- 00:00Thank you so much for taking the time
- 00:02to log in and join with me today.
- 00:05My name is Michelle Grand.
- 00:06I'm a licensed massage therapist
- 00:08and I worked with the patients
- 00:09at Smilow Cancer Hospital today.
- 00:11I have honor and privilege to work
- 00:13with you on the subject called Wakey.
- 00:15Many of us.
- 00:16I know I've heard Ricky and we know
- 00:18little bits and pieces about it,
- 00:20but we're going to go through a little
- 00:22bit about the history of Ricky.
- 00:24I'm going to go through the Chacras
- 00:27and we're going to go through a
- 00:29little bit of a hands on work today.
- 00:32OK so I'm Ricky comes from the Japanese
- 00:35word rave which means universal
- 00:38life and he which means energy.
- 00:42So Ricky is simply universal
- 00:44life force energy.
- 00:45If you're alive,
- 00:46then you have it and you have what
- 00:50you need to to self heal with.
- 00:52Ricky often wake you practitioners
- 00:54well they will.
- 00:56You will go through a certain training
- 00:58program and then you'll get an
- 01:01attunement by away keymaster and then
- 01:04you're able to perform wiki on other people.
- 01:07But we can all perform raky on ourselves
- 01:10with without any formal training.
- 01:12So how does Ricky work exactly?
- 01:15But there will be.
- 01:17A wiki was developed by a Buddhist name.
- 01:21Mikhail will surely,
- 01:22and it's based on the philosophy that
- 01:25we're all guided by the same life worse,
- 01:29which controls our physical,
- 01:31mental and emotional well being.
- 01:33It is sort of like this when
- 01:35the energy is flowing freely,
- 01:37we can access deeper reserves of power,
- 01:40and when the energy is blocked by stressor,
- 01:43unexpressed emotions,
- 01:43or maybe some on field trauma,
- 01:46we can function less than optimally.
- 01:48Sort of similar to the way it works
- 01:50with our acupressure program where the
- 01:52meridians may be blocked at certain points.
- 01:55This is more of an energetic
- 01:58blockage throughout the body
- 02:00from the head to the feet.
- 02:01In Reiko treatment of practitioner will
- 02:04send wake ienergy into the peak into the
- 02:08patient Shockers or energies centers,
- 02:11so the energy is able to flow
- 02:14easily and come back into balance,
- 02:17and that's what we're going
- 02:19to do on ourselves today.
- 02:22Basically,
- 02:22the hands-on wakey is a technique that
- 02:25calls for placing or gentle compassionate
- 02:28hands at various points on our body.
- 02:32The high vibration wakey
- 02:33touch fleshes out the toxins,
- 02:35gets rid of disease,
- 02:37could get rid of diseases,
- 02:39stressing blockages from our body,
- 02:41and it does increase the life force energy.
- 02:45Sometimes during shock rap balancing,
- 02:47we can suddenly feel a surge of energy,
- 02:50maybe at our head and you get
- 02:53a little bit of headache.
- 02:56Or at our hands and you may
- 02:58feel warmth in your hands,
- 03:01and that's due to the energy that's
- 03:04being released at that moment.
- 03:06Some shock was are overactive,
- 03:08and that shock was become imbalanced.
- 03:11And again when they're not in balance,
- 03:13we tend to vibrate.
- 03:15At a lower frequency an when were
- 03:18vibrating at a lower frequency,
- 03:20but manifestation of our desires
- 03:22and the things that we
- 03:23want. And sometimes that
- 03:25doesn't fall into place.
- 03:26Another thing that could happen when
- 03:29I shock was are not perfectly in
- 03:31balance is that we can't sort of get
- 03:34up to a higher level of consciousness
- 03:37and it just can affect our emotional,
- 03:39physical and spiritual health and well being.
- 03:42So This is why shock rebalancing
- 03:44is important and.
- 03:45And could be very beneficial to us.
