So what is a Chakra and how does energy healing work with the chakra system?
Well I'm here today to answer these questions for you and give you a bit of insight into how as an Energy healer I work with the Chakras to help you relax and connect with yourself!
The word Chakra comes from the Ancient Indian Sanskrit meaning wheel or disk and is described as energy centres or vortexes within our bodies and auric field.
The best way I like to describe what a Chakra looks like and how it operates is like a whirlpool of water. Imagine energy running through your body coming from your auric field, the earth and the heavens combining at various high vibrational points, creating a vortex of energy, a Chakra.
Now that you can picture a Chakra imagine these energy centres changing colours dependant on their location. I’ll give you a hint, the closer to our feet the earthier the colours and the higher we go the lighter and stronger the association with spiritual and/or thinking. It ultimately moves from our 3D reality, the real and tangible, to connection with the 5D, concepts, faith and higher frequencies.
There are 7 main chakras and that’s what will discuss in this article, but it’s important to know that there is believed to be up to 40 of these energy vortexes in total. That is a lot of energy we carry right!?
Let’s start to explore the 7 main Chakras from Root to Crown and what each represents.

So how does this relate to our day to day lives and how does energy healing work?
Well, when an energy centre is blocked it slows down the movement of that vortex. Which doesn’t allow the energy to freely flow and given that each chakra relates to a specific area as shown above, it can express itself in all kinds of ways that signal we are out of alignment with our flow state.
Practices such as Energy Healing help to move the energy and clear the blockages that we have. It’s usually a life-time of aligning and realigning we all do it on a daily basis as we interact with the environment around us.
Energy Healing helps us to connect deeper within ourselves to recognise and release blockages that we have built up over time subconsciously, as we are ready to heal them. As an Energy Healer my main purpose and intention is to facilitate healing so your energy can freely flow into what you are most passionate about and to live your life to its fullest.
So, consider this ...
What chakra noted above resonated with you the most?
What element were you drawn to, was it what the chakra represents? the blockages? colour or even the crystals?
I encourage you to do your own research and focus your attention on this chakra next time you meditate, and note down the feelings you experience.
