Prayer & Balancing the Chakra System

Part of becoming a reiki practitioner meant I had to learn about the chakra system.  What are chakras? Chakras, by definition, are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to to the immune system and emotions. We can commonly count 7 chakras positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, that is depicted through a specific chakra color, and governs specific functions that help make you human.

Let’s start with a brief definition. What is a chakra? A chakra (pronounced “cha”-“kra” with a resounding “ch”) is a center of energy. Originating from Sanskrit, it literally means “wheel” by association with its function as a vortex of spinning energy interacting with various physiological and neurological systems in the body.
​

The seven chakras are the centers in our bodies in which energy flows through. Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it's important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely. Here's our quick summary: 
1. Root Chakra — Represents our foundation and feeling of being grounded. 

• Location: Base of spine in tailbone area.
• Emotional issues: Survival issues such as financial independence, money and food.
  
•  An Affirmation is : I am safe. I am!

2. Sacral Chakra — Our connection and ability to accept others and new experiences. 

• Location: Lower abdomen, about two inches below the navel and two inches in.
• Emotional issues: Sense of abundance, well-being, pleasure and sexuality.
  
•  Affirm: I feel. I relate to others.

3. Solar Plexus Chakra — Our ability to be confident and in control of our lives.

4. Heart Chakra — Our ability to love. 

• Location: Center of chest just above the heart.

6. Third Eye Chakra — Our ability to focus on and see the big picture.

• Emotional issues: Intuition, imagination, wisdom and the ability to think and make decisions.

7. Crown Chakra — The highest chakra represents our ability to be fully connected spiritually.

What is reiki and how does it relate to the chakras?Reiki is a spiritual practice originating from Japan that uses hands-on energy healing to support a person’s self-healing and balance. Reiki and the chakras have something in common: They relate to energy and how it functions in the human body. Reiki healing is a whole body healing approach that relies on the transmission of energy through the hands into the person who is the recipient.

Our Father Who Art In Heaven
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.  
Thy kingdom come.  
Thy will be done,  
On earth as it is in heaven.  
Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our trespasses,  
As we forgive those who trespass against us.  
And lead us not into temptation,  
But deliver us from evil.  
[For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,  
for ever and ever.]

Amen.
