The Chakra System is comprised of 7 major energy points found along the spine. It is complex and considered an ancient form of connection to the holistic body. When we are in balance, the 7 chakras, which are circular in nature spin in unison. If we are out of balance, our chakras do one of several things: Spin slowly, spin to fast, or not at all. Below, is a very basic breakdown of the Chakra system.
This is a great first step in understanding the specifics of a holistic healing. We can use whatever method resonates with us. Color, crystals, essential oils, affirmations, sound bowls, music and so many other things in our environment are truly good for the SOUL.
