P The new millennium is poised for grater health challenges. The present popular health care system has miserably failed to deal effectively with human health, e ndangered by ever increasing health disaster in form of heart diseases, cancer, AIDS, various form of hepatitis, mental disorders, stress generated disorders etc. Like physicists physicists in study of matter, matter, modern medical scientists have tried to understand the human body by reducing it to basic building blocks and fundamental functions. A renowned doctor says, “The “ The reduction of life in its complicated forms of certain fundamentals that can then be resynthesized resynthesized for a better understanding understanding of man and his ills is the basic concern of bio medical research. In this reductionist spirit, all too frequently the original phenomenon itself is lost on the way. “In addition the high risks of modern medical technology have led to a further significant increase in health costs through excessive use of high technology and medicines within the mechanistic model of illness. The frightening health scenario of the coming millennium put forth the necessity to think and look for some “ALTERNATE”.
"IS THERE THE RE ANY ALTERNATE ALTERNATE AVAILABLE?" AVAILABLE?"
P The Holistic healing system, system, popularly known as “ALTERNATE MEDICINE”, which consciously activate and manipulates the inner talent, ability and aspects of human body and mind for effectively dealing with diseases provides us an answer. There are about 150 alternate therapies in this world which uses natural form and technique to heal a human body. body. Some therapies are used to heal a person physically while some are used to cure a person physically and mentally both. Out of them my focus is on Reiki, Pranic Healing and Sujok Therapy. These therapies act as an alternative as well as a complementary to the Western medicine or conventional therapies. Reiki is a Japanese therapy, therapy, whereas, Sujok and Pranic Healing originate from Chinese tradition (1980’s). All these three methods have been a part of Indian literature; mentioned in Atharvaveda, Rugveda, Patangjali Sutra, Jain Mimansha, Mimansha, Bible, etc… Despite bearing the brunt of years of mockery from mainstream medicine, alternative remedies continue to gain in popularity among the people whole over the world who actually want to cure their ills and improve their health. Complementary and Alternative Healing includes a large number of practices and systems of health care that, for a variety of cultural, social, economic, or scientific reasons, have not been adopted by mainstream Western medicine.

D I look forward to built a Holistic Healing and Learning Center, Center, a wellness hub consisting of alternate therapies and techniques. A medical care system that views physical, mental, emotional as well as spiritual aspects of life as closely interconnected and equally important approaches to treatment. Briefly, Briefly, the goal is a wellness center that encompasses the entire person, rather than just the lack of physical pain or disease; also a learning / education institute to teach the alternate therapies or techniques for holistic healing of both the soul and body; and providing attunement to those students / participants. This form of alternate treatment is now gathering popularity as people choose to bond with the dynamics of nature. In short, my basic focus is on the question – question – How How architecture can be therapeutic and how can we design spaces which have a ‘healing’ and ‘therapeutic’ quality to them t hem taking inspiration from nature and considering elements like water-bodies, landscaping, sun-light, sun-light, natural contextual elements etc…?
To build a center consisting of research, treatment / healing and education / training. Spreading awareness among people regarding each of the applied alternate therapy and the miraculous results by combining all the three therapies and providing treatments. Promoting and making aware of these healing techniques specially among youngsters and students, as it covers the physical, mental and spiritual levels, resulting in building up concentration, instinct of knowing, creativity, presence of mind, grasping power; also skeletal and muscular development, vitality and growth.

I Complementary medicine is a group of diagnostic and therapeutic disciplines that are used together with conventional medicine. Alternative Alternative medicine practices are used instead of standard medical treatments. Alternative medicine is distinct from complementary medicine which is meant to accompany, accompany, not to replace, standard medical practices. Alternative medical practices are generally not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches. Alternative medicine includes dietary supplements, megadose vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, massage therapy, therapy, magnet therapy, therapy, and spiritual healing. Some of the Alternative and Complementary Healing methods / techniques are as follows: Acupuncture and Acupressure Alexander technique Aromatherapy Ayurveda (Ayurvedic medicine) Biofeedback Chiropractic medicine Diet therapy Herbalism Qi gong (internal and external Qiging) Reflexology Reiki Sujok Therapy (Advanced Acupuncture)
Holistic nursing Homeopathy Hypnosis Massage therapy Meditation Naturopathy Nutritional therapy Osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) Pranic healing Tai Chi Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Yoga
I Complementary And Alternative Therapies and Medicines fall into five major categories, or domains: 1.Alternative Medical System Systemss Alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. Often, these systems have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States. Examples of alternative medical systems that have developed in Western cultures include homeopathic medicine and naturopathic medicine. Examples of systems that have developed in non-Western cultures include traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
2.Mind-Body Interventions Mind-body medicine uses a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms. Some techniques that were considered CAM in the past have become mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy). therapy). Other mind-body techniques are still considered CAM, including meditation, prayer, prayer, mental healing, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.
3.Biologically Based Therapies Biologically based therapies in CAM use substances found in nature, such as herbs, foods, and vitamins. Some examples include dietary supplements,3 herbal products, and the use of other so called natural but as yet scientifically unproven therapies (for example, using shark cartilage to treat cancer).
4.Manipulative and Body-Based Methods Manipulative and body-based methods in CAM are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or more parts of the body. Some examples include chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, and massage.
I 5.Energy Therapies Energy therapies involve the use of energy fields. They are of two types: •Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround and penetrate the human body. The existence of such fields has not yet been scientifically proven. Some forms of energy therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating manipulating the body by placing the hands in, or through, these fields. Examples include qi gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch. •Bioelectromagnetic-based unconventional tional use of e lectromagnetic fields, such as pulsed fields, Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies involve the unconven magnetic fields, or alternating-current or direct-current fields.

