What is REIKI?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The work Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So, Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relive side effects and promote recovery.

CHAKRAS

Surrounding and permeating everything in the universe is an ever-changing sea of energy. Our bodies are like sponges for this force, which our personal energy fields – or auras – absorb through energy centers called chakras.

Awareness of the chakras dawned long before the New Age. They have been an integral part of yoga philosophy in India for millennia.

In the Indian language Sanskrit, the word "chakra" (correctly pronounced chock-ruh but commonly called shock-ruh) means “wheel.” That’s how chakras look to those sensitively gifted enough to see them - like spinning wheels of colored light.

Also said to resemble whirlpools, our seven major chakras appear as different colors of the rainbow spectrum. Positioned along the spinal column, the major chakras form the backbone of the network through which the mind, body and spirit act as one holistic system.

Reiki and the Chakras

The standard hand placements of Reiki healing target the seven major chakras, which are often rendered dysfunctional and discolored – even completely closed – by problems of the mind, body or spirit. Keeping these gateways properly functioning is vitally important to our health, because disruptions in energy flow lead to illness.

Reiki treatments clear the chakras of negative energy and blockages, restoring the harmonious flow of life-force energy.

Energy flows both into and out of the aura through the chakras. The aura – the colorful, luminous body of energy enveloping and pervading each of us – is composed of at least seven layers, each of which deals with different aspects of our being (physical, mental, emotional or spiritual). The major chakras extend cone-like from the core of the spine through all of these layers.

The seven major chakras are associated with specific aspects of our consciousness. Here are their chief characteristics and functions:

1. Root chakra (associated color: red; related parts of the body: adrenal glands, kidneys, spinal column, leg bones)

The root chakra grounds us in physical existence (our bodies and the material world). Balanced root chakras result in a healthy desire for the basics of life (food, warmth, shelter, etc.) When this chakra is imbalanced, we may be afraid of life, withdraw from physical reality, feel victimized, operate in a highly selfish mode, or be prone to violence. Dysfunction of this chakra also can lead to problems of the feet, legs and lower back.

2. Sacral chakra (associated color: orange; related parts of the body: gonads, prostrate gland, reproductive system, spleen, bladder)

When properly functioning, this chakra fuels our emotions, creativity and sexuality. We feel vital and spontaneous, ready to seize the moment. Imbalance of this chakra can result in over-indulgence in sex or food, sexual or reproductive disorders, and feelings of jealousy and confusion.

3. Solar plexus chakra (associated color: yellow; related parts of the body: pancreas, liver, digestive tract, stomach, spleen, gall bladder, autonomic nervous system)

Strongly associated with intellect, the solar plexus chakra is also the seat of our personal power. When this chakra is open and balanced, its energy helps us transform our hopes and aspirations (especially material ones) into reality. We feel self-confident and have a clear sense of purpose. Dysfunction of this chakra can result in insecurity about physical and financial matters and the need to dominate others. Physical problems associated with its imbalance often include digestive disorders.

4. Heart chakra (associated color: green (secondary color: pink); related parts of the body: thymus gland, heart, lower lungs, circulatory system, skin, hands)

Acting as the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, the heart chakra is the center of love and emotional well being. When this chakra is functioning optimally, our ability to give and receive unconditional love is well developed. We are compassionate. Dysfunction of this chakra often results in feelings of sadness, fear and anger and can lead to heart disease.

5. Throat chakra (associated color: sky blue; related parts of the body: thyroid gland, throat and jaw areas, lungs, vocal cords, digestive tract)

The throat chakra governs communication and mental creativity. When this chakra is at its best, we speak and listen in the spirit of truth and constructively express anger and other emotions. Energizing this chakra can improve our psychic hearing ability called clairaudience. Naturally, communication suffers when this chakra is blocked. We may overindulge in eating and drinking to keep a non-communicative throat busy and suffer from respiratory diseases, dental disorders, and low self-esteem. Feelings of anger, hostility and resentment also are associated with the imbalance of this chakra.

6. Third-eye chakra (associated color: indigo; related parts of the body: pituitary gland, lower brain, left eye, ears, nose, central nervous system)

An open third-eye chakra is the source of our intuition and clairvoyance (vision beyond ordinary sight) as well as our ability to visualize and manifest. Blockages of this chakra abound, resulting in fear of the imagination, dreams and our "irrational" intuitive insights. Physical symptoms of third-eye imbalance may include persistent headaches (especially in the center of the forehead), insomnia, anxiety and depression.

7. Crown chakra (associated color: violet (also white); related parts of the body: pineal gland, upper brain, right eye)

The crown chakra is our direct connection to spirit. When it is highly developed, we fully understand the "oneness" of universal existence and experience true inner peace. The illusion of separation between ourselves and other beings dissolves. Expansion of the crown chakra enables us to tap into the highest sources of spiritual wisdom and enhance our claircognizance (psychic knowing). Blockages can result in feeling lonely, fearing death, and needing to compare ourselves (often unfavorably) to others
