In this 3-hour workshop you are invited to investigate
the layers of the subtle body. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit, they are
spinning vortices within the subtle body that move with and allow life energy
a.k.a. prana a.k.a. chi to move freely (or no so freely) through the body. The
term chakra come from India, however there are many ancient traditions that
talk about and teach what is essentially the chakra system. There are 7 major
chakras throughout the body, they follow the central channel from our pelvic
floor up to the crown of our heads. The chakra system is like a map for the
journey through life, it covers the full range of human possibility. Each
chakra can be seen to manifest its self though various physical traits,
attitudes, mental stability and affliction, health, energetic sensibilities and
much more. Starting from our root chakra that links us to the material world up
to the crown chakra that connects us to the divine energy of consciousness.
In this workshop we will discuss theory of each chakra,
how they relate to each other, how they manifest within us, and how we can work
with the chakras through meditation, diet, asana (physical postures), sound,
breath, colors, essential oils, and crystals. We will explore these various techniques
throughout the day and leave with a greater understanding of what is happening
presently within our own subtle body, and taking away easy and practical
techniques that can be applied every day. When we work mind and body together
with a deeper understanding of the subtle body life’s basic tasks can flow more
smoothly and enjoyably.
What to expect during the workshop:
-An opening and centering meditation to ground us
in the space and bring awareness into the chakras.
