Chakra Balancing
The word Chakra in Sanscrit translates to wheel or disc. Chakras are energy centers along the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be focal points for the reception and transmission of life force energy or Qi. They are responsible for the person's physical, mental, and spiritual functions.
According to the traditional writings there are 88,000 chakras in the human body covering basically every area in the body. The majority of them are small and insignificant. Forty of them have significant function and they are in the hands, feet, fingertips, and shoulders. The most significant ones are the Seven Main Chakras located along the central line of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. They are located in the ethereal body and they express the embodiment of spiritual energy on the physical plane.
Chakra balancing can occur through a variety of holistic practices, and typically include some form of guided meditation or energy work. Clients generally leave the session feeling refreshed and simultaneously rested and energized.
