Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as energy healing. It emerged in Japan in the late 1800’s and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to their patient.

Reiki is a holistic practice that aims to promote healing on all levels of a person’s being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The practice involves the use of hands-on healing techniques to channel universal life force energy to the recipient, with the goal of promoting balance and harmony within the body and mind.

One of the key concepts in Reiki is the idea of chakras, which are believed to be energy centers located throughout the body. Each chakra is associated with a different part of the body and has a unique set of characteristics and qualities that correspond to different aspects of a person’s life, such as creativity, communication, and intuition.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner will work to channel energy into the recipient’s body, with the intention of balancing and clearing any blockages in the chakras. By doing so, the practitioner can help to restore balance and harmony to the body and mind, and promote overall health and well-being.

The connection between Reiki and the chakras is rooted in the belief that the flow of energy through the chakras is essential to maintaining optimal health and well-being. When the chakras become blocked or out of balance, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances in the body.

By promoting the flow of energy through the chakras, Reiki can help to restore balance and harmony to the body and mind, and help individuals to feel more grounded, centered, and connected to their spiritual selves. In this way, Reiki can be viewed as a holistic practice that addresses the whole person, rather than just their physical symptoms.