The Touch Of Reiki “Dissipates Anger Soothes Away Worries Evokes A Heart-felt Sense Of Gratitude Inspires Us to be & Do Our Very Best Engenders a State of Loving-Kindness…” LovingKindness…” - Dr. Mikao Usui
R Reiki (pronounced 'ray-kee') 'ray-kee') is commonly perceived to be (only) a form of spiritual healing. However Reiki is more than this: Reiki is now also increasingly regarded as a belief and behavior approach towards personal fulfillment, whose principles and philosophy can explain and achieve better life-balance and well-being; enable the furthering of selfdevelopment and discovery, discovery, as well as being a remarkable healing and recovery treatment . Based on very ancient Eastern teachings, Reiki methodology and history has given rise to confusion, speculation and mystery, mystery, although in recent years, happily, the consistency and detail of information about Reiki has progressively improved, to the point today where Reiki is an accepted form of 'alternative therapy', available and practiced widely, widely, including its recommendation and provision by many 'mainstream' hospitals and clinics across the western world. Reiki is an Energy Healing i.e. healing without any material or substance. Rei – Rei – Invisible Invisible or Universal Source of all Being, Ki – Life – Life Force Energy, Subatomic energy, Cosmic energy that stimulates body to heal. In short, Reiki is - An Effective System For Healing And Stimulating Mental, Emotional And Spiritual Growth Offering Relief From Stress, Unhappiness, Depression And Disease. The Reiki concept and its underpinning philosophy therefore therefore provide an excellent perspective for improving appreciation of the mind-body link, and the principles of life-balance and well-being .
R As young children we do not question that the world we perceive through our senses is the whole thing. Later we learn that our senses are actually inadequate to know the world. In terms of total perception you actually get a lot more than you can just see, hear, hear, taste or touch! A look down a microscope will soon convince you that normal eyesight fails to detect all manner of things. Until the invention of SONAR (sound navigation and ranging technology), we had no idea how bats could 'see' in the dark. How homing pigeons or migrating birds operate is still something of a mystery. mystery. It is clear that just about every animal has a superior olfactory sense (of smell) compared with humans; and who knows how keenly other animals taste things? Other natural phenomena we have come to have some understanding of include: gravity, gravity, magnetism, plate tectonics and quantum physics, not to mention huge advances in physical brain function and psychology. psychology. So, to return to our 'inadequate' senses: although our world appears to be motionless and solid, we now understand that in fact everything is moving, and at a sub-atomic level, everything is far from solid . In fact everything has great gaps in-between the particles. The nucleus of an atom is the only truly dense part of it - incredibly the size of the nucleus in relation to the size of the atom is like a pea in a concert hall. Electrical charge is actually responsible for solidity, solidity, not density or solidity of atoms, which are mostly e mpty space. And everything vibrates at its own frequency. frequency. Through the dedicated work of scientists in many disciplines we have come to a scientific confirmation of what psychically sensitive people have long-time held: There is more going on in the universe than our limited senses can perceive, although some people seem pre-disposed to tune into and in some way, way, comprehend this energy. Perhaps Perhaps it is due to this scientific rigor that complementary forms of healing and alternative ways of understanding understanding our world, are increasingly being given recognition as being worthy of serious attention. Reiki is now part of a worldwide movement of people who are properly concerned about their welfare and their loved ones - and indeed the planet. People are seeking to take responsibility for their own health, working with
R might seem diminishing at first, but in fact it is empowering because understanding the rules of the game (how the system works) enables one to use it to personal advantage and to help others. It behoves us to educate ourselves; challenge the 'received wisdom' (with generosity of spirit); explore new ideas; accept the consequences of our adventures; and treat every experience as potentially something from which we can grow. Related to this it is helpful to consider a Japanese concept known as ‘T ‘ Tatemae' which (although on a literal level is a ceremony for putting the framework in a Japanese house) also, and more pertinently, pertinently, represents the maintenance of a harmoniously balanced society. This philosophy of 'promoting good for all' is found in other cultures and beliefs too, and as a positive, giving, all-embracing approach serves both as an important driver, driver, and context, for Reiki's values and aims.
Based on the ancient Buddhist Technique Technique of healing, it is invented by Dr. Mikao Usui , a Japanese Scholar and a Buddhist B uddhist monk, after 21 days of fasting and meditating on a hilltop. He spread Reiki across Japan in 1900’s. The Reiki knowledge was passed on by Dr. Dr. Usui (first Grandmaster) through attunement to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi and then to an Hawaiin lady, Hawayo Takata by Dr. Dr. Hayashi.

Rei, which is more deeply interpreted in Reiki context, its meaning is 'supernatural knowledge' or 'spiritual consciousness' . This in turn represents the wisdom that comes from (one or other) God or the 'higher self'; an 'all knowing' consciousness that understands understands each person completely. completely. This deeper meaning underpins, and hopefully makes it easier to appreciate, the central principle of Reiki healing, whereby the 'universal energy' naturally knows and focuses on the ailments or imbalances existing for anyone. The word Ki equates to 'life force' in the same way as the word Chi in Chinese (Chi forms a central aspect of Acupuncture, which uses needles to unblock and free the flow of Chi), and other similar sounding words in Sanskrit and Hawaiian, for example, Ti. According to Reiki theory, and others besides, Ki is the life force present in all living things. When blocked, health and well-being
R Reiki signifies the energy that vitalize and unify everything, and connects the person with the universe and its forces. Whether or not you believe in a personal God or hold to a particular religious doctrine is immaterial to Reiki's effect. - Sensation In The Hands - Switches On Automatically - Flows According To Demand - Reiki Same In Both The Hands - Reiki Does Not Run Out - Reiki Flow Does Not Affected By The Health Of Practitioner - Works On Animals And Plants - One Can Treat Oneself With Reiki - Anybody Can Be Initiated To Reiki - Reiki Not A Belief, System, Religion Or Cult - No Harmful Side Effect Effect - A Complimentary To All Other Systems - Always Treats At The Root Cause Level - No Need For Diagnosis - Reduces Stress Intensely

