Reiki A Healing Energy

Reiki is a natural and simple method in which energy healing is used to balance the bodies Chi. Hawayo Takata brought Reiki to the United States in the 1940’s. Since then, Reiki has grown in popularity for people who use the healing as an alternative to Western medicine, complementary, or adjunctive treatment to medical protocol. Reiki is non-intrusive and can be done anywhere at any time. Studies of the benefits of Reiki have shown individuals to have reduced stress, anxiety, pain, healing on physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual levels.

There are seven specific energy centers on the body: Root Chakra, Sacral Plexus Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Brow Chakra (Third Eye), and Crown Chakra. Each of these energy centers needs to be in balance for the body to heal itself. The Root Chakra is our connection to the earth, where we ground ourselves like the roots of a tree, growing deep into the earth and becoming stronger as we penetrate. This is the point where we let go of our past, not allowing ourselves to be held back by past experiences, instead we look to the future and all that it has to offer. The Sacral Plexus is where one will find their creative energy, those images and ideas that pop up out of nowhere. It is up to you what you will do with those images/ideas, will you use them to grow in your life or will you ignore them? The Solar Plexus is where our emotions lie, personal power, and will. One must look inwards and listen to what we feel, doing so will lead one on their path to fulfillment in life. The Heart Chakra is where we find love, healing, and openness to life. When one looks deep into their heart, they can look in the mirror an feel love for themselves. Loving oneself, means letting go of the negative voice that devilishly silently talks to us, telling us we are nonexistent. This is an untruth and when one loves themselves, the heart beats with joy for life. The Throat Chakra involves our communication through our voice, social media, phone, and emotions. This is where one speaks their truth in a respectful and compassionate manner. Allowing one’s opinion to be heard even if it is not in alignment with the others. The Brow Chakra (Third Eye) is where the power of one’s mind and self-awareness is developed. Thoughts can now be brought to fruition in a sensible manner. The final Chakra, the Crown is where all of our experiences are combined, physically, mentally, and spiritually. We see and feel the true meaning of life, the lens has been cleared and the light is shining brighter than it ever has. We no longer allow our minds to be filled with negative thoughts. No need to follow the path that was not yours, but another’s. One can look at themselves and feel a sense of warmth, peace, and wholeness.
