Have you ever looked across and marveled at the beauty of nature, the diverse flora, and fauna, the splendid hues of the wildlife? Have you ever noticed the complexity of the human body, the innumerable nerves, the harmonious different systems and the heart that has not stopped for a minute second ever since we were created from the gametes? All of this comes from a superlative force, the primary reason for the existence of life on the planet and beyond. It is necessary for establishing a bridge between the Almighty force and us, for achieving grounding and a sense of inner peace.

WHY CONNECT WITH THE ALMIGHTY?

The Reiki institution believes that the lifeforce energy is responsible for all animate objects in the cosmos. Lifeforce energy has influence and power over our breathing, heartbeat, digestion, and absorption of nutrients and numerous other processes. Lifeforce energy also forms the basis of our indestructible soul. Thus, our soul is linked to the Creator, and the vital energy force is associated with it. So, it is necessary that we establish a strong bond between our body and soul, and hence build a bond with the supreme power.

There are innumerable benefits that come with the unification of the mind and body. It creates a greater sense of peace and stability in life, reduces stress, tension, anxiety, depression and removes all known types of negative energy in you and around you.

Another essential benefit of achieving this goal is the alignment of all seven chakras, as connecting with the supreme power initiates the spinning of the seventh chakra, the crown chakra. The chakras are accountable for our overall health and well-being, so this process also improves our mental, physical and emotional wellness.
