Kinda experiment

I've got a bad cold or else the flu coming on. i'm starting to feel like crap. Got sweats, headaches, sore throat/swollen glands, feel nauseous, begining to feel weak and tingly all over.

I'm gonna experiment on myself, hehe. Gonna just use Reiki, sanskrit mantras & Kuji-in. No medications, or vitamins, only other thing is water. If i feel it's not getting better today, i'll do some Kundalini yoga.


started with a few mins of Hatsurei ho. Then on to 20 mins of Kuji-in. I've took a brief break to write this.

Now i'm gonna do some recitation of two very specific mantras. They're both of the 5 elements. The first is 'Fire' which is Om Tejasdhatu Agnaya. This is to purify me inside. The second will for water, it's sanskrit is Om Apsadhatu Taraya, it's to flush all teh debris out. I'm gonna recite each for 10 mins each, to begin with.

Ater another break i'll do my usual current practice of charging my mala with 'Earth' mantra, Om prithividhatu Bhumideviya. This lasts for about 30 mins. Might do a full Reiki treatment straight after, or else another brief break.

I guess i'm kinda curious as to how effective these things can all be, in this situation. I know from the practice i've just completed, i felt so poorly i couldnt' go to the gym today. and although i'm prob still not gonna go, i actually could go ok now. There's a kinda feeling similar to adrenaline running through me atm. Which is intertesting. Hopefully this will be a full blown flu or something, then agian, if all this works i'll never know,

take care

Edit: It's been a few hours now. I feel virtually back to normal, my sweats have gone, as has headaches, nausea. My glands are nearly back to normal, and swallowing is ok. Still feel slightly weak, and a very small sensation of tingling. Overall though, i feel pretty good. Just shows, possibly if its tackled in time, it could be sorted

Well done, Wayne!

What did we do in the days before Beecham's Powders, Anadin and Lem-Sip? Probably just let our body get on with healing itself and maybe giving it a helping hand (in a similar way to what you have done), rather than stifling the symptoms and holding back the healing process!

So Colin have you discovered that the symptons
alert us to be on guard & when we medicate we
stifle and slow down the healing process.

Good experiment Wayne. it does take
time,energy & trust in your self.

Yes, Bridget - and it is one of the teachings of Jikiden Reiki too!
When symptoms appear it is usually evidence that the body has already started the healing process and is trying to restore balance.

i've noticed atm, that i've begun to have a slight cough, and a slight throbbing in the head. So it hasn't dealt with it all completely as of yet. Then again, i got side-tracked today, and havn't done absolutely everything i initially posted bout. I just felt so good really, after the hatsurei, Kuji-in & mantras.

I can see what you're both saying with regard stifling symtpoms. I'm listening to my body today, and i'm not doing any specific technique in general to alleviate any symptom, but doing general things perhaps this has gave me the overall benefit. It's certainly greatly the symtpoms. I'll keep at things during the night, and tomorrow, it'll be interesting to see the time span of it all.

My missus & kids also have a cold/cough now, they're more worried bout missing there booking for avatar 3d on thursday though!

Wayne, you have to also realize that
your immune system needs have to be
taken care of so the body has the
nourishment it needs to strengthen
the healthy cells to fight off the
sluggish ones best word I can find
at this time.

A car needs the oil changed every once
in a while. Sometimes the engine over
heats so you slow down pull off the road
and let it recover. Sometimes that's what's
needed some rest lots of water and a funny
movie helps. Maybe I'll post some fun stuff
see if that helps.

Sound advice bridget. i've spent a fair bit of today watching films, with my son. gonna check out the 'just for laughs' section, as i'm about to go to bed. Many thanks!

a belated one Wayne, but i feel the need to say something...

have you tried to find the causes of your flu, sneazing, phlagm in your stomach instead of always locating them in your larynx ?


i had similar things for my whole life before, and when i studied myself deeply i found that all the reason for these ailments was mostly due to acidity or other imbalance in my stomach!


a second common observation is that when we live in 'weather controlled' conditions for most of our daily 24 hours, for example, when we try to chill in AC in summer for all the time, and try to use too much heaters in winter, some balance sure gets disturbed!


get exposed to weather and see if that helps ? !

(with a precuation that no need to go outdoor for this 'exposure' when temp is down by 30 degree minus!!

Good advice buddy! Yeah i follow causes of illness in mysefl via byosen, .

like you mentioned if it's cold weather, best not to go out much. Particularly with chest infections, the cold air can bring on bronchitis. It was a real issue for me, since my restricted airways impacted on my cardiovascular, and it hampered self-defence lessons slightly.

I still havn't went to the doctor, but it's mostly gone now, as we've just come out of minus 15 celsius here, it's still around zero to maybe 6 celsius, so i've largely stayed in the heat, which does seem to have worked. Add into the equation i do tend toward asthma type allergic reactions to Dogs (I have a dog), it was an interesting time, but was very easily manageble.

I rarely get ill, i guess it's cause i do a myraid of spiritual practices, and absolutely everything i do every day i really enjoy, so i'm blessed that way!

Staying away from Dr's can be
good for your health. If
you believe that your body has
innate healing

that's actually very funny, hehe, .

what the doc woudda gave me was anti-biotics. I'd prefer to build up a tolerance to them when i had gangrene or TB or sumthin, hehe, and not a bad cold or chest infection.
