Picture the scene… you’ve got a client in a nice state of trance and now you want to sit back for a moment and allow them the space to do some inner processing. The problem is, as soon as you stop talking there’s this long, uncomfortable silence. Wouldn’t it be great to have some gentle music in the background to hold the space and create a sense of safety and privacy for the client?

Good hypnotherapy music can create a comfortable blanket of sound that lets the client know they can relax and focus their attention on their subconscious processes.

Why use hypnotherapy music?

Nobody can claim that using ambient background music is essential to a hypnotherapy session, but there are at least three good reasons why you might find this music a good partner and ally in your work:

1. it enables you, as the therapist, to relax and to rest when the client is in a state of trance
   
2. it creates a sense of privacy for the client to focus their attention on their inner processes
   
3. the positive resonance of the music acts as a hypnotic suggestion for the client to relax more deeply

When a client is in a deep state and is processing emotions, the last thing you want is for them to begin to feel self-conscious and awkward. Some gentle music in the background can help create a sense of privacy for them and encourage them to open up more.

The aim of hypnotherapy music is not necessarily to induce trance — rather it is to maintain and deepen existing states of relaxation and inward focus. The music actually acts as a kind of indirect hypnotic suggestion to the client to relax, and as hypnotherapists know — it’s those indirect suggestions that really get into the subconscious mind and create powerful change.

What music works best for hypnotherapy and hypnosis?

Once you’ve decided that some background music will be a great partner in your therapy sessions, the next step is to find the best type of music. But warned — just because music says it’s suitable for hypnosis or hypnotherapy doesn’t mean it actually is!

Hypnotherapists need music that has these important characteristics:

• It must be pleasing to listen to, but it must not draw attention to itself with distracting melodies
  
• It must be positive and gently uplifting
  
• It must be even-toned so that it is capable of being played at low volume without the quieter sections dropping below the audible range
  
• tracks should be of a decent length to cut down on the silences between tracks

Using good ambient music for hypnotherapy and other modalities like reiki and bodywork is a great way to allow both you and your client to relax more deeply and to open the mind and heart to positive and transformative states of being.

Reiki massage is a form of energy healing treatment that sends out energy and is directed into the Chakra points. It is completely harmless and safe to use because it does not involve heavy skin to skin contact or massage.

Reiki massage is the treatment wherein spiritual energy is used and goes directly through the body’s Chakra points. It incorporates healing in varying aspects of the recipient and may have little or no skin-to-skin contact. The word “reiki” is a Japanese kanji or Japanese words that are put together. Rei means “universal spirit” and ki means “life energy” and reiki means “universal life energy”. Massage is the process wherein the therapist rubs different parts of the body for an invigorating and refreshing feeling. Some therapists that are trained in massaging and also took Reiki attunement classes are called Reiki therapists and sometimes they use reiki and massage altogether to provide the maximum health benefits the recipient can get.

This massage is expected to have positive results such as providing pain relief and overall physical, mental, emotional or spiritual wellness. Commonly, this massage does not incorporate skin contact from the practitioner to the recipient, but the practitioner’s hand remains still and transmits Reiki energy into the recipient’s body, which is spiritually guided and gives healing results. It is believed to treat muscle pain, any form of injury, tension, TMJ (also known as lock-jaw), stress and so much more.

The Reiki massage can be used in two different ways.

healing from a distance

The recipient is advised to go to a relaxing place of their choice or set up a comfortable place inside their house where they will not be disturbed from any event in and outside their home. The practitioner will start the treatment and transmit Reiki energies from their body to the recipient. This all happens from a distance.

In-person healing

This form of healing is used when the practitioner is present and can interact physically with the recipient. The recipient is advised to lie on a mat or preferably a massage table and not advised to be naked. It is important to be completely comfortable and open to the healing energy one will receive during treatment. The treatment area should be relaxing; put aromatherapy scents around the room, play soothing music, etc. just to place the recipient in a relaxed state. The practitioner transmits reiki energies from their hands to the recipient’s body by gently touching different parts of the body.

