We are All Energy
Quantum physics has proven that if you go deep into the workings of an atom, you see that there is nothing there -just energy waves. Those energy waves can be measured and the effects seen. They are not a material reality, they have no substance because they are just electricity.
Science has now embraced that the universe and all things in it is made of pure energy. We are made up of billions upon billions of atoms. Atoms are continuously giving off, and absorbing light and energy all the time and never stops, even while we are sleeping. Every cell in our body has atoms lined up in such as way that it has a negative and positive voltage, so every cell in our body is actually a miniature battery!
Each cell has 1.4 volts of energy which isn’t that much but, when you multiply the number of cells in your body (50 Trillion) you get a total of 700 trillion volts of electricity! This energy in our bodies is called “Chi”or “Universal Life Force Energy".
What is "Chi" or "Life Force Energy?"
Life Force Energy, also known as: "Chi", "Ki" or "Prana" it is what every living thing is filled with, it is what makes us alive and animated, and it is what leaves our body's when we die. Life force energy nourishes the cells and organs of the body and supports their vital functions. We replenish this energy through our breath, sleep, sun, healthy foods, prayer, meditation, and energy healing modalities such as Reiki and Shiatsu Massage give a super boost of this energy needed to help our bodies to clear unwanted negative energies, recharge and heal.
What is an Aura?
People who see auras have often reported seeing a kind of luminous radiation surrounding an individual, usually consisting of one or several colors. We now know that the aura, or auric field is actually the electromagnetic field which emanates from all things. A persons aura and the colors in it are constantly changing depending on your thoughts, belief systems, emotions, experiences, and other peoples energy that are around you. Everybody has felt the aura at some point in their lives. Your aura is your “personal space” and when someone who’s energy you do not like is near, you want to back away. Or the opposite when someone you love is near and you want to be close to them. It is because of your aura that makes someone turn to look at us across a crowded room. Or when someone enters a room with angry or joyful energy how we can "feel" it and it can sometimes rub off on us.
The auric field has been studied with scientific instruments for over 50 years and the aura and chakras can be captured using Kirlian Photography; a special camera that takes pictures of energy emitting from all things. Although the topic of auric fields seems quite “new age” it is actually as old as the earth and cultures from thousands of years ago had this wisdom and applied it to their lives for healing and maintaining their health.
What are Chakras?
“Chakra” is a Sanskrit word from Ancient India and means “wheel of light”. Chakras are vortexes of energy that spin and take in energy into our bodies, create energy, and also send energy out into our environment. There are 7 main chakras that start at the base of the spine and reach all the way up to the crown which governs all physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our lives. The Chakras are a well organized system that keeps the life force flowing properly in our bodies. When something happens in our lives to impede the flow of life force energy (for example: stress, anger, grief, trauma, other peoples energy) the Chakras can slow down activity and energy becomes sluggish and even stagnant. If this situation is temporary, the energy will resume its natural flow. If the situation continues for some time, the chakras need stimulation to become active again. Our health and well being depends on active chakras. If a chakra is not functioning properly (because of stuck energy within) It can prevent Life Force Energy, or "Chi" from reaching that particular part of the body that it governs.
When one or more Chakras are blocked, you can feel tired, ill, unbalanced, depressed, angry, frustrated, unconfident, unmotivated, scattered, anxious or fearful. When your Chakras are open and balanced, you feel healthy, happy, confident, loving, inspired, successful, balanced and feel amazing! Chakra health is very important to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health!
