The chakra system helps us understand how energy moves through the body and how our emotional and physical experiences are connected. When our chakras are balanced, we feel more centred, calm, and aligned within ourselves. When one or more chakras are out of balance, we may feel blocked, overwhelmed, or disconnected. You don’t need to know anything about chakras to benefit from working with them — simply being open to the experience allows your energy to find its natural flow again.

What are the Chakras?

Chakras are the energy centres within the body. The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means wheel or disk, referring to how energy flows and rotates through these centres. Each chakra relates to different emotional, physical, and spiritual qualities, and when they are balanced, our energy can flow smoothly, helping us to feel grounded, connected, and at ease.

There are many chakras throughout the physical and energetic body, but we most commonly work with the seven main chakras, which are aligned along the spine.

​

Root Chakra

The Root Chakra helps us feel safe, grounded, and supported.

When out of balance, we may feel anxious, unsettled, fearful, or disconnected from the body.

​

Sacral Chakra
Located just below the navel | Colour: Orange
This chakra relates to our emotions, creativity, pleasure, and intimacy.
When balanced, we feel open, inspired, expressive, and able to enjoy life.
When imbalanced, we may feel overwhelmed by emotions, numb, overly self-sacrificing, or lacking joy.

Why Keeping the Chakras Balanced Matters

The chakra system offers a gentle and holistic way to understand the connection between body, mind, and spirit. When our chakras are open and aligned, energy can move freely, supporting emotional balance, clarity, well-being, and inner peace.

Reiki can help bring the chakras into harmony, allowing you to feel grounded, calm, and deeply connected to yourself.
