How do pendulums work with chakras?

The answer depends on the lens you're looking through.

The human body is an electrical system. Our brains, hearts, muscles, and nervous systems all communicate through electrical and electrochemical signals. Ancient traditions described energy centers within the body long before modern science mapped nerve plexuses, endocrine glands, and the complex communication networks that connect mind and body.

Whether you view chakras as energy centers, symbolic maps of human experience, or reflections of the body's interconnected nervous and endocrine systems, they offer a framework for exploring the relationship between our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

My pendulums is a tool I used for awareness as it creates a moment of stillness and focus on one area and that give me the chance to notice what the body and emotions may already be trying to say.

When we look at how these things show up in the body through our breathing patterns, areas of tension, emotions, and physical sensations, we begin to see more clearly where the healing work needs to happen.

I had such a wonderful time on the Superior View Podcast.
It was a privilege to speak about Sacred Hearth and everything we have built for women's health there and getting to speak about my own Reiki practice and the ways in which energy healing has helped in my own life.

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
Albert Einstein

I don't believe this quote means we should sacrifice ourselves until there is nothing left to give.

I do however believe that it speaks to the truth that we are all connected.
Every act of kindness ripples outward. Every time we choose compassion over judgment, understanding over anger, or healing over hurt, we leave the world a little better than we found it.

As healers, parents, friends, partners, and community members, we have the opportunity to touch lives in ways we may never even fully comprehend or witness.

The beautiful thing is that service and healing don't end after completing a session but instead they inspire a continuum of positive energy, healing behaviours and inclusivity. When we help others heal, we also find pieces of our own healing along the way.

A worthwhile life is not measured by what we accumulate.
It is measured by the love we share and the good we put into the world for the collective.

For many of us, healing doesn't arrive all at once when we begin the journey. It isn't all of our chakras suddenly opening in one massive light show. Healing takes patience, intention, and upkeep.

That slow unfolding is important because it allows us to learn about ourselves in a way that doesn't completely overwhelm us.

Over time, we find a little more peace where there used to be anxiety. A little more trust where there used to be fear. A little more space to breathe, rest, and be ourselves.

As our energy awakens, we begin to notice possibilities that were always there but hidden beneath stress, survival mode, and self-doubt. We notice shifts in how we handle conflict, how we show up for ourselves, and how we connect with others. We become more present in our lives, our relationships, and our own inner wisdom.

Healing isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about teaching our nervous systems on soul level that we are safe, that we are grounded.
That we can handle what life places before us.

It's remembering that we always have a way back to ourselves, no matter the season. And the more often we return, the easier it becomes to remain rooted in balance, love, and abundance, regardless of what is happening around us.

One breath. One choice. One step at a time.

There is no perfect version of you waiting on the other side of healing.

No perfect body, no perfectly regulated nervous system at every bump in the road to come. No perfectly timed breakthrough where suddenly everything becomes easy forever on.

Life is balanced between the moments our strengths are apparent and moments where pain and complications show us where there is still work to be done. Both are necessary in learning to love who we are as a whole.

Some days we show up excited, optimistic and creative, others we show up and realize we are still carrying exhaustion, grief, masking our feelings or simply trying our best to make it through a difficult time.

We were never meant to carry everything alone or hold ourselves together every second of the day, the good and the painful are both gifts we can learn to save space for and share appropriately.

As humans we heal in connection, in safe spaces and in community.

None of it is about becoming flawless.

It’s learning you are worthy of care exactly as you are on the good days and the hard days too.
It's knowing you deserve to prioritize your self care too so that while we will never be perfect, we will see that still we can grow, become better at handling hard moments and genuinely foster a loving friendship with our unique imperfections.

The founder of Reiki, was a Japanese spiritual teacher whose healing system was deeply influenced by Buddhist philosophy, meditation, energy work, and the pursuit of inner balance.

His teachings weren’t just about physical healing. They focused on cultivating peace within the mind and body through mindfulness, compassion, intention, and connection to universal life energy.

Modern neuroscience now shows that practices involving meditation, breathwork, calm presence, and intentional touch can help regulate the nervous system, lower stress responses, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Long before brain scans and vagus nerve research existed, Usui understood something many healing traditions have carried for centuries: when the body feels safe, supported, and connected, the healing flows naturally.

How co-regulation of the nervous system works in a Reiki setting.

Gentle touch and calm human connection can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body shift out of chronic fight-or-flight.

Research on co-regulation shows our nervous systems constantly respond to cues of safety through breath, tone of voice, facial expression, and presence. Slow, safe touch can also stimulate nerve fibers linked to emotional regulation and vagal nerve activity, which may help reduce stress and muscle tension.

This is why many people experience yawning, emotional release, warmth, deeper breathing, or deep relaxation during Reiki sessions. The body often knows how to heal once it feels safe enough to rest.

Neuroscience already shows that humans constantly exchange information beyond words through rhythm, emotion, facial expression, heart rate, breath, and nervous system synchronization. Our bodies are electrical by nature. The brain communicates through electrical impulses, the heart generates measurable electromagnetic fields, and human physiology is deeply responsive to connection.

It is amazing how one human presence can profoundly change the state of another human nervous system.
