AIIJII HEALING AND HOW THE CHAKRAS

RELATE TO DISEASE AND H E A L I N G

' ' Karin Nemri

I first became interested in death and dyjng after having a near death experience
in 1971. I spent many years trying to figure it out, which was not an easy tasit
because there was npthirig wntt^h about >t at the tim^, but I arn happy to teli you
that I finally did make sense of Jl all ahcl It had lead me to the heaiing path that I
am on now.

Being involved with hpspip^, aridremerriberingthe transition that I had from this
world to the next arid back ag^jn, heiped me to understand that there are a lot of
things goirig On around M? thWt we just don't see in the physical world. This is
when energy heaiing peeked my interest.

in recent years, there as been a growing interest in energy healing. Hospitals

and medical faciiities all over the country have been slowly but surely
incorporating Reiki, which is the most popuiar energy heaiing metiiod, into their
treatment systems.

For this reason, I became.- a certified Reiki practitioner which was the method I
was using up until a certain point.- Now I'm using the Alijii Healing rhethdd. The
Aiijii System encompasses not only Reiki, but all energy healing methods.

Reiki teaches that Healing Energy comes from God; and is channeled through
the practitioner and then directed to the dient. But wiiat makes Reiki work is the
invisible things that are happening with the Heaiing Energy from the time it is
sent from God, to the tJ^ie it reaches the practitioner. I wiii briefiy explain what i
ieamed from my NDE about Reiki and the energy system we call Heaven by
describing what happens during a Reiki session, i wiii Indude the invisibie parts
as weii.

When the practitioner asks God for the Heaiing Energy, His/Her messengers, or
Heaiing Guides, collect the energy and move it where It is needed to be used for
the client. MeanWhiie, the practitipner is iaying hands over the chakras of the
ciient. The Guides are very busy at this point. They are assessing the client's
energy fieid to dedde what needs to be done. Next, they iook at the energy from
God and determine how dnd where It needs to pe blended with the energy that
the client has. Guides mix ahd blend energy. If tiiey see soniething in the clients
energy fl^ld that they don't like, such as the ^riergy pf n^^sltlve dmotlpns, the
energy, of physical pain, or the energy of spirituai nnisund^rst^nding, they blend
divine love energy, which is the hPaHng energy frphi the God Source, with it.
This dilutes the negativity and; helps the clienti The Guides continue aiixing and
blending energies. Wfien tijey cfeate anjenergy recipe that they like, they push it
through the harids pf the pnactitlbner, who directs it tP the dient for heaiing. At
this time during the Rdiki session, the praptjtipner may feel a tingiing sensation or
heat sensation ih the palnis pf his/her hands. The Guides will continue to mix,
blend ahd push the energy thrpugh, until the client's energy field is the best it can
be, with wliat God has sent them to work With. God is the only one whP knows

36
exactly what a client needs, so the energy He/She sends is specific for that client
only and the Guides vyill work with that. It could be energy for spiritual healing,
emotional healing or physical healing, or any combination of the three. When the
healihg session is complete, the client's energy field is realigned and blended
with healing energy from God, and the negative aspects are diluted.

Now I will introduce you to the Aiijii Healing System. AiijH is the energy system
that is used in the Spirituai Realm, and is now being incorporated into the
physical world, because now that we are in the Aquarian age, people are
recognizing and accepting that we can use energy the way Heaven uses it. All
energy healing methods work because the Healing Glides are working invisibly
to make them work. Aiijii has decided to he|p people to see the difference
between what is invisible, and wtiat is in the mood to be seen-to give us a
concrete way to have a spiritual understandirig of healing. To bring this into
manifest, teams of healers frorii the ^piHtualrealm are working with healers in the
physical world in a very special way— and I fpund rpyself blessed to be part of
one of these teams. In the Aiijii Healing method, God allows the Guides to blend
with my energy field, and physically move the hands, to mix and blend the
energies. This is spirit possession. The purpose of this is to bring something from
the splntual into the physical and allow the cHeiit a way to see i t Studies have
proven that faith in a Higher Power and belief in a system will greatly affect how
one heals. And it is often said that seeing is t>elieving.

I should mention that in addition to the Guides possessing my body and moving
my hands, God also allows me to hear them. The counseling sessions that I offer
are conducted by the Guides, through voice channel. Now that you have an
understanding of how Aiijii works, I will now use a volunteer to receive a healing
so you can see how the Guides move energy.

When I conduct a healing session, the first thing that I do is look around the room
for a light source to use as a symbol of God. I will silently ask God for healing
energy, specific for the client. The Guides will collect the energy and blend it,
with themselves into my energy field, and you will see what happens.

