Hi Vijay
your question is great insofaras it brings onboard an observers' query !
today, we believe that attunement process opens up spcecific chakras and if we think the process in the reverse direction, we somewhat land into something you have asked about...
the concepts of chakras has been introdcued into system of reiki at a later import.. while emphasis is drawn in japanese esoteric arts and energy cultivation techniques by focussing seika tanden, the gimmicks of defining hara or dantien are quite very different(in japenese techniques) from opening or balancing root and naval chakras (in ancient indian techniques)... do we have to reconcile the two systems, perhaps we dont need to... particularly since whether it is chakra system or qi-gong arts, both are the nodes, or exhibition points of a complete system behind... which runs on differnet methodolies albeit aiming at confusing similar ends....
reiki does not, in my personal humble opinion (roar aside
), have to do anything specifically on chakras.... i have learnt people have been giving focal attention to chakras while giving reiki treatments, and and sometimes this over-emphasis takes away the jewels of the reiki process itself... suppose somebody comes to me for treatment of stomach ache, and i foucs on his stomach, without realizing that problems might have roots somewhere else in the body... the same is with chakra treatments.... we feel experts on chakras without realizing that humans are not identical and so is not their emotional, vibrational and structural patterns... it is not necessary at all that once somebody comes to us for treatments, we start chakra balancing alluding ourselves into the belief that if chakras get aligned/balanced, all is done automatically good... thats correct... but do we have to adopt a quick cookbook approach.... chakra balancing is a delicate (and artistic process)... it is aimed at harmony in the body instead of abrupt changes..... when we develop ourselves spiritually, and energetically, our whole body, our mind, our spirit harmoniously move to a direction, in a path, that ultimately has everything... chakras, kundalini, esp, mediumship, etc. etc.... some aspects brighter, some aspects bit diffused... and this gradual process of attaining harmony and development is very much different from a one hour sessoin in which ends with a claim 'lo your chakras are now balanced'...
in the same vein i endavour to say here that reiki attunement is opening up access to something we didnt have had previously, while a chakra balacing process is a gradual process which makes us balance ourselves without adding any new thing to our system... both have different planes and different domains... the outcomes are sometimes similar which gives us a pseudo inclination to belive that both are identical or same, which in fact they would never be
hope this helps vijay dear
