In giving Reiki an understanding of the aspects of each chakra can be of great value, as patterns of emotional or psychological behaviour are assigned to particular chakras. This can help us to target the correct area of the energy field when giving a treatment. Just like the treatments in Reiki provide us with a structure in which to work, the chakra system is a map of the human energy system that can be referred to as a guide. It is not our job to diagnose or give spiritual or psychological counselling unless we have training that qualifies us to do so. An understanding of the chakra system gives us an insight into the way the human energy field operates and this can be a useful aide to our work. As Reiki flows to where it is needed most, we get good feedback if we target the correct areas. Suddenly, because it is needed there will be a rush of energy through us to that area. So as we begin to integrate chakra theory into our work, Reiki should be the teacher. If you are correct in your assumption that a chakra is in need of balancing Reiki will flow strongly through you to confirm what you felt.
