The Body’s Life Force

In addition to our aura (the energy surrounding our body) and meridians (the energy pathways that distribute energy throughout our body) our chakras are part of our body’s network of electrical energy centers.

Through charka study, we have the power to heal ourselves, gain strength, and discover insights to for self-awareness.

This study focuses on the multidimensional energy flow from the inside to the outside, the outside to the inside, throughout root to crown, and everywhere in between.

Negative emotions, just like positive ones, are necessary for life. They are designed to keep us safe and help motivate us. However, sometimes the weight of our emotions cloud our ability to release what feels scary, heavy, even painful.

This weight can be difficult to process without self-awareness, especially when we choose to hold onto our suffering because we feel we deserve it, we allow it to become a part of us, take hold, and root in ourselves. The pain or suffering seeded in our childhood and past experiences is not always easy to identify or tease out from our from our current experiences. We may not even be conscious or aware of its continued impact in our lives.

As our suffering grows, it manifests and affects our physical being. We may start by treating the symptoms of the physical ailments that keep us from moving forward and freely within our lives, but we still need to do the work of processing and healing the shame, guilt, and fear we have come to know so we no longer continue to welcome the negativity within ourselves.

Benefits of this action are:
+ Identify built-up energy stores
+ Release and flow energy
+ Find balance and harmony