R The idea that all life is somehow simply various manifestations of a great life force can be found in religious and philosophical texts from all ages and cultures. Psychologist Carl Yung wrote of a 'collective unconscious' as did Bor is Pasternak (famous Russian author of Dr. Dr. Zhivago), and this tract from a Buddhist text is another example: Feathered birds and fishes finned, And clouds and rain and calm and wind And sun and moon and stars stars declare, All life is one life everywhere.
It is no longer controversial when scientists from various disciplines claim that every thing vibrates and despite appearances to the contrary, is interconnected interconnected by some as yet incomprehensible force and so, to some degree, everything has an effect on everything else. Since this 'everything' must include thoughts, and thoughts are an emerging quality of the brain, and the brain is part of the body/person - (can you see where this is leading!) - it stands to reason that modern medicine too, is looking again at complementary therapies and spiritual/natural healing to see how it reconciles with this new understanding. understanding. That 'the mind affects the body and the body affects the mind' has long been accepted in the world of alternative/complementary alternative/complementary therapy. therapy. It seems that this ancient concept is being confirmed by today's science. And this is where Reiki comes in. Reiki simply taps into this infinite energy for the mental and physical well-being of both the practitioner and recipient. The Reiki practitioner is merely a conduit through whom the energy flows into the recipient, and the practitioner has the happy advantage of benefiting from the session too.
R Various Eastern Eastern concepts, philosophies and theories refer to the 'chakras', for example Reiki and Yoga. Yoga. So do modern-day European concepts of Spiritual Healing. The chakra system also now appears commonly in many 'new age' writings and references. The word chakra was originally cakra, meaning wheel, also sun, dating back to between 600-2,000 B C from ancient Indian culture. References to chakras being bodily centres of feeling or consciousness appeared in ancient Indian writings about Yoga Yoga as early as 200 BC. Typically Typically seven chakras are referenced, and these are certainly the main ones on which theories focus, although various systems and doctrines consider that other chakras exist. These days there is much interest in the seven chakras in the way that they relate to modern life and well-being, and this is not surprising since it is clear now that the ancient chakra system corresponds directly with the major human nerve ganglia which stem from the spinal column. The position of the chakras also relate to the endocrine glands which secrete directly into the bloodstream. The seven chakras are generally thought of as being centres of energy within the human body, body, aligned with the spine, which correspond to our feelings, and emotional and behavioral characteristics. Each chakra is also commonly associated with an organ and bodily function, and is usually represented by a colour, colour, and a 1-7 numbering system. Other sensual aspects are associated with the chakras depending on the interpretation and doctrine, for instance shapes and sounds, and human development from conception to maturity. A person's body, mind and spiritual well-being are balanced and healthy when all of their chakras are 'clear'. When chakras are 'blocked', ' blocked', the related functions and feelings will be adversely affected; also the balance of the person is upset because other chakras are forced to compensate.
R
Top The seven chakras (numbered according to the chakra system) are located at the following points of the body, body, along the line of the spine:
Base Of The Spine Lower Abdomen/Lower Abdomen/Lower Back (Below Navel) Solar Plexus (Between The Navel And Base Of Sternum, Which Is The Central Vertical Bone In The Rib-cage) Heart (Centre Of Chest) Throat (Base Of Neck) Brow (Lower Forehead, Between Eyes) Crown (Top (Top Of The Head)
Bottom
The lower chakras govern our more basic instincts related to survival and physical self . The higher chakras govern our mental characteristics and feelings related to thought and consciousness . Logically the central chakra - the heart - arguably bridges the t he two, being strongly linked both to physical and emotional feelings. When all chakras are open and balanced, the mind, body and spiritual self, are healthy. healthy. Reiki is one of several techniques and methodologies which can 'open' or 'free' chakras that are blocked (which causes other chakras to become over-active), and thereby to restore a person's natural balance.
R The seven chakras are written wr itten about often, and representations of the chakra system can vary slightly, slightly, although the essential principles and definitions are generally consistent. The chakras are often shown in reverse order (7-1) compared to the grid below, below, and the names given to each chakra can vary slightly too, so alternatives are shown here where applicable. When the chakra is open and free it enables feelings and behaviors according to and relating to those listed. When a chakra is blocked or closed these feelings and behaviors are suppressed, resulting in negative feelings stemming from the respective emotion or instinct. The colours interestingly correspond to the colours of the rainbow. rainbow.
R Reiki can be given as a 'hands on' treatment or at distance (any distance). By 'hands-on' we can mean literally that the hands of the 'channeller' actually touch the (clothed) recipient or that they hover over the recipient. Also, and fascinatingly: anything can have Reiki channeled into it: animal, vegetable or mineral.
'Hands On' Reiki A Reiki treatment is given fully clothed. The Reiki recipients' privacy, privacy, modesty and dignity are always respected. For enhanced relaxation, the recipient is usually lying down, but could be sitting or even standing. There are seven classic positions where generally the practitioner will place his/her hands on or over the recipient. These positions equate to the seven main 'chakra' areas of the body, body, which feature in various Eastern mind-and-body and spiritual concepts. However, However, since a basic tenet of Reiki is that the Reiki (healing energy) will flow where the Reiki 'needs to go', strict adherence to the chakra positions is not vital. Chakras are certainly an aspect of Reiki treatment, but not an absolute rule. Feelings experienced by the recipient during Reiki treatment vary between individuals, and also from session to session. Treatments are typically very relaxing, and recipients often fall into a lovely drifting state, or actually fall asleep. These states may be accompanied by dreams, floating sensations, warmth, tingling or a general sense of security and peace. Sometimes, if the healing is on a mental level, the recipient may shed a few tears as the emotional pain is released. This will be followed by calmness and later by a sense of increased energy as the body is freed from the weight of the stored distress.
R Sometimes the benefit from a Reiki treatment is obvious and at others little seems to be happening. Trust Trust and patience are needed. Healing may not always manifest in the way the recipient wanted or expected. For example a 'patient' presenting with an ear problem may simply leave the Reiki session with some vague idea about listening to someone's complaints more sympathetically. sympathetically.
The position on the body of an ailment or complaint can be a good clue as to its underlying mental and/or emotional cause. Addressing the cause is where healing begins.
Reiki 'Distance Healing‘ Reiki distance healing can be per formed at any distance from the recipient. A mutually convenient time is normally arranged, although a Reiki Master can send healing to anyone at any time, which is a fascinating and intriguing aspect of the concept.

