Nursing Care : Health Information

The Trickster lives in all cultures. It is sometimes called the Contrary, the Joker, the Fool, Heyoka, or Coyote. Same concept: This person does things a whole lot different than anybody else. Yes, sometimes wreaking havoc but the end result is always a lesson. Because this lives in all cultures, it also lives in each of us. It, too, is part of being human.

Who among us has not fulfilled that role for others at some time or another in their lives? In a world where we simply have been designed to have different perceptions of the same events, this is inevitable. What is bizarre behavior to others can easily be a routine part of another individual’s experience.

Think back to some of the most impactful lessons you’ve received. Have they all come from familiar places or spaces in your life, or have they come from far out in left field, grabbing you by the soft spot and spinning you into new territory?

Sometimes the Trickster has only one lesson: Don’t take yourself so damn seriously! Oddly enough, the most healing medicine of all, Laughter, is something that so often must be imposed on us. Is that the most ridiculous thing in the world? It’s worth a laughgo on, give us a Yelp!

Some people, by nature, appear to take on the role of the Trickster. They seem to flow with a different current than the rest of us. Some are even aware of their purpose, and those are usually the ones that, no matter how twisted, exhibit a sense of having fun in the process. They enjoy being a FunHouse mirror that reflects anything BUT what the viewer wants to see.

Some of those who recognize their purpose also express it in the most annoying, rather than comical, ways. They’re the ones we want to haul off and smack right in the nose. Good Teachers, if you can loosen yourself up enough to see the value and stay out of jail in the process!

My Trickster can be your best friend. While I might want to strangle him, you will seek his embrace because the very same quality I detest is the one you adore. Go figure. In all cases, though, the Trickster calls upon us to look deeper than we’re usually willing to look on our own.

The effect of the Trickster is much the same as walking across a room, slipping on something and there you are; looking up at the world from a completely different perspective. The Trickster affects a shift where things unseen become seen, where a new angle on the view allows a clearer understanding of the event; once again, if, and only if you’ll take the time to see it.

If you’re here, you’re going to get tricked. It’s one of the Life-Force’s most potent tools. The power of the element of surprise resulting from suddenly being put off balance often forces you to adjust and come to stability through means of which you never had conceived. Once aware of how you can call on reserves you never knew you had, you become more capable of seeking out alternative solutions to whatever you face.

To be the Trickster all the time, however, is to limit your tool kit. When it’s a driven thing, like a stand-up comic who must always be on!, it becomes all about the comic, not the audience.

Developing the Trickster as a tool is all about developing sensitivity to the moments of your own experience. Turning the concept into a conscious act means identifying instances in your own life where you were turned upside down. Take a good look at your own comfort zone at the time, how it was challenged, and what your recovery looked or felt like.

The details of what happened in each incident are not as important as the overall flow of the experience. Ask yourself if your experience of the “teacher’s” intent felt invasive, controlling, or benevolent. As important are the timing and rhythm of the interaction. To recognize when the “lesson” popped up, how long it stayed active, how it affected you emotionally, and then how it moved you into the next moment are touchstones that you can refer back to for guidance.

To be a conscious Trickster is not about having a plan of action and a lesson to deliver. It is not about the particulars. It is all about recognizing the moment, being within it in relation to the others involved, and then allowing the lesson to come through you.

And why not? Why not allow this to be a part of your tool kit as a healer? You’re going to end up doing it anyway, so you may as well enjoy it! The most potent Tricksters pull the rug out from under you but catch you in a bucket of down-filled pillows. It can be as simple as incorporating a sense of irony or play into the work you do and sharing that part of yourself, for the good of all.

Maybe you are not familiar with Reiki, don’t worry, you are not alone.

To start with, Reiki is associated with natural holistic healing or a healing where pharmaceutical drugs and medical surgeries are just an alternative in case the system of holistic healing fails.

Reiki is an early form of energy healing in which a participant serves as a channel for Universal Life Force. The Reiki participant opens himself/herself as a channel for an energy that comes from a higher source to aid healing or correct a person’s aura. This is believed to be beneficial for the body, mind, and soul or the Indian system called chakra.

Reiki got its principle from the thought that the universe has an energy that gives form, structure, and health. This force is also called Chi by the Chinese martial artists. It is said to be capable of healing anything because its energy comes from the basic fundamental levels of reality.

It also teaches that the energy flows are affected by the thoughts of a Reiki practitioner. For instance, if he/she thinks of negative things, this will manifest diseases and unfortunate events. If he/she thinks the other way around, good health and fortune will come. These are facilitated to help the patients believe whatever positive thoughts they have in their minds.

To have an idea of how the healing process is conducted, here is an example: usually, the healer performs some hand rituals and eventually places it over a sick person. Then he will perform some massage from mid hair, and he will make some scooping actions like he is smoothing a bedspread. This movement is intent to correct the person’s aura. There are other Reiki masters that just place their hands directly to the patient and keeping it there as long as necessary.

They are also capable of healing from a distance, or also called Reiki remote healing. The healer will just ask for an object that will represent the ill person and they will treat that said object just like he is treating the person. They are also capable of healing and blessing objects such as cars and computers.

Reiki is definitely a different healing process compared with others. It is up to you if you will believe in their methods.

Yes, this is a sign that you are becoming very sensitive to energy and your awareness is turned inwards, to your feelings.

The more you put your attention on these subtle energies, the more they will grow and the more conscious you will become.

If you would like to have a go at healing, I suggest you start with your partner, or a willing friend. What I would suggest is, just have them sit in a chair and rest your hands on their shoulders. Both of you close your eyes and bring your awareness to what is happening in the energies.

Then after a minute or two move the hands so the palms of the hands cover the ears on each side of the head. Again, hold for about a minute, or two or three, until the time feels right to move on.

Then put the right hand on the forehead so the palm covers the third eye and the left hand on the back, at the base of the skull; again feel what is happening in the energies.

Move the hands down so the thumb and forefinger of the right hand rest on the collarbones, each side of the throat, on the front and the left hand rests on the back at shoulder level. Again, hold a while.

Move the hands back to the shoulder each side of the head standing behind the person and hold again; be aware of how you are feeling and the tone of the vibration within. Pay attention to the silence in the room and your breathing.

Move the hands to 2 inches/50 mm away from each ear and feel the energy connection to the person you are working on. After a minute or so move the hands closer and farther away from the person’s head. This is basically working in the aura.

After a while, say three minutes, gently move the hands out to about 1 ft/300mm away and waddle the fingers to release the energy and move away from the person. Rest for a couple of minutes more before opening the eyes.

It is a good idea while doing the healing to visualise roots growing out of your feet and grounding your energy field, so that any stale energy that may have been released, can go down the roots into the Earth for reprocessing.

Please think about what you felt and experienced. I am sure you will become very aware of the feeling especially if you work on a few different people. You may notice that each person has a unique vibration. The sensations when you work may change.

As you grow in confidence and experience, you will become much more aware of the subtle energies which permeate and surround the human body.
