What are chakras? The word chakra comes to us from Sanskrit, and it simply means wheel, disc, or circle. In the ancient Vedic traditions the chakras are a system of 7 such energetic wheels aligned along the spine from tailbone to crown. 

While not scientifically provable, there is a tremendous amount of anecdotal evidence and thousands of years of tradition that point to these being real, important structures. As someone who has been working with this system within myself for over 30 years, I feel they are an important part of human health, and learning to work with the chakras can be a very useful part of anybody’s healing journey.

Often, working with the chakras involves using visualization alone, or combining it with breath, and while we will be using these approaches, we will also be keeping the practice grounded in the physical body and in connection to the environment with a trauma-informed lens, so as to keep the practices safe and not overstimulating. Each chakra corresponds to anatomical structures within the human body, so we will be bringing these structures into our explorations.

The health of these energy centers also influences the health of our electromagnetic field (this field is scientifically verifiable) or aura, so we will also spend a bit of time exploring how we can tap into and support this field for our health and well being.
