Reiki Energetic System and Meditation

Reiki Energetic System and Meditation

In the Japanese system of Reiki, there are three significant energy centers.

They are The Three Tanden or The Three Diamonds.

Ka Tanden

• Lower Tanden: The first is referred to as the Hara or lower Tanden. It is considered highly important and represents a pathway to reaching your highest aim in life. The location is 2 inches below the navel.
• It corresponds to Earth energy. It connects you to the universal life force energy. It helps with grounding your energy.

Chu Tanden

• Heart Energy or Middle Tanden: The location is the middle of the chest or heart.
• It corresponds to the energy of the Heart or Oneness. It connects to your emotional body and your ability to balance emotions. Positive emotions, such as love create balance.

Sho Tanden

• Upper Tanden: The location is the middle of the forehead or third eye.
• It corresponds to Heavenly energy. It is connected to your spirit and intuitive functions.

Meridians

In Chinese medicine, the meridians are subtle energy channels that distribute Ki, Chi, or Qi (vital life force or energy)throughout the body.
