Chakras

With any energy based healing, it is important to develop a basic understanding about our Chakras in relation to Reiki!
The Sanskrit word 'Chakra'  literally translates to wheel or disk.  In yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the mind-body system.  To visualize a Chakra in your body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy that keeps you vibrant, healthy, and alive.

Since everything in the mind-body energy system is moving, it is essential that your seven main Chakras stay open, aligned and fluid.  If there’s a blockage, energy cannot flow.  These blockages can develop from issues relating to your past or present connected to your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual bodies.  As this blocked energy builds and becomes more congested it can manifest in disease or illness within your mind, body and spirit.

There are seven main energy centers, or chakras, that run vertically up your spine and have the ability to empower you bringing health and vitality.  Take a look at each one and how it can help bring balance into your life when its clear and flowing.  If you'd like to learn more about how your energy centres are interconnected, the power they hold, the impact they have on your overall well being then consider exploring Level 1 Reiki to open to the doorway to greater healing and freedom.
