CHAKRA BALANCING THERAPY
The chakras are subtle energies in sensitive neural bundles, nerve plexi. The Sanskrit word for chakra means “wheel of light”. These subtle energies are non-physical, but they influence physical, emotional and mental functioning of our bodies. They are forever changing, balancing and interacting.
As chakras spin, they produce their own electromagnetic field force and the amount of energy produced there determines its robust qualities, or limited energy. When the body is healthy, energy flows evenly thru all the chakras. When there is blockage or reduction of energy, a particular chakra, or a group of chakras will produce less energy.
Many different cultures have known for thousands and thousands of years the existence of chakras – Indian, Native American, Tibetan, ancient Egyptian, and Asian culture through Buddhist philosophy. In the Indian system there are 7 chakras. Tibetan system has 6 chakras.
A chakra balancing treatment can be done by itself or incorporated into another treatment modality session. It can be an Acupuncture treatment, or a Shiatsu treatment, Reiki or Seiki. On the other hand, the chakra balancing can be done exclusively by itself.
In an
Acupuncture treatment, needles can be placed on visible areas of
the seven major chakras. And too, Earth Crystals can be used in
conjunction with the session. Another treatment format is just to
use Earth Crystals placed upon the major chakra centers, as well
as in the palm of the hands in order to restore energy balance to
the body. One breathes deeply and slowly while in a state of rest
and relaxation. The treatment is extremely calming and
restorative.
There are seven basic centers starting at the perineum and ending on the crown of the skull referred to as the “lotus chakra”. On our palms and on other joints areas of the body chakras exist. In addition, there are outside of the body in Sanskrit called the “Atman” and “Brahman”, and 122 smaller secondary chakras throughout the body.
Primary and secondary chakras share the same characteristics. Primary chakras run along the spine and secondary chakras usually are found at joints of the body – hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, feet – each place a bone touches another bone or a nerve plexus exists. Dysfunction in the secondary chakras can affect the efficiency of the entire chakra system.
