What are Energy Systems?
Our energy systems are composed of the seven different chakras that reside in each o f our bodies: root, base, solar plexus, heart, throat, crown and third eye.
See the table and graphic below for more information.

Chakras
The word chakra is a Sanskrit term that means energy center. Each chakra has a name, location and colour. Our chakras are subtle energy bodies and can therefore be influenced by things such as thought, trauma, emotion, scents or environment. At times, our chakras may become unbalanced due to these influences. Modalities such as Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can help to release any blocks that may have developed in your energy system.

Releasing blocks
Blocks in your energy system can be mental, emotional, spiritual or physical. Reiki works holistically, as the healing energy knows at which level the block is. Reiki is a gentle, non-intrusive way of balancing your energy system.. The practitioner works with the energy in the area that's blocked until it begins to flow again. This may take several sessions, depending on the severity of the block. The philosophy behind reiki is that if our energy flow is not blocked, our bodies can start to heal themselves.

Why should we release energy blocks?
Releasing toxic energy that does not belong in our bodies is like getting an oil change. It should be part of regular maintenance for your overall health. If we allow things to build up over time, it is easier for us to become run down, overtired, stressed or ill. It is not a natural state for our bodies to store feelings, pain and toxins. However as human beings our bodies have developed a fine tuned system that has allowed us to cope with our daily lives in order to function. As people lose touch with the connection to their bodies, it is easier to allow things to build up. We become merely outer shells functioning at our basic level. In order to truly heal it is imperative to reconnect with the healing energy of our bodies.
