Reiki and the Throat Chakra

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The throat chakra is one of the steps that Reiki practitioners will focus on during the healing method. When the throat chakra is opened, it allows for better communication to occur on many different levels. In relation to this, there are several techniques that can be used in the opening of the throat chakra.

The throat chakra is located between the inner collarbone and the larynx of the throat. It is known to be the center for communication and inspiration. Some will call the throat chakra the communication center. If there are blocks in the throat chakra it may cause problems with how one communicates with others and will not allow energy to flow freely to other chakras.

The throat chakra is also the part of the chakras that are used for resonance. This resonance is for both hearing and being. It is associated with the sixteen petal lotus with how the aura is shaped. The aura color of the throat chakra should be a pale blue when cleared. Some will also see a silver and turquoise color aura that is associated with the throat chakra.

If a Reiki instructor is working on your throat chakra, they will first place their hands by your collarbone and throat. For females, this energy can be cleared by rotating left, and for males, the Reiki practitioner will rotate right. Many say that this will not only affect the throat, but also the thyroid and parathyroid glands.

Other Reiki practitioners may use Reiki toning when clearing the throat chakra. The attunement, or mantra, that is used in relation to clearing the throat chakra is the ‘ham’ sound. This allows for a vibration to change the energy flow in the communication center.

Other Reiki healers will use gemstones in relation to the communication chakra. The best gemstones that can be used include aquamarine, turquoise and chalcedony. These gemstones can either be gently placed on the persons’ throat chakra, or they can be placed in different areas where a person rests, which will clear the blocking over a longer period of time. Several practitioners may also use aromas to help with this clearing. Sage and eucalyptus are known to be the best methods of clearing with the communication center. These aromas will then move into the energy center of the throat and help in removing the blocks.

When one is clearing the throat center, it is said those four to five hours of sleep on either the right or left side will help with the clearing. It is also said that having visions of water and sky is a common practice to help with the clearing of this center. When one clears the throat chakra through different attunements, it helps one to be able to communicate better. It will also help with a couple of the lower glands in relation to this. Reiki methods that are used in order to clear the blocked energy in the throat chakra will allow for this portal to open to the rest of the body.

Kundalini Reiki

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Kundalini Reiki is one of several specialized forms of the Reiki tradition. Through the Kundalini form, one is able to open to specific universal energies that can be used in their healing process. By knowing the specifics about Kundalini Reiki, you can include it in your armamentarium of healing methods in your practice.

Kundalini is described as a word that means there is an opening of your chakras and healing channels. By opening these channels, you then gain access to the Earth’s energies. This type of opening and healing method is also often times referred to as Kundalini “fire.” This is because it is calling on the Earth energies to help with healing.

The major chakra that is focused on in Kundalini healing is the root chakra. This is the first and lowest of the seven chakras. With the opening of this specific energy center, one will be given access to the Earth’s energies freely. These energies will then be able to run through the different chakras and up to the crown chakra, where you will be able to open your consciousness.

The difference between Kundalini Reiki and traditional Reiki is the attunements that are used for healing. Traditional Reiki does not focus on one chakra, but rather on where the energy is blocked. Kundalini Reiki focuses primarily on the root chakra. Because of this focus, there will be different attunements that are used in order to open this chakra.

Like traditional Reiki, Kundalini Reiki involves different levels of training.

In level one Reiki, you will be able to open up your different channels for energy flow. You can then strengthen these chakras and energy flows.
From here, you will move to the second level, where you will learn how to strengthen your energy chakras.
You will then be taught specific meditations in order to help you with channeling the universal energies.
When you move into the Kundalini Reiki Master level, you will open other chakras and focus on advanced universal energy flows. You will also focus on knowing how to channel the Kundalini fire energy.
Through opening these different flows, Kundalini Reiki can help you to gain higher consciousness and use the energies of the earth in order to learn how to heal on several different levels. Some who are interested in restructuring DNA will often use Kundalini Reiki as a basis for their therapy, as it allows one to be able to use the root chakra and earth energies produced from it. This DNA restructuring is said to help those who have genetic problems, such as diseases, to be able to heal through calling on earth energies.

This type of Reiki is one variation of several that can help with your healing and with allowing you to become in tune to the universal energies. The concentration in this training will be on earth energies and attunements relating to this. Through the use of Kundalini Reiki, one will understand how to open the different chakras, and use the root chakra in order to use Earth energies for healing.

The First Principle of Reiki Deciding Not to Worry

Monday, May 5th, 2008

The first principle of Reiki states that “namely today don’t worry”. For the one who practices Reiki this phrase is very meaningful in everyday life. The origins of the first phrase of Reiki principle have several purposes and applications. When someone decides to practice Reiki, this principle expands and turns into an everyday life philosophy for such person.

We can say that the origin of this principle was taken by Reiki from several different sources. All the sources assert that a happy thought can produce good words and deeds. Relying upon these assertions, Reiki has come up with a way of seeing virtue in the lack of worrying and anxiety.

Reiki principle can find several ways of practical application. It can be used as a cure for restoring and releasing the blocked energies. When a person is afflicted with worries, it creates extra energy, but this energy is blocked. Such block hinders a Reiki healing practitioner from creating proper energy flow. However, if one decides not to worry, he or she allows the universal flow of energy to move through them and to unblock their inner energy flow.

The idea of making the decision not to worry at all is closely related to Reiki. For, after completing the Reiki class, one may find it easy to block away the anxieties of every day life. However, it should be stated that such practice can also block one out from seeing the universal energies of the world permanently.

After going through Reiki class or working with the Reiki practitioner, one has to be able to become more sensitive to the universal energies, as well as to obtain more joy and contentment in life. However, if you are blocked by worry and anxiety, you will have a hard time continuing to receive Reiki from the universe. It may also cause the other energies to become blocked again.

By deciding not to worry you open up yourself to universal energies, which surround you both inside and outside of the Reiki session. However, by doing this you may unblock possible negative energies surrounding you. The followers of this principle discover that their world begins to change. This begins to show not only through the reactions they begin to develop with others, but also through the mind set they develop in themselves.

The first principle of Reiki is the key for opening a door and letting in all the good of the universe and for unblocking the negative energies that are inside of you. Following the first principle of Reiki on a constant basis allows you to live a more relaxed life. It as well makes possible for the Reiki ideas to become a strong part of your life. By deciding not to worry, you open up yourself to the universe and let the joy and goodness of it enter your life.
