Energy in Balance: Compassionate Healing with Reiki: Seeing the Person Beyond the Chakras

Reiki is not simply about identifying an imbalanced chakra or following a fixed sequence of hand positions. It is about meeting the whole person with presence, respect and compassion.

Energy in Balance offers a grounded and practical approach to working with Reiki and the seven main energy centres. Rather than treating the centres as isolated problems to be corrected, Julie Jenkins helps you understand how they work together—and how physical sensations, emotions, life experiences and individual needs can shape each person’s experience.

Written as though Julie is personally mentoring you, this book will help you bring greater awareness, confidence and compassion into both self-Reiki and client sessions.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Understand the themes associated with the seven main energy centres
• Recognise possible signs that an area may need compassionate support
• Use grounding and body awareness before, during and after Reiki
• Create safe, nurturing and meaningful self-Reiki practices
• Plan Reiki sessions without relying on rigid scripts
• Work respectfully with consent, comfort and personal boundaries
• Respond to the whole person rather than concentrating only on individual chakras
• Reflect on your experiences through practical journal prompts and action steps
• Develop a calmer, more confident and compassionate Reiki practice

The book also includes guided meditations, body-awareness exercises, adaptable session structures, self-Reiki practices and practical examples that bring the teachings into everyday life.

Whether you are completely new to Reiki, a trained practitioner, a complementary therapist or someone exploring self-healing, Energy in Balance will help you move beyond technique alone.

You will learn to trust your knowledge without becoming rigid, listen without making assumptions and offer Reiki without trying to control the outcome.

This is more than a guide to the chakras. It is an invitation to see the person, honour their experience and allow compassion to become part of every Reiki session—including the sessions you offer yourself.
