Relieve Neck Pain With Reiki!

Too much screen time and poor work setups can create neck tension. You can try Reiki at the home to get relief from pain. But before that, let us first understand what Reiki is.

Reiki comes from the Japanese word ‘Rei’, which means ‘universal life energy’. It is a hands-on and spiritual practice that helps heal the body and mind through gentle, non-intrusive touch and compassionate intention.

You can use Reiki as a complementary therapy to accelerate the healing process. If you think of the pathways of energy flowing in your body as rivers, Reiki is like sending a rush of water through and allowing it to flow wherever it is needed. The effect is believed to be profound.

Follow these steps to get relief from neck pain:

1. Place your hands on the sides of the neck with the fingers wrapping around to the back of the neck, fingers touching.

2. You can mentally draw the CKR symbol over the painful area, accompanied by hands-on therapy.

3. Treat for 5-10 minutes or as long as you feel the energy flowing.

4. Treat yourself by crossing your arms over your chest and placing your right hand on the left side of your neck and your left hand on the right with thumbs in front of the ears and fingers touching in back of the neck.

It is believed to reduce pain and tension, as well as leave one feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Unlike most other treatments, Reiki is a multi-purposed method that can heal both physical as well as emotional ailments.

Reiki energy healing complements self-care practices and supports healing in the deepest sense. You don’t have to be naturally-gifted at birth or trained from a young age for Reiki.

Reiki is great for creating a foundation into any energy healing practices you might be interested in at a later stage. Try it today and see its power unfold!

Vaastu-friendly Colours For Your Home!

According to Vaastu, colour is believed to bring in waves of required enthusiasm and increase positive vibes required for a particular environment. Every direction has elemental energy relating to a specific colour tone so make sure to focus on the direction and colours properly.

Pick colours in line with Vaastu to attract healing energy into your living space.

Living room

The living room should be built facing the north, east or north-east direction. Since it is a room that creates the first impression when guests arrive, make sure you use the right colours in this area. You can choose home wall paint according to Vaastu such as beige, cream and pink for your living room.

Bedroom

The bedroom should be located in the south-west direction as it is peaceful, perfect for rest and relaxation. For this corner of your home, you can opt for purple, mauve or brown wall shades.

Kids room

Any room for kids should be ideally constructed in the west. A kid’s room should always be bright as it not only helps enhance personality but also improves focus in academics. It is recommended that you go with light green or light yellow in this room as both colours are nurturing.

Kitchen

The kitchen should always be built in the south-east direction, which is considered to be the fire corner of the house. As per Vaastu, specific colours can help increase metabolism and improve digestion, leading to good health and prosperity. Best colours that can be used here are brick orange, brown, woody green and peach for the walls.

Dining room
