YOUR CHAKRAS: THE WHEELS OF LIFE
A far more in-depth and comprehensive look at the chakra system than any other class out there!
For thousands of years, people of the east have studied and used the Chakra System of the energy body to balance their health, emotions, and overall well being. As a fundamental part of alternative health procedures, meditation, and enlightenment, the Chakra system has become an integral part of the learning process for those who seek a more healthful and fulfilling life.
Practical understanding is obtained through the recognition of where, why and how the energy system of the body works with the physical form. Along with the basics, you'll learn simple practices to balance and rejuvenate and techniques to cleanse and enhance each area of your life. Learn to recognize problem areas through the perception of your personality and the energy output it creates to recreate harmony, grace, and balance within.

Participants can experience personal demonstrations of energetic healing modalities as well as understanding the use of biofeedback, massage, reflexology, meditation, and others.
