What Is Reiki Chakra Balance?

By Julie O'Mahonney

Reiki Chakra Balance refers to an act of healing or attainment of healthy physical and mental conditions through transmission of positive energy through the technique of Reiki in order to align or balance the energy centers in a man's body. The word chakra, having its roots in the ancient Sanskrit word 'chakram' of Hinduism meaning sphere, refers to the seven energy spheres or centers in a human body placed vertically from the crown of the head to the base of the spine.

Chakra balancing is all about realizing that a person's physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing depends on the energy reception and transmission from these chakras. Thus, any misdirection or blockage thereof, is the sole cause behind all the physical illnesses that man suffers from. The Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown of the Head Chakras are the seven body chakras which can be said to be the force points of our entire energy system, our full life force in its entirety. Thus, it is extremely crucial to keep these energy meridians balanced and in equilibrium so that the flow of energy is not hampered.

There exists various ways in which the chakras can be balanced namely meditation, acupuncture, sound therapy, etc but the most effective is the Reiki Chakra Balancing which involves Palm healing. In other words, the Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit who transmits positive energy from the infinite source of the cosmos, through his hands to the chakra positions of an individual.

In Reiki Chakra Balancing, the process starts with the Reiki practitioner undertaking basic meditation to calm and focus himself in order to come to the required mental state. Thereafter the healee is laid down in loose clothing so that he is comfortable. Remember that being comfortable and relaxed is highly important since the more the healee opens up, more effective the energy transmission will be.

Many a times Reiki Chakra Balancing starts with the Reiki practitioner scrutinizing the energy fields emanating from the chakras, otherwise known as a person's aura, to identify energy blockages where Chakra Balancing is needed. In other cases, the problem area or the specific point of intervention of the healee is known. Also known as Palm healing, the art of Reiki Chakra Balancing thus involves techniques like placing the palms flat on these spots, tapping, stroking, staring and blowing on those places. The places are mainly around the head and neck region, but front and back of the torso, knees and feet are also targeted.

Starting from energizing physically with the warmth of the practitioner's palms, to using Reiki symbols to provide heightened intervention in diseased spots, Reiki Chakra Balancing is performed in various levels. The healee senses a tingling sensation in the area targeted and mystical Reiki symbols are drawn and concentrated upon for transmitting energy and balancing the chakra where a serious injury or disease has occurred. One can also heal by placing his palms on the affected areas for varied lengths of time and this is known as localized treatment.

Thus, it can be seen that Reiki Chakra balancing is all about using one's hands to transmit energy to that Chakra where it is needed the most so as to balance and align the same for improved wellbeing of the healee.

It can be concluded that Reiki Chakra balancing is most effective when it is practiced as a proactive approach. Thus, not waiting for a disease to happen and progressing on this path as soon as possible, would bring smooth flow of energy across the chakras and thereby result in the ultimate physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing of man.
