Locating Energy Blockages

In Reiki and other forms of Energy Healing, we first identify the energy blockages of the body. This allows us to channel energy to the correct places with certainty. When we touch a part of a dis-ease, we can feel the energy that comes from it. This includes the afflicted area as well as associated body parts.

Dr. Usui and Dr. Hayashi, the first teachers of Reiki, believed that one could not move to Reiki Level 2 until they clearly felt and understood the different energy blockages. Without understanding blockages, we cannot understand balance. 

A blockage is an area of tension, discomfort, or disease in the body or aura. Five levels of blockages exist in Reiki. We call these the Byosen.

Energy Blockage: Warmth

The first type of energy blockage feels like warmth. This energy, slightly warmer than body temperature, indicates that a blockage is present. This kind of blockage can easily be balanced out in one spiritual healing session. 

Intense Blockage: Heat

Next, heat indicates a blockage stronger than warmth. This energy blockage can find balance after a few sessions of energy work, meditation, etc. Heat takes longer to dissipate than warmth, as the energy is both denser and more widely spread.

Inconsistent Energy: Tingling

Third, tingling indicates a blockage that wavers. This energy feels like an electric shock or pins and needles. The strength of a tingling blockage may peak and subside, making them best met with continual treatment. 

Serious Blockage: Pain

Next, pain indicates a problem. This energy blockage feels even more intense. The more pain that is felt indicates the more serious of a problem present. In any form, pain indicates a dis-ease that requires special attention. If you sense a deeper problem is present, suggest the individual see a specialist. 

Improvement & Self-Healing: Pulsing

Finally, a pulse-like sensation indicates that the body and aura are regulating themselves. Blood vessels contract when stimulated. So, this causes a pulsing sensation in the aura. Pulsing shows where healing energy is being sent- either from the body or a healing practitioner. 

Energy blockages can manifest themselves in many forms throughout the body and the aura. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, identify how your body’s natural healing abilities are trying to help.  By identifying this, we can clear out our blockages and maintain a healthy aura. 

Different ways to clear out these blockages include intentional shadow work, energy healing, diving into your birth chart, or daily affirmations.
