Gentle Reminder: Reiki practitioners do not diagnose any physical, mental or emotional illness and they do not provide clinical advice or definitive interpretations of the energetic fluctuations sensed during a Reiki session. During your Reiki session, observations about chakras simply describe where energetic patterns may have been perceived and may or may not reflect your own experience. Please take what resonates and leave what doesn't.
