At the central core of our body spin seven main wheel-like energy centers called chakras. Chakras have the ability to receive, assimilate and transmit energy.

Each chakra is a wheel or vortex, spinning life energy into or out of the body. In fact, the word chakra is from the ancient, sacred Sanskrit word meaning "wheel or disk".

Traditionally, there are 7 major chakras throughout and a vital part of our physical body. All 7 major chakras are located on the torso and head. Each chakra receives and transmits our life energy, commonly called chi, qi, prana, or universal intelligence. There are also thousands of minor chakras, most of which are located along the accupressure meridians of our physical self.

When we are in ill health, often the chakras are distorted, out of balance or alignment. When this happens, life energy cannot flow freely and the physical body will suffer. Stress, stifled emotions, beliefs opposite to your truth, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, exposure to toxicity, trauma all can cause the chakras
to react.

Each chakra vibrates with a particular frequency and each are an integral part of what may be called mind/body, energy or vibrational medicine. Chakras can be balanced again by our assisting them back into their natural state of vibration & frequency.

The physical body is made up of many different valuable parts that are designed to be healthy, self-correcting and ultimately whole. The body's primary job is to maintain a balance and support the free-flow of energy. The chakras are an energetic gateway, feeding the body energy and providing an outlet for the release and sharing of energy.

The tools most commonly used to balance the chakras are:

Energy & Touch Therapy, Color, Crystals & Stones, Light, Meditation, Sound, Aromatherapy, Sacred Space or Feng Shui, Sacred Geometry