“Miracles are fantastic events which utilize hidden Laws of Nature. Most of the people are unaware of these Laws. Miracles do not break the laws of nature, they are actually based on them.“ “Pranic Healing uses Laws of Nature which people do not know or are not aware of.” “A great example of the union between Science and Spirituality is Pranic Healing and is inevitable and will become stronger in the future.”
Master Choa-Kok-Sui
P body. Man`s whole physical Pranic Healing is based on the overall structure of the human body. body is actually composed of two parts: the visible physical body, body, and the invisible energy body called the bioplasmic body. The visible physical body is that part of the human body that we see, touch, and are most acquainted with. The bioplasmic body is that invisible luminous energy body which interpenetrates the visible physical body and extends beyond it by four or five inches. Traditionally Traditionally,, clairvoyants call this energy body the etheric body or etheric double.
Pranic healing is an ancient science and art of healing, invented by Master Choa-Kok-Sui in 1980’s. This technique utilizes prana or ki or life energy to heal the whole physical body. body. It also involves the manipulation of ki and bioplasmic matter of the patient`s body. It has also been called medical qigong (ki kung or ki healing), psychic healing, vitalic healing, therapeutic touch, laying of the hand, magnetic healing, faith healing, and charismatic healing.
Prana or ki is that life energy which keeps the body alive and healthy. In Greek it is called `pneuma`, in Polynesian `mana`, and in Hebrew `ruah`, which means `breath of life`. The healer projects prana or life energy or `the breath of life` to the patient, thereby, healing the patient. It is through this process that this so-called `miraculous healing` is accomplished. Basically, Basically, there are three major sources of prana: solar prana, air prana and ground prana. Solar prana is prana from sunlight. It invigorates the whole body and promotes good health. It can be obtained by sunbathing or exposure to sunlight for about five to ten minutes and by drinking water that has been exposed to sunlight. Prolonged exposure or too much solar prana would harm the whole physical body since it is quite potent. Prana contained in the air is called air prana or air vitality globule. Air prana is absorbed by the lungs through breathing and is also absorbed directly by the energy centers of the bioplasmic body. These energy centers are called
P Prana contained in the ground is called ground prana or ground vitality globule. This is absorbed through the soles of the feet. This is done automatically and unconsciously. unconsciously. Walking barefoot increases the amount of ground prana absorbed by the body. One can learn to consciously draw in more ground prana to increase one`s vitality, capacity to do more work, and ability to think more clearly. Water absorbs prana from sunlight, air, air, and ground that it comes in contact with. Plants and trees absorb prana from sunlight, air, water, and ground. Men and animals obtain prana from sunlight, air, ground, water, and food. Fresh food contains more prana than preserved food. Prana can also be projected to another person for healing. Persons with a lot of excess prana tend to make other people around them feel better and livelier. However, However, those who w ho are depleted tend to unconsciously absorb prana from other people. You may have have encountered persons who tend to make you feel t ired or drained for no apparent reason at all. Certain trees, such alpine trees or old and gigantic healthy trees, exude a lot of excess prana. Tired or sick people benefit much by lying down or resting underneath these trees. Better results can be obtained by verbally requesting the being of the tree to help the s ick person get well. Anyone can also learn to consciously absorb prana from these trees through the palms, such that the body would tingle and become numb because of the tremendous amount of prana absorbed. This skill can be acquired after only a few sessions of practice. Certain areas or places tend to have more prana than others. Some of these highly energized areas tend to become healing centers. During bad weather conditions, many people get sick not only because of the changes in temperature but also because of the decrease in solar and air prana (life energy). Thus, a lot of people feel mentally and physically sluggish or become susceptible to infectious diseases. This can be counteracted by consciously absorbing prana or ki from the air and the ground. It has been clairvoyantly observed that there is more prana during daytime than at night. Prana reaches a very
P Pranic healing is based on two laws: The law of self-recovery and the law of prana or life energy. These laws are quite obvious but strangely they are usually the least noticed or least remembered by most people. It is through these basic laws that rapid or miraculous healing occurs.
1. Law of Self-Recovery: Self-Recovery: In general, the body is capable of healing itself at a certain rate. If a person has a wound or burn, the body will heal itself and recover within a few days to a week. In other words, even if you do not apply antibiotic on the wound or burn, the body will repair or heal itself. At the present moment, there is no medicine available for the treatment of viral infection. But even if a person has cough or cold due to viral infection, the body will recover generally in one or two weeks without medication. 2. Law of Life Energy: For life to exist, the body must have prana, chi or life energy. The healing process can be accelerated by increasing life energy on the affected part(s) and on the entire body. body. In chemistry, electrical energy is sometimes used as a catalyst to increase the t he rate of chemical reaction. Light can affect chemical reaction. This is the basis for photography photography.

