Reiki and Chakra Cleansing: A Sacred Invitation to Inner Alignment

In recent weeks, I've received many heartfelt questions: What does it mean to cleanse the chakras? How can a Reiki session support chakra clearing and how often should I receive it?

These are sacred inquiries, beautiful signs of a soul awakening to deeper wisdom. Let's explore them together in the light of love and presence.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a sacred healing practice, gentle yet powerful, that brings the body, mind and spirit into a state of energetic harmony. Rooted in the Japanese words Rei (universal wisdom) and Ki (life force energy), Reiki invites a return to the natural flow of life within and around us. It is not bound by religion or belief, rather guided by intention, presence and LOVE.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner brings in universal life energy, flowing through the bio-field and their hands to the client. They most often place their hands lightly on or just above the body where the energy may be stuck, depleted or overflowing. This energy provides positive and supportive healing by strengthening and soothing these areas.

What are Chakras and Why Cleanse Them?

Chakras are energy centers within the body, spinning wheels of light that correspond with physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being. Traditionally, we speak of seven main chakras that flow along the spine, from the root chakra at the base to the crown chakra above the head. Each holds its own frequency, purpose, and vibration.

Along with the seven main chakras, the chakra system extends beyond the physical body.

• Located above the crown is the soul star chakra, a luminous center of divine wisdom and elevated connection. It serves as the link to your soul's truth, ancestral heritage, and universal guidance.

• Beneath your feet, lies the earth star chakra, which serves as your energetic connection to the earth and the grounding center for your entire chakra system. It links you not only to the earth's deep nourishment but also to all of humanity.

  
  

These chakras above and below act as gateways, anchoring you in the sacred balance between heaven and earth, spirit and form. When they are clear and aligned, you feel more centered, supported, and connected to your higher path.

Reiki is vibration, a pure, loving frequency that meets you exactly where you are. As it flows through the chakras, it gently awakens, harmonizes, and rebalances the energy within and around you. It invites a soft yet profound release of energies you’ve outgrown, patterns that have run their course, or emotional weight that is ready to dissolve all with compassion and grace.

Chakra cleansing through Reiki isn’t about fixing; it is a remembering. A return to flow. A return to you!

How Does Reiki Support Chakra Cleaning?

Reiki knows where to go. With loving intelligence, it flows to where it is needed, gently dissolving energetic blockages, restoring balance, and nourishing the chakras. Each session invites a deeper harmony, like a river returning to its natural course.

After a Reiki session, clients often describe feeling lighter, more grounded, emotionally free, in a relaxed state and spiritually connected . You might experience warmth or tingling in certain areas, gentle emotional release, deep peace, or even subtle insights.

These are signs of the energy realigning.

As a result, each Reiki session cleanses the chakra and initiates their realignment.

When and How Often?

The rhythm of Reiki is deeply personal.

Some receive Reiki during times of transition or challenge to support grounding and clarity. Others receive monthly sessions as energetic maintenance and soul care.

If you're new to Reiki or feeling particularly overwhelmed, a series of sessions weekly or biweekly may support a deeper clearing and integration. Afterward, your body and spirit will often guide you in knowing what frequency feels nourishing.

A Gentle Invitation

Your energy is sacred. Your healing is a return to, not a destination.

Whether you're starting to explore Reiki for the first time or coming back to it, you are always welcome here just as you are.

Let each session serve as a gateway to your inner light, a chance to create room for more illumination, love, clarity, and a stronger connection to the energy of oneness, as well as a reminder:

You are energy. You are whole. You are loved.
