The entire universe is made of energy, and your body is no exception.
Long before modern technology and science, ancient cultures knew that all living things carried a life force with them. They are the centres of energy that move inside of us, the 7 chakras.
The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to ‘wheel or disk’. In Reiki, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body.
There are seven main chakras, which align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through to the crown of the head. To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet.
This invisible energy, called Prana, is vital life force, which keeps us vibrant, healthy and alive.
In a healthy person, the 7 chakras provide exactly the right amount of energy to every part of your body, mind and spirit. However, if one of your chakras is out of balance, your health will suffer.
By learning about the chakras, you can become more in tune with your body, connect physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances with the chakras that empower them and begin to balance your chakras to live a healthy and harmonious life.