I didn't mention earlier that during a healing session, the Guides not only blend
healing energy into the client's energy field, they also blend energy that they like
from the practitioner's energy field. There are perks to being a healer e because
if the Guides see something in the clients energy field that they think the
practitioner can use, they wiil blend it into his/her energy body, so in effect, I have
positive energy from every client I have ever seen blended into my energy field
for me to not only use for myself, but to share v^th other clients as well. So if the
clients I saw this week have something you can use, it wiil be shared with you.
This is one of the ways that Guides connect people. There is no need to worry
about your positive energy beihg divided up between too many people because
positive energy doesn't divide, it multiplies.

Now that the Guides are busy mixing and blending energy, I will be talking about
the chakrds and how they relate to disease and healing.

Chakras are the energy vortexes that give life to your energetic body, which is
another name for your spiritual body, the part of you that has eternal life. You
niay also call it your soul but I will refer to it as the energetic body or spiritual
body.

37
 There are 7 main chakras- each associated with a different part of the physicai
body and aiso e^ch associated with a different part of the emotional body. Aii
physical disease manifests from iong-term, unresolved emotional issues, the
energy of which igets stuck in on6 or more of these energy vortexes. If you trace
the etiology of any disease back beyond genetic and biological factors, you wiii
find that it not oniy originates in the emotional body, but you wili also understand
the difference between what is invisible (emotionai issues) and what is In the
mood to be seen. (Physical disease) If we think about this, healing is an intemai
process. When you investigate yolir attitudes, memories and beliefs with the
desire to release air negative pattems, this will result in both spiritual and
emotional healing, which will greatly affect physicai healing.

Now I wili focus on the individual chakras:

The first chakra, or root chakra. Is located at the base of the spine and is
associated, with the color red. The colors are used because each chakra spins
and vibrates at different frequency. The first and seventh 6hakras are the oniy
chakras that are active when you are born into this world. The first chakra
carries with it your life purpose. It carries with it ail of the lessons you need to
learn in your lifetime to help you to reach your life purpose. So we can say that it
carries khantia with it from other lifetimes, too. For those of you who do not
believe or are not sure if you believe in reincarnation, that's ok, because that's a
3"* chakra issue and we will get to that shortly.

The root chakra is the basis of your belief system, your security, and your
connection to others. It forms our group identity, which is about loyalty, honor,
and justice, teachihg us to treat others the way we want to be treated. The first
chakra grounds us. A dysfunctloning emotional system that Is caught in the first
chakra is brought about by fears of abandonment by the group, which could be
the famiiy, church, or community, fears of death, and fears of ioss of physical
order brought about by sudden ciiange. These unresolved emotionai issues can
manifest into physical dysfunctions of the iower spine, the feet, the rectum and
the immune system.

The 2"^ chakra, or spieen chakra is located in the lower abdomen below the
navei, and is associated with the color orange. This chakra resonates to our
need to fonn relationships with other people and our need to have a certain
amount of control, of our physical environment. The 2™* chakra offers choice, so
we can determine how we Tit in v/ith other peopie and how we fit in with situations
going on in the world. The 2*^ chakra is also the home of our creativity. We use
our creative energy to express how we want others to see us. This is a form of
control. To maintain control in our world, we also use money, other people and
our power of authority. 2"^ chEikr^ energy is active during the parent- teen
relationship. The parent needs to give up sortie controi and the teenager needs
to gain control. A healthy 2"^ chakra has a balance of control betweeh the self
dnd others. Diseases that are activated by issues of controi settle in sexuai
organs, large intestine, iower vertebrae, pelvis, appendix, bladder or hip area.

The 3"* chakra, or soiar plexus is located in the abdominal area above the navel,
and is associated with the color yellow. This is the personal power chakra.
Where the first chakra relates to group power, the 2™* chakra relates to the flow
of power between the self and others, the 3"' chakra relates to our personal
power in relation to the external world. This is the magnetic core of oqr ego and

38
personality, so there is a shift from how we relate to others to how we understand
and relate to ourselves.

I nientioned eariier that the first and seventh chakras ard the only chakras open
or active at birth, so this means also that we are not bom with self esteem, which
is a component of our personal power. Self esteem must be earned in the course
of living as we face our challenges. As we ieam to make ggod choices, our self
esteem soars. If we place our personal power into the hands of others to make
choices for us, our self esteem becomes less.

For those of you who don't believe in reincarnation, it is because the 3"* chakra
energy is telling you that the ego wants to be in control. The ego doesn't always
allow the energetic body to be seen because it wants to be in coritrol of the
Interhai self. Remember that the 2*^ chkkra wants to be in coritrol of the extemai
world. Depending upon how much power you give your ego, wiil determine how
much of your energetic body (spiritual body) is in the forefront, in order to even
begin to understand previous lifetimes, the Spiritual body must be upfront.
Intuition, or gut feeiirigs, is a component of the Spirituaf body. Whether or not
you respond to your intuition is a function of the ego. So remember that the ego
doesn't prevent you from hearing your intuition, it just talks you into not
responding to it if you give it too much power.

