Chakra balancing
What are chakras?
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. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.
There are seven main chakras that run along your spine. They start at the root, or base, of your spine and extend to the crown of your head. That said, some people believe you have at least 114 different chakras in the body.The chakras most often referred to are the seven main ones that we’ll explore in more detail below.
What are the 7 main chakras?
The chakra system refers to the energy centers we have in our bodies. There are seven major chakras, each in a specific location along your spine. Let’s look at each one more closely.
Root chakra
The root chakra, or Muladhara, is located at the base of your spine. It provides you with a base or foundation for life, and it helps you feel grounded and able to withstand challenges. Your root chakra is responsible for your sense of security and stability.
Sacral chakra
The sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana, is located just below your belly button. This chakra is responsible for your sexual and creative energy. It’s also linked to how you relate to your emotions as well as the emotions of others.
Solar plexus chakra
The solar plexus chakra, or Manipura, is located in your stomach area. It’s responsible for confidence and self-esteem, as well as helping you feel in control of your life.
Heart chakra
The heart chakra, or Anahata, is located near your heart, in the center of your chest. It comes as no surprise that the heart chakra is all about our ability to love and show compassion.
Throat chakra
The throat chakra, or Vishuddha, is located in your throat. This chakra has to do with our ability to communicate verbally.
Third eye chakra
The third eye chakra, or Ajna, is located between your eyes. You can thank this chakra for a strong gut instinct. That’s because the third eye is responsible for intuition. It’s also linked to imagination.
Crown chakra
The crown chakra, or Sahasrara, is located at the top of your head. Your Sahasrara represents your spiritual connection to yourself, others, and the universe. It also plays a role in your life’s purpose.
What does it mean if a chakra is blocked or unbalanced?
“There can be a depletion of energy flow or too much energetic activity in a chakra — each will manifest into different outcomes,” said reiki healer, Guadalupe Terrones.
When a chakra is low in energy, you’ll have difficulty expressing the particular qualities associated with that chakra. When a chakra is overactive, the qualities are a dominant force in the person’s life. This can have both physical and emotional effects.
For example, the first chakra is about security, survival, and the foundation of our life. If it’s underactive, it can show up as depression and insecurity. If there’s too much energy, it can show up as fearlessness without precaution or hoarding because you need more to feel secure.
Can a blocked chakra affect your health?
In general, the location of the chakra that’s out of balance may affect the parts of your body in close proximity to that chakra. This includes your organs, bones, joints, and tissues near that area. Psychologically, imbalances in the chakras may cause an emotional imbalance. This may lead to increased anger, sadness, fear, or indecisiveness.
“It’s important to pay attention to both the psychological and physiological sensations because they can inform each other and uncover the root cause of the experience,” said reiki healer, Guadalupe Terrones.
According to Terrones, experiencing too much stress — physically or mentally — may cause one or more chakras to be out of balance.
Terrones also said that personal habits such as poor physical alignment or posture, eating unhealthy food, or self-destructive behavior may cause a chakra to be imbalanced. Prolonged imbalance may lead to physical disease and illness, musculoskeletal issues, and mental health challenges like depression or anxiety.
How can you unblock your chakras?

Distance healing
What is Distance Reiki and does it work?
Reiki is energy work and energy transcends time and space. Just like more people are working remotely from home, all they need is Wi-Fi.
For qualified Reiki practitioners trained in Distance Reiki (typically those who have completed Reiki Level 2 and up), we’re connected to the Reiki energy source and can share it with anyone at any time.
To facilitate a Distance Reiki session, a well-trained Distance Reiki practitioner can connect with the energy field of the person receiving Reiki healing energy.
Having a photo of the receiver is helpful so often times, a recent photo is asked for prior to a Distance Reiki session. It helps us create a bridge of energy between us (the practitioner) and the receiver or the situation to be treated. Once the connection is established, treatment can be given exactly as if we were in the same room together, just as effectively.
What happens during a Distance Reiki session?
