Mandala Art: An alternative for Addiction treatment -Part 1

Addiction of drugs or alcohol is not only a crisis globally found but is less talked about too. But not many people are able to resist the urge of consuming addictive stuff after they have been discharged from the facilities. Reason, they are not accepted easily back in their old lives and they are beings that have already lost hope and positivity from their life. Thus, it becomes necessary that we establish a new way to not only help individuals fighting their way back to a normal life, but also inspire them for positive thinking and betterment in life. 

A couple of new treatments have emerged, today the addiction rehab centres have individual & group therapy sessions and a wide range of other therapeutic methods to treat it as well. These other therapeutic methods include, Mandala Art which is found to be very helpful and has proven effective in helping people in recovery process from addiction and substance abuse. Let’s see how it works in the different phases of treatment. 

Mandala Sessions in Rehab Centres

Mandala art is now becoming popular in many rehab facilities. Mandala is a non-addictive self-soothing technique that can work wonders in inculcating positive self-image and build confidence in person fighting addiction. It helps in augmenting self-image which is necessary for someone who has lost their own-self overtime due to addiction. It is a way to find yourself back and mending the severed strings with yourself over time. 

A mental collapse in adulthood leaves more deeper scares than we can think off. A person is caged in depression and not to forget the withdrawal symptoms that do not leave the person alone for a very long time. The calmness that comes from mandala art can help a person that away those negative thoughts about themselves and pick up their life with new energy and positivity, Mandala art in short delivers a person a will to continue on the path of getting riddance from addiction. 

It is necessary to understand that a person is not only fighting a battle of strong urge that has been gripping them for years, but also a mental battle to gather the strength to fight the distress that comes along. “Will the world take me back?”, a person continues to ask itself that echoes the answer, “Why to change, if nothing is going to fall into place”. We can change that answer into positive one by seeding hope and courage through mandala art form. It is a self-healing procedure which works magic, in finding the answers yourself. It works as meditation, an important medicine to mend yourself on inside.

Mandala Art: An alternative for Addiction or Palliative treatment -Part 2

How Mandala Art Therapy Blends in with Other therapeutic treatments? 

Mandala Art therapy can serve as an additional therapy for the residential treatment. The parts that are affected by the brain during any art therapy are different from other therapeutic methods. It opens up the creative lobe in the brain. Which is relaxing, fun, and soothes you from inside. It can be an excellent end-of-the-day activity, where patients can positively construct and embrace things they learned from other activities. It will speed up their recovery. 

It is very effective in easing of the mental and emotional exertion that is common to happen during the psychoeducational and process group sessions. This can keep them engaged in a constructive manner and will help them go forward in their quest.

How does it work? 

Mandala therapy uses patterns and different coloring methods that opens up the creative side of the brain and provides them a new dimension to grow. But most importantly, the colors and patterns help them understand their biggest fears and prepares them to creatively work on them to restart their life with new energy and positivity. 

A person drained out of positivity finds it difficult to cope with the fast-coming changes that come along addiction rehabilitation or palliative care. There are physical and mental both challenges. They fear change and this decreases their efficiency to work with the therapy. Self-motivation comes from the art therapy. 

Also, for people, specially, the difficult patients with real issues and problems can have separate sessions with mandala art therapist that uses color psychology to understand their problems and reach out for help in their coping process.

Art therapy sessions become their safe space to cocoon in and find their way back to the world of hope. It soothes them and encourages them to work on their issues themselves. Not many people are open up, this challenge is easily fought by art therapy and has proven effective. 

Mandala making connects them to spirituality. Even for a general population, meditation and spiritualism can make things positive and wonderful. It teaches self-love and to spread light around you. Someone in darkness, like people in rehabilitation process need it the most. It doesn’t need hours, plus helps them meet the wholeness, or cosmos. It balances them with the nature, promotes mental health and self-development. They can make their own mandala or they can use online mandala designs available online to color it and talk about their experiences. 

Post-rehab or palliative care art therapy sessions and their effects

Keeping up the process and curbing the urge to again leap on to the darker side is what the addition fighters fear all the time. The process of self-healing doesn’t end as they walk out of the rehabilitation center. It is actually start of the actual problems, like acceptance. 