The beauty of Reiki massage is that everybody can enjoy them but everybody can learn how to give them as well.

We are living in times of immense change. Change so great, it would take our mind just beyond the limit of our current belief and perceptions, a line many are currently unwilling to cross. Now is the time when we feel the overwhelming urge to seek spiritual guidance. The simple practice of daily meditation reconnects us to the eternal source of oneness, from which we are all a part of.

Many people list body and health benefits of meditation such as lower stress, mental clarity, and improved blood pressure, but the spiritual benefits are worth more than words can describe.

*Observing time slow down to the point of questioning its existence is an experience only described through concepts and abstract meanings. It’s like taking a relaxing tube ride down the all knowing, always flowing stream of consciousness*

*Experiencing full awareness of the one, omnipresent consciousness, is as humbling as it is exhilarating. It is a powerful reminder that we are on a journey in which we can create anything we want.*

*Achieving deep meditative states allows escape from the ego into a place where judgments and fears are quelled and only pure unconditional love exits.*

*When we achieve these clear, deep realms of stillness, we are reminded that this is our intrinsic nature; pure, timeless, unbounded awareness. We simply are this awareness in a perpetual state of false-awakening as we live a dream of ourselves.*

It is the deep connection we experience during meditation and that enlightens us, and allows us to grow. Achieving deep meditation states can be as easy as breathing deeply and listening to meditation music with binaural beats. Binaural beats help synchronize brain waves and achieve deep, altered states of consciousness. At FreemeditationMusic.org you’ll find 8 free meditation tracks with binaural beats to help you reach those clear, blissful realms of consciousness. These meditation tracks 30 minutes long, and are completely free.

If you are looking for on how to open your Chakra, then just doing meditation will not give you quick results. Experimenting with meditation music helps in stimulating your Chakras at a faster rate. Chakra music uses binaural beats which target every 7 Chakras and helps in stimulation. The various level of frequency generated by different sounds and along with meditation is a powerful way to open Chakras. The beats help in generating immense flow of energy in your body.

There are no side effects or adverse effects of this therapy and when you regularly perform it you will soon see some quick results and feel the energy flowing through each Chakra. More and more people are getting inclined towards Chakra meditation music as the results are far more than a normal meditation exercise. Since not all Chakras get stimulated with the same frequency hence one sound effect will stimulate one of your Chakras but will not have any effects on the others. So binaural beats are very important because they fine tune and help in balancing all the Chakras.

You can find many online live examples of people benefited by adopting music meditation to open the Chakras. But it is very important that you take guidance from an expert to do all the exercises correctly as if you perform it wrong you will not get any results or even have adverse effects. Hence it is always recommended that a proper training guru who guides you through each step to be considered before practicing it independently. If you make meditation a part of your daily routine the benefits that you will get will be incredible. It will help in improving your lifestyle, mental as well as physical stability. Take out some time from your busy schedule and make meditation a regular exercise.

The next time you reach for that bottle of pills ask yourself, are they helping me to heal or simply masking or erasing the symptoms of what needs to heal. Until an illness is healed those sometimes painful symptoms will constantly reappear.

The energy Mikao Usui named Reiki Ryoho, commonly referred to as Reiki, goes to the core of what needs to be healed not masking the symptoms. healing is a natural process, as opposed to curing that often consists of removal of body tissues or adding man made materials to work with the human tissues. The licensed medical professional that has not only his or her medical experience and education to offer, but also the unique form of universal energy called Reiki flowing through him or her is becoming less rare as the benefits of Reiki are recognized.

The spiritual practice of Reiki balances the whole person and surrounds with harmony. What is in balance and surrounded with harmony heals. Thus, Reiki promotes and speeds healing deep within the mind, body, and spirit.