Air prana, solar prana and ground prana are made of white or general prana. Air and ground pranas are called vitality globules in esoteric parlance because when seen clairvoyantly or by a person with slightly more sensitive eyes, they appear as small spheres or globules of light. Vitality globules come in different sizes. Some contain more units of white prana and some contain less. Ground vitality globules interpenetrate the ground and extend several inches away from it. They are denser or more closely-packed and usually bigger than air vitality globules. Some of the bigger air vitality globules can be easily seen just by staring at the sky for a few minutes, especially just before sunset.

P
Connection Of Chakra With Gland Colour Pranas Vitality globules (conglomerations of units of white prana) are absorbed by the chakras where they are digested and broken down to their components. When white prana is digested, it produces six types of color pranas that correspond to the colors of the rainbow. A substantial amount of air prana is absorbed directly by the spleen chakra (front and back). The air prana is broken down to different different color pranas and distributed to the other chakras. Ground prana is absorbed through the sole chakras. A portion of the ground prana is directed upward to the spine and other chakras, while a large portion is directed to the perineum minor chakra, to the navel chakra, then to the spleen chakra, where it is broken down and distributed to the other chakras. All these take place automatically or at a subconscious level. White prana is composed of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet pranas. Of the six color pranas, red, blue, and green pranas are most frequently used in healing. The properties of each of the six color pranas and their applications are listed on the right side of the page.

Just like the visible physical body, body, it has a head, two eyes, two arms, etc. In other words, the bioplasmic body looks like the visible physical body. body. This is why clairvoyants call it the etheric double or etheric body. The word `bioplasmic` comes from `bio`, which means life and plasma, which is the fourth state of matter, matter, the first three being: solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is ionized gas or gas with positive and negative charged particles. This is not the same as blood plasma. Bioplasmic body means a living energy body made up of invisible subtle matter or etheric matter. matter.

D REIKI is a very good healing modality that has helped many people. It was originated by Dr. Dr. Usui and popularized by thousands of REIKI Masters. PRANIC HEALING was originated by GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui of the Philippines and is taught by certified PRANIC HEALING Instructors in over 81 countries. According to the REIKI Masters who have attended PRANIC HEALING classes, as well as my own observations as a teacher and healer, here are some of the major differences between PRANIC HEALING and REIKI: 1. PRANIC HEALING is a non-touch system of healing. healing. REIKI practitioners touch the body most of the time, but they also employ some non-touch techniques. 2. PRANIC HEALING teaches its students to “scan,” “scan,” or actually feel the aura, to assess areas of energetic depletion and congestion or stagnation, which helps identify problem areas that need healing. REIKI usually doesn’t use any energyenergyassessment technique but relies on the intuition of the practitioner. practitioner. 3. PRANIC HEALING employs a manual cleansing technique called “sweeping” to remove blockages and stagnant energies before giving fresh energy to the patient; REIKI has no comparable technique. technique. PRANIC HEALING believes cleansing is critical to the healing process because diseased energies and negative emotions have to first be removed before energizing the body or they may manifest physically, physically, and sometimes dramatically, dramatically, through vomiting, loose bowel movement, a rash, flu or other symptoms. Such expelling is often labeled as “detoxification” “detoxification”,, however, however, it is quite uncomfortable and can be prevented with proper cleansing. In fact, cleansing alone often allows the body to quickly heal itself by permitting fresh energy to penetrate deeper into the body to be utilized as healing fuel. 4. PRANIC HEALING employs a “cookbook” approach to healing. According to thousands of case reports gathered by GrandGrandMaster Choa Kok Sui, every ailment produces a unique set of energy patterns that can be identified in the energy body’s 11 major chakras and numerous meridians. REIKI has essentially one energy technique, facilitating the f low of Reiki energy
D PRANIC HEALING, by contrast, uses specific energetic routines of cleansing and energizing that are matched to the specific patterns of energetic deficiencies caused by a particular illness. PRANIC HEALING, thus, offers a quicker quicker,, more targeted and more effective system of healing. 5. PRANIC HEALING teaches its practitioners to directly draw energy from the sun, air, air, ground and other spiritual sources and then project this prana into their subjects’ auras and chakras. REIKI practitioners have to be “initiated” by a REIKI Master and given “symbols” to access the healing energies. It is similar to having to obtain a “password.” “password.” PRANIC HEALING employs simple breathing and visualization exercises that allow anyone to heal immediately with minimal instruction. 6. PRANIC HEALING includes a practice called “energetic hygiene” rarely found in any healing modality, modality, including REIKI. Energetic hygiene is a set of practices: breathing, dietary recommendations and other cleansing routines designed to keep your personal energy tank clean and full. REIKI Masters attending PRANIC HEALING classes agree that energetic hygiene is one of the greatest benefits of the class, particularly the techniques that enable them to cleanse themselves of contaminating contaminating energy they pick up from clients and how to prevent subjects or negative people from draining their life force. This is particularly important not only for REIKI practitioners, but also other healthcare providers because these people frequently experience pain or the ailment of their subjects and become drained and tired after healing someone. 7. PRANIC HEALING employs the use of color energies that dramatically accelerate the body’s innate healing abilities. In fact, many REIKI Masters who have taken PRANIC HEALING often say that if they have a subject who wants immediate relief or rapid healings, they use PRANIC HEALING — particularly, particularly, the colored pranic techniques. But, if they have a subject who wants a relaxing and soothing session, they use REIKI. In summary, both PRANIC HEALING and REIKI are excellent healing modalities and help alleviate pain and suffering. However, However, PRANIC HEALING gives you the tools to produce faster and more immediate results while “immunizing” you against contamination contamination from the people you are healing.

