With an excessive rise in conflicts and mental strain, the rise in Blood Pressure does not seem a very new subject. The reason for this is very simple. The main function of the heart is to supply blood and oxygen to all other organs in our body. This is carried on through arteries.

But, the excessive strain that a human being bears, is unmanageable by the arteries, thus they do not seem to cope with the pressures and are unable to carry blood to the other organs of the body. This leads to a lot of pressure on the part of arteries to perform the same function it could have done easily. The pressure forced by the heart to accommodate this function is called High Pressure. This High blood pressure can easily take our lives.  To escape from this deadly experience, people generally take coverage by highly strong and addictive doses of medicine to temporarily end the problems related to blood pressure. Blood pressure or commonly referred as hypertensions has been coined as ‘The Deadly Silent Killer.’ The hazards of this killer are uncountable, and it does not discriminate between age, color or creed. Though that is uneasily identified in the early stages, symptoms pertaining to it are hazy vision, Nausea, splitting headache, sluggish metabolism. This later on can lead to heart attack or a stroke or even paralysis.

Reiki – We are all humans bearing the flow of Prana or Life force energy inside our bodies. It is this ‘unseen’ force, which activates our energy channels and makes them revitalized. But, with overpressure or strain, these channels are disturbed causing acute diseases including hypertension.

People with High B.P. are benefited since this type of healing is very gentle without causing any negative effects. Apart from that people have experienced vast amount of changes in their immune system thereby relieving pain and reducing stress .

Pranic Healing – We are all surrounded by an AURA OR Energy which determines our health. This Aura balances our mental and physical state. It also helps us to recover from any illness or calamity. With modern technology and ignorance towards our basic health, diseases have spread like wild fire. The prana acts like a biocatalyst, which accelerates the healing process in our body. But the ignorance towards this magnificent and most powerful healing process has resulted in high dosage of sedatives, which are silent killers for the brain. Prana is received from 3 sources of Nature- Air, Sun and Earth. Solar Prana can be obtained through sun bathing or drinking water kept under the sun. The Air Prana is absorbed through the fresh air in the atmosphere through deep breathing or Pranayam. This eases the body and eliminates congested air from the lungs .
