HOW DOES ENERGY HEaling WORK

 

We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis.

To understand Energy healing one will have to have some knowledge of the chakras. The chakras are both connected to the physical organs in our body and the different layers in the aura.     

Chakra is a Sanskrit word and means "wheel". A wheel that spins around its own axis and can spin fast or slowly. A chakra will spin in relation to the energy level of your system. Where will you find these chakras? They exist within us all. In the same way that we have a physical body we also have a subtile body. Our chakras are parts of a large network of subtile energies.

Today we know that living cells from humans, animals and  plants give off invisible energies. Simple groups of living tissue issue a sort of light (aura) that can be seen on a Kirlian photo. Specialized groups of cells that make up physical organs create more organized energy patterns. The human body's system consists of sensory, breathing, circulation, digestion, reproduction and secretion. There are six corresponding chakras for these bodily functions. The brain and the whole being also has one chakra, making a total of 7 major chakras. These chakras are situated at the top of the head, forehead, throat, heart, solar plexus, the navel and at the bottom of the pelvis.

Energy work heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.

The chakras and the physical body
Every chakra has a corresponding organ in our physical system.


The root chakra belongs together with the large intestine and the rectum. It also has a certain influence on the function of the kidneys anis relates to the adrenal gland.


The navel chakra belongs to the reproduction system, the testicles and ovaries and also the urinary bladder and kidneys.


The solar plexus chakra is in relation to the liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen, the small intestine and to the pancreas.


The heart chakra belongs to the heart, the arms and the thymus gland .


The throat chakra relates to the lungs and the throat and corresponds to the thyroid gland.


The third eye (forehead) chakra belongs to the brain, face, nose, eyes etc. and has a connection to the pituitary gland.


The crown chakra does not have a corresponding organ but is related to the whole being and is usually connected to the pineal gland.  

There is a clear connection between the condition of a chakra and the condition of the corresponding organ. A chakra can be over active, under active or in balance. Using Reiki can give the chakras balance and the organs health.

The endocrine system plays a major role for the body's daily health. The glands release hormones directly into the blood stream and control all aspects of growth, development and daily activities.

Physical problems are often the result of a blockage in the energy flow in the system made up of meridians and chakras causing the organs or glands to not function properly.
