Chakras are energy centers or portals in the field of energy which surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. Located along a central channel from the back of the spine to the top of the head, they are conceived of as whirling, wheel-like vortexes through which cosmic energy flows into and out of a person. The word in Sanskrit means "wheel" or "disk." The concept comes to us from Hindu and Buddhist traditions.

There are seven major energy centers, plus many minor ones.  Each corresponds to specific glands, organs, and facets of your being. Energy flows through the system in two ways. First, it flows up and down along the central channel, connecting each chakra. Second, it flows horizontally, in an exchange of energy with the cosmos. Disturbances in a chakra's flow of the energy can result in disturbances in a person’s health, emotions, mind, spirit, or life.

Many forms of energy healing work with these energy centers. An energy healer can usually feel each of the vortexes and its relative strength. I have been trained to clear and balance the flow of energy through the chakras, which often has beneficial effects on physical and mental health. You can  safely receive the healing energy from any location. Call me to book a private session. You can also experience and enhance the feeling of flow through your chakras by coming to my free chakra meditation group on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays.
