The Chakra energy system is something we all have full access to. Yet, traumas and social/parental conditioning can shut down these powerful energy centers in the body.
Each Chakra Center contains a certain energy that supports your evolutionary life path. A blocked Chakra Center interferes with your ability to express your unique, authentic life force energy in every moment. The goal is to balance these energy centers so that they can receive and transmit energy fully and with ease.
Join me in 2023 to clear energetic blocks in each of the Chakra Centers using EFT Tapping, a transformational somatic energy tool that promotes emotional and physical well-being. These community classes are FREE, every 3rd Tuesday of the month.
Each month, we will focus on one of the Chakra Centers. We begin on January 18th with the 1st Chakra. Keep reading to learn more about each Chakra Center and EFT Tapping, and how to Register.
What is EFT Tapping?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and it involves tapping on acupressure points* while you are speaking about something that’s emotionally charged. For example, the set-up statement of: “Even though I'm feeling sad and lonely,” followed by an acceptance statement of: “I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
As a result of tapping on acupressure points, while expressing your emotions, your cortisol levels are quickly lowered, promoting a feeling of well-being. Here is a recent study that shows that EFT Tapping, an “evidence-based self-help therapeutic method,” Improves Multiple Physiological Markers of Health.
*In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these are located along meridians of energy in the body. Read more about these energy channels in the body (meridians in TCM, and nadis in Ayurveda).
