A chakra is  a whirling, vortex like, powerhouse of energy. Within our bodies there are seven of these major energy centers and many more minor ones. They regulate the flow of energy throughout the electrical network (meridians) that runs through the physical body. The body’s electrical system resembles the wiring in a house. It allows electrical current to be sent to every part, and is ready for use when needed.

 

Chakras can (and often do) become blocked because of stress, emotional or physical problems. If the body’s ‘energy system’ can not flow freely, it may result in physical illness and discomfort or a sense of being mentally and emotionally out of balance. 

 

There are many ways to keep Chakras balanced and free flowing. Reiki is just one of the many wonderful mind/body centering techniques.
