What is Reiki?

It is easy to just refer to it as a form of energy healing. As a matter of fact, when I first began working that is how I described it. My journey taught me that Reiki is a lot more than just a simple system of energy healing. It is in fact one very powerful tool to assist an individual on their personal journey of healing and spiritual growth on a conscious and subconscious level.

By the act of "laying on hands" the Reiki practitioner can become a conduit for energy to flow through in order to assist in clearing up blockages and help energy flow through he Chakras.

What are Chakras?

There are seven major energy centers. These energy centers reside in the astral body. When an energy center becomes blocked in can cause illness or dis-ease in the physical body. When these blockages are clear and individual can experience peace of mind and feel free to find deeper healing leading to an internal and eternal peace.

Chakra 7 - The Crown represents the connection to The Self, your higher essence (natural essence).

Chakra 6- The First Eye represents the ability to see beyond the illusion of your own identity and all that is around you. This is the ability to know that everything is from the same essence.

Chakra 5- The Throat represents the ability to have self-control over your actions and your thoughts and the ability to speak the truth through your words and actions.

Chakra 4- The Heart represents the ability to show love to all. The ability to understand that none of us is greater than the other and that each one of use should be treated with the same love and respect. This is the ability to be selfless.

Chakra 3- The Solar Plexus, when uncontrolled, can cause a person to be abusive even to themselves. Controlled, it can give a person a greater understanding in their own duty to be of service to others.

Chakra 2 - The Sacral Plexus, if not controlled, can cause a person to be very free with their sexual energy and create negative conditions in their own life. Once controlled a person can develop that powerful sexual energy to spiritual energy and open up a creative force that brings about positive thoughts, creativity, and actions.

Chakra 1 - The Root is the connection to the earth and grounds us to nature. Uncontrolled, a person has a great deal of fear and anxiety. However, when controlled an individual can connect with nature and gain a deeper understanding that everything they will ever need in life has already been given to them by the Divine energy that controls Creation.
