What exactly is Reiki, and how does it help me? Over the years, I had heard of it, but never knew exactly what it was and what it did. 2022 was a year of self-discovery and finally diving into all the things that have been calling to me my whole life. It sat in the back of my mind, nudging me to do something about it. Leaving me wondering why nothing else was working out for me when I put my everything into it. Well, nothing was falling into place until I gave in, and Reiki healing was one of them.
The basic definition of Reiki is that it is Universal Life Force Energy. “Rei” means universal, and “ki” means vital life force. I had wondered my whole life how you could just throw some bones, organs, and skin together and achieve a personality? Or how can the act of having these become a functioning being? I have always felt there was much more than this. Something more was at bay that makes all this work.
All living things have a vital life force, including humans, animals, and plants. It has a frequency, and it is different for everyone and moves up and down with your moods, emotions, and, not surprisingly, your spiritual development. The frequencies are high vibrations and low vibrations. The highest of vibrations are enlightenment and love. The lowest, guilt, and shame. I can understand guilt and shame being the lowest because when we are riddled with it, it affects every aspect of our lives, from moods to the decisions we make.
When we align and balance our Chakras, and I’ll briefly explain this later, we vibrate at higher levels. This leads to feeling better and wanting to make better decisions that set us on the path of happiness and purpose. When we are out of balance, it starts to affect how we feel emotionally and physically. We become sluggish, depressed, and start to show physical symptoms throughout our bodies, depending on which Chakra is off-balance. You will hear the term “blocked” by some, but I personally believe it sets a negative thought that is unnecessary. Focusing on the positive opts for better outcomes.
What is a Chakra?
In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs. To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open or balanced. The 7 main Chakras are Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. Stress and anxiety are two of the most common reasons for out of balance Chakra’s. When I started focusing on meditation and opening my Chakra’s, I began to feel lighter. Reiki realigns and balances each one. Energy flows freely through the chakras, harmonizing your body, mind, and spirit. When the energy flow is interrupted, it can cause specific mental, physical, and spiritual problems.
Who can receive Reiki?
Treatment can be received by anyone, anywhere, anytime. Reiki healing sessions can be performed on unborn babies, children, and adults of all ages. Healing is not just limited to humans.

I am offering Distant Reiki Sessions that will show which of your 7 main Chakra’s are out of balance, and I will focus on realigning them. This is performed in a session off camera, and then I will record a video explaining what I found, the realigning outcome, and guided suggestions. Video’s are uploaded privately to YouTube, and only you will have the link. You may keep it to yourself or share with trusted family and friends. But it will stay there as long as YouTube is around.
My plan at a later date is to offer in-person sessions locally in Tennessee. The session will not only be for people, but pets of all shapes and sizes will be included. If you have an event or space locally and are interested in offering Reiki, feel free to contact me. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to keep up to date when these are available.
