Today I’d like to try to sum up the last 4 posts in anticipation of the conclusion that a balance of all four of these healths will lead to an overall sense of well-being…. which I refer to as Total Health and is pretty much the best that we could possible hope for. Oh yeah… BIAT, in case you’re wondering, stands for bringing it all together. 
Balancing Physical Health
The main idea behind balancing one’s physical health is keeping the physical energy channels unblocked and free from energetic clutter. Regular exercise, a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle go a long way towards achieving this. On those occasions when things go out of whack there is dis-ease, and while it is always advisable to see a doctor, Reiki is a wonderful supplement to any and all prescribed treatments. Regular Reiki treatments can keep the physical channels running smoothly, which will not only go a long way towards preventing dis-ease, but will also make you much more comfortable in the meantime.
Balancing Mental Health
The main idea behind balancing one’s mental health is keeping the mental energy channels unblocked and free from energetic clutter. Keeping the brain active is of vital importance to keep the brain sharp here as is keeping one’s memory in tune… the old adage use it or lose it is quite apropos here. Recently I’ve grown quite fond of Sudoku, and wholeheartedly recommend it as a powerful way to keep your brain sharp. Crosswords and other puzzles are also wonderful to that end as is simply reading. Regular Reiki treatments can keep the mental channels running smoothly, which will not only go a long way towards preventing mental imbalances, but again, make you much more comfortable in the meantime.
Balancing Emotional Health
The main idea behind balancing one’s emotional health is keeping the emotional energy channels unblocked and free from energetic clutter. The use it or lose it scenario applies here as well… you have to use your heart in order for it to function correctly. If you don’t love you can’t know love and hence can’t be loved (or if you were you wouldn’t recognize it as such). This is true of all other positive emotions as well, negative emotions are all the result of fear and the Reiki precept about letting go of worry is the quickest path to losing the accompanying fear. Regular Reiki treatments keep the emotional channels free from obstruction which is the quickest path to true and lasting happiness.
Balancing Spiritual Health
The main idea behind balancing one’s spiritual health is keeping the spiritual energy channels unblocked and free from energetic clutter. Regular meditation and a balanced approach on one’s journey on their s chosen spiritual path are vital for spiritual well-being and since Reiki is first and foremost a spiritual path in and of itself, making Reiki a part of that spiritual path, either through Reiki meditations, Reiki exercises and living a Reiki life.
Total Health
Now, once you’ve got all your ducks in a row, so to speak, that is, once you’ve got your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healths in balance you can be said to have achieved what I refer to as total health. Once you have done so it is easy to keep them all in check and it is easy to notice exactly where energetic imbalances occur.
One thing that is important to realize is that these healths are all intertwined. For example, meditation leads to better sleep and better sleep leads to increased physical, mental and emotional performance. So an energetic imbalance in any one of these can cause the whole system to be out of whack. <technical term>
Reiki healing and Reiki meditations work in a dimension that we are only just beginning to understand through advances in quantum physics. When we perform a physical healing, for example, we are not only balancing the physical energy channels, but while doing so, Reiki, understanding the laws of this dimension, also sees to it that the interconnections are balanced as well. There are all kinds of things going on behind the scenes, suffice it to say that Reiki knows what its doing so we don’t have to!
In conclusion to this Reiki balancing mini-series I would just like to add that your comments would be greatly appreciated to help us all better understand this aspect of Reiki. I am far from an expert, although I have chosen the path of Reiki Mastery which means that I am constantly endeavoring to understand more and find the best possible means to taking advantage of this wonderful thing called Reiki. So please do let me know what you think about all this.