Mandala art strengthens them from within and prepares them for the harsh world and unacceptance. But most importantly, it makes accept themselves first. To meet with the wholeness is a joyful experience, it completes you in many ways. It generates a new perspective towards life. It helps you understanding your priorities and keeps you on track. Patients are needed to be encouraged to keep on going with post-rehab mandala art therapy. It calms people down after they have had a hard day, rather then going back to drugs or alcohol, it is something which is constructive, positive and full of life. 

Use the imagination of DNA Reiki and your Brain’s Software program to Free yourself from resentments from your DNA!

“Be your own person. Be a conscious co-creator.”

I thanked spirit and my inner divinity and goddess for guiding me as I channeled the message and set out to design the resentment code program.

One fine day I was posting inspirational messages for my clients on the computer and there came a download in my heart – Do you want to let go of Resentment? Of what use it is for you and what kind of energy is it fulfilling within you? I instantly said to my inner guides/Inner council – “Oh no, I’m not in favour of holding back any energy –please help me resolve it!”

(Photography : Ranjini’s own photography )

Let’s decode “Regrets” using the software developer lingo..using DNA Reiki 

The regret list can be longer or smaller depending on how you have been dealing or addressing regrets in your life. Some people do something about it by making new choices or taking action and changing their energy and mindset. Some people chose to live in regrets and resentments.

Here are the Instructions for decoding it as suggested by my council. Firstly before receiving this download you are giving your full consent to the Divine Creator ,Reiki Masters, Soul Guides and keepers of the Light to free yourself from this pattern. 

So for a moment, I’m going to ask you to take a piece of pen and paper and write down all the regrets that you have about your life or career or about relationships…Wish you had or Wish you hadn’t.

Once you have completed the list, Bring your focus and attention to your brain and heart and gut. Imagine this bug called ‘Regret’ has entered your system like a computer virus. 

And you have been wanting to let go of this energy but did not know how?

Suddenly you have access to an anti-virus software to it! It’s in the form of a USB or “Sei Hei Ki” key aka as a software program code (DNA). 

See yourself installing it with a CD or USB having SHK key- SHK is inserting into your brain, heart and gut. 

Turn the SHK key and enter the passkey (as per your creative Imagination) 

Let’s name the passkey as “Progress” & “Leap” and 10-17 (Switchword Number 10 raised to the power of -17 ) (*website www.blueiris.org )

See your organs processing these software codes. Imagine some clearing is happening inside…some spaces are clearing for new things to enter your life. 

Some creative visual images for Subconscious mind to believe it’s happening is to see it being deleted or uninstalled from your system.

Idea here is to visualise command prompt “Delete Regret Software” Confirm Y or N –Are you sure? Press Y button to continue.”Uninstall complete”100% to 0% .

Uninstalling the imprints. Formatting and re-installing New Blueprints for resentment from Heart Chakra.

Once you feel the job of completely uninstalling or deleting the VIRUS called REGRET is done, It will prompt you -Do you want to install “PROGRESS” or “UPGRADE to LEAP” software?

Again, Y or No as a command prompt to choose the software code and enter CHK symbol passkey to proceed…Once you press Y to confirm see the CHK symbol software installing into your brain,heart and gut and see it getting done from 0% in 100% in less than _3_ mins / 33 seconds. 

Intend and Intone CHK Symbol 333 (3 raised to the power of 33 times) 

And know you are ready to move forward in your life.

You are now FREE from any past regrets or resentments in your life ….

You could now reprogram the new software that you want …

Now re-designing a new empowering program is your choice! 

Give Reiki to the Mind ,Heart and Gut and close with GASSHO gratitude prayer and thank your guides.

Reinvent yourself – through design thinking (Podcast)

Can you really design your own life in much the same way the architect designs a house and the writer designs a book?

David Bohl at https://possibilitychange.com/design-your-life/ shares his perspective that he doesn’t know if we can design every aspect of our lives because we have certain fixed and certain variable aspects.

For example, we cannot change our upbringing: the parents, siblings, education, childhood experiences, and all that went on before you came to this awareness of your ability to design your life. All that happened in the past has shaped who you are today, so you will need to start designing your life from this point forward.

The great news is that you do not have to leave your present organisation – as I share with a real example – but can reinvent your current situation to give you more of what you want for yourself from your work AND your life!!

