What is Kundalini Energy?
Kundalini is a Sanskrit term that refers to the coiled-up ball of energy that resides at the base of the spine. It is depicted as a serpent (just like the one used in the medical symbol!) and is said to be the “life force” or consciousness with which we’re all born. Your Kundalini energy lays dormant in the lower back (or your “root chakra”) but can be activated through practices like Kundalini Reiki.
This holistic practice considers the body, mind, and spirit to be interconnected and is strongly tied to unblocking your chakras (energy centers). Once you begin to activate your Kundalini energy, that ball of energy moves up the spine from the root chakra and exits through the crown chakra. This leads to what we call a Kundalini awakening, essentially cleansing and clearing the body of physical, mental and emotional trauma.
So what is Kundalini Reiki?
Kundalini Reiki is a form of Japanese energy healing that helps to awaken the energy centers of each chakra. The practice involves the use of energy transfer through the hands and utilizes techniques like breathwork, meditation, and visualization to connect with the chakras.
It is generally led by a “Reiki Master” (Louis is a fully-certified Kundalini Reiki Master Teacher) who will put you through three levels of attunement to help access certain frequencies that connect to your chakra (or energy) system. Though this all seems unfamiliar to many, it’s often met with a visceral emotional response as the person practicing releases unresolved emotional trauma, physical ailments, old patterns and negative beliefs.
Benefits of Kundalini Reiki
Proponents of Kundalini healing believe that this energy can be harnessed for physical, mental, and spiritual health. There is scientific evidence that supports the benefits of breathwork and meditative practices. For example, it has been shown that yogic breathing practices can alter brainwave patterns and help to regulate stress hormones.
Stimulation of our parasympathetic nervous system also helps to tap into the parts of your subconscious that stores stagnant trauma. This release can lead to greater awareness and more clarity about certain issues that may have been holding you back. It can also help to improve mental clarity and focus, and can even help to reduce stress and anxiety levels. Moreover, breathwork has been shown to improve cardiovascular health, which also aids in promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation.
Does Virtual Reiki Work?
So, how does virtual Reiki (or “distance Reiki”) work? It all comes down to understanding that space and time do not exist in the way we naturally perceive them. While we experience time as linear and space in the three-dimensional world, in reality, both time and space are infinite. Reiki energy transcends these concepts, allowing the practitioner to connect with the recipient’s energy, regardless of physical distance.
An analogy for this is love. We don’t need to be physically close to someone to love them. Love is an energy that transcends physical boundaries. Similarly, Reiki is energy, and its healing properties can be shared and received regardless of physical proximity. During a distance Reiki session, the practitioner connects with the recipient’s energy and communicates with their spiritual team to understand what’s going on energetically. Then, the healing energy is shared and received, completing a powerful energetic exchange.
Clients have reported overwhelmingly positive reactions to virtual Reiki sessions. Without even realizing, many individuals are naturally more open and willing to soak up that beautiful, light-filled energy when they’re in their own home environment. Yes, distance Reiki does work, and it works exceptionally well!
