The human body has 7 main energy centers known as chakras.  Reiki works with these energy centers.  Each chakra has significance and can hold onto energy that  doesn't serve you.  During each session I set my intention to not only channel universal life force energy to you but to also allow any energy that isn't serving you to be released.  Ideally the chakras are all open, aligned, and balanced.  Spend a moment to familiarize yourself with your chakra system and feel free to ask any questions during your reiki session.
