Can Reiki Balance Hormones?

Reiki - A natural way to balance hormones.

Reiki can balance hormones by controlling the endocrine glands that secrete hormones in the human body. These hormones regulate many vital physiological processes in our body. These hormones are secreted into the blood stream to control several functions including growth.  



According to Reiki, each endocrine gland corresponds to one of the 7 chakras. These seven chakras control or influence the hormone secreting activities of the endocrine glands. Giving Reiki to these chakras is one of the natural way to balance hormones. 

Each chakra is associated with a particular endocrine gland. If the universal energy is blocked in a particular chakra then the functions associated with the gland gets affected. The blockage of the universal energy in chakras causes the irregularity in the secretion of the hormones. 

When Reiki is given to the chakras the glands start to secrete hormones in a balanced way. When there is harmony in the flow of universal energy in the chakras the hormonal secretion inside your body get regulated. 

Many people who have given Reiki to balance hormones have reported high degree of success. It is advised to continue to take medicine as prescribed by the doctor while giving Reiki for faster recovery to good health.

 

Effects of the Seven Chakras on the endocrine glands and how does Reiki balance hormones naturally:

The Root Chakra: 
This Chakra is associated with the adrenal glands. Adrenal glands are present on two upper poles of the kidneys. This gland is associated with the functions like survival and earthly life.  The hormone adrenalin is responsible for flight or fight response. The blockage in the life force energy in this chakra or the loss of harmony in its flow through this chakra produces anger, shame, guilt, fear and may lead to addiction or violence. Reiki helps in balancing the hormone, controlling anger, reduce mental stress, decrease fear and prevent the person from seeking addictions. The relaxation experienced during Reiki will reduce the pain in body parts such as spine, teeth, muscle and intestine. Hypertension and circulatory problems are regulated. Meditation and relaxation techniques will help you to decrease your muscle fatigue.

The Sacral Chakra: 

Sacral Chakra is associated with the functions of the gonads (testicles and ovaries).  Gonads are responsible for sexuality and reproduction. Reiki will tend to solve sexual problems. Reiki reduces feelings of loneliness, jealousy and mental depression. Reiki decrease pain in body parts arising due to imbalance of the Sacral Chakra and the gonads. Pain in muscles, hips, feet and the sciatic pain can be released by Reiki healing. Problems with bladder and menstrual cycle are associated with this and Reiki will regulate the bladder functions and menstrual cycle.

The Solar plexus Chakra:  

Solar plexus regulates the functions of the pancreas.  Pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin controls the sugar level in blood. Giving Reiki to this chakra will reduce psychological conditions like mental stress or anxiety, loss of trust and negligence which are associated with imbalance in this chakra. Reiki will improve the functions of stomach, spleen, small intestine and gallbladder or pancreatic dysfunction which may be affected due to solar chakra blockage. It helps to restore your blood sugar level. As Reiki induces mental relaxation and decreases the mental stress and anxiety, it decreases the risk of loss of insulin and other problems like hypertension and cardiac problems.

The Heart Chakra: 

This chakra is associated with Thymus gland. This gland deals with the immune system. This chakra is also responsible for the unconditional love and marriage. When blockages are removed or harmony in the flow of the life force in the heart chakra is restored the circulatory, cardiac and respiratory problems start to disappear. Reiki helps in improving circulation, regulating blood pressure, restoring breathing pattern and regulating the cholesterol level in your blood, thus getting rid from the symptoms associated with thymus gland dysfunction. Physical illness also has the psychological impacts. Reiki can decrease mental depression and anxiety felt due to illness.

The Throat Chakra: 

Throat chakra balances the functions of the thyroid glands. This chakra is responsible for good communication, independence and creativity. The behavioral problems associated with imbalance in the throat chakra are fear, feelings of insecurity, despair and self-reproach. This can be decreased by the flow of universal healing energy of Reiki. Tonsillitis, muscle aches, headache, dental problems, laryngitis, oesophagitis and pharyngitis are the main physical problems associated with it. This can be treated with medical approach and the healing process can be accelerated by Reiki healing.

The Third Eye Chakra: 

This chakra is a related to the functions of the pituitary gland. In case this chakra is not receiving the enough life energy the psychological symptoms like greed, disposal and arrogance is seen in a person. Reiki can control all these symptoms. Reiki can improve logical thinking which is affected in this condition. Imblance in this chakra may manifests problems like cataracts, glaucoma and blindness, deafness or loss of hearing and rhinitis or running nose.  These conditions can be treated with medical interventions and the healing process will be accelerated by the healing energy of Reiki.

The Crown Chakra: 

This chakra is associated with the functions of the pineal gland. Reiki will decrease the mental confusion, phobias and protect from irrationality and hysteria. Sensory loss is associated with Crown chakra blockage or pineal gland dysfunction. The sensory part of the nervous system can be improved by Reiki healing. Reiki can help you to assimilate the energy as the main problem with crown chakra blockage is the deficiency in assimilating the energy.

Reiki practitioner places his/her healing hands on each of the chakras, healing the glands and balancing the flow of associated hormones naturally. You can practice Reiki yourself and let the universal energy flows through your healing hands to your chakras and let Reiki balance the hormones. 

Reiki energy dissolves the barrier and clears the path for the life energy to flow through the entire chakra system and thus balance the entire endocrine system and balance all the activities of hormone secreting glands.