As an ex-IBMer, and now a leadership coach, facilitator, and expert in DESIGN THINKING explains what design thinking is, and most importantly how you can use it to RE-INVENT yourself and your career.

How to Purify and cleanse your crystals at home!

Purifying and Focusing Your Crystals

Purifying Your Crystals

As crystals hold the energetic charge of everyone who comes into contact with them and absorb emanations from their surroundings, as well as your personal energies, they need regular purifying. This is particularly so when they are being used for healing. It is sensible to purify and re-energize a crystal every time it is used. The method employed will depend on the type of crystal. Soft and friable crystals, for instance, and those that are attached to a base can be damaged by water, and soft stones such as Halite will dissolve. These are best purified by a ‘dry’ process such as brown rice or sunlight, but sturdier crystals benefit from being placed under running water or in the sea.

 Purifying Your Crystal

As crystals hold the energetic charge of everyone who comes into contact with them and absorb emanations from their surroundings, as well as your personal energies, they need regular purifying. This is particularly so when they are being used for healing. It is sensible to purify and re-energize a crystal every time it is used. The method employed will depend on the type of crystal. Soft and friable crystals, for instance, and those that are attached to a base can be damaged by water, and soft stones such as Halite will dissolve. These are best purified by a ‘dry’ process such as brown rice or sunlight, but sturdier crystals benefit from being placed under running water or in the sea.

The task at hand as this activates them. By taking the time to attune a crystal to your own unique frequency, you enhance its vibratory effect and amplify its healing power.

 Methods:

 1-Running water

7 Ways to Cleanse Healing Crystals and Gemstones

Hold your crystals under a running tap, or pour bottled water over them, or place them in a stream or the ocean to draw off negative energy (use a bag to hold small crystals). You can also immerse appropriate crystals in a bowl of water into which a handful of sea salt or rock salt has been added. (Salt is best avoided if the crystal is layered or friable.) Dry the crystal carefully afterwards and place in the sun to re-energize from any niches or cracks in the crystal as otherwise it will absorb water in the future and could cause splintering.) Place the crystals in the sun to re-energize.

 2-Smudging

Sage, sweetgrass or joss sticks are excellent for smudging as they quickly remove negative energies. Light the smudge stick and pass it over the crystal if it is large, or hold the crystal in your hand in the smoke if it is small. It is traditional to fan the smoke gently with a feather but this is not essential.

3-Visualizing Light

Hold your crystal in your hands and visualize a column of bright white light coming down and covering the crystal, absorbing anything negative it may have picked up and restoring the pure energy once more. If you find visualization difficult, you can use the light of a candle.

4-Focusing and Activating your crystals ( new moon to full moon phase )

Tips : Use a selenite plate or wand to re-energize the crystals

Once your crystal has been purified and re-energized, sit quietly holding the crystal in your hands for a few minutes until you feel in tune with it. Picture it surrounded by light and love. State that the crystal is dedicated to the highest good of all who use it. Then state very clearly your intention for the crystal – that it will heal or protect you, for instance. If it is intended for a specific purpose such as healing a particular condition, state that also. Repeat the intention several times to anchor it into the crystal.

Kubler Ross Model and Corona Connections

People feared when country’s corona count was 100.

No alternative text description for this image
*Kubler Ross Model

But now,there is no fear when it is over 190,000 The answer lies in the psychological view of man.

There is a philosophy called the “Kubler Ross Model”. That is, when a human goes through any tragedy, natural disaster, accident, they pass through 5 stages.

They are- 1.Denial

2.Anger

3.Bargain

4.Depression

5.Acceptance

1. Denial-Refusal to believe such a thing never happened.For example,we all denied that Corona will not come to us. Even it comes,repeated denial that it will not spread to our place due to hot climatic conditions.

2. Anger- Getting angry.For example, anger over the loss of income & the loss of normal life due to lockdown.

3. Bargain- Inwardly lamenting that the Corona may not have come & there should not have been a lockdown at all.

4. Depression-It happened like this and goes in to mental pressure & depression.

5. Acceptance – the last stage.

The other way around is to accept it. Example: Get used to living with Corona.

These 5 levels are not limited to Corona alone. Applies to all the problems in human life. The worst sufferers are the ones who do not reach Acceptance level and remain stuck.

$Millionaire piece of advise

1-Maintain Social Distance

2-Increase Immunity

3-Stay Safe
