Why creating space is where flow begins
We All Need Space to Exhale
(And That’s Where the Flow Begins ✨)
Let’s be real: life is loud. Notifications, expectations, trauma, grind culture. Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is step back and exhale.
In Reiki, that exhale?
That’s called the flow.
What Is the Flow in Reiki?
The flow is when your energy (aka life force frequency) moves freely through your body without resistance.
According to Reiki principles:
- Energy naturally wants to balance itself
- Blockages happen when emotions, stress, or trauma get stored instead of released
- Reiki restores flow by raising your frequency and clearing stagnant energy
High frequency = clarity, calm, alignment
Low or blocked frequency = stress, fatigue, emotional loops
What Does a Blocked Chakra Look Like IRL?
Blocked energy doesn’t look “woo.”
It looks like everyday burnout.
Examples of Blocked Flow:
- Heart chakra blocked → overgiving, emotional walls, trust issues
- Throat chakra blocked → people-pleasing, fear of speaking up
- Solar plexus blocked → low confidence, procrastination, anxiety
- Root chakra blocked → constant survival mode, money stress, no safety
People often say:
“I feel stuck.”
“I’m tired but wired.”
“I don’t feel like myself.”
That’s not laziness.
That’s energy congestion.
What Changes After Reiki Sessions?
After Reiki (especially consistent sessions), people report:
✨ deeper sleep
✨ emotional release without breakdowns
✨ clearer decisions
✨ lighter body + calmer mind
✨ confidence without forcing it
The biggest shift? Life stops feeling heavy.
That’s flow restored.
At Let It Go with Reiki, students don’t just receive Reiki, they learn how to care for their own energy. I am so thankful and proud to be a Reiki Master Teacher sharing my knowledge of over three decades going with the flow! Contact me to start your study today here.
Reiki Self-Care Practices You Learn:
- Daily self-Reiki hand placements

- Frequency awareness (knowing when you’re out of alignment)
This isn’t toxic positivity.
It’s energetic hygiene.
