Usually a blocked heart chakra is a pretty good indication that the solar plexus will be somewhat blocked as well. Placing my hands at the client's midsection and again checking with the pendulum, I will determine if energy is moving freely through the solar plexus. If it is not, I will place a citrine on the area and continue to Reiki downward.
In most instances there is energy moving in the sacral chakra area, however oftentimes this energy can feel erratic. Instead of flowing in a spiral which is the usual way energy flows through the chakras, I can sometimes feel lots of movement, but it feels all balled up in one spot. This is a strong indication of fear in the person. I make a mental note of this and place a carnelian on the lower abdomen then I continue to Reiki downward.
I Reiki each leg separately and then stand at the client's feet. I grab both ankles and tug downward, grounding the energy. I then place a black tourmaline, jet, or obsidian at the person's feet about inches away from the body.
Guided Imagery
While the client is lying with the crystals on the body, I will begin a guided imagery meditation. Once done, I will ask the client what he or she saw in the meditation and let him or her talk about the experience. I will then remove the crystals and ask the client to turn over onto their stomach.Spinal Finger Massage
At this point I will gently manipulate the meridians along the spine by placing my fingers on the spine and moving them in a circular motion going from the upper back to the lower back. I have found that this technique helps to release any energy blockages along the spine. I then place my hands on the client's mid back and ask them once again to take three really deep breaths. In most cases, their breathing is more fluid than it was before.Energetic Sweeping
I continue to Reiki downward, again grounding at the feet. I then stand at the client's side and "fluff" the energy up by using a sweeping motion from the feet to the head. I ask the client to sit up and hang his or her legs over the side of the table. I sit in front of the client at this point placing the palm of my hands outward. I ask the client to place his or her palms against mine. I then raise my hands skyward having the person stretch upward with me with his or her palms touching mine. Then we begin moving our hands in a circlular motion, thus unblocking any pent up energies in the tiny chakras in the fingers.We end the session with palms still touching, arms outstretched. I once again ask my client to take three really deep breaths and then shake their hands out. The session is over for the client, but really just beginning for me.
Post Session Assessment
Once the client leaves, I assess what I have found, both energetically and through the breath. I also write down what the person has said to me, and what he or she saw during the guided imagery. I contact the person the next day with whatever I have come up with. Again, this is through my experience only. We now both have a better handle on just what we are dealing with and I will tailor the next session accordingly.In this way the client is involved with his or her healing process and can choose affirmatively to heal the self.
