Understanding the connection ......
Chakra simply means : an energy center, like a spiritual organ that distributes energy through the body/system of a person or animal. The earth and plants have these centers too.
Your chakras distribute your energy to the different layers or "bodies" that are YOU.
You not only have a physical body, but an ethereal, astral, mental, and spiritual one too. Lets talk about the ethereal body, which looks something like a web of energy surrounding your physical body. This is where pain actually occurs first.
When you feel pain, or hurt, or emotional upset, you think you feel it in your physical body...but its actually happened in your ethereal body and is "expressed' in your physical body. I know...you are saying WHAT??
Here is an example; think about the amputation of a limb...and the pain that seems to remain in that area, or limb even though the actual limb is no longer there. That pain or " phantom" feeling is coming from the ethereal body.
Even though the physical body can lose parts, become deformed and scared, your "energy" body or ethereal body remains whole. That is where continued pain or discomfort can still be felt. The use of energy work helps to remove that continued discomfort.
The only change that can happen to the ethereal or energy body is the constriction or blockage of its energy flow through the energy centers. This is how we end up with aliments and dis-ease in our physical body. These energy centers are called our Chakras. There are 7 main ones, and then there are additional smaller ones throughout our body as well as some above and below our physical body.
When one of these centers becomes clogged, or congested or constricted, an imbalance occurs. Just like any other organ in your body, the chakra does not stand alone! Each is affected by what is closest to it whether its above it or below it. So if there is any sort of overflow, whether too much energy or not enough, the other chakra closest to it can be affected too.
Your energy runs up and down you, as well as in and out of you. As it goes up and down, it passes through your chakras, and it also passes horizontally through you. Your "energy" body takes in and releases out energy just like your physical body takes in food and releases it out. That means with every encounter you have, EVERY encounter, you give and receive energy!! Personal relationships, business relationships, friendships, the clerk, the person next to you in line....get the drift?
That is why it is so important to keep your energy balanced!
Reiki is a wonderful form of harmonizing your energy, bringing back into balance any imbalance trying to prevent any "imbalnce-causing" illness from occurring. It softens the blockage, allowing for the flow of energy to become stronger again and for re-balancing to happen. BUT, and it is important that you understand this, neither Reiki nor the practitioner can "cure"you. Yes that' right! What I am going to say next is very important, so please read it carefully! While I can help you, I can not do it for you!!
YOU play an important role here as well! The habits you have been practicing need to change.
When something is practiced alot, it becomes stronger. Yes?....Yes ! Any "muscle" that is practiced becomes strong! That means any habit becomes strong too. Your not so good habits have caused your energy flow to slow or become constricted, and that is what your energy centers then support! Plain and simple.
Lets look at skin for a comparison...
As a dermatologist can improve your skin by peeling away dead or damaged layers, but if you insist on laying out in the sun without proper protection, what good is it going to do? Not much right?!
As a Reiki Practitioner I can do that same "peeling away/loosening up" with your energy layer/centers. BUT, and a BIG BUT here, if you are not going to change your habits, the ones that have caused this clogging to begin with, it is not going to help you long term. While I can provide some movement, it will just clog again and that is not going to help you very much! That is what I mean by " I can't do it for you".
Through energy work such as Reiki , these constricted energies can be opened back up and flow with ease again. Reiki is an incredible way to help you to have better clarity, a fresher clearer mind and a relaxed body. Reiki is not however a magic wand, YOU have to put in the effort if you truly want to succeed.
