WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?
Chakras are our centers of consciousness. They hold the energy of our thoughts, emotions, experiences, and memories. The energy stored in your chakras manifests your experiences. Your body is also a manifestation of your spirit and thus chakra balancing can restore health.
HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF CHAKRAS
The chakra system was discovered in India more than 4000 years ago. We have many chakras but 7 major ones from the base of the spine to the top of our head.
Chakra is defined as a “wheel” in Sanskrit. ‘Nadis’ or channels intersect at these vortexes.
SIGNIFICANCE OF A HEALTHY CHAKRA SYSTEM
Each chakra can be balanced, underactive, or overactive. It can be flowing at a healthy speed, stagnant, or blocked depending on our experiences, perspectives, and physical health. The chakra system is healthy when all 7 chakras are open, and balanced in size.

HOW CAN CHAKRA BALANCING SUPPORT ME?
You may have already noticed the relationship between stress and your physical body. Perhaps nervousness leads to a sensitive stomach, or anger causes tightness in your chest. You may also notice the stress results from symptoms, and health conditions. Balancing the chakra system can heal the underlying thoughts and emotions that physically manifest as disease. However, it’s benefits are not limited to the physical body.
Chakra balancing is a process of clearing blockages and bringing the chakras to flow at a healthy rate. The health of your chakras and energy field determine how you feel and experience your life’s situations. This work allows us to tend to our consciousness and learn the lessons that we are here to learn before they manifest in the form of illness or loss.
Balanced chakras allow for physical and emotional well-being.
