\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spiritually, you are overwhelmed with your life’s path\u00a0 and want to run away to another time.\u00a0 You do not want to live your life the way it is now because you lost your sense of belonging.\u00a0 With memory loss, you escaped your roots, your place in your society, and your heritage.<\/p>\n

I read somewhere that from one third to one half of people over eighty suffer with this dread disease.\u00a0 I believe these numbers may be overstated.\u00a0 Health professionals write about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with much less certainty than they give their words to heart disease and diabetes.<\/p>\n

My experience with Alzheimer’s Disease insists that I share this:\u00a0 much that is written may not apply to your loved one’s situation, no matter the circumstances.<\/p>\n

Professionals believe Alzheimer’s has genetic, lifestyle, and environmental causes.\u00a0 Alzheimer’s develops slowly, over time.\u00a0 The same things that put you at risk for heart disease also put you at risk for this disease:\u00a0 sedentary lifestyle, smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol scores.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer’s patients have trouble thinking, speaking, reasoning, and writing.\u00a0 The personality changes over time. \u00a0 Disorientation is common and personality changes are to be expected.\u00a0 One early warning behavior includes asking the same question over and over and over.\u00a0 A second behavior is forgetting to do familiar things.\u00a0 Finally, misplacing things and finding them in unusual places is a red flag.<\/p>\n

Do you practice Reiki therapy, reflexology, or chakra healing?\u00a0 Offering sessions of these modalities can be one of the most significant things you will ever do for an Alzheimer’s patient.\u00a0 Your sessions are a way to spiritually communicate and connect with a person when words no longer work.<\/p>\n

Are you a Reiki Master Teacher?\u00a0 Teaching Reiki to a caregiver can be an important gift for both the caregiver and patient.\u00a0 Other people living in the household can be attuned to Reiki.\u00a0 This includes the pets and children.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer’s Disease is a thief of a disease.\u00a0 For starters, Alzheimer’s steals your brain.\u00a0 Then, it steals your body.\u00a0 Finally, it steals every penny in your bank and savings accounts.<\/p>\n

CHAKRA:<\/p>\n

Alzheimer’s is a seventh chakra imbalance.<\/p>\n

SUGGESTED HEALING SYSTEMS:<\/p>\n

Begin with Conventional medicine, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, and Herbalism.\u00a0 Supplement your allopathic medicine with complementary and alternative medicine techniques wherever possible.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer’s Disease\u00a0 responds well to complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine techniques.\u00a0 For now, no treatment can stop the disease.\u00a0 The goal is to slow symptoms and offer whatever relief you can.<\/p>\n

REFLEXOLOGY SYSTEMS TO WORK:<\/p>\n

endocrine system, skeletal system, lymphatics, intestinal system, liver, solar plexus<\/p>\n

ESSENTIAL OILS:<\/p>\n

cedarwood, eucalyptus, frankincense, German chamomile, ginger, myrrh, nutmeg, patchouli, sandalwood, spikenard.<\/p>\n

ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY HELP:<\/p>\n

Regular exercise along with reflexology will improve your mood and maintain your health.\u00a0 You’ll sleep better and have fewer constipation problems.<\/p>\n

Good nutrition is important.<\/p>\n

A calm and stable environment helps.<\/p>\n

Keep your schedule regulated.<\/p>\n

EMOTIONS EXPERIENCED BY ALZHEIMER’S PATIENTS:<\/p>\n

Anger, confusion, depression, fear, frustration, and fear are common.\u00a0 Anxiety is experienced when noise, being rushed, complicated tasks, or crowds happen.<\/p>\n

ACTIVITIES TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE:<\/p>\n

Mentally and socially stimulating activities can reduce your risk.\u00a0 Preventive steps include keeping physically and mentally active.<\/p>\n

One of the most important things you can do is keep your heart strong.\u00a0 That means you should keep your blood pressure levels normal.\u00a0 Keep your cholesterol numbers, your weight, and type 2 diabetes numbers in the normal range.<\/p>\n

Physical fitness can’t be over emphasized.\u00a0 Take a weekly exercise class.\u00a0 Power walking, swimming, running, regular gym workouts help.<\/p>\n

Keep your job as long as you can.\u00a0 If you’re tired of the job you have, get another one.\u00a0 Whatever you do, never quit working.<\/p>\n

Keep yourself socially connected to your community.\u00a0 A rich social life is important.\u00a0 Don’t let yourself be lonely.<\/p>\n

Take continuing education classes.\u00a0 Learn crochet, carpentry, knitting, musical instruments, paintings, reading, sculpture, quilting.\u00a0 Challenge your mind.<\/p>\n

Regular massage, reflexology, Reiki therapy sessions are beneficial.\u00a0 Surf the internet.\u00a0 Get organized.\u00a0 Care for others.<\/p>\n

A good night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do to keep Alzheimer’s out of your life.<\/p>\n

Don’t let yourself get depressed.<\/p>\n

A hint:\u00a0 Do all of these things before you experience symptoms.\u00a0 You are fighting Alzheimer’s for years before you have symptoms.<\/p>\n

RISK FACTORS:<\/p>\n

Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, stress<\/p>\n

IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW SUFFERING WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE?<\/p>\n

One of the most significant things you will ever do for an Alzheimer’s patient is offer reflexology, Reiki therapy and chakra healing sessions to that patient.\u00a0 Your sessions are a truly spiritual way to communicate and connect with a person when words no longer work.<\/p>\n

DO YOU KNOW A REIKI MASTER TEACHER?\u00a0 ARE YOU A REIKI MASTER TEACHER:<\/p>\n

Teaching Reiki to a person caring for an Alzheimer’s patient can be an important gift for the caregiver and patient both.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n
