Chakra Balancing with Reiki

We’re like fish in the ocean looking for water. Now scientists are finally catching up with our ancestors and realizing that everything behaves like electricity because everything is energy.  Chi, prana, ki, the life-force, electricity are all around- “Energy”.

Chakras are made of energy – and they are responsible for directing the flow of energy through your body. Your Chakras may be open, spinning, flowing or be dense and blocked; depending on your mental state or your thoughts and your spiritual state at any given time.

While you cannot actually see the Chakras, they are an important part of every human being and they are vital to your physical, mental and spiritual well being.  They are located along a line running from the top of the head to the base of the spine and each energy center is associated with a different part of the body.

Every thought, feeling and your senses are integrated with a different Chakra. When you are experiencing stress, your Chakras can become out of balance, which can lead to physical illness.

When your Chakras are working at the correct frequency, then mind, body and spirit can work together harmoniously.

To regain or maintain health, Chakra balancing with Reiki is something to be practiced periodically.

I received this question last week along with others that surround the issue of chakra balancing….

Q… What do I do in order to open up my chakras???

A…Regardless of what you may have heard…your chakras are NEVER closed or not working - it’s an absolute impossibility! They are always open - without these powerful energy centers, your physical body couldn’t be here. Energy responds to the focus of your thoughts and intention; by focusing your intention using meditation and Reiki, you start to move or shift your energy and affect the energy surrounding you.

Your thoughts create everything in your reality and in your life, so as soon as you ‘even think’ you might think of energizing your chakras- it has begun…You then concentrate your thoughts and intentions by using Reiki, which enhances your point of focus to create an energetic response; hence, flow of energy.

So how do you go about ‘opening up your chakras’ (or more correctly speaking - expanding and energizing them)?

The major Chakras have their own area of responsibility and each is linked with a different part of the endocrine system. They are part and parcel of each and every sensation, thought, feeling and emotional experience that we have.

Stress and fearful emotions can imbalance you’re Chakras – you can see this in the form of dis-ease or physical illness; like I have mentioned, illness is often a sign that your Chakras are out of balance.   In order to keep your Chakras flowing at peak efficiency, they need to be working together as a team. Think of Chakra Balancing as a sort of tune up for the human body and soul.

While there are a lot of different ways to balance your Chakras, Reiki has been shown time and time again to be one of the most effective methods of all.  A simple practice and very effective way to incorporate Reiki for your everyday use is to sit quietly… Draw out all the Reiki symbols over your palms, and choose a Reiki symbol that suits the occasion. The power symbol works well for energizing you but the mental and emotional one would be great to calm you after an emotional upset.

If you are not yet trained in Reiki or you are new to this modality please see The Secret Of Reiki Home Study Course for direction and guidance.

Starting at your crown chakra draw out the symbol, choose a suitable affirmation of your own and Reiki over each of your major chakras.  Then draw out one large power symbol in the front of you and seal the process with divine love and wisdom.  Sit with your hands placed comfortably on you (anywhere that feels right at the time) and simply let the Reiki energy fill and refresh you.  Feel free to incorporate any rituals that feel right to you in your Reiki Practice.  And remember to breathe, deep breaths!

In order to keep your Chakras working at peak efficiency, they need to be working together as a team. Think of Chakra Balancing as a sort of tune up for your body and your spiritual being.
