Reiki Center for Natural Healing

Energy

Life force energy is the underlying creative intelligence that organizes our world and everything in it. It is the inherent intelligence that heals a cut or mends a broken bone. This energy is seen as the basic constituent and Source of all life.

Ancient civilizations understood that life-force energy flowed through the body supporting optimal development and fulfillment. The Chinese identified this energy as chi, the Indians called it prana, and the Japanese knew it as ki. Undisturbed, it exists as a state of natural wholeness.

The human energy field is made up of seven levels (or energy bodies) and corresponds to seven major energy centers called chakras. The chakras act like a series of valves connecting and moving vital life energy through the energy system which flows into the physical, mental and emotional bodies to ensure vitality.

When the energy system is working in harmony, the system runs smoothly, nurturing the body with life energy. Life energy also serves as a communication and integration system that keeps the body functioning in balance as a single organism.

• Energy balance is usually associated with higher and faster energies. With the higher and faster energies you can find harmony and optimal conditions. Examples of this would be: health, contentment, emotional peace, happiness, vitality, strength and power, physical stamina, clarity, fulfillment, well-being, wholeness, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

Stress can create energy deficiencies (slow energy and shortages) in energy flow circulation. Stress can originate from physical, emotional or mental factors.

• With energy deficiencies you can find imbalance. Examples of this would be- pain, discomfort, anger, depression, chronic worry, fatigue or uneasiness, illness, dis-ease, sluggishness, listlessness, inability to sleep, feeling of being stuck or a sense of disconnection from life.

Our life force is also responsive to thoughts and feelings and can become disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. Negative thoughts and feelings influence our energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force within our energy system. This can diminish the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body. By maintaining energy balance, the result is a healthy and positive condition.

The Healing Art of Reiki works to fortify and replenish the human energy system to flow freely; amplifying the biological intelligence which governs the body's natural resources to heal and live in balance. When the energy system is strong, charged, and healthy, the person can have a full life in all areas of human experience.
