THE NATURAL HEALING
Dr Usui’s system of Natural healing has always been recognised as the “line up” of etheric and physical body through the connection between chakras and endocrine glands. Chakra is basically a Sanskrit word which means wheel. This term is appropriate, as the chakras appear to be spiraling disks of light to some one with clairvoyant abilities. The location of chakras in the etheric or energy body corresponds directly to the placement of the endocrine glands in the physical body. The etheric body is an energy body of very find vibration which totally envelops the physical body. Both are interconnected by currents of energy. The etheric body absorbs finer levels of energy from the environment and transduces this energy through the chakras into the physical body via the endocrine glands. The endocrine system controls the hormone balance in the body, which has a powerful effect on a person’s mood and emotions. Thus it can be gathered that if chakra system is out of balance, its counterpart, the endocrine system is also out. If an imbalance somehow occurs first in the endocrine system, it too will put the chakra system out the balance, because energy moves back and forth between the two. Reiki energy is absorbed by both systems simultaneously making it an excellent modality for creating balance in both the chakras and endocrine glands. Because the Reiki practitioner feels the energy being drawn in greater amount wherever it is needed in the body. The seven major chakras have specific function which corresponds directly to certain types of emotions and factors in human development. Some of the different purposes associated with each chakra are also explained separately. If one of the chakra is out of balance, its associated functions in the individual are also out of balance to some degree.
