Chakras are points in the body that transmit and receive energies between the body and the aura. There are many chakras all over the body, but western spirituality concentrates on seven main ones. Chakras are a vital in Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist and yogic traditions. Chakras do not exist on a physical level and so cannot be measured. If a chakra becomes blocked this can lead to dis-ease (lack of harmony in the body and/or the mind).
Starting at the bottom (literally)…

Alma Entera uses a range of techniques to create harmony between the chakras once again. Once prepared for a healing session, I will use reiki and crystals to identify any blocked or unbalanced chakras. When using a crystal pendant, if it spins in a clockwise motion, it indicates that the chakra is healthy and open. Other movements from the crystal pendant mean various different things. I will then spend time balancing the subtle body with the gentle energies of crystals and reiki. Meditation may be a tool to work on particularly blocked chakras. Essential oils may be suggested to help keep balance in the body. The client may experience various sensations and experiences but the most common is a deep sense of relaxation.
There is a whole lot of information about chakras but I hope you have enjoyed reading about the basics.
