Reiki is an excellent tool to remove blockages, heal the stuck emotional energy, and free ourselves from old survival patterns that don’t serve our higher purpose. Try combining your Reiki practice with your favorite creative expression. For example, start your art project with a Reiki blessing of the craft materials, ask your Reiki guides to be present and heal your Sacral Chakra as you allow the creative energy to flow through.

Think of ways of doing Reiki outside the box. Reiki can bless many expressions of creativity. I even had a Reiki student choreograph a belly dancing performance to CKR. What is your Sacral chakra expression calling you to create?

If the idea of spontaneous joy and unstructured play is triggering with the thought “that’s a waste of time”, let’s dig a little deeper into why that response is rising up.

Childhood wounding happens to us all. We all have a part of our childhood where we did not receive the love, comfort, and protection that we desired or needed. When this original incident occurred, so did a wounding of the soul. Forced emotional suppression as a child or shaming from caretakers can form an emotional split in the psyche as well as create a block of energy flow through this energy wheel. Remember, Chakra is Sanskrit for wheel. You can imagine this spiritual body of wheels connected much like gears that influence each other’s ability to move freely.

When trauma occurs during childhood, it directly affects our subconscious self throughout our lives if unhealed. It becomes part of our identity and impacts our internal belief systems that affect how we create our current realities. These show up in self-sabotaging behaviors, limiting belief stories such as “I’m not good enough to do…”, and unhealthy stuck patterns in our lives.

Reiki is an excellent tool to heal our original wounding, heal the stuck emotional energy, and free ourselves from old survival patterns that don’t serve our higher purpose.
