The word chakra comes from the ancient Indo-European language of Sanskrit, and it means the wheel. According to the Indian Chakra system, there are 7 major chakras or energy centres, from the top of your head to the bottom of your spine, while there are other minor chakras on palms and feet etc. The Chakra balancing healing, is the process of balancing the flow of energy of each chakra, through healing and the end result is often a feeling of wellbeing, relaxation, centeredness as well as increased awareness of oneself.

Each chakra is part of a system that works as a whole, and are connected to each other, and works together energetically. When chakra balancing takes place, we focus on not just the chakra in question, but the related chakras too. Balancing the chakras, through the hands with energy healing is what takes place here. It can be hands on or off, to send healing to the chakras. Reiki and many other energy healing modalities, can be incorporated to demonstrate this process.

Throughout our daily lives, we face numerous stressful events, life challenges which demands our full attention and energy. As a result, some chakras may get low reserves of energy, while others depend on a neighbouring chakra to fulfil its function, by overworking.

The energy of a chakra, often spins in a clockwise direction, as it moves the energy on our bodies into the auric field, around us. It spins counter clockwise, to pull energy from our external world into our bodies. These energetic wheels, cannot be seen with the physical eye, and can only be felt energetically. This has been studied for thousands of years, and in the Indian Herbal medicine system known as Ayurveda and Yogic traditions, as well as the Chinese Meridian system of Qi.

The chakras are located at places in our body, where essential systems use large amounts of energy. For instance, the heart chakra contain so much energy, and it has its own force field emitting its own electromagnetic energy. The chakras can appear as open and closed, depending on the amount of energy, which flows through them.

Each chakra also has a distinctive colour associated with them, and also represent parts of your consciousness, how you perceive your world, your senses and often negative experiences we face, can cause the chakra energy to be blocked out. Through the assistance of healing, meditation, Yoga these channels can be reopened, and released to experience maximum energy flow, of the chakras.

What happens in a session?

In a session, the client will lie down in a relaxed position, either on a chair or on a healing couch, whilst remaining fully clothed but without any shoes. The healer will then request the client, to focus on their breathing, and relax into the moment, and if they are struggling to focus or relax, I often take them through a guided meditation. Prior to this, I will connect to the divine and place a protection, over the client. Once I feel the client is grounded, I will begin to open the chakras, and if they prefer I could do the opening of the chakras verbally, or can take them through the same process silently, without disrupting the client’s space.

Once a connection is made, I request the permission to heal, and mention my gratitude to my guides, as well as my higher self. Then I will place my hands on their shoulders, and begin to work on their chakras, as they settle deeply into the session. Intuition also helps to send healing to chakras, and often when I feel guided, to offer extra healing to a chakra, I would spend longer on those places, unless the client requests places of their own knowing.

Often clients will give feedback, saying sensations such as heat, or tingling have been felt, in person or distantly. I may also give feedback, where necessary to indicate blockages of energy were felt.  The intention as in all healing modalities will be, for the highest good of all, and I will send healing for all the chakras to work in harmony, with each other. At the end of a session, you may release tears, or become very emotional, or a surge of energy can also be felt, as a result of a release of stuck energies, or stuck emotions. One session can be useful, to identify where issues are held, and a follow up session few months later, may be needed to check those areas have been cleared, and there is a free flow of energy, in those chakras.
