Reiki is an Energy Healing Modality that originated in Japan in a seminary. Students of Christianity wanted to learn how Jesus performed miracles instead of just learning the stories. Reiki is the channeling of Universal Light energy. Through the hands of a trained Reiki practitioner, that energy is directed to wherever it needs to go in order for healing to take place. Reiki is very relaxing and feels like an internal body massage when received. 

​

But...what is actually happening is healing on the energetic level. What is being “healed” are the Chakras and The Aura. The Chakras are the 7 energy centers within the body, and through the different energies of the Chakras, we are able to tap into the higher qualities of our being. They each represent something different and are correlated with a different color. Scientifically speaking, color and light are inseparable, and using the Universal Light to bring the chakra back into its color frequency is how energy healing works.

 

We also use the breath along with Reiki to keep the energy flowing in a circular motion throughout our entire being. This flow of energy is what keeps the chakras spinning, and balanced, thus keeping you balanced on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. The Aura is the energy existing around the body, and the Chakras and Aura work together. The Chakras receive the health of our environment and are affected by anything at their particular vibratory level. Our environment includes anything we eat, drink, think, watch, say, people we surround ourselves with, etc. Throughout life, we are exposed to many different environmental factors (including traumas, cultural conditioning, etc.,) and sometimes this can create dense/stuck energy within our Chakras. That dense or stuck energy, if not addressed, can affect the life force energy flow and our energy can become blocked. We start to live a limited experience of life, not able to access the higher qualities of our being.
