Chakra & Energy Healing
Underpinning all energy healing is the concept of the universal life force, a vital force or energy that transcends time and space; permeates all things in the universe, and upon which all things depend for health and life. The existence of the universal life force has been acknowledged universally since ancient times, and it is known by many different names. The Hindus call it prana, the Polynesians and Hawaiins mana, the Chinese qi and the Japanese ki. This energy, or life force, flows through and connects everyone. Because the energy field connects everyone, individuals are, of course, affected by energies and events outside themselves.
Chakras are our energy centres. Each of these centres corresponds to an area of the body, certain behavioural characteristics and stages of spiritual growth. Chakras are whirling concentrated energy centres that receive, assimilate and express life force energy. Chakras draw in Divine life-force energy from the Universe and distribute this vital energy to the physical glands and organs in the body and through the bloodstream and nervous system for optimum health and well-being. Keeping our chakras in tip-top condition is the key, in other words keeping them spinning in balance. Chakra balancing is a bit like spring-cleaning the chakras and fine-tuning them.
Balancing your chakras improves your health and wellbeing, physically, mentally and emotionally. By releasing any blockages or obstacles practitioners restore the flow of energy which helps the body to self-heal. Healing encompasses the mind, spirit, and body. When our minds are ill, when our chakras are unbalanced, when we just don’t feel well, our bodies respond with physical ailments. We can eliminate the physical manifestations of our illness, but often our minds are left to suffer. Curing is important; but it should not be your sole aim when striving to achieve health and wellbeing. Energy healing seeks to address the whole person, not just the body.
How is this type of healing different to Reiki?
Whilst Reiki is similar to this type of energy healing, Reiki uses a different ‘channel’ of healing. Every session with an individual is different. Energy healing and chakra balancing sessions last approximately one hour. In these sessions I work specifically on balancing the chakras and balancing the energy field around the body. The client lays fully clothed on the table and I start working from the feet. I work on each of the 7 chakras starting at the root chakra and moving right up to the crown chakra. I have studied this different type of energy healing with world renowned author and Master Healer Deborah King and am currently taking part in her 21st Century Energy Medicine Programme. I have trained in something called a “chelation,” which removes debris and blockages from the energy field, balances the field, and fills it with energy.
