Align Your Mind, Body & Spirit

What is chakra and how does it affect our health and well-being?
Everything around us, including our bodies, is made of energy. This energy field, known as Chakra, flows throughout our bodies promoting an overall sense of well-being. When Chakras are balanced and energy flows freely, you feel an overall sense of physical well-being and mental clarity. The problem occurs when Chakras become blocked and disrupt harmony, leading to potential disease and emotional or mental distress. Life experiences, especially those negative ones, can lead to an imbalance in energy flow. There are natural ways to free the flow of energy and achieve a sense of well-being. You amy be able to achieve a healthy energy flow through thoughts, food intake, visualization, aromatherapy, music & dance, sounds, color therapy, and even more.

There are seven chakras, all associated with a particular part of the body and represented by a color.
