The chakras in our body cause different types of reaction which mainly depends on the energy level in the reiki chakras. A chakra can be in a balanced state or active state or can be in an over active state or perhaps under active state. Reiki has the power to keep these energy chakras in a proper balance as well as keep the corresponding organs healthy.

The endocrine system is a major part in the proper functioning of all the organs in our body. It is known that the chakras, change their energy level from on to the other thus passing “Chi” or the energy to the whole body. All this according to the reiki researches and studies is done through the endocrine system which also helps to regulate the other systems of our body. The glands in our body secrete several hormones which flow directly into the bloodstream and also are responsible for the growth, development and the various other activities of our body. Most of the physical problems caused in our body, result due to the improper flow of energy in our system which is made of meridians and the 7 chakras.
