Chakra therapy an ancient healing tradition
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘whirl’ or ‘wheel’. This subtle energy system has been verified for thousands of years documented vastly in India and throughout the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and recognised within many diverse cultures.
The Chakras are cone shaped vortexes of energy that spin and vibrate within the subtle energy anatomy of the body, they are the mechanisms that draw energy from the universal life force and distribute it via the meridians and then out into the auric field, receiving and transmitting energy. Without these energy centres the physical body could not exist, every part and process of the body and the entire being relies on this energy matrix at all times.
There are several aspects to the chakras; the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Chakras vibrate to different colours, sound and light frequencies and are in a constant state of flux. The aura is the first energetic filtering system of our environment and is attached to the body via the chakras which then filter these energies. Chakra balancing techniques clear the physical body and help strengthen the consciousness so that we can better handle everyday stress, tension and emotional changes and assists to bring the mind, body and emotions into a greater creative flow. Because we perceive a great deal of the environment through our chakras, a balanced chakra system can give us a more accurate view of the world.
It is said that the chakras hold the key to our spiritual awakening, psychological well-being and physical health, with each of the seven chakras governing a different stage of development.
