Chakra Healing with Reiki: Why Balancing Energy Matters

Align Your Energy, Transform Your Life

Every experience we’ve ever had—joyful or painful—leaves an imprint on our energy system. These imprints live in the chakras, the seven major energy centres of the body that govern everything from our physical health to emotional well-being and spiritual growth. When energy becomes blocked, stagnant, or overactive in these centres, we may feel ungrounded, anxious, fatigued, or disconnected from ourselves.

This is where Reiki becomes a powerful ally in restoring balance.

 

What Are Chakras? A Quick Overview

The word chakra comes from Sanskrit, meaning “wheel” or “disk.” These spinning energy centres run from the base of your spine to the crown of your head, each aligned with specific physical organs, emotional states, and spiritual functions.

Here are the seven primary chakras:

1.           Root (Muladhara) – Security, survival, grounding

2.           Sacral (Svadhisthana) – Creativity, emotions, sensuality

3.           Solar Plexus (Manipura) – Confidence, power, identity

4.           Heart (Anahata) – Love, compassion, forgiveness

5.           Throat (Vishuddha) – Communication, truth, expression

6.           Third Eye (Ajna) – Intuition, clarity, inner vision

7.           Crown (Sahasrara) – Connection to source, enlightenment

When these energy centres are open and balanced, we feel vibrant, peaceful, and aligned with our purpose.

 

How Reiki Helps Balance Chakras

Reiki is a gentle energy healing technique that involves channelling universal life force energy through the hands. It helps dissolve energetic blocks, release stored emotions, and restore flow within the chakras.

A Reiki practitioner serves as a channel for healing energy to flow where it’s most needed—cleansing, activating, and aligning each chakra.

 

Signs You May Need Chakra Healing

•              Constant fatigue or lack of motivation

•              Anxiety, mood swings, or emotional overwhelm

•              Digestive issues or physical tension

•              Feeling disconnected from your body or intuition

•              Difficulty expressing yourself or making decisions

•              Repeating relationship patterns or trust issues

•              Spiritual stagnation or confusion

If these resonate, Reiki can gently guide you back to energetic alignment.

 

What Happens in a Chakra Healing Reiki Session?

•              You lie down comfortably while the practitioner places their hands above each chakra point.

•              You may feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of calm.

•              As blocked energy begins to move, emotions may surface—this is part of the healing.

•              Sessions often include affirmations, breathwork, and crystal support.

•              Afterwards, many report feeling lighter, more centred, and emotionally clear.
