Chakra Balancing Classes Starting Sept 23

Chakra Balancing Classes with Laura Boyle, MPH, CRP, CCBP   Chakra Balancing Level 1 Saturday September 23, 2017 10:00 am to 4:00 pm       Chakras   The word "chakra" means disk, vortex, or wheel. The chakras are energy stations that can hold negative or positive energy. Seven major chakras have been distinguished, however a chakra may appear anywhere fresh energy is required or in an area of the body that has been injured. Each chakra influences the organs, muscles, ligaments, veins, and all other body parts within the energy field.    Chronic stress can throw our chakras out of balance or cause them to hold on to negative or stagnant energies. Clearing and balancing impaired energies can help heal physical symptoms and increase the flow of energy for optimum health and well-being.   Chakra balancing is a deep healing technique that not only removes stagnant energy but also provides fresh energy to restore balance and well-being. A typical session takes about 1 hour and includes an assessment of each chakra.   The benefits of chakra balancing can include: Improving energy balance Relieving tension and stress Removing energy blocks and increases energy flow   Learn how to be a Chakra Balancing Practitioner!   Chakra Balancing Level 1 Saturday September 23, 2017         10:00 am to 4:00 pm -- Introduction to chakras -- Overview of each chakra -- Mapping your chakras exercise -- Balancing your own chakras $250.00    Chakra Balancing Level 2 Saturday September  30, 2017        10:00 am to 4:00 pm -- Overview of modalities and techniques to balance chakras -- Conducting a chakra balancing session -- Self care for effective chakra balancing -- Hands on practice $250.00 Instructor: Laura Boyle, MPH, CRP, CCBP Certified Reflexologist Certified Reiki Practitioner Certified Chakra Balancer Levels 1 and 2 required for certification.
