Reiki therapy is a specific healing modality used throughout the planet.<\/p>\n

Reiki means “Universal Life Energy” and is the word used to describe this system of healing.\u00a0 Reiki is a light touch given to a clothed body to improve the overall wellbeing of the recipient.\u00a0 Using an intention, the Reiki practitioner gives healing energy to an accepting receiver.<\/p>\n

The healing energy flows through the hands of the practitioner.<\/p>\n

I feel that the Reiki we practice today is old.\u00a0 Its origins are shrouded in the mists of time.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mikao Usui developed and used the healing modality we use today.\u00a0 He\u00a0 operated clinics in Japan in the 20th century.\u00a0 Dr. Usui is not only remembered because of the Reiki he developed but also because of his spiritual lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Dr. Usui worked with others in his clinic and in his spiritual practice.\u00a0 Two people include Dr. Chujiro Hayashi and Hawayo Takata.<\/p>\n

Hawayo Takata brought Reiki to the United States after World War II<\/p>\n

It is said that Dr. Usui meditated on one of his five principles daily:<\/p>\n

Original Reiki Precepts<\/p>\n

\u00a0Just for Today,<\/p>\n

I will not worry<\/p>\n

I will not be angry.<\/p>\n

I will do my work honestly.<\/p>\n

I will count and be grateful for all my many blessings.<\/p>\n

I will be kind to every living creature.<\/p>\n

When I offer a Reiki session focused on balancing the chakras of the recipient, my client is usually seated or lying face-up on a massage table or other flat surface.<\/p>\n

I offer my client a blanket and eye pillow if it’s appropriate.<\/p>\n

After setting the intention, I invoke the symbols:\u00a0 Standing at the head of my client, I draw first the ChoKuRei, then SeiHeKi, then HonShaZeShoNen.\u00a0 Finally, I repeat the ChoKuRei again.<\/p>\n

I place my hands on the shoulders of my client.<\/p>\n

So far, this part of the session should take 5-10 minutes.\u00a0 However, this time length can change with the practitioner. Each practitioner works in a different way so the time will not always be the same for everyone.<\/p>\n

I then move to the side of the client and go to the first chakra.<\/p>\n

I balance the primary chakras beginning with the root chakra.\u00a0 I balance each chakra by hovering my hands over each chakra about 2 to 6 inches above each chakra.\u00a0 I usually spend about 5 minutes on each one although these times can change depending on the client.<\/p>\n

I am an old massage therapist and believe that touching my client will help me do my job better in many situations.\u00a0 As a massage therapist, I feel that I gain a better understanding of what is happening.<\/p>\n

However, this is a personal situation and will be determined by your training, and previous experience with not only Reiki but other healing modalities.<\/p>\n

A Reiki session works with the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual levels of a person’s body.\u00a0 On a physical level, many people appreciate the warmth generated by a Reiki practitioner’s hands. On a mental level, the client is often comforted by knowing where the practitioner’s hands are at all times.<\/p>\n

Respect your client privacy at all times.\u00a0 It’s important to do the right thing at that moment.\u00a0 Some people do not want to be touched at all, no matter what.<\/p>\n

Always respect your client’s privacy.\u00a0 Chakra balancing is extremely intimate work.\u00a0 And, Reiki energy naturally finds its own path, going exactly where it is needed.<\/p>\n

The first chakra to be balanced is the root chakra.\u00a0 \u00a0When I balance this chakra, I place my hands outside the person’s hips where they\u00a0 meet at the base of the spine.\u00a0 This chakra is your client’s connection to the physical world.\u00a0 Trust is an important issue here.<\/p>\n

The second, or sacral chakra is located about 1-2 inches below the navel.\u00a0 \u00a0This chakra is the seat of creativity and inspiration.<\/p>\n

After balancing the second chakra I move on to the third or solar-plexus chakra.\u00a0 \u00a0This is where the upper chakras and lower chakras meet.\u00a0 The solar-plexus chakra is found just above your waistline, where your client feels the chakra as “butterflies”.\u00a0 This chakra is where your client finds her power.<\/p>\n

Moving on from the third chakra to the fourth chakra, balance your client’s heart chakra – the center of love, healing, and compassion.\u00a0 \u00a0 Your client’s heart chakra is located in the central chest.<\/p>\n

After balancing your client’s fourth chakra, move up to the fifth, or throat chakra.\u00a0 This chakra houses voice and self-expression. As expected, this chakra is located in the throat.<\/p>\n

The fifth chakra, the third-eye chakra, is located in the forehead in the area of the eyebrows.\u00a0 The third-eye chakra focuses on intuition and awareness.<\/p>\n

The next chakra, the crown chakra, is found toward the top of the head.\u00a0 This is where the higher self and the divine come together.<\/p>\n

After balancing each chakra and finally coming to the crown chakra I focus for a few moments at my client’s feet.\u00a0 After all, I’ve come to a full circle along my client’s body.\u00a0 It has been a session of shifts and adjustments – many not yet known by the client.\u00a0 It may take several days for your client to begin to understand what is happening.<\/p>\n

A Reiki chakra balancing session can often be repeated more than once or twice in a lifetime.\u00a0 Your client may want to have several weekly or monthly sessions. A few of your chakras may want to be balanced several times until they are happy in their new place.<\/p>\n

Whatever the outcome of the chakra balancing session, a few minutes spent at your client’s feet for grounding purposes are a good idea.\u00a0 The options here are many.\u00a0 Have you taken any reflexology classes?<\/p>\n

No?<\/p>\n

There’s a video out there that might inspire you.\u00a0 You probably won’t spend more than about 5-10 minutes on your client’s feet.\u00a0 You are there to offer a path back to present time for your client.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The are many classes waiting for you on YOUTUBE.\u00a0 Some are mine and some are produced by other teachers.\u00a0 But, whichever one you choose, the idea is to gently finish your session.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One final suggestion: a chakra balancing Reiki session, or a regular Reiki session, are both good for the body and the soul.\u00a0 Every person needs some Reiki every week or so.\u00a0 If you feel you don’t have the budget for this, learn Reiki and partner up with another practitioner.<\/p>\n
