In my earlier post I gave you a basic idea about what the chakras are and how they work. We learnt about balancing the chakras and the colors that represent them. In this post we will dig a bit deeper to learn more about these chakras. We will take one chakra at a time to see which body parts, organs and human emotions they support. The knowledge of this is important so that you can direct your reiki healing to the concerned chakra when you want to treat an illness. It is almost like the doctor understands which part of the body is feeling off and treats it with the required medication.
**Note - Reiki healing is a method of alternate healing and should never be used exclusively in extreme cases. The diagnosis of a qualified medical practitioner is recommended in cases of extreme illness or when it is not just a case of common health problems.**
We will start from the base chakra. Each chakra symbolizes a unique part of our lives.

Giving yourself Reiki healing on a regular basis can help you keep various health and mind-related issues at bay. However, as I already mentioned, it is not a foolproof solution for diseases and illnesses. You will need to consult a medical practitioner for the same. If you feel healthy and would like to feel even better, then Reiki definitely is the answer to your wishes. Combine Reiki with your daily medications and doctor's directions; you will surely find yourself getting better in no time. Trust and faith is key to any kind of healing, be it science or abstract.
