Energy Healing

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin.  The word Reiki is broken down in Japanese as Rei which means “Universal Life” and Ki which means “energy.” Reiki is a subtle and effective technique using spiritually guided life force energy. Reiki is considered the energy that flows through all living things.  Reiki practitioners believe that everyone has the ability to use their own healing energy and also bolster that energy in themselves to help others. It is believed that a person’s ki, or energy, should be nurtured to keep it strong and free flowing.  When this happens, a person’s physical and mental state is in good health. When the energy becomes weak, or dulled, it can cause symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance. Reiki is believed to have been started with Mikao Usui, who is credited with discovering this root system.  His findings and methods were taught down through several grandmasters of Reiki.  The Usui System of Natural Healing is the most widely practiced form of Reiki. Practitioners are trained through a four level process where Masters pass on their knowledge to their students. In the final level, the practitioner becomes a Master themself. Reiki energy flows through the practitioner, out of the hands, and into the patient. The Reiki practitioner will move through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the person's head or feet. A patient might feel a warming or tingling sensation during the session, or sometimes nothing but a calm relaxation. Reiki should be very pleasant, relaxing, and invigorating. Reiki is great for stress reduction, relaxation, and wellness. Reiki is not a cure for any disease or illness, but assists in allowing the body to focus on healing itself by calming stress. Reiki is a great complement to acupuncture and traditional medicine. Reiki helps meditative states, promotes personal awareness, enhances spiritual connection, fosters natural self healing, relaxes and reduces stress, balances energies in the body, and relieves pain and discomfort.

crystal Light bed

A Crystal Bed has 7 quartz crystals suspended approximately 15 inches above the recipient lying on a massage table. Each crystal is aligned above one of the seven human energy centers or chakras. The Crystal Bed is a healing tool that uses specially cut and lit clear quartz crystal from Abadania, Brazil. The crystals are positioned over the seven major energy centers, commonly known as "chakras". Pulsating colored light is transmitted through the crystals to bathe each chakra in a pattern of healing light. The Crystal Healing Beds create a portal for the Spirit Healing Doctors to channel their physical and spiritual healing energies. Colored lights radiate light and energy through the crystals to each respective chakra, and shine on and off in certain rhythms to cleanse, balance, and align your energies. The individual receiving the session rests face up with eyes closed, bathing in the energy. The colored lights are chosen to match the frequency of the chakra colours, that radiate light and energy through the crystals to the respective chakras to cleanse them and balance their energies. While under the lights the crystal lights deliver chroma therapy, which is color wave-length therapy. Chroma therapy is used for a variety of healthful benefits such as boosting the immune system and decreasing stress. Many have reported health benefits and personal experiences after Crystal Bed Sessions such as: improvements in health conditions, feeling more energy and vitality, relaxed, rejuvenated, and peaceful, eliminating stress, depression, migraines, anxiety, panic attacks and tension. Many have reported a deeper spiritual understanding of yourself, and your life situations. It is used to release unconscious behaviours and to gain insight as to the cause of your dis-ease, guidance to your future path, and more. The benefit is a feeling of deep peace and calm which allows the energy body to align and balance itself. A wonderful treatment for de-stressing and calming, this light bed can also be used to bring about a deep meditative state. Crystal Bed Healing stimulates the body’s potential for self-healing, using seven quartz crystals to generate energy to cleanse, clear and raise the vibration of your chakras. This allows for the acceleration of the healing process and overall well-being. It is advisable to rest after a crystal bed healing session and to drink water over the next several hours to help rid the body of any toxins which tend to be released through the cleansing action of the crystal bed session.

sound healing

At Calypso Eastern Medicine, Sound healing is used during acupuncture to resonate the needles, conducting electric signals with the nervous system. Singing bowls, a Monochord harp, and swinging chimes are used to anchor the body into the treatment. Singing bowls are metal and crystal bowls used to deepen meditation and promote relaxation. They produce sustained sounds and vibrations when hit or circled with a mallet. Bowls of varying sizes are placed around the room, around your body, or on your body. In addition to relaxation, people say singing bowl sound therapy can help lessen chronic pain, improve sleep, reduce anger, improve blood pressure, improve respiratory rate, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve symptoms of some neurological disorders. Research at McGill University has explored the neurochemistry of music. The researchers noted that sound therapy is an ancient art that has migrated in the past several decades into clinical settings. Clinicians use it for pain management, relaxation, psychotherapy, and personal growth.