People today have a tendency to skip that chapter that tells why rest is the most important element in good health and jump right into reading the chapter that explains how turning the engine over prevents congestion and stagnation. When rest time is limited Reiki takes center stage in helping to optimize the efficacy of nourishment, medication, and any treatments. Every tissue within your body has a unique task that is part of keeping all systems up and running. Each tissue requires energy, and Reiki is a form of energy that can adjust to any vibration needed. Most Reiki practitioners begin a session in a manner that is most comfortable for him or her. What follows is the tissues within the client’s body guiding the practitioner’s hands and holding them in various locations. Reiki flows to wherever a need exists, but the practitioner’s hands being guided to a specific area decreases the traveling Reiki must do.

Most healing sessions last from forty-five to ninety minutes. Some imbalances in the body are more comfortably controlled by multiple sessions. Simmon Mills and Kerry Bone when writing about herbal medicine give a general rule of thumb the time required for healing to happen. They suggest allowing three months of treatments for an illness of a year’s standing and a month for every further year. Receiving daily Reiki sessions is best, but each person working with a practitioner can work with what fits into his or her life. Reiki will only flow as much as cells can hold at one time. Once that energy has been exhausted it is best for the cells to receive more energy with which to repair, remove, and rebuild. When you think of cells using energy, go back to the ATP molecules you learned about in biology 101. If there are no imbalances that require energy, Reiki flows to the whole person boosting the repair, release, and rebuilding always happening at all levels within us. Many illnesses come from failure to cope with infections introduced into the body or the body not having adequate defenses. On those days when you simply have given your all to a project it is nice to feel your all recharging in the relaxing peaceful manner of a Reiki session. Often following a session people experience a feeling of lightness as unwanted encumbrances have been released with no pain or effort to him or her.

Some critics question the healing of a Reiki session because Reiki practitioners do not do adjustments or use needles, tuning forks, or any such things. The power of energy coming directly from the universe only needs the person through which it flows to have learned the discipline required, and to have achieved the spiritual growth to open up to it. Today there are many qualified Reiki Shihans (teachers), and checking a Reiki practitoners lineage back to Mikao Usui can easily show you her or his qualifications.

If you have convinced yourself you cannot heal or are simply unhappy with your life, your body follows those and other thought waves that such thinking attracts to you. In a relaxing and peaceful reiki healing session, peace and tranquility are created. In that safe relaxed state, your brain waves slow down and your thoughts drift away from the negative, allowing room for the positive to flow in. With positive energy flowing in you feel homeostasis happening in your mind, body, and spirit, and are ready for life’s challenges.

If you have been putting something off that you know you should do, you can view it in a different light. Tension headaches become history. Breaks from chronic pain give you time to sit back, enjoy the relief, and collect your thoughts while healing is taking place within you. Pain drains a lot of energy from you and relaxation plus the unique from of energy called Reiki are important ingredients in the recipe for health and happiness.

Reiki practitioners and teachers do not promise instant cures, but healing does happen in the way that is best for each individual receiving at that time. Following a trauma, surgery, or other professional medical treatments Reiki helps the whole person (or animal as Reiki supports all life) to realign so that the mind and body are connected and working together in a harmonic way. The Cartesian body-mind split common in conventional medical practices can be healed through Reiki sessions. Reiki gives support to medications and treatments given by professional medical doctors, and helps to minimize side effects.

A reiki healing session is perfect before and after holidays, big events and celebrations, or any time you simply would like to be at your best.

No one knows your body better then you do. How many times have you known something was wrong even though medical tests were negative? There are no tests with Reiki, and neither Reiki practitioners nor teachers diagnose or prescribe treatments unless he or she is also a licensed medical professional qualified to do so. Because Reiki travels to areas that may not be showing any symptoms of an illness, healing can begin in the early stages before an illness falls into the crisis category. The more in balance your mind and body are the easier it is for you to heal from any health crisis that comes on suddenly or through an accident.

Reiki enhances a person’s awareness in such areas as sight, sound, smell, and taste. Because Reiki goes to the core and like a flashlight shines from the inside out, healing can continue for two or three days following a healing session. Breaks from chronic pain lasting two to three days following a session allow time to sit back, enjoy the relief, and collect your thoughts while feeling the healing taking place within you. I have had medical doctors tell me they never expected the healing to happen as well and as quickly as it did in several cases in which Reiki was added.

