Reiki for Your New Life

by William Lee Rand

Reiki is an amazing energy that contains higher levels of consciousness. The higher consciousness within Reiki is aware of the energetic situation within and around the person(s) it works with and uses this information to create a healing experience that is exactly right for those it treats. This is why Reiki doesn’t need to be guided by the practitioner, but guides itself. Qualities of love, wisdom, patience, peace, joy, confidence and nurturing along with many other healthy states are part of this process. Reiki is able to identify those areas in need of healing and infusing them with these higher qualities, thus displacing all forms of negativity and leaving the person in a state of wholeness and well being. This is how Reiki heals; by improving the various states of consciousness within the body, mind and spirit.

The Health Benefits of Strawberries
Juicy, fresh strawberries are such a treat from Mother Nature. They were popular during the time of pilgrims, who described them to be “the wonder of all fruits growing naturally.” Strawberries are enjoyed raw, in salads, desserts, or as a breakfast. There are over 600 varieties of strawberries that differ in size, flavor, and texture. The most popular are Fragaria Virginiana. Here are some of the health benefits of eating strawberries.

* Strawberries contain a concentrated source of nutrients that make them a good for promoting good heart health. They also have anti-inflammatory properties.
* The ellagitannin content of strawberries has been associated with decreased rates of death from cancer. In one study, strawberries were shown to significantly inhibit the proliferation of human liver cancer cells.
* Strawberries have been shown to protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of age-related declines in brain function.
* It has been shown that strawberries provide humans with protection against inflammatory polyarthritis.
* The vitamin C in strawberries may promote joint health not only because it is a powerful antioxidant but because it is necessary for an enzyme that promotes the production of collagen.
* Strawberries contain vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, copper, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, folate, vitamin B6, potassium and vitamins B2 and B5.
* One cup of strawberries contains only 43 calories which makes them ideal for helping manage weight.
