Open Heart Reiki
Founder - Stephanie BrailAbout Open Heart Reiki
An open heart is a beautiful thing. It is a heart that is able to give and receive, to love
and be loved, fully and unconditionally.
Unfortunately, many of us are walking around with hearts that are not fully open. We
have closed our hearts due to past pain, disappointments, and rejection. We keep
our hearts closed by not healing our hurts and by coddling rather than releasing our
deep anger.
Having a closed heart only hurts us in the long run, however. It affects our ability to
feel. It shuts down our creativity. And most importantly, it blocks us from being able
to have fully positive, loving relationships with others. With a closed heart, someone
might be there for you, offering unconditional love, and you would not be able to
fully feel it or accept it.
Open Heart Reiki and the Heart Chakra
Chakras are energy centers that are part of our “energetic anatomy.” We have seven
basic chakras according to classical energy philosophy. Each chakra is located in a
specific part of the body and provides a specific function.
Open Heart Reiki is a Reiki system focused on the heart chakra, which is the energy
center that is located in the middle of the chest. The heart chakra is an important
chakra, because it is the link between the lower earth-based chakras and the higher,
spiritual chakras.
Chakras one through three deal with earthly matters such as survival, sexuality, and
basic boundaries. Chakras five through seven deal with more esoteric matters such
as creative expression, intuition, and the connection with the divine.
The heart chakra, which is the fourth chakra, is directly in between these two sets of
chakras. It connects our physical earthly nature with our spiritual nature.
It is the center of our being. It is the place from which we give and receive love.
A strong heart chakra can open and heal our other chakras if they are closed down
and not functioning at full capacity. An open heart chakra has the ability to heal
others and give them comfort and nurturing, without your even trying.
Open Heart Reiki
If you have ever met someone with an open heart chakra, you have probably felt it.
These people are individuals who you feel safe and loved around. They attract a lot
of people to them who love and trust them. They are giving without draining themselves.
They are able to give so much because they are giving from an open heart chakra,
one that refills itself from an infinite reservoir of unconditional love. People who give
from a closed heart chakra are usually stealing energy from other areas, such as their
second or third chakras. Or, worse, they are giving more as a way to receive and
when they “give” they are actually taking. These people then act as energy vampires
upon the other person.
Have you ever had someone give you a gift that left you feeling drained or guilty?
That person is not giving from an open heart chakra. They are giving to get, and you
can feel it.
Healers in particular should work to have open heart chakras. Otherwise, they risk
healing from a place that is not in integrity with themselves. By working with Open Heart Reiki energy, you will be able to create a strong healthy heart chakra that is able to give fully and unconditionally, while receiving love in return. With an open heart chakra, you should expansive, loving and joyous. Life should feel easier and you will feel more at peace with the world.