In Korean language SU means hand, and JOK means foot. The theoretical basis of this system of healing is the discovery in each hand and foot, shape and points corresponding to each part (organ) of human body. These corresponding micro points (systems) in hands and feet can therefore be used conveniently and effectively as remote controls to treat any diseased organ/part in human body. body. SU JOK ACUPUNCTURE is a multi-dimensional healing system. The first dimension is a physical healing system, whereby giving simple stimulation to the

It is possible as hand as a miniature correspondence treatment system is the most symmetric part of the human body in structural shapes among entire corresponding systems. On the other hand, the most potent and effective miniature body correspondence system is found in the foot. This type of therapy is very popular due to its ease to learn, safety, safety, efficacy and pace of healing response is often dramatically fast. It contain no forbidden or dangerous practices. Therefore, Therefore, it can be practiced by paramedics and laymen for self and others treatment. The second dimension treatment is adapted from classical acupuncture.

He will then be able to treat a wide variety of illnesses of any part/system of body, body, including psychological conditions in best possible way. Following is a brief list of common health dimensions/disorders frequently frequently treated with Su Jok Acupuncture therapy:
Preventive Care This aspect of SU JOK ACUPUNCTURE is in some ways more important than the treatment of a patient already ill. Not only by inserting needles, but by merely stimulating corresponding points on hands and feet by finger pressure or stimulators one can remain free of illnesses as this helps in developing, strengthening and supporting body’s resistance/immune system.
Curative Care Head disorders (headaches, epilepsy e pilepsy etc.), nervous system and psychiatric disorders, eye disorders, ear, nose and throat disorders, cardio vascular system’s disorders, system’s disorders, lung disorders, digestion disorders (nausea, constipation, diarrhea etc.), gentio-urinary system and gynecological disorders, sex-organs disorders, obesity etc. Apart from above indicated brief list, SU JOK ACUPUNCTURE is very useful in management of cancer and other malignant disorders, particularly the pains of all kinds of cancer. cancer.

Back body: Back of the palm
As mentioned, the remarkable feature of Su Jok is astonishing simplicity. The only thing is that the corresponding nerve points as per Su Jok and the actual affected area should match on each and every occasion. After a little practice your fingers move automatically to the corresponding point and you can start applying the pressure. After a particular time of working at one’s own skills, it takes a few seconds to identify the problematic point. In fact having tried a number of experiments, Su Jok therapy is accurate and effective. And if a health problem is of recent origin, say a stomach ache, pain due to a recent accident, sprain etc. Su Jok gives virtually instant relief. Where spinal chord and other chronic problems are concerned, Su Jok, if done religiously, religiously, certainly gives relief. It seems very likely too that if both basic Su Jok and A therapy discovered by South Korean professor, professor, Park Jae Woo. When compared to other holistic methods of healing Su Jok is simple and uncomplicated. Sri Yogananda’s says “God is simple… Everything else is complex.” In fact it is this simplicity that has endeared Su Jok to holistic practitioners and pupils all over the globe. Su Jok is considered as an advancement in the arena of acupuncture, this South Korean holistic therapy at its most basic involves acupressure. In fact so effective is Su Jok as an acupressure therapy that often the need for needles does not arise, as the health problem is taken care of by sirnply applying pressure to the corresponding points on either of the hands or the feet. The word SU in Korean means the hand and JOK means the feet. Thus the name it self speaks all about the therapy. therapy.

The best part of Su Jok is that, unlike other acupressure and acupuncture therapies, where one requires to learn the corresponding nerve points and then practice under professional guidance. In Su Jok therapy all the nerve points of the body are located specifically on the hands and feet.

The shape of the site is a horizontal stretched towards east, which I was looking for, as it serves as a catalyst to work upon my concept and segregate the zones of different functions. An existing lake (water body) in the north of the site. An existing canal covers the site in the north and west direction of the site, works as a segregation from the other agricultural lands, Sardar Patel Ring Road and also directs the way towards the site from the main road. The site is already proposed for an institutional project and is just 1.5 kms. away from the Bhadaj village and 2.8 km from the Ring Road. It is easily accessible from the main road through public and private transportation due to an existing landmark (Science City) nearby.
Though nearby the main road and the Bhadaj village, it is silent and isolated from the public and vehicular traffic, any kind kind of public activity and any kind of pollution. Thus, this ‘isolation’ serves the purpose and the need of my proposal.

Architectural designs have explored transparency in fluid and complex forms through the developed understanding understanding of structure and geometry. Also, the use of glass leads to Energy Responsive Design concepts. Glass is transparent and reflective, depending on its ambient light conditions. Coatings and treatment of the glass surface can also transform it to be translucent, opaque, semi-transparent, or even selective in terms of radiation and colour. colour.