- 03:48I'm gonna show you probably all seen
- 03:51that the chart on this picture of kind
- 03:54of like a body and the different colors,
- 03:57and I'm going to go through now.
- 03:59Each of the shacra points what they
- 04:02represent and what color they are.
- 04:04And again, of course, where there located,
- 04:06so we're going to start at the feet,
- 04:09and we're going to work our
- 04:11way up to the Crown.
- 04:13So the very first shock
- 04:15ground from the bottom.
- 04:17It's called the root shacra.
- 04:19And the root chakra
- 04:21represents our foundation.
- 04:23On the human body,
- 04:24it sits at the base of the spine and it
- 04:28gives us the feeling of being grounded.
- 04:31When the root Chakra is open,
- 04:33we feel confident in our ability
- 04:36to withstand challenges and kind
- 04:39of stand on our own 2 feet.
- 04:41When it's blocked,
- 04:42we can feel threatened as if
- 04:44we're standing on unstable ground,
- 04:47so again, it's at the base of
- 04:49the spine in a tailbone area,
- 04:52and it controls survival issues
- 04:54such as financial independence,
- 04:56money, and food,
- 04:57and the color of the root Chakra is red.
- 05:02Then we move up to the sacral shakra.
- 05:06The Sacral Shakra is located about 2
- 05:09inches below the navel and the sequel,
- 05:12shock shacra helps inform how we relate
- 05:16our emotions and the emotions of others.
- 05:19It also governs creativity and
- 05:22sexual energy and those with a
- 05:25blocked sacral saqua could feel a
- 05:27lack of control in their lives.
- 05:30It represents your sense of abundance,
- 05:33well-being, pleasure,
- 05:35and sexuality,
- 05:36and the color of the sacral shakra is orange.
- 05:41Next we move up to the Solar Solar Plexus
- 05:44Chakra that's in the upper abdomen,
- 05:47in the stomach area above the navel.
- 05:50Its color is yellow and it sort of
- 05:53controls are self worth or self
- 05:55confidence in our self esteem.
- 05:57So sometimes we need here kind
- 05:59of go with your gut.
- 06:01And what are you feeling in here?
- 06:04I've got that sort of relating to
- 06:06that to the solar plexus chakra.
- 06:09It speaks to your ability to be confident.
- 06:12And in control of your life.
- 06:15Again,
- 06:15think back to the last time baby you
- 06:18had butterflies in the pit of your stomach.
- 06:22Again,
- 06:22that's the The Solar Plexus Chakra at work.
- 06:25If it's blocked you might feel kinda
- 06:28overwhelming amounts of shame and
- 06:30self doubt and those with open sacral shock.
- 06:33Solar plexus shockwaves are are
- 06:34free to express their true selves.
- 06:37You kind of in touch with with kind
- 06:39of who you are and what your gut
- 06:42feels and what your intuition is telling you.
- 06:46So it's very good.
- 06:47So did to focus on that
- 06:50solar plexus area.
- 06:51Next we move up to the heart Chakra,
- 06:55which is the bridge between the
- 06:57lower shock was which are associated
- 07:00more with material things and
- 07:02the upper shock was which are
- 07:05associated more with spirituality.
- 07:07So as the name suggests,
- 07:09the heart chocolate can influence
- 07:11our ability to give and receive
- 07:14love from others and from ourselves.
- 07:16Some with a black heart shakra
- 07:19may have difficulty fully opening
- 07:21up to the people in their life.
- 07:24If someone's heart is open,
- 07:26they can experience deeper
- 07:28compassion and empathy. Again,
- 07:29it's located just at the center of the chest,
- 07:33just above the heart.
- 07:35It controls Lovejoy,
- 07:36an inner peace and the color
- 07:39of the heart Chakra is green.
- 07:42Above the heart Chakra is the throat chakra.
