There are seven major energy centres in the body and these are called “Chakras”.
The Reiki hand positions most commonly used cover the major chakras of the body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel and chakras can be seen to be coloured energy vortexes within our body.
Each chakra is linked with a physical organ and a different layer in the spiritual aura. They are a part of the consciousness or soul and they are a way in which the higher self is connected to our physical being.
Many Reiki practitioners use chakras to focus and direct Universal energy. Energy is absorbed by the charkras and distributed within the body.
Through working with and understanding the different chakras, you can attune your own and other people’s mental, physical, emotional and spiritual energies.
Chakras are not taught as part of the traditional Reiki System but have been added on in later years. Some Masters teach Cchakras as part of the system along with Reiki. It is useful for the student to become familiar with the chakras as in traditional Western Reiki these are where the hand positions are held.
Some schools teach techniques such as opening and closing the chakras, some use pendulums to determine the spin of the chakras and to use this as a yes/no oracle if the chakra is blocked.