Textures In Landscape “Enhancing The Charm, Embossing The Touch Sensuality, A Musical Analogy Or A Rhythmic Vision, Forming An Artistic Discipline T o Implement A Richer Language & A Flavor To A Landscape, A Justice To Our ‘Feel‘Feel -good’ Emotion…”
T Gardens are places where we can all interact with nature and, if we get the design of the gardens right, this interaction can be much more than simply pleasant – pleasant – it it can make us feel calm and improve our sense of wellbeing. Texture is one of the essential design elements that can be utilized in landscape design to create a beautiful, unified outdoor space and activate an emotional response, causing you to want to reach out and touch. As a design element, texture is simple to define but putting the principles of designing with texture into practice can sometimes be a bit more complex. However, However, its an effort worth making as everyone can appreciate the effects of texture in the finished landscape. Texture can be used as a visual as well as a tactile feature. Texture Texture can also affect the quality of light in a landscape – landscape – eg. eg. Feathery foliage gives filtered light, thick leathery leaves gives dense shade – shade – so so that needs to be considered too, for a landscape planning.
1 - Drawing an inspiration from nature, such as the colour and texture of autumn leaves and other foliage.
Nature as Inspiration When thinking about how I can use texture, take the cue from nature, there are many different types of naturally occurring textures- eg. Beads of water forming on smooth surface of a leaf, leaf, the patterned bark of a tree, autumn leaves on the ground, weathering of wood and lichen on rocks. Texture Texture is the element that makes one “feel” something in the garden, whether it is the pleasant sensation one gets w hen touching the soft n’ furry foliage of a plant, laying on the grass under the shade of a tree or soaking up the winter sun on rough paved area giving earthy warmth feeling. Different textures and combinations of texture have varied effects on people and their perception of that space. The use and composition of texture in the landscape can provide spatial definition, making an area feel larger or smaller, smaller,
T Use of Foliage Texture Plantscape design primarily involves the careful use of foliage texture. When thinking of texture in the garden, foliage plays a major role because it is the use of plant life that defines a space as a garden. Eg. The use of fine-textured foliage in the foreground with the gradual transition to larger leaves towards the back. This can make garden look bigger than it actually is and more open.
5 - The rough 6 - Water has texture of a smooth – Using smooth and consistent textures that are pleasing to the eye, such as Formal – Using natural stone texture that regular leaf sizes and materials with the same patterning. Employing a balance of soft can be used as can be used and hard textures and emphasizing regularity and flatness. an effective to balance – Opting a bold contrast of textures in the features that include manContemporary – Opting made patterns and textures, favouring smooth over rough. Using ordered textures such contrast to other out the rough textures such as stack-stone walls and natural plant forms in regular patterns during the use of natural smoother garden textures. as stone. materials. To place the focus on hard materials and a design that is crisp and edgy. – This style calls for a random assortment of textures that imitate nature. Using features that combine rough Bush Garden – This textures with smoother, softer textures. Making extensive use of plant textures for contrast and including weathered hardscape elements such as aged timber. Rough with the Smooth Rough-textured elements often provide a substantial foundation for a landscape with their solid, e arthy feel and are also useful as contrasting features. Eg. Sawn stone, natural rock boulders, gravel, mulch, tree fern stems and rendered walls. Smooth textures appear clean and crisp. Eg. Tiles, glass, water, water, smooth bark and large-glossy leaves. Smooth surfaces give an impression of order and control. They are also often reflective so the element can be perceived as a flat
T Patterning creates visual interest, contrast and movement. Landscape materials that provide patterned textures include paving, mosaics, repetition of plants with unique forms, fences, raked gravel and unusual tree bark. Soft textures can be the most effective feature of a garden as they invite people to touch and impart a warm feeling. There are many ways to introduce softness to a landscape. This includes paving, rocks, succulent plants, timber, and glass. Other unusual textures can be a draw point, such as papery, crinkly or lacy leaves.
Contrast or Complement? Contrast is important for all design elements as it creates features. Some textural examples are the rough texture of dry-stone walls next to a smooth paving or a large-leafed feature plant in the midst of a small, tightly leafed hedge. Contrasting textures can attract attention to a feature or direct attention to a nice view. Complementary textures can have the effect of creating unity and calm in the landscape. Similar textures may be used to blend or hide an unsightly area by encouraging the eye to glide over the area.
Texture as a Design Feature Complex textures, such as patterns, attract attention while smoother textures allow the eye to pass across them without interruption. Overall, the textures in a unified landscape should gradually change from fine to coarse, or vice versa, as the eye moves around the garden. The exception is where we want to create a feature by juxtaposing j uxtaposing fine textures with coarse textures to create contrast. Textures can be used to define a space as active or passive. A variety of bold, contrasting textures activates the landscape and promotes movement while selection of blended, similar textures creates calmer, calmer, more passive space for relaxation.
P Purple tickles the brain. It speaks to us of mystery and enlightenment. Purple gardens evoke evoke delight and and sumptuousness. Leonardo da Vinci said that light streaming through purple stained glass windows could increase the power of meditation ten fold. And scientists have found that purple stimulates the brain activity used in problem solving, integrating both hemispheres of the brain – brain – the the thinking left side with the feeling right side.
Purple is a blend of stimulating red and calming blue, the proportions of which determine its hue. Shades range from an indigo blue-purple to a violet redpurple. In the case of chakras, indigo purple governs the pineal gland or third eye and Violet purple triggers the crown chakra at the top of the head. Focusing on these respective colors quiets the mind. Purple flowers have been proved to be r ich in nectar...that nectar...that is why bees and butterflies love purple flowers.
Purple is used in healing and meditative spaces. In gardens it is used to create a luscious setting that

