What you will learn in History of the Chakras for Reiki Pros:
Have you trained in Reiki but were discouraged by the melding of many concepts and ideas that have nothing or little to do with Reiki or related Japanese spiritual traditions?
Cultural and spiritual appropriation is a crucial issue within Reiki. Reiki practitioners of all backgrounds and spiritual beliefs need to look closely at this topic, uncover your truth and learn new strategies.
Appropriation can involve taking and/or modifying significant cultural symbols, practices, or traditions out of their original context without understanding or honoring their historical, social or cultural significance.
One clear example of appropriation within Reiki is the combination of Indian chakra system and Reiki as if these two things are one and the same. They are not. The Japanese have a totally different worldview on the subtle body. Yet, all too often, I see Reiki and chakra healing combined as if they are synonymous when they are not.
I believe as Western practitioners of a Japanese healing art, we now have the resources to do better. So let’s do that!
Join me for a series of continuing education workshops to help you address spiritual and cultural appropriation in your Reiki practice and life.
My first workshop in this series is all about the history and origins of the chakras.
Purchase this workshop if you:
Have had profound experiences of the chakras and want to learn more about their history and origins from India
Trained in Reiki and curious about the connection of the Indian chakra system and energy healing
Understand that what you don’t know can cause harm, even with the best of intentions
Imposter syndrome has been a significant source of disempowerment and anxiety for you and you want to become more knowledgeable and skilled to work with chakras both for yourself and others
Aware of cultural & spiritual appropriation and would like to have more resources to look closely at this topic in your Reiki practice and life
Interested in decluttering and decolonizing spiritual spaces
I have had the chance to study the chakras for years (both from leaders in academia and yogic practitioners from India). I have developed many resources for their use and application in energy healing.