Fears of faiiure and rejection result in loss of personal power. All self esteem
issues, including those of trust, manifest as physical dysfunction and disease in
the abdomen, stomach, upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas,
adrenal giands, spleen and middie spine.

The 4"' chakra, or heart chakra is located in the center of the chest and is
associated with the coloi" green. This is the chakra of our emotions. This is
where we feel either love or fear. Fear is the comerstone of aii negative
emotions-: and iove is the comerstone of all positive emotions- The heart
chakra is the power center of the human energy system because love is divine
powdr. Some consider inteliigence or "mental energy" to be superior to
"emotionai energy* but it is emotionai energy that truly motivates us. We Ieam
about love our entire iives. Its energy is pure power. We are as attracted to love
as we are intimidated by It. We are also motivated by iove, controlled by it,
inspired by it, healed by it and destroyed by it. Love is the fuel of our physicai
and spiritual bodies. All of the challenges we face in our lives are lessons in
some aspect of love. How we respond to these challenges, determines how our
cells respond to us.

The Aiijii system has given us a biue energy that rests in the bottom of our
hearts. When we are sure that what we want is what we need, the Aiijii energy
will move from the b o ^ m of duf heart to the cehterOf Our heart...and we will feel
it. So what is the difference between ihis Aiijii Energy in our heart and our "gut
feeiings" or intuitiOh? Ihtuition is a tugging feeling, ah energy that calls us. Aiijii
bn'ngs us to the point of knowing.

Unresoived love issues of loneliness, commitment, forgiveness, compassion and

trust, and feelings of resentment, bitterness, hatred, grief, guilt and anger
manifest as disease in the heart and circulatory system, the lungs, the shoulders
and arms, the ribs and breasts, the diaphragm and the thymus gland.

39
The 5"^ chakra is the Ihroat chakra and is associated with the color blue. The
power of Will resonates from the 5th chakra. The 5"^ chakra helps us to
understand the difference between acceptance and surrender. If you accept a
situation, you are in a position to change it. if you surrender to a situation, it is in
a position to change you. Prom a spiritual perspeotive, our highest goal is the full
release of our personal will into the hands of God. By surrendering to God, we
are changed. If we surrender to a negative situation or relationship, we are
changed in a negative way

Chakras 1-4 are associated with the powers of the physical world while 5, 6, and
7 are associated with the powers of the Spiritual Realm. The S"* chakra is the
only chakra whose energy is between both worlds. So we can say that the 5'"
chakra integrates the poWer of the physical world into the power of the Spiritual
Realm. The 5**^ chakra helps us to see the difference that God makes.

5th chakra energy hopes to make us honest. Lying to ourselves or others only
creates distrust In ourselves and bnngs about pain. Remember that you cannot
lie to others unless you are first lyihg to yourself. Many of us may be sure not to
lie to other people but fail to see When we are lying to ourselves—this is called
denial. At some point in our lives we become aware that the personal power of
the 3"* chakra is not enough for us and we feel incomplete and limited. This most
often happens during a crisis. Being honest with ourselves about our limitations,
forces us to choose faith in God over faith in our fears.

Surrendering ourselves completely over to God is often a difficult challenge,

especially for those who are taught to believe that God Is a punishing God. In this
case, having faith in the fears of the ego will remain in effect and the 5'*' chakra
stagnates, preventing the person from moving forward.

The energy of faith forms a commitment. All illness is woven into the S"* chakra.
When we have faith in our fears, the negative energies become stuck in the
chakras.and commits us to physical illness. Issues of the 5*" chakra- faith in
ourselves and God, trust In ourselves, self-honesty and expressing our
convictions and ideas , if stagnated by our fears, will manifest disease in the
throat, the thyroid, trachea, neck vertebrae, mouth, teeth and gums, esophagus,
parathyroid and hypothalamus. Hayihg feith in a loving God is What heals.

The e"" chakra, or third eye chakra, is located in the center of the forehead and is
associated with the color indigo. This is the chakra of wisdom because this is the
spiritual center In which the interaction of the brain and psyche, (which is the
spiritual body) leads to truth. The psyche perceives thought fonns. In a way that
defihes truth, which are then tr^tiscnbed into thoughts by the brain to be
transferred into action. This blending of men^l and spliitual energy fonns a
basis for enlightenment because enriotidnal energy is not involved. This is what
is meant by 'detachment" -emotional energy iis not involved.

