Balancing Chakras With Reiki
Chakras Wheels Of Life

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex .

The chakras are an integral part of the body’s energy system and they are transformers of subtle energy .

They take the life force (KiPranaChi) that is around us and transform it into the various frequencies our subtle energy system needs to keep us healthy. They also act as exit points for unwanted energy.

It is generally agreed that there are seven major chakras in the human body and there are also more than twenty minor chakras.

Chakras store the energy of thoughts, feelings, memories, experiences, and actions. Prana informs us, and influences our actions and behaviours, determining our health, career opportunities, relationships, and more. The subtle body depicts how our inner reality creates our outer reality.

Chakra Balancing

Chakra healing is the intentional practice of connecting with our stored energy, so we may understand how our past is influencing the present and the future.

Reiki is a Japanese technique that helps releasing tension, stress and promotes healing. It is a type of energy healing which targets the energy fields around the body. However Reiki is more than this: it is a spiritual practice that helps towards personal fulfilment, whose principles and philosophy can explain and achieve better life-balance and well-being ; enable the furthering of self-development and discovery, as well as being a remarkable healing and recovery treatment .

Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.

Reiki can be given as a hands on’ treatment or at distance. Reiki treatment raises the vibrational frequency of the recipient and clears blockages that disrupt the energy flow, allowing healing to begin at a cellular level. The energy supply is limitless and flows through the receiver to wherever is needed. Reiki is always positive and beneficial.

An important aspect of Reiki is a commitment to ones own health. The recipient should accept, indeed embrace his/her responsibility for his/her own well-being. Reiki will always provide support in actively promoting health and general improvement.

The Chakra Balancing is a good way to start a Reiki treatment as it harmonises the whole system.  It can also be given as a mini-treatment on its own.

It can take five or ten minutes or as long as you like.

One of the best time to do chakra healing is the moment you wake up.

The important factor is be consistent in your practice of Reiki. Some days if you have less time you can do chakra healing in 10 minutes. And sometimes we have more time you can take as long as 30 to 40 minutes.
