According to ancient wisdom the chakras (Sanskrit for wheels) are energy points through which our life force travels, helping to promote physical, mental & emotional wellbeing.
We now know that these chakras coincide with specific energy systems in the body, which are centres for information with their own glands, hormones, chemicals & energy, responsible for different aspects of our physical, mental & emotional health.
The first 3 centres are all about survival:
The root chakra at the base of our spine is all about our roots to the physical world, our sense of belongs, grounding & trust.
The sacral chakra centred below our belly button is our emotional & creative centre.
The solar plexus is the centre for willpower, determination, courage, self-esteem, our fire element if you like.
The heart centre is the gateway from the lower chakras to the higher chakras. It is our centre for compassion kindness, empathy, love gratitude & forgiveness.
The higher chakras are all about tapping into our higher self:
The throat chakra is all about speaking our truth & tapping into our authentic voice with honesty & clarity.
The 3rd eye chakra governs our perception, our ability to see things clearly, not distorted by the stories we tell our self, our inner wisdom
The crown chakra governs our identity & purpose, our sense of spirituality & enlightenment.
Throughout our life when we experience trauma, hardship or abuse, this tends to cause restrictions & blockages in our lower chakras. This means our life force isn’t flowing.
When energy is stuck in the first chakra this can lead to feelings of distrust, insecurity & lack.
When someone experiences trauma, energy which should be travelling through the chakras gets stuck in the 2nd centre, the sacral centre causing feelings of grief, guilt, suffering & pain.
If energy gets stuck in the 3rd centre, the solar plexus this can cause the person to be ego-led, feeling the need to control everything.
If energy is stuck in any of these centres, these individual systems are no longer balanced or functioning at their optimum levels.
By balancing & cleansing these centres, energy or life force begins to flow through each system, bringing the whole body back into alignment to function as it should. You will start to feel more balanced & aligned, more centred & these centres will start to work together coherently, promoting optimum health, physically, mentally & emotionally.
In May I am launching our first Chakra Cleanse Retreat. A live in-person event with the opportunity to find more about each chakra. I will share mantras, which combined with beautiful, gentle Yin yoga poses to cleanse, balance & align each chakra & wonderful Kundalini practices to encourage the flow of energy through the chakras.
We will rest in savasana practicing a blessings of the energy centres meditation. This wonderful meditation boosts the flow of energy to & through each chakra, promoting health & vitality.
Throughout we will be accompanied by the ethereal healing sounds of a live sound & gong bath to raise the energetic fields & boost healing.
