            ABOUT CHAKRA HEALING            
chakras locations map
 
Chakras are seven centres of awareness in the human body, neither physical nor anatomical. They exist in the subtle energy system, contain psychic energy, and correspond to positions within the body. These power centres influence cells, organs, and the entire hormone system and affect one's thoughts and feelings.

Chakra work or "healing" involves balancing, opening and/or realigning the chakras in order to optimize energy flow, enhance awareness and clarity, and improve overall well-being.

This simple, effective exercise therapy improves your entire energy system (mind, body and spirit). You will learn to recognize sickness and problems arising from energy blockages and find ways to dissolve these blockages. Chakra work complements chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and other medical treatments.

Healing benefits include:

  • pain relief and greater efficiency of the body's self-healing mechanism
  • peaceful relaxation
  • enhanced motivation and stamina
  • strengthened powers of intuition
  • increased and balanced energy on all four levels (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual)
  • detoxification of the body

Chakra Half-Day Workshop:
The purpose of this workshop is to gain greater self-understanding and insight, open hearts, expand visions, heal the body, and embrace the mystery of life and the magic of potential. Transformation begins when we realize that there is no separation between mind and body, matter and spirit, and heaven and earth. Students will explore their chakras through pranayama (breath control), asanas (postures), meditation, reflection, journaling, and artistic expression.

Maximum class size is 10;  individual chakra therapy is also available. Email or telephone 705-662-1359 for more information.

Chakra Weekend Intensive:
This in-depth intensive is designed for therapists, bodyworkers, and those dedicated to their healing journey, and delves deep into the inner workings of the human energy system.

With one hour devoted to each chakra (and time for integration), you will immerse yourself in each level of consciousness through yoga, bioenergetics, trance work, art, meditation, ritual, psychology, diet, and crystals.

This unique program focuses on psychological transformation through the body and spirit. It provides effective tools for diagnosing and treating energy imbalances in yourself and others, and restoring the full spectrum of aliveness and your soul’s true expression.
