Reiki for kids

When one thinks of holistic practises like yoga, Reiki and meditation; one generally associates adults with them. The truth is that holistic practices may start at an early age.

Reiki is an alternate form of healing that involves transferring positive energy or chi through one’s palms. Those who have faith in Reiki, think that a child can benefit from it when she/ he is in an embryonic state in her/ his mother’s womb. All a pregnant lady has to do is place a hand on her tummy to transfer the soothing Reiki energy to her unborn baby- it is believed by Reiki practitioners that this helps in giving birth to a calm baby.

According to Reiki master and counselling psychologist Aarti Gupta, a child can learn Reiki from when she/ he is four or five years old. She simplifies the concept of Reiki through fun and games for the kids. She explains about the seven chakras or energy vortexes in the human body by making the kids colour the chakras with crayon colours that match the vortexes. “I draw a parallel to the seven colours of the rainbow and the chakra colours. When I tell them to colour the throat chakra, I remind them of the blue sky. While colouring the crown chakra, I remind them of the colour of aubergine. I ask them to colour pebbles and put them on the appropriate chakra.”

Reiki master Avani Patel says, “A simple to-the-point syllabus needs to be formulated for kids. After the course is over, feedback has to be taken every month on how they are progressing.”

The benefits of learning Reiki are many. Aarti explains, “It helps a child to improve memory and concentration. It betters both physical and mental development. It makes kids courageous thereby reducing or eliminating nervousness.”

Avani adds, “Reiki helps kids in improving concentration in studies. It enables self-purification so that they grow with the correct values. They will develop a strong aura (emanation) wherein they can eliminate negativity and enhance positivity.”

Children being innocent and pure are very receptive towards Reiki. Initiating a child into this practice may be a delightful part of her/ his spiritual journey.

  Octopus 1.     You may often have heard someone proudly saying that he has blue blood running through his veins. 2.     This figuratively means that he is the descendant of a royal dynasty. 3.     Did you know that a creature living in the deep blue ocean really has blue-coloured blood? 4.     We are talking about the mollusc, the eight-legged octopus here. 5.     Octopuses are natural marine architects which build homes for themselves with rocks. 6.     With their powerful arms, they can easily shift rocks from one venue to another. 7.     Their rock den abodes have a stone door entrance which the octopus can lock after it safely enters its sweet home. 8.     Even after they are securely at home, they are better off without visitors. 9.     They disperse shells and rocks to carefully conceal themselves within their dens. 10.                        After catching prey which comprises worms, crustaceans, molluscs, prawns and fish they retire to their dens to savour

  Old English 1500 years ago, in the 5 th century CE, a Germanic tribe, the Angles, traversed the North Sea to invade Britain. The earliest of these attacks was in 449 CE. Later, the Saxons and Jutes did the same. These tribes lived in what we now know as northern Germany and Denmark. The Germanic dialects of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes were the languages that gave birth to a new language in Britain, the English language. This language is called Old English or Anglo-Saxon. The erstwhile home of the Angles was called ‘ Englaland’. Their language was known as ‘Englisc’. The words ‘England’ and ‘English’ were formed from these old words. These invading tribes fought with the Celtic inhabitants of the country. Most of them were slaughtered or enslaved. Some were fortunate to have fled to the safety of Wales, Ireland and Scotland. In 2021, a speaker of English may find it almost impossible to comprehend Old English. Around 50% of the predominantly used words in contemporary English posses

  Man consumes pesticide As I write this, a young man is fighting for his life. He is an alcoholic and is always in and out of jail. This morning he put pesticide in his spirit and drank it. His body is turning cold and he can hardly breathe. He is in a queue for admission to the hospital for the poor where detailed paperwork is going on as protocols dictate that a police case must be registered before further proceeding. These rules delay saving those who attempt suicide. We aren’t sure if this was accidental or deliberate mixing. The treatment of patients who try to take their lives is shocking in supposedly good private hospitals as well. In one of these places, the person who attempted it was slapped several times by the doctor and as he felt that an evil person like this deserves mistreatment, ward boys were ordered to strip her naked to change her into a gown as there was no nurse at the emergency room. In the case of domestic violence when a person tries to kill oneself, t
