Meditation

Meditation – teaches us how to breathe again. Releasing blockages that put stress on our physical and mental bodies. It helps to slow down the mind in order to achieve clarity. Guided Meditation is a way of bringing balance to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The journey work helps you to connect on a soul level. To let go of judgements and fears that are created by the mind, and are preventing you from reaching your true potential.



Chakra Meditation - 9 Minute meditation visualising the colours of the chakras

A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. There are six of these wheels stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. And the seventh which is beyond the physical region. It is the six major chakras that correlate with basic states of consciousness...



The concept of chakra are often treated in different ways, depending on the cultural context. In Chinese medicine, traditional chakra locations correspond to acupuncture points. In some Eastern thought, chakras are considered to be gradations of consciousness and reflect states of the soul--these systems rely less on proof than on experience (under the assumption that 'proving' the existence of chakras is asking to 'prove' the existence of the thought process). A mystic may deal with chakra as a model for their internal and external experience, and when talking about 'energy centers', may be talking about subtle forces which connect to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a person.
