Our physical bodies are alive with the life force energy of the universe. We have chakras which act like valves that allow the life force to circulate. We also have meridians and nadas which are like streams and rivers which assist in balancing the body’s functions. If the life force is high and free flowing we can more easily maintain our health. Stress can block our energy system and the body’s ability to repair itself. Reiki opens blocked meridians, nadas and chakras restoring balance and vitality to the body.

The human energy system must be healthy for us to be at our best. Eastern Medicine often sees disease as an out of balance energy system. Traditional Chinese medicine mapped energy pathways and inserted tiny needles to unblock and balance the flow of energy. In India yoga opens blocked and closed chakras. In China our internal energy is call Chi, Prana in India and Ki in Japan. Acupuncture, Yoga, Chi-Gong and Reiki all work to unblock and balance our energy system.

There are seven major chakras which receive store and transmit energy. These energy centers collect subtle energy, transform it, and supply it to the body. Each chakra is associated with parts of the body and glands of the endocrine system.The endocrine system regulates homone balance and metabolism. Chakras also correspond to major areas of our lives and each one has a dominant color.
