives birth to a healthy baby, experiencing a healthy labor, trusts birth, is free of fear and is appropriately relaxed, her body will function normally without pain or incident.”
