Chronic Disease Most Preventable
According to the Institute of Medicine, Regarding the Treatment of Chronic Conditions,
“Behavioral and Social Interventions.…
Offer great promise to reduce disease morbidity and yet their potential to improve the public’s health has been Poorly Tapped.”
A large body of evidence suggests that cruciferous vegetables contain phyto-chemicals that may help reduce cancer risk.
Dithiolthiones and isothiocyanates (broccoli) seem to increase the activity of enzymes involved in detoxifying carcinogens.
Indoles appear to alter the metabolism of hormones in ways that may help prevent or reduce the growth of hormone sensitive tumors. www.healthyeating.ucsd.edu

The Doctor of the Future will give no medicine, but interest his (her) patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

Reiki means Universal Life ForceUniversal (Rei)Life Force (Ki)Reiki is a high vibrational, spiritually guided

History of Reiki
All ancient cultures have a tradition of healing based on laying of the hands
Oldest written accounts are traced to the Tibetan Lotus Sutras recorded 2,500 years ago by the Tibetan Monks
The hands on healing system known as “Reiki” was originally documented in Sanskrit
Jesus was most likely aware of the healing power of touch partly because of His Eastern influence
Reiki
A Reiki treatment is a powerful but gentle means of providing access to the unlimited light-filled energy inside of us and in our universe
It is a special way of directing high vibrational energy to restore balance, harmony, and healing into our lives, the lives of others, and our planet
Reiki is a special kind of life force energy that can be channeled by someone that has been attuned to it by a “Reiki Master”

Ideals of Reiki
Not a religionSpiritual in Nature
No dogma or beliefs to learn or use ReikiReiki practitioners are encouraged to mediate on the Five Universal Ideals or
Principles
I - Just for today, I will not be angry.
Anger at others or oneself or at the whole world, creates serious blockages in one's energy It is the most
complex inner enemy Reiki is an excellent tool to remove anger blockages which have accumulated in the body over years, but it cannot
remove the residue of current anger which occurs daily
Letting go of anger brings Piece into the Mind
II - Just for today, I will not worry.
While anger deals with past and present events, worry deals with future ones
Although worry is not always a negative phenomena, endless worries may fill one's head,
and each one bores a small hole in one's body and soul
While anger requires a focused Reiki treatment to remove obstacles, worry requires the energy to
be spread throughout the entire body Letting go of worry, brings healing into the body
III - Just for today, I will be grateful.
Be grateful from your heart inward. Inner intention is the
important element in this principle. Simple things as
thanks, forgiveness, smile, good
words, gratitude can improve others life and
make them happy. Being thankful brings Joy into the Spirit.
IV - Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Support yourself and your family respectably, without
harming others. Earn a respectable living,
live a life of honor Working Honestly brings
Abundance into the Soul
V- Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
Honor your parents, honor your teachers, honor your
elders Being Kind brings
Love into the Will
The Characteristics of a Spiritual Being
Being here and now,
Connecting to Mother Earth.
Transcending or going beyond here & now
Connecting to our Higher Power.
Belonging
Nurturing and Loving Life
Being Free to be the “I Am” in Myself.
Healing
Healing is a process and not an event.Healing is possible.Dr. Robin Shapiro
