Chakra Healing

The word “Chakra” is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia branching forth from the spinal column. In addition, the Chakras also correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and much much more.

The Chakra System is an ancient map detailing the 7 primary energy centers and the 5 elements of the body-mind-spirit. Our wellbeing and happiness are dependent on the health of our mind, body, and spirit and these are dependent on the wellness of the energies in our body. When our energy is imbalanced it affects our health. As each chakra is associated with particular functions within the body and can become blocked by holding onto stress and negative emotions. Practicing numerous meditation techniques and poses that correspond to each chakra can help to release these blocks and allow energy to flow freely throughout the body providing a sense of newness, feeling a whole and strong connection to the self.