During a crisis, emotions are directed Inwardly, to allow us to feel emotional pain
that we need to leam from. This is 4"' chakra ehergy. As the energy moves
upward into the S"* chakra, we are forced to see our limitations as physical
beings and understand that faith in a higher power will free us. As the 6*^ chakra
becomes involved we realize that in truth, we are spiritual beings virith the power
to help ourselves from a perspective of non-judgement and without fear. When

40
we understand the iessons of our challenges, we can learn from our experiences,
otherwise the iesson must repeat itself in another way, most often with another
crisis. So i would suggest that when you find yourself in a crisis, stop and ask
yourseif what you neeoj to be learning from it. If you are u^irig your 6*" chakra
energy correctly, you will be able to do that because Just for that moment, your
emotions wiii not be involved. 'This allows y^ou to look at the energy power
behind the scenes of the crisis, because the crisis is only symbolic of the iesson
that you need to ieam.

This is the challenge of the 6 * chakra - to open the mind to deveiop an

impersonal perspective so you can have that "light buib moment", particuiariy for
self evaluation. Detachment doesn't mean that you don't care. It means stiiiing
ones fears long enough to aiiow cliarity of mind so that extemai forces have no
authority over the situation.

Illnesses brought about by an unwiiiingness to understand your fears or

unwillingness to step out of your emotions and by constantly worrying about
things you cannot change, manifests in the brain, pituitary and pineal glands, and
the eyes, ears and nose.

The 7^ chakra, or crown chakra is iocated on the top of the head and is
associated with the glow of white. It is our connection to Divine Energy, it is also
our connection to our spiritual nature. Whiie our entire energy system
(emotional, mentai and physicai) is integrated with our spirit body, the l''' chakra
is directiy aligned to seek an intimate relationship with Qod. The 7"' chakra
enables us to gain an intense internal awareness through meditation and prayer.
It is the chakra of inspiration, devotion and deep spirituai connectedness. 7"^
chakra energy caiis us to God in a way that is significantly different than a wish
for a connection to a reiigion. Religion is rooted in 1 ^ chakra energies, whose
main purpose is to protect the group, primarily-from physical threats of disease,
poverty, death, sociai crisis and war. So in essence^ reiigion is saying that it
wants to protect us fpom our fears of the physical world. So this is ok, but what is
the difference between being protected from our fears and reieasing our fears?
7*^ chakra energy encourages us to reiease our fears. This is where our trust in
God fomis trust in ourseives. Our fears are no ionger needed to keep us in
search of God, because in reieasing them, we have found Him/Her. For many
people religion is not a search for truth but a search for security. Truth is found in
the 7 * chakra.

Embtional issues relating to spiritual abandonment such as loss of identity, and

loss of a connection with life and the people around us, brought about by
"unfinished business* in relationships and by harbonng the past, manifests in the
major body systems such a& the muscular system, skeletal system and the skin.
These issues are also reminiscent of people who either fear God or v/ho don't
think they believe in a God or anything beyohd the physicai.

The 7 * chakra is the entry point of Divine Energy. It forces its way downward
through the lower 6 chakras. distributes itself throughout the entire physical body,
taking also energy from the ground, then loops its way up through the chakras
again and then back to Heaven. This is what is meant by the phrase, "I am in
God, God is in me.

41
This is the 7 chakras. I hope that now you have a basic understanding of the
charkas and how they relate to disease and healing. The study of charkas gets
very coniplicated because they are. all ihter-related, espedsiHy When studying
through tiie pei^pectiVe of personaiitir traits and characteif^tics. A closed chakra
always means that a neighboring chaki^ is ovej-comperiseitihg ih some way. For
example, if someone has 3"* chakra issues of self esteem, they can either bon'ow
energy from the 2"^ chakra and become a very controlling person, with a need to
control everything and everybody around them, or borrow energy from the 4"'
chakra, the love chakra, and become the person who gives and gives, not
accepting anything in retum due to feelings of being unworthy.

Understanding, the dynamics of the human energy system is a good start in

understanding how Aiijii works. Aiijri is a system of. moving, energy, not only for
healing, but for manlfssting the things that we want in our lives. Everything in
life, and the afterlife, is energy. You have been watching the Gukles blending
energy for the past 45 mihiites. This is my puipose for being here tbday-to help
you to understand the difference between what is invisible and what is 'in the
mood" to be seen, to give you a conorete way to have a spiritual understanding
of healing. By integrating the System into our physical world, we can fulfill our life
purpose, with the accepted knowledge that we are surrounded by Heaven.

I will conclude by saying Hiat All Healing is a miracle, whether it's physical
healing, emotional healing or spin'tual healing. All healing is a miracle, whether
Doctors do it with science or whether God does it with Guides. This is how God
does it. Thank you.
