Reiki Energy Balance for the Martial Artist[credits]
by Robert Morgen
Here's a simple exercise that anyone can do, even if they
haven't been 'attuned' to Reiki. It requires a basic knowledge of
channeling Reiki energy, the positions of the 7 primary chakras and
a willingness to spend some time making someone else feel good.
Everything else is optional. For those who've never channeled Reiki
or studied it, first take a moment and see my other article "Reiki
for the Martial Artist" for instructions on how to open up to and
channel the energy.
Setting the tone
I like to create a nice atmosphere when doing Reiki. I usually
light up some nice incense and for music I usually use Nik
Tyndall's "Reiki-Healing Hands" CD as it's also designed to help
open the heart chakra. I also like the internet radio station at
Mystic Radio
Getting Started
Just lie down in a comfortable position and put a pillow under
your knees to help take the strain off your lower back.
Place one hand over your 3rd eye and the other over your 1st
chakra. Now just relax and open up to the energy and let it flow
down through the top of your head, through your heart chakra and
out through your hands. Spent several minutes here, or until you
feel like it's time to change.
Next move one hand up to your 2nd Chakra and the other down to
your Throat Chakra. Spend as much time as you need here, and then
move one hand down to your Heart Chakra and the other up to your
Solar Plexus Chakra. After you finish here then just switch your
hands around to your chakras at random and continue tuning them up
for as long as you desire.
Getting Deeper
These exercises can obviously be enhanced by using the Reiki
Symbols and by having the Attunements, but neither is really
necessary. Over time your body will attune itself if you keep
running the energy.
These exercises can also be enhanced by regularly practicing
'The 5 Tibetans' exercises also, as they help tune and rejuvenate
your chakras also.
There are so many things that can be done, both with Reiki and
your Chakra System, and the point of this exercise is to help you
balance your energy and feel better. It's also about building up
your own catalog of experience, as it's pretty hard for any teacher
to tell you what a certain exercise should feel like when you do
it. I can tell you how it feels to ME when I do it, but it may feel
differently to you when you do it yourself, so play with it and see
how it feels.
This is also about learning to trust yourself and your own
feelings and the only way to do that is play with it and have
fun.
