REIKI AND THE CHAKRAS


Chakra is a Sanskrit word and means "wheel". A wheel that spins around its own axis and can spin fast or slowly. A chakra will spin in relation to the energy level of your system. Where will
you find these chakras? They exist within us all. In the same way that we have a physical body
we also have a subtile body. Our chakras are parts of a large network of subtile energies.

Today we know that living cells from humans, animals and plants give off invisible energies. Simple groups of living tissue issue a sort of light (aura) that can be seen on a Kirlian photo. Specialized groups of cells that make up physical organs create more organized energy patterns. The human body's system consists of sensory, breathing, circulation, digestion, reproduction and secretion. There are six corresponding chakras for these bodily functions. The brain and the hole being also has one chakra, making a total of 7 major chakras. These chakras are situated at the top of the head, forehead, throat, heart, solar plexus, the navel and at the bottom of the pelvis.

The root chakra belongs together with the large intestine and the rectum. It also has a certain influence on the function of the kidneys.The navel chakra belongs to the reproduction system,
the testicles and ovaries and also the urinary bladder and kidneys.The solar plexus chakra is
in relation to the liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen and the small intestine.The heart chakra belongs to the heart and the arms.The throat chakra relates to the lungs and the throat.The
third eye (forehead) chakra belongs to the brain, face, nose, eyes etc.The crown chakra does
not have a corresponding organ but is related to the whole being.
