During this ancient Japanese technique, the Reiki master—someone who has gone through all three levels of Reiki training—channels life force energy through his or her hands onto another person, the recipient. By gently floating their hands above someone’s body, the practitioner can identify where blockages live and how to open them so that Qi, or life force energy, can start to flow through the recipient’s body freely. Other excellent ways to balance the energy of the body include eating chakra-balancing foods, using essential oil therapy, practicing Kundalini yoga, and doing chakra meditation.
