Reiki Energy Healing

The word Reiki is made by two Japanese words:

Rei: which means The Higher Intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the universe.

Ki: Is known as the non-physical energy that animates all living things and that it's flowing in everything that is alive including plants, animals and humans.

1. Root chakra: Which is associated color: red; related parts of the body: adrenal glands, kidneys, spinal column, leg bones,grounds us in physical existence (our bodies and the material world).

To balance root chakras results in a healthy desire for the basics of life (food, warmth, shelter, etc.) When the root chakra is imbalanced, we may withdraw from physical reality, feel victimized, operate in a highly selfish mode, or be prone to violence.

Also dysfunction of this chakra can lead to problems of the feet, legs and lower back.

2. Sacral chakra is associated with color: orange; related parts of the body: gonads, prostrate gland, reproductive system, spleen, bladder and when properly functioning, this chakra fuels our emotions, creativity and sexuality.

We may feel vital and spontaneous, ready to seize the moment. Imbalance of this chakra will result in over-indulgence in sex or food, sexual or reproductive disorders, and feelings of jealousy and confusion.

3. Solar plexus chakra which is associated color: yellow; related parts of the body: pancreas, liver, digestive tract, stomach, spleen, gall bladder, autonomic nervous system,is also 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 may feel self-confident and have a clear sense of purpose. The 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 is associated color: green (secondary color: pink); related parts of the body: thymus gland, heart, lower lungs, circulatory system, skin, handsand it's 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. When it is dysfunctional it will often results in feelings of sadness, fear and anger and can lead to heart disease.

5. Throat chakra is associated with color: sky blue; related parts of the body: thyroid gland, throat and jaw areas, lungs, vocal cords, digestive tract and it 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 which is associated with the color: indigo; related parts of the body: pituitary gland, lower brain, left eye, ears, nose, central nervous system, 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 it's associated with the color: violet (also white); related parts of the body: pineal gland, upper brain, right eye)and it's 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.