Just like an in-person Reiki session, you’ll want to be rested in a comfortable position (i.e. in bed or on your sofa). We begin with a brief conversation over video call, or over the phone, to discuss particular issues, areas of focus (i.e. what you would like to heal from, whether it’s from the past, present, or fears that you may have about the future).
After that, you will be asked to turn off your computer or mobile devices for the duration of the session and lay down comfortably on your bed or sofa.
Alternatively, you may sit upright so long as you are comfortable. You will need to provide a recent photo of yourself so we can stay connected to your energy field and focus the healing on you.
After the distance healing treatment, we reconnect afterwards to discuss anything that may have come up during the remote session. Sometimes my clients anticipate that they will be resting deeply or sleeping so we may touch base a few hours later or the next day (depending on the time zone).
Not able to meet or chat prior to your Reiki treatment? No problem. Distance Reiki Healing sessions can be facilitated and we can jump straight into the treatment and discuss what you’d like to focus on prior to your scheduled session over email, text or voice chats. It’s helpful to know how you’ve been feeling and what has sparked your interest in a Distance Reiki Healing session. We can always recap how your session went afterwards through the same means of communication.
Stuck at work or on the go? You can choose to enjoy your Reiki session at home, while at work or even be out shopping so Distance Reiki sessions can save a person time while receiving the benefits of Reiki. Although just to point out that on the receiving end, there might be a lower awareness of the Distance Reiki Healing experiences and any sensations from it if you’re running around during your session.
Are there any differences between an in-person session vs. a Distance Reiki session?
There are essentially no differences between an in-person or Distance Reiki session other than we’re not in the same room physically and that you won’t be feeling the physical touch as you would during an in-person session but you would fully receive the benefits of Reiki for sure.
What are Distance Reiki Healing sessions used to treat?
Distance Reiki healing sessions are most commonly used to address the following:
- Stress Relief
- Trauma Healing
- Anxiety
- Grief or Loss
- Separation/Divorce
- Depression
- Chronic pains or discomforts (to reduce or provide pain relief) (i.e. back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulders)
- Chronic illnesses and conditions such as cancer, diabetes, liver, kidney failure, auto-immune diseases, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid issues
- Speed Up Recovery (anything from minor colds, wounds to post-surgery recovery)
- Mental blocks, mental fatigue, or brain fog (to free the mind from being “stuck”, to provide more focus and clarity, to unleash your creativity again, to accept the realities of life)
- Healing emotional wounds
- Creating more self-awareness and intuition (or to increase/improve levels of)
- For general well-being management (to restore our personal and professional well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually)
- Mental and emotional healing for important life events or situations (before, during, or after) (i.e. complicated pregnancy or birth)
- Relationships (to heal your relationship with yourself, your inner child, with loved ones, or important others
How often should I get a Distance Reiki session?
Regular Distance Reiki treatments (i.e. once or twice a month) also help significantly as a way of prevention or management of existing issues like the ones mentioned above.

Tibetan Singing Bowl
A Tibetan singing bowl is a type of bowl that vibrates and produces a rich, deep tone when played. Also known as singing bowls or Himalayan bowls, Tibetan singing bowls are said to promote relaxation and offer powerful healing properties.
Buddhist monks have long used Tibetan singing bowls in meditation practice. In addition, some wellness practitioners (including music therapists, massage therapists, yoga therapists and Reiki therapists) use Tibetan singing bowls during treatment.
How it works
A few different theories have been proposed to explain why Tibetan singing bowls might be beneficial. Such theories suggest that:
- The vibrations that the bowls produce may affect the mind and body.
- The sounds the bowls create may impact brain waves in order to induce relaxation.
- They may induce the same psychological effects and benefits as listening to music.
The benefits of listening to the bowls may be related to the ancient practice of sound therapy. Often used by indigenous cultures throughout the world, sound therapy involves pulsing sounds, clapping, drumming, and singing for ceremonial, spiritual, and health purposes.