P Meaning : Pyramid is a greek word consisted by two words Pyra + Mid. Here the term ‘Pyra ‘Pyra’’ means Fire and ‘Mid’ means ‘Centre Core’. Core’. Hence it is said that an object obje ct which contains ‘Fire’ (here the deeper meaning of Fire refers to the energy field) in its centre core or nuclei. This shows that Egyptian people were fully aware of the deeper meaning of Fire and were using accordingly thousands of years ago. has been known from from ancient History : The Pyramid has times as a powerful design that connects to energy forces and its shape is identified with healing qualities. The Egyptians viewed the pyramid as a spiritual symbol because its form directs the electromagnetic energy surrounding the earth and from the stars and other planets.
Geometry : The Pyramids are four triangular sides, equal in size, resting on a square base with the triangular sides joined to form an Apex Apex at the top. The shape of t he Pyramid is such that all type of rays falling on its surface or any radiation directed towards it, passes through the sides to coverage at the centre of the pyramid and deflected downwards through the bottom of the pyramid. The cosmic radiation passing through it mingles with the earth’s magnetic field, the line of force of the surface of the earth and the energy field emanating within the four triangular sides and square base and a new energy field is created. This field has Great Energy. Energy. The four angles of Pyramid represent intellectual, truthfulness, spirituality
P Man is the smaller version of universe. He is controlled by 5 elements Fire, Water, Water, Air, Earth and Space; and the 7 energy chakras. In the same way, way, atom is also a miniature solar system in its own. As per the sacred geometry the space inside the Pyramid is the whole universe in itself. Let us consider the example of bubble, air inside and outside it is the same, but, once the air is bound by the surface it will represent as a w hole. Thus, the beautiful co-relation of universe <-> man architecture creates creates a link between the essentiality essentiality of our 5 elements and 7 energy centres. This perfect miniature universe of Pyramid can bring balance and harmony in particle, cell or matter. matter. The enhanced energy field created by pyramids has become a popular field of study in recent decades. Dr. Dr. Patrick Flanagan, an electronics genius with hundreds of patented inventions, inventions, published a book on pyramid power in 1973. He believes the five angles of the pyramid project a beam of radiation towards the centre - the "fire in the middle."Flanagan calls this amplified life-giving force " biocosmic energy ," though science has not yet understood the specifics of this energy. Karel Drbal, a Czechoslovakian engineer and pyramidologist, described the pyramid as "a kind of cosmic antenna, tuning into sources of energy of vaster intensity and then focusing it into its centre .“ With Kirlian photography Patrick Flanagan demonstrated that while most of the positive energy is focused within and beneath the pyramid, some is also diffused from the five points. Many who have stood on top of the Great Pyramid have described sensing a high energy field or electrical charge. Since the 1970s engineer Joe Parr, Parr, a member of the G reat Pyramid of Giza Research Association, has written about theoretical "mass particles" that the pyramid shape attracts and traps. He states that these particles produce an orb-like energy field or "containment bubble" around any true pyramid, which shields out other energies. Using his gamma ray transducer he was able to study this energy field, which emanates from the one-third height level of the pyramid, the geometric centre (which he pinpoints as the Queen's Chamber in the Great Pyramid). He claims this centre holds three mass particles captive as long as there is space for ions to flow. He found that sun spot activity and t he phases of the moon had an effect upon the

"A Stitch In Time Saves Nine"
S Culture and Mythology – Mythology – The Ennead, or nine pointed star, is an ancient and sacred symbol. It comprises three trinities. The Egyptian, Celtic, Greek and Christian myths all have an ennead of nine gods and goddesses, representing the entire archetypal range of principles. Chinese Culture Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children. It has 117 scales - 81 yang (masculine, heavenly) and 36 yin (feminine, earthly). All three numbers are multiples of 9 (9x13=117, 9x9=81, 9x4=36) as well adding up individually to 9 (1+1+7=9, 8+1=9, 3+6=9). Ancient Egypt The nine bows is a term used in Ancient Egypt to represent the traditional enemies of Egypt. European Culture The Nine Worthies are nine historical, or semi-legendary figures who, in the Middle Ages, were believed to personify the ideals of chivalry. Greek Mythology The nine muses in Greek mythology are Calliope (epic poetry), Clio (history), Erato (erotic poetry), Euterpe (lyric poetry), Melpomene (tragedy), Polyhymnia Polyhymnia (song), Terpsichore (dance), Thalia (comedy), and Urania (astronomy). Japanese Culture
Mathematics - In base 10 a number is divisible by nine if and only if its digital root is 9. That is, if you multiply nine by any natural number, number, and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it is just one digit, you will end up with nine: 2 × 9 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9) 3 × 9 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9) 9 × 9 = 81 (8 + 1 = 9) 121 × 9 = 1089 (1 + 0 + 8 + 9 = 18; 1 + 8 = 9) 234 × 9 = 2106 (2 + 1 + 0 + 6 = 9) 578329 × 9 = 5204961 (5 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 + 6 + 1 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9) Thus, the Hebrews referred to nine as the symbol of immutable Truth. Religion and Philosophy - The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system, which originated from the Indian subcontinent as early as 3000 BC. Science Astronomy There are nine planets in the solar system. Chemistry The scientific periodic table of elements on which the whole science of Chemistry rests has 108 elements.

C I initiated firstly with working upon the Great Pyramid which I have to connect with the prayer hall. I started with different options of placing the prayer hall and the meditation hall whether I must place inside the pyramid or as a different different building block keeping a bridge as an entrance to the prayer hall and the meditation hall, the wholly surrounded by water. Schematic 3D sketch of a part view of the jogging track and meditation hall connected with the prayer hall, water body, bridge, parking and the area for suryanamaskar. Schematic Site Section depicting the play of levels and the skyline formed comparing the height of each building block.
C I have considered the number ‘9’ as the base of my concept. First of all, I allotted the areas to each function and spaces in the multiple or the factor of 9. Further, Further, I divided my site in 9 parts, and later each part into 9 equal parts as I wanted to consider symmetricity, symmetricity, a perfect geometry as one of the main aspects of my design. Keeping in mind the magic square (described in the last para of this page), I considered the main axis as North-South axis and started segregating the different functions and spaces in correspondence to the main axis and the equal divisions. The main building blocks such as the meditation hall, meditation pockets pockets and the seminar areas, in short, the part of the t he institute used for providing training and practice, were placed on the main N-S axis with the meditation pockets pockets responding the lake . The placement of functional blocks was done on the basis of the activity pattern of the patients and the participants. Near to the main entry was placed the treatment / healing zone, admin area, the multi-galleria. The accommodation and the kitchen – kitchen – dining dining zoning was done on the south-west and the north-west respectively and most away from the main entry so as to form a disconnection between these spaces and the treatment zone.
