Pain Reliever's Charity Blog

Reiki healing is a major and important form of energy healing practice, and we recently spoke to a major contributor to the field from the United States, Alice Langholt, Director of the Reiki Awakening Academy School of Intuitive Development, creator of Practical Reiki, and author of several books on Reiki healing and mindfulness. She discussed her efforts, and some of the great opportunities and challenges that Reiki healing may face while integrating with the medical community.

There are always a couple of pivotal moments that stick in your mind as the times you decided to change yourself and your life.

One of mine was the evening my parents were rushed in two ambulances to an Italian hospital and given oxygen therapy treatment because they had suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, I can still remember my dad stumbling into my bedroom talking incoherently and my mum trying to put on her dressing gown, but had lost all coordination. The doctors said they had a very lucky escape as the count in their blood-stream was so high if they had gone to sleep they would have died!

We’ve all heard how stress is bad for your health but some of us don’t even know we are stressed. How stressed you feel can be different to how much your body is able to deal with stress. We’ve created an efficient and technologically advanced society that is packed with plans, ideas, thoughts and experiences, so that resting with nothing to do or think about is almost awkward or feels unnatural.

Work, sports, hobbies, helping people, going out, family or friends? Whatever it is, there’s also a biochemical factor that helps to fuel your life? Whether mental of physical fuel it can start from food.

If we think about the complexities of the body and its interaction with all the different types of nutrients that exist, it becomes too complicated so let’s make it simple: Carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

With the rise of many diseases such as diabetes, cancer and autoimmune diseases, healthcare has reached saturation point where hospitals and those in the medical field are no longer able to cope with the workload ⁽¹⁾.  GP clinics are filled with leaflets and videos encouraging us to take some responsibility for our health to prevent disease and the media is constantly giving news on health but with so much information, it can be difficult to know how to start.  By understanding how our body works, we can have a better idea what we can do.  Here we share some ideas to help you start your journey to empower your health. This is the first of three short articles on diet, lifestyle and health

As a healer, we can often focus our energies on improving the balance of those around us and invest much of ourselves in the energies of others. When we do this, we can neglect or deplete our own needs - but taking care of ourselves is truly how we can help other people the best. I find that when I am unbalanced myself, I cannot practice healing as effectively as I can when I am ensuring that each part of me is healthy and well.

Relief from Pain will be attending Women Work 2018. This amazing event will take place on Friday April 20^th, 2018 in Salomons Estate, Tunbridge Wells, TN3 0TG.

"Las Vegas," which is Spanish for "Open Planes," is tucked away in Nevada’s Mojave Desert and surrounded by several mountain ranges. The shivering aridity in the air is painfully beautiful against the blue sky. Las Vegas is also a resort city famed for its vibrant nightlife, centred around 24-hour casinos, bars, themed hotels and other non-stop entertainment options, which can overload your senses. I realised then, why there was so much opposition for holding the  HIMSS18  (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Conference 2018) conference there in Las Vegas.

From 5^th to 9^th March Relief from Pain will be attending the HIMSS18  “Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Conference 2018” in Las Vegas which brings together over 45,000 professionals for “education, innovation and collaboration to help uncover the promise of health information and technology".

Why is Relief from Pain charity attending such a leading event where healthcare meets technology?
