What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

What is Chakra Balancing?

In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs.

To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open, or balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.

There are seven main chakras that run along your spine. They start at the root, or base, of your spine and extend to the crown of your head. 

1.  The Root Chakra is located at the base of your spine.  It helps you feel grounded and stable.

2.  The Sacral Chakra is located just below your belly button.  It is linked to creative energy and your emotions towards others.

3.  The Solar Plexus Chakra is located in your stomach area.  It's responsible for confidence and self-esteem.  It also helps you feel in control of your life.

4.  The Heart Chakra is located near your heart.  This allows us to show love and compassion.

5.  The Throat Chakra is located in your throat and helps you have the ability to communicate verbally.

6.  Third Eye Chakra is located between your eyes and is responsible for intuition.

7.  The Crown Chakra is located above the head and is the spiritual connection.

Reiki works to balance these chakras.
