CHAKRA
The Chakra (the Sanskrit word for Wheel) are the energy centers or vortex in your aura that govern and regulate the energy entering and flowing throughout the physical and energy bodies. They are energy structures not physical organs. The Reiki hand positions cover the main chakra centers and the main meridian channels that the life force flows through. Adding the shoulder and hip positions to your treatment also covers the Hawaiian AO energy centers as well. Running energy into the feet will facilitate energy flow through all the major channels. The chakra are aligned along the central channel which runs along the spinal cord. Energies move up and down and also in a spiral in and out along this channel and side channels called Ida and Pingala. The Caduceus, an ancient symbol of the Healing arts is said to represent this flow. There are many chakra major and minor we will focus on seven major chakra. From the top down the Chakra numbers are traditional and are numbered from the bottom up. 7. Crown, 6. The brow, 5. The throat, 4. The heart, 3. The solar plexus, 2. The sacral (Mid stomach) and at 1. Root the base of the spine. The functions and deeper purposes of the chakra system is a vast area of study. Chakras are composed of high frequency energy strands that the spiritual eye perceives as light The life force is channelled to the physical body and its organs via the nadis and meridians and enters the body through the chakras. The degree of chakra activity depends on a combination of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development of the individual. Chakras can be damaged or blocked through an emotional upset such as conflict, loss or, accident. Fear, anxiety and stress are common causes of chakra malfunction, it is the disruption of the chakra and aura that create disease and disturb the energy balance of the chakras. Psychological problems may cause 'blockages', obstructing the flow of energy into or out of the chakras. In general the front aspects of the chakras correlate to our emotional function, the back to our will function, and the top three chakras to our reason function. Balance in our reason, will and emotion centers is necessary to good health and well being. The amount of energy flowing through our chakras determines how well we function.

PALM AND FINGER CHAKRAS

The chakras in the palms of the hands are often relegated to minor status. They are of great value in daily life and must be open and active for sharing Reiki treatments and other healing energies. These chakras transmit healing energy and receive energetic information from the universe. The palm chakras are used to channel healing energies to yourself and others and to receive impressions of the energy of a room, person, situation, etc. These chakras make a major difference in the quality of life when they can be opened by intention. Practice in becoming aware of the energy of the palm chakras is essential if you are at all interested in energy work and spiritual healing. Healing chakras also activate in the fingertips.

TRANSPERSONAL CHAKRAS
The most important of the transpersonal chakras are the thymus or etheric heart in the upper chest which governs compassion and inner peace and the connection to world soul. The Soul Star about a foot above the head which brings in spiritual energy from the spiritual core and helps us connect with spiritual energy and information. The Earth Star about a foot below our feet that brings in and connects us to the Earth energies and information. It is important to develop the Soul Star and Earth Star simultaneously. The Tan Tein or Hara located about two finger widths below the navel on most people is a vital center for connection and storage of vital energies and concrete awareness of the spiritual. The most important evolution happening at this time in the energy body is the unification of the chakra functions all the chakras are beginning to work together more than in the past. The Reiki Attunement I offer includes attunement to help facilitate harmonizing the chakras.

CHAKRA ALIGNING/BALANCING
To balance/align chakras with Reiki is quite simple, effective, due to Reikis effect of bringing harmony to the body. All that is required is the laying of the palm of your hands on the chakra areas in the following order. Descriptions will also be given on each chakras effect when treated. Note: Remember that Reiki uses a light touch, no pressure or massage is needed. The palms of the hands are used with fingers together, not spaced apart. Please also make sure you explain where youll be touching as to avoid any legal hassles that may arise. This applies to the Reiki positions as well. Position 1: Place one of your hands on the recipients forehead (third-eye) and the other just above their groin (root), being mindful where your hand is placed due to privacy issues. Leave until energy feels the same from both hands and move to position 2. Benefit: Often there is too much energy in the head, and too little in the body, so this particular position helps to correct this imbalance. Position 2: Place one of your hands just below or on the recipients Adams apple (throat), making sure you are gentle with touching their throat area, and the other just under their bellybutton/navel. Leave hands until the energy feels the same from both hands. Position 3: Place one of your hands just under the recipients sternum (solar plexus) and the other just above in the centre of their chest (heart). Again, please be mindful of privacy issues. This is the final position.
