All living things have a non-visible energy field surrounding the physical body. This energy field is most commonly referred to as an aura. The body's aura is protective energetic layer that is made up of multiple layers of vibrations. Each layer is connected to different energy points in the body. These energy points are what is knows as the body's chakras. When there is a disruption or blockage in the flow of energy in any of the chakra points, it can weaken our aura's ability to protect the physical body allowing for illness, diseases and other physical symptoms to occur. While some conditions require physical medical attention, reiki healing can often provide the right atmosphere in the body for natural healing to occur. A healthy aura prevents external energy from disrupting the physical body. Activities such as yoga, meditation, and receiving reiki healing are some of the best ways to keep the aura healthy. Unfortunately, many people have poor aura health and often have blockages or openings in their aura, which allow external energy to impact the physical body. During a Reiki session, you will lie down comfortably, fully clothed. The practitioner will lightly place their hands near specific energy points on your body, facilitating the flow of healing energy. In some cases the healer may use crystals or sound waves to aid in the process.
