You already know of the seven major chakras that sit in alignment with your spinal column. But did you know there are many more small chakras, or energy points located throughout your body?
On the palms of your hands and the tips of your fingers there are a number of these small energy points. Each one corresponds with one of the major chakras.
These points are pathways through which healing energy passes in and out of your hands. They are used within many healing modalities as tools for healing and regeneration.
Healing Hands
Anyone can become familiar with using these energy points for healing.
We begin by doing a few exercises to activate them.
First, it’s necessary to awaken the healing energy by rubbing your hands together. Once your hands feel warm you can begin to improve the sensitivity of your hands, so they become more responsive to the energy.
Place your thumb in the centre of the opposite palm and gently circle it in a clockwise direction a few times. Do this for both hands.
As you begin to activate the energy you’ll start to feel unusual sensations in your palms. This is completely normal. The sensations are different for everyone and could feel like tingling, heat, tickling, pressure, or many others. This is a sign that you are shifting any energy blocks. It also indicates that the energy is beginning to move and flow through the chakras. If the sensations become too intense or really hot, give your hands a shake to release some of the excess energy.
