Reiki is an ancient system of natural healing. The word Reiki is translated as spiritually guided universal life-force energy.
 |
Rei = spiritually guided wisdom |

Ki = universal life-force energy |
Reiki is the joining together of the spiritually guided wisdom with the universal life-force energy.
During a Reiki session, you lay fully clothed on a massage table. Soft soothing music is played, supporting your deep relaxation. Andrea channels Ki - the universal life-force energy, as directed by the Rei - the wisdom source, through her hands and into your body. Because the Ki is directed by spiritually guided wisdom, it flows exactly where energy balancing and healing is needed. Energy balancing is often directed to your chakras, and the aura surrounding your body. When this energy is low or restricted from flowing freely, balanced equilibrium of body, mind, and spirit is disrupted.
Chakras are the energy centers in the body where the Ki flows. Ki runs the body, supports the mind and emotions, and nourishes the spiritual life. It is the same energy yogis call prana and other traditions refer to as chi. If you think about it, we humans are a system of flowing energy. Every process occurring in our body, mind, and spirit is caused by either an excess, deficiency, or balance of energy. When Ki is flowing freely and undisrupted, there is health and wellness. If though the Ki is obstructed, illness results. Illness then shows up as a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual crisis.
Chakra balancing is the process of returning the Ki to a healthy flow. Balance may not be restored immediately because many illnesses are from long held beliefs and patterns that have taken root in the subconscious mind. But, with each Reiki session, blockages, negative patterning, and unhealed emotions, are released until complete balance is restored.
There are seven chakras in the body:
♦ The chakras closest to the base of the spine relate to physical needs like survival, procreation, and power.
♦ The center chakra is at the heart and relates to love and compassion.
♦ The chakras above the heart relate to our spiritual nature and connection to Oneness.
The body's endocrine system corresponds to the chakra system and is what western medicine identifies with. This endocrine system is associated with the major glands of the body, nerve plexus, and the proper balance of life force otherwise known as homeostasis. The endocrine system and chakra system both relate to the same sequence of specific glands, organs, and body systems.