- 07:46The throat chakra gives voice to the
- 07:48heart Chakra and controls our ability
- 07:51to communicate our personal power.
- 07:54When it's functioning at full capacity,
- 07:56it allows us to express
- 07:58ourselves truly and clearly.
- 08:00Someone with a block throat saqua
- 08:03will feel they have trouble finding
- 08:06the words to say how they truly feel.
- 08:09Again, it's located in the throat area.
- 08:12The color is is a blue,
- 08:15a blue or it could be a turquoise
- 08:18and it controls communication,
- 08:21self expression and truth.
- 08:23Above the throat Chakra is
- 08:25the third eye chakra,
- 08:27the third ice rock chocolate
- 08:29is located right here.
- 08:31Sometimes it's referred to
- 08:33as the Brausch Aqua.
- 08:35It controls our ability to see the big
- 08:37picture and also to connect to intuition.
- 08:40You sort of think of it as the eye
- 08:43to the soul it readers information
- 08:46beyond the surface level.
- 08:48Again,
- 08:48it's located in the forehead
- 08:50between the eyes.
- 08:52It controls intuition,
- 08:53imagination, an wisdom,
- 08:54and its color is kind of like a deeper
- 08:57blue Leica, Leica, Indigo, Blue,
- 09:00and could even be like a purple color.
- 09:04Above that Third Eye Orb Roush
- 09:06Aqua is the Crown Chakra.
- 09:08This is the highest shock.
- 09:10Wow,
- 09:10it's it's at the Crown of the head
- 09:13and it represents our ability to
- 09:16be fully connected spiritually
- 09:18when you're fully open to your
- 09:21Crown shop where you're able to
- 09:23access a higher consciousness.
- 09:25Again,
- 09:25it's at the top of your head
- 09:28and it controls inner and outer
- 09:30beauty on a spiritual connection.
- 09:33Its color is a white color and it
- 09:37just represents our ability to
- 09:40connect on a spiritual level to
- 09:43the universe and to ourselves.
- 09:46So that completes all of the shack
- 09:48was that went through our body.
- 09:50At times we may have issues with
- 09:53maybe 1 schakra more than the other
- 09:55shock rise and we kind of all
- 09:58know maybe where are weak point
- 09:59is and it does change as well.
- 10:02You know,
- 10:03sometimes we feel there's so much to say.
- 10:05Maybe we have some feelings that
- 10:07we can express ourselves based
- 10:09on the situation in our lives
- 10:11and better throw chocolate.
- 10:12Maybe at a balance at that time
- 10:15and it may be at another time.
- 10:17We just we feel a little off balance.
- 10:19You know what kind of?
- 10:21Just like where is your life going?
- 10:23We don't know what's
- 10:24happening right now and then.
- 10:26Our root chakra is more
- 10:27affected at that time,
- 10:28so just keep in mind that
- 10:30you know a different days,
- 10:32different weeks of a month,
- 10:33different years in your life.
- 10:35The imbalance can definitely
- 10:36can definitely change.
- 10:38So what we're gonna do
- 10:39now that we're aware of,
- 10:41kinda where are shockwaves are
- 10:42and what they represent and mean.
- 10:44We're going to do a little bit
- 10:46a couple little exercises to
- 10:48kind of get in touch with them,
- 10:50and do a little release.
- 10:52So again,
- 10:53we're going to just start by
- 10:54rubbing your hands together briskly
- 10:56like this for a few seconds.
- 11:00OK, and now we're going to hold
- 11:03them still an intra tool apart.
- 11:05Now you should be a little
- 11:07buzzing there buzzing sensation
- 11:08in your hands so that's the feel
- 11:11of the life force in your body.
- 11:13You know it's there now put
- 11:15your hands over your eyes.
- 11:18And now feel the warmth.
- 11:22Again, this is a subtle enerji
- 11:24of life force that you can feel
- 11:27is running through your body.
