Reiki is one of the most efficient spiritual practices out there.
It can help us place our mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies in a state of healing and reinstate balance.
But, we’re the only ones who can make this work.

Being determined to take action regularly is a crucial step in one’s development. Yet, it’s just the first one.
Knowledge then comes to support this initiative and enhance the overall experience.
There’s No Wrong Way Of Doing Reiki
You can always choose to place your palms on your body at random. This form of self-treatment can work to a certain degree. It will help you relax, find peace of mind, and even remove part of the negative energy gathered throughout the day.
In this case, you probably don’t need all the information that follows.

Thus, the approach was slightly different.
Back then, in the Japanese esoteric philosophy, there were three major energetic centers called TanDens. These were:
- The sacral area;
- The heart area;
- The third eye chakra area;
According to their understanding, these 3 centers governed the body’s main structures and required special attention to function properly.
As expected, the practice of Reiki focused on these three TanDens.
Still, there were similar concepts all over Asia, each with its own particularities.
That’s why today, the popular western idea that the use of chakras is part of the “New Age” movement and that it shouldn’t be included in the Reiki practice, is the…
