This is a great article on diaphragmatic breathing which is “the basis for almost all meditation or relaxation techniques, which can lower your stress levels, reduce your blood pressure, and regulate other critical bodily processes.”
This article also includes the 4-7-8 breathing technique developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, which is an excellent and effective method I have used for years to beat insomnia.

Something magical happens when a child gets on the reiki table. Because their minds and hearts are more easily open to the idea of the universal love that flows within, they can see and feel the light energy of the chakras. One little girl was even able to see her tumor shrinking away. She also reported seeing Angels and countless rainbows. It is a beautiful thing to witness and take part in.

Our posts about reiki healing often make mention of the chakras.
What exactly are the chakras and what is their function? Below you’ll find a brief explanation of the chakra system and what each one represents, as taken from the book “Citta Nadi: River of Consciousness” written by Mary Lorello Gonzalez. Included in the book is a beautiful guided meditation to open and align the chakras. Practicing this will help you feel balanced and healthy.

Looking forward to getting started!

Do you suffer from vocal abuse?
Many do and don’t realize it.
Our combination of speech therapy, meditation and reiki is a winning treatment for this disorder.
If you’re a teacher, singer, smoker, or someone who often speaks loudly, over time this can cause polyps or nodules on the vocal cords making your voice sound scratchy or hoarse.
There could be an underlying medical condition as well such as allergies or thyroid disease.
Depending on the cause and severity, polyps or nodules can be treated with medical interventions. Speech therapy along with meditation/relaxation, and reiki to heal and balance the throat chakra, can help treat the symptoms.
We also provide counseling and education about how to be kind to your voice, with proper breath support and vocal maintenance.

Call 631-974-4909 or visit www.harmonyawakenings.com if you think you might have symptoms of vocal polyps or nodules or if you want to prevent them.

Here are 3 breathing exercises that will help stutterers to slow down, relax their speech muscles, and practice an easy onset approach with slow, steady breath.
1. Pretend it is your birthday you are blowing out candles. Take a deep breath and steadily blow them out.
2. Open a jar of bubbles and try to blow the biggest bubble. Use a slow steady breath.
3. Pretend you are blowing up a balloon. Take a deep breath and let the air out slowly as you inflate the balloon.

What gets my students ready for a speech session?
Pause
Listen
Breathe
We pause, listen to the chime, and then take five deep breaths.
That’s all it takes to get their mind and body ready to learn.
