Reiki Chakra Balance - Is It For You?

By Julie O'Mahonney

Reiki Chakra Balance refers to an act of healing or attainment of healthy physical and mental conditions through transmission of positive energy through the technique of Reiki in order to align or balance the energy centers in a man's body. The word chakra, having its roots in the ancient Sanskrit word 'chakram' of Hinduism meaning sphere, refers to the seven energy spheres or centers in a human body placed vertically from the crown of the head to the base of the spine.

The seven body Chakras are namely the Base, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third eye and Crown of the Head Chakras which are point of energy reception and transmission in a human body. Thus, any blockage or misdirection in the energy flow causes physical and emotional ill health in man. Reiki Chakra Balance works towards avoiding and correcting such problems so that the energy can flow freely for attaining that ultimate physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing of man.

There exists various ways in which the chakras can be balanced namely meditation, acupuncture, sound therapy, etc but the most effective is the Reiki Chakra Balancing which involves Palm healing. In other words, the Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit who transmits positive energy from the infinite source of the cosmos, through his hands to the chakra positions of an individual.

The process of Reiki Chakra balancing usually starts with the practitioner attaining a meditative state of mind and the healee lying down in a calm and relaxed way wearing loose clothing for being comfortable. Remember that more the comfort level of the healee, more open he will be and thereby more effective will be the process of energy transmission.

Since Reiki Chakra Balancing is all about palm healing, different hand positions exist depending upon the chakra locations for maximum healing effect. Usually it involves placing the palm flatly against the chakra location or a diseased body part that needs to be healed but hand techniques such as tapping, stroking, etc along with blowing or gazing is used. Mainly targeted around the head and neck area, other spots include front and back of the torso, knees and feet. In case the healee is not aware of his health issue, many a times the process starts with the practitioner scrutinizing the person's aura, or the energy field emanating from the seven chakras to identify the problem areas of energy blockage.

Starting from energizing physically with the warmth of the practitioner's palms, to using Reiki symbols to provide heightened intervention in diseased spots, Reiki Chakra Balancing is performed in various levels. The healee senses a tingling sensation in the area targeted and mystical Reiki symbols are drawn and concentrated upon for transmitting energy and balancing the chakra where a serious injury or disease has occurred. One can also heal by placing his palms on the affected areas for varied lengths of time and this is known as localized treatment.

Thus, it can be seen from the discussion above that Reiki Chakra Balancing involves the use of hands or palms in particular to channelize energy to those chakras where it is required so as to improve the physical and emotional condition of the healee.

Always remember that a proactive approach is always better and more effective than the reactive one. Thus, not waiting for a disease to happen, if you proactively involve yourself in Reiki Chakra Balancing then you would experience smooth energy flow and thereby attain the maximum physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
