Hello world!
I’m here to share with you this beautiful program, ✨Chakradance Kids✨, which weaves together two of the things that make me feel the most alive – dance and energy work!
What is Chakradance? It’s a movement therapy modality where each session focuses on freeing the energy of one chakra, using chakra-specific frequencies of music, guided visualizations, and affirmations. ✨Chakradance Kids✨ has adapted this concept for the young ones. Each 60 minute class focuses on a developmental theme and helps kids to awaken their inner energy, release negative emotions, and explore who they are in the world through a process of storytelling, yoga, dance, art, meditation, and a sprinkle of magic. 🌈
Are you familiar with the chakra system? It’s the means by which our bodies intake energy from the world around us. The way that energy flows through each of the seven centres governs our experience – our felt sense of safety, creativity, power, love, expression, intuition, and connection to a higher power. Tuning in to the chakras can be a foundational tool in any wellness practice. It’s my hope that I can share this gift with you, and with our young people especially. 🥰
I’d like to share my first experience with it: I picked up a book about chakras in my mid-twenties when I was feeling lost and completely unknown to myself. It was the first time I was drawn to learn about subtle energies, and I was caught by how simple it could be. I laid still and tried tuning into my body, picturing the vibrant rainbow colours radiating from my chakras one by one. It took some practice, but soon I could feel my body vibrating with what felt like heat and light – energy! It was exhilarating. And I was enchanted. For many years, closing my eyes and working through the rainbow of my body was the only tool I had for grounding myself when I felt like I was being swept away in the current of life. It allowed my light to stay lit. 🔥
It’s taken me many years to come to a place where I feel comfortable sharing about it openly (my throat chakra needed much healing). I’m so grateful that the nature of our energetic bodies is beginning to be more widely accepted and understood now. How powerful it would have been to integrate that radiant feeling into my formative years! I truly believe that learning the basic skill of tuning in to oneself will allow our young ones to flourish in awareness, confidence, and presence for the rest of their lives.🌱
I do hope you’ll join me on this journey!