- 11:30OK, now as we begin now,
- 11:32if you're not already in a quiet,
- 11:35comfortable place,
- 11:36just go ahead there.
- 11:38Bring yourself into a quiet
- 11:40place where you know you're
- 11:42not going to be disturbed.
- 11:47And when you do this at
- 11:49home, if you do this at
- 11:51home following this program,
- 11:52you know you can just turn down the
- 11:54lights you could put on a candle,
- 11:57maybe play some soothing music,
- 11:58just create a nice soothing environment
- 12:00where you have no distractions
- 12:02and you can really just take the
- 12:04time to just get in touch with the
- 12:07energycap running through your body.
- 12:08Now what we're gonna do is we're
- 12:12gonna dry base our body were gonna
- 12:15brush our hands in a sweeping motion,
- 12:19starting with our Crown chakra
- 12:21and moving down towards the floor.
- 12:23And we're going to complete
- 12:26this sequence three times.
- 12:28So from the Crown to the third eye.
- 12:33To the throat. To the heart.
- 12:38To the solar plexus.
- 12:41The sequel. And the route.
- 12:47Again, take a deep breath and just
- 12:50begin that drive, leaving of your
- 12:53body moving down each chakra.
- 12:58Hurt solar plexus. Signal
- 13:01and the world. A breath and
- 13:05for the third time the Crown third eye.
- 13:11Throat. The heart. The solar plexus,
- 13:16the sequel and the route.
- 13:20And I'll just take a moment and
- 13:23bring your hands to your heart.
- 13:25And set an intention now for
- 13:29our weekly practice today.
- 13:31It could be something like.
- 13:33I'd like to feel grounded in my body,
- 13:36or I'd like to open up to my intuition,
- 13:39or I'd like to be able to find my
- 13:42voice and calmly represent myself.
- 13:48Now imagine a beam of healing white
- 13:53light flowing into the top of your head.
- 13:59And flowing down through your entire body,
- 14:04spreading healing energy as it goes.
- 14:08Just visualize that white light.
- 14:13It's very bright,
- 14:14it's very clear and it's very pure.
- 14:21And feel that white light.
- 14:25Spreading healing energy.
- 14:28We're going to take that white light.
- 14:31And we're going to bring it down
- 14:35through each of the shop was.
- 14:38You're gonna take your hands and you're
- 14:41gonna hold your hands above each chakra.
- 14:44You're not gonna touch your head or
- 14:47your body but you're just gonna hold
- 14:49your hands right above the shack rap.
- 14:54And always continue the breath.
- 14:57Now feel that healing white light.
- 15:01Entering through the Crown of your head.
- 15:11Now take your hands and move them.
- 15:17In front of your forehead.
- 15:22Feel the energy of the white light. Entering
- 15:27your third eye. Shacra And breathe.
- 15:37You may prefer your right hand over
- 15:39your left or your left hand over there,
- 15:42right? Either Way is fine.
- 15:46Some prefer their dominant
- 15:47hand on top of the other hand.
- 15:51Now we're going to move down to
- 15:54the throat. That sharp line you
- 15:58could separate your hands so
- 16:00they're sort of side by side.
- 16:03And feel that white light
- 16:06entering her throat chakra.
- 16:12You may feel some warmth that's good.
- 16:19Certain areas might
- 16:20feel slightly heavy or murky
- 16:23in their enerji, as if the air
- 16:27above that body part is thicker.
- 16:30Or you may feel your enerji
- 16:32raised in certain areas.
- 16:35Just guide yourself
- 16:37and spend more
- 16:38or less time as you feel necessary.
- 16:44And when you're ready.
- 16:49Move your hands over your heart chakra.
- 16:54Feel that beautiful white
- 16:56light entering your heart.
- 17:03And breathe.
- 17:08Build a piece.
- 17:11Feel the ease.
- 17:19And when you're ready,
- 17:21bring your hands down to your solar
- 17:25plexus Chakra laid in your belly.

