BLOCKED CHAKRAS
Chakras can become blocked through an emotional upset, such as conflict, loss, or accident. Fear, anxiety, and stress are common causes of chakra malfunction. When blocks accumulate in the field, a disruption in the flow of energy through the Chakras result. It is these blocks that disrupt the Harmony in the field and eventually are the cause of disease, as well as, emotional and mental disorders in the physical body.

BALANCING CHAKRAS
It is a non-manipulative technique used to channel healing energy to the client through the practitioner's hands. Using certain touch points on or off the body, the field is cleared of blocks, the chakras are restructured, and a new level of awareness is reached.

GROUNDED
Grounded means being fully present: physically, emotionally, and energetically. It means your mind is not wandering or pulling your energy elsewhere. Your heart and soul are not searching somewhere in the past or looking into the future. (Take a deep breath ... there, you're grounded!) Being fully present is life. To be present in the moment is as easy as breathing, and it's an act of power to be aware of it.