Reiki is often all the positive energy you need to once again feel OK with the world. How many times have you had an unsettling feeling in your stomach from the disagreement you had with your parent(s), brother(s), sister(s), friend(s), teacher(s), child(ren), spouse, landlord, or boss? Reiki can help a person to develop relationships that are more positive. Reiki allowed to flow into the work place can make workdays more enjoyable by helping to remove obstacles and developing relationships that are more productive. Mental clarity is one of the things experienced following a Reiki session. Even though a person most often finds him or her self more relaxed then they have been, following the session he or she is focused, full of energy and ready to take on life.

Reiki can help a new Mom get back to herself more quickly with a zest for life while experiencing a calming sensation. Receiving Reiki during pregnancy is what one might call a ‘two for one deal’ as if flows to both the mother and child(ren).

Most people have heard of Cranial Sacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release. Both of these treatments are done by licensed medical professionals. Reiki gently allowed to flow through the cranial cavity feels wonderful and mirrors the balance of these treatments without any of the risks such as those involving the parasympathetic nerves.

Reiki practitoners and teachers are wonderful listeners, but you do not have to explain why you are coming for a Reiki session. Injuries and illnesses can be a very personal thing and because the practitioner has learned to feel the inharmonic vibrations, her or his hands are naturally guided to areas that can use the most energy.

Today we hear about many different styles of Reiki. The spiritual practice of Reiki has been altered in how it is presented by many Reiki teachers since Mikao Usui’s passing in 1926. Each time a Reiki teacher alters the way in which he or she was taught the name is changed so as not to dishonor his or her teacher. Universal energy has been called sacred energy and spiritual energy. I refer to Reiki as described by my Japanese Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki teachers, the vibrations of love and harmony of universal energy. The terms used do not matter because the origins of the system Mikao Usui founded remain powerfully etched in time.

As you research various styles of Reiki, you will see the Reiki teacher’s path before that particular style was created, and gain a better understanding of the various styles. Universal energy can never be made better and therefore no style of Reiki is better than any style

A reiki healing session with nothing added to it feels great, and the only requirements from the client is to relax and enjoy. The unique form of energy flowing through a trained Reiki practitioner will never cause any harm or have any negative side effects.

If you are looking for a great way to transform the struggles of everyday life, one of the best ways is to engage in the Japanese practice of Reiki, and use the accompanying reiki symbols. If you are not familiar with Reiki, it is often used as a form of alternative medicine, and involves whole body and/or localized body treatment combined with meditation to heal both physical and spiritual ailments. These may be caused by environmental or emotional disturbances, or many other forms of distress.

reiki symbols are used to complement the practice of Reiki. These symbols are believed to help you achieve a higher state of awareness, thus opening your mind and enhancing the flow of what is known as Life Force Energy, which serves as a door opener to this desired raising of consciousness. One way the practitioners or Reiki use them is to show them to you before beginning the session in order to implant the image in the mind. Then, by meditating on the symbols, you will empower them to help achieve their intended purpose.

One of the reiki symbols revealed is called Cho Ku Rei, also known as the power symbol. Its use is believed to result in a significant increase in your energy level. Another common Reiki symbol is Sei He Ki, results in emotional healing, and is frequently used to help alleviate problems in your relationships. It also can aid memory, and is often used to clear a room of negative energy. Han Sha Ze Sho Nen is used when you want to transmit the energy of Reiki to virtually anyplace you want it to go. You can even use it to send Reiki energy into the future, where it can be “stored” for use by loved ones in their time of need.

Another of the reiki symbols revealed is Dai Ko Myo, otherwise known as the essence of the Light of the Buddha, and is implemented when you are looking to achieve the wisdom to help you find the answer to a difficult problem, and is also referred to as a traditional master symbol. The contemporary master symbol helps in the healing of the soul. When these symbols are used in conjunction with the practice of Reiki, you will transform your life, becoming happier, calmer, and wiser.
