Chakras 

Chakras are a very important aspect of our mind, body, and spirit. When thinking of the word chakra, a lot of people will think about some kind of alternative thinking, sparkling lights, different colors, or even random symbols. At times, things are just on the surface and there is no meaning behind what they see. Due to the increased commercialization of yoga and yogic practices, chakras have become a mainstream image of the practice. They are on pants, mats, covers, and more! 

In reality, chakras are not things that can simply be explained away as yoga or pictures. The word chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. They are a spinning wheel of energy, much like meridian points in Chinese medicine and Marma points in Ayurveda, they are areas of the body and even extensions out of the body, that allow the proper flow of energy. They help to keep us balanced, clear minded, calm, at peace, healthy, and physically functional. When they are out of balance, things like mental issues, health issues, and body pains can occur. From a scientific perspective, they can be described as balls of energy within the body that transfer energy, just as any energy source. Due to their nature, they need to stay cleansed, or balanced, in order for people to maintain functionality overall. This can be done through several practices, but would be best to start with the root (lowest main chakra) and work up. There are seven main chakras that follow the spine, starting at the base and going all the way to the crown or slightly above top of the skull. They are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, 3rd eye, and crown. There are also subcharkas that extend beyond the crown and root. These chakras will need to be cleared and focused to spin properly. 

Sanskrit:

Root ~ Muladhara

Sacral~ Svadhishthana

Solar plexus ~ Manipura

Heart ~ Anahata

Throat ~ Vishuddha

Third eye ~ Ajna

Crown ~ Sahasrara

*the colors for the upper chakras can vary*

What is Reiki?

What is Reiki?

The dictionary definition states:

rei·ki
/ˈrākē/

noun
1. a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

What it has left out is the fact that there’s no need for physical touch. In all actuality, when having a face to face reiki session, the hands hover over the body rather than touch. It may feel as though the Reiki practitioner or Reiki master is touching because the client is feeling the pressure of the light energy flowing through them to remove the ailments. Due to the work of light energy, distance healing is capable. 

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. We all learned this law and have put it into the back of our minds, not realizing it is something very useful. Imagine an empty vessel filled with darkness. This will represent the alimentary or negative energy. Now, picture a person who is filled with light. As they transfer light into the empty vessel, the darkness decreases and is put back into the Earth. This process occurs until the darkness is replaced by light. 

Reiki is a sacred practice, a mindful practice, an energetic practice, and is beautiful!
