The chakras are wheels of energy throughout the body. Our energy can be blocked or free flowing, that is why we work with specific chakras to release any tension and get this energy flowing again.
◊ Understanding chakras allows you to better understand yourself. How you think, feel and act is affected by the energy flowing through your chakras. If there is too much or too little energy flowing into each energy centre, you will feel an associated imbalance that will manifest physically, emotionally or psychologically.
◊ Learning about chakras will introduce you to the benefits of promoting stillness and quieting your mind, which can really help you to deal with stress.
◊ There are some places, like beaches and rainforests, that expand our energy. In contrast, there are people, places and activities, like busy city streets, that can shrink our energy. However, what expands or shrinks energy can be different for everyone and this is why it is so important as a kid to built trust in your own intuition by acting on it and experiencing how wise and helpful source of guidance it can be.
