Chakras were already mentioned in the ancient Vedic scriptures and this term reached the Western world through Tantra-Yoga.
The word “chakra” means wheel, steering wheel, circle. In meditation images, yogis represent the chakras as lotus flowers.
Different numbers of petals are attributed to each chakra. The number of petals ascends from the root chakra, represented by a lotus flower with four petals, to the mandala or crown chakra as a lotus flower with a thousand petals.
In some descriptions the chakra is also called “Padma” = Lotus Flower. The number of petals gives brief information about the increase in the frequency of energetic oscillation of the chakra.
Chakras are energy centers of light matter in our body, through which we are especially disposed to absorb Reiki.
Our body consists of seven main chakras, to which I will dedicate an introduction in the following lines.
The different chakras are united by a common flow of energy.
Clairvoyants can see the chakras as circles of different colors that rotate. The vision of these colors is something individual and subjective. The colors recognized by me correspond to the colors of the rainbow spectrum and I classify them when describing the different chakras.
The chakras are the mirror of our soul. All the experiences, good or bad, that we have obtained in the course of our lives, influence the behavior of the chakras.
Negative experiences and experiences produce blockages, which interfere with the circulation of energy. According to their predisposition, human beings react to their environment in an aggressive or introverted way.
Each chakra has a spiritual and a physical classification. Where our feelings are hurt, physical ailments soon appear, and in this way the circle is closed. Just as each chakra belongs to a defined emotional zone, disorders in this zone can be transformed into discomfort in the corresponding organs, parts of the body and metabolic processes. Often, a chakra is blocked in such a way that the human being feels helpless, without energy and lacking stimuli for action.
Like almost no other treatment method, Reiki offers us the possibility of dissolving these blockages. Through the chakras we introduce the positive energy given by Reiki and the negative energy comes out. When I apply Reiki I feel the flow of energy in my hands.
By the intensity of the energy that flows, I recognize disorders in the chakras.
The more energy flows, the more clogged the chakra is. It is not possible to apply an “overdose” of Reiki. The body only accepts the amount of this positive vital energy that it needs or that it is willing to produce at this moment. This treatment opens chakras, releases blockages and positively influences possible symptoms of illness.
The circulation of energy that unites the chakras with each other and in turn with the organs allows each disease to be treated through its corresponding chakra.
The treated person may present strong emotional reactions, for example a liberating cry. Afterwards they feel calm and relaxed. They feel an enormous desire to talk about the sensations they experienced and often discover an intense feeling of happiness, not experienced in a long time.
The healing processes promoted by Reiki can be complemented with other therapeutic methods. In my experience, very good results are achieved with color therapies, aromatic oils, music, precious stones and flower essences.
The chakras
The seven chakras (energy centers) of the human being:
1. root chakra,
2. sacral chakra,
3. solar plexus chakra,
4. heart chakra,
5. throat chakra,
6. forehead chakra (between the eyebrows),
7. crown chakra (mandala)
1st CHAKRA
MULADHARA = ROOT CHAKRA
The root chakra is in the area of the pelvic cavity between the anus and the genitals, and opens downwards. The image corresponding to this chakra is the four-petaled lotus flower. The color of the root chakra is a luminous red. The element that corresponds to it is earth.
• The root chakra is attributed to all solid matter in the body (bones, teeth and nails), feet and legs. The digestive system with the anus, prostate, blood and cell constitution is treated through the root chakra. The sensitive organ of the root chakra is the nose, the sense of smell.
Root chakra disorders
These can be recognized by the following attitudes: the person has extreme fears of suffering physical or mental injuries. To avoid being hurt, she prefers to hurt others. Extreme selfishness characterizes these people. Root chakra blockages are identified with markedly materialistic thinking and behavior. Sensuality increases towards extreme impulsivity, and feelings are rejected. People with a disturbed or blocked root chakra tend to flee from reality, and are also partly prone to addictions (alcohol, nicotine, and in the worst case, drugs).
A balanced root chakra
It conveys a feeling of security. He overcame the fear of helplessness and love and trust prevail. The union with the earth, with what is durable, allows the relationship with reality. Sensitive beings with a balanced chakra are capable of exhausting their spiritual abilities and honing their abilities. This includes the ability to leave the body, to perceive visions without feeling fear, and clairvoyance.

A balanced sacral chakra
It generates a physical-psychological harmony in the life of a couple. The individual trusts his instincts and the environment perceives his vitality. It rests in itself and has a marked sense of family. When the root chakra and the sacral chakra are harmonized, a being with a sensitive predisposition has the possibility of perfecting their abilities.

The solar plexus chakra is the center of all emotions. Here rage and hatred, grief and joy are brewed.
A balanced solar plexus chakra
A human being of this type rests in his center and gives his surroundings a sense of stability. He is an active person, who makes decisions and assumes responsibilities. He reacts sensitively and makes his decisions, letting himself be guided by his intuitions. Human beings with a balanced solar plexus chakra are very sensitive and open to the problems of others. In this case, beings with medial aptitudes can strengthen their telepathic abilities. They have so-called x-ray vision.

It is possible for very few people to achieve supreme wisdom and universal consciousness. People who find themselves on this path usually face their peers with tolerance. They accept others, without trying to change them or interfere in their lives, and show a lot of understanding. But this level of being remains hidden from most human beings.