- 17:40a full breath and let it go.

- 17:58the sequel area below the
- 18:02navel. And feel the white
- 18:05light into your body.
- 18:11And breathe and feel the kiss.
- 18:15And finally, bring your hands
- 18:22down towards the floor.
- 18:28Toward your feet.
- 18:29And feel that energy of the white light.
- 18:34Embracing. The groundedness
- 18:37of your feet on the floor.
- 18:42And take a deep
- 18:50within. And let it go.

- 19:16Solar plexus the heart.

- 19:24And the Crown.
- 19:28Add a deep breath in.
- 19:31And when you're ready,
- 19:33bring your hands to your
- 19:35Heart Center in gratitude.
- 19:42If your eyes are
- 19:44closed, you can open your eyes
- 19:47and take one more deep breath in.
- 19:51Stretch your arms out.
- 19:54Over your hand man,
- 19:57Exhale, interpret polls.
- 20:01OK, beautiful. So I hope that was a
- 20:05clear explanation on how we can access.
- 20:08Our shock was through leaky where there
- 20:11located and what they're affiliated
- 20:12with an how come certain shock was
- 20:15are affected at certain times, days,
- 20:17weeks, months and years in our life.
- 20:20And again, this is something we could
- 20:23do at anytime of the day or night.
- 20:25When you wake up in the middle
- 20:28of the day before you go to bed,
- 20:31just take a moment and just offer that.
- 20:34Energee release to yourself and
- 20:36it's just it helps with your mind,
- 20:39body and spirit connection.
- 20:41There's a couple of other ways to
- 20:45impact positive energy in our lives,
- 20:48and one is called cutting cords
- 20:51of attachment were connected to
- 20:54people by energetic chords,
- 20:56and we exchanged this
- 20:58enerji with other people.
- 21:00Some chords are positive,
- 21:02which are the chords of
- 21:05unconditional love and care,
- 21:07whereas other cords maybe negative.
- 21:09Which sort of Poland?
- 21:11Deplete our energy through those
- 21:13cords so as you get in touch with
- 21:16your kind of energy through your own
- 21:19vibrations in your own self healing,
- 21:22it's sometimes good to be aware
- 21:24of what chords we have in our life
- 21:27and who is sort of tugging at them.
- 21:30Who is offering you know positive
- 21:33energy exchange with you and maybe
- 21:36some negative courage it enerji that
- 21:38are in our life and if possible
- 21:41it's good to just evaluate those.
- 21:43And see how they're working.
- 21:44You know, for you and your day to day life.
- 21:47Also,
- 21:48we have our desired manifestations
- 21:51and these are things that we say
- 21:55that we want in our lives and their
- 21:58categorized in physical health.
- 22:01In our physical body,
- 22:03health and finances are emotional
- 22:05love and relationship.
- 22:07We have our mental fears and Phobias
- 22:09and then we have a spiritual
- 22:12peace and Oneness.
- 22:14And when we give way key to our desires work
- 22:18raising our frequency level with our soul,
- 22:21our mind and our body to be In Sync
- 22:25with the frequency of our desires,
- 22:28we hope that this leads the
- 22:31manifestation of what we want.
- 22:33But it's good just to be aware
- 22:36that sometimes, uhm, Watt,
- 22:37our desires are are not perfectly
- 22:40aligned with what we truly, truly want.
- 22:42This is just an example.
- 22:44Somebody may say I want to get married.
- 22:47I intend to get married,
- 22:49but deep deep deep down inside.
- 22:51Maybe they're not ready for marriage.
- 22:54So it's also just good to be
- 22:56aware of the things that maybe we
- 22:59say we want or we think we want.
- 23:02Just take some time and.
- 23:04So that align truly from the
- 23:07bottom of our are sold with what
- 23:09it is that we want at this time.
- 23:12And when we get more in tune with our,
- 23:15our desired manifestations will
