Balancing
the chakras, like cultivating physical health and well-being, is a lifelong process. Just as the state of our physical health
largely depends on our habits, so does the state of our chakra balance. For example, if we tend to be far more physical than
spiritual, our root chakra will be much more developed than our crown chakra. For an overall sense of health, well-being and
joy, we want to be a well-balanced, well-developed person on every level.
A Chakra
Balancing Session can assess which chakras are out of balance and help to draw energy to those areas, creating
a more harmonious energy balance in the emotional and spiritual body, as well as the physical body. A typical session incorporates
the use of drums, rattles, pendulums and essential oils and lasts 45 minutes. You leave knowing more about the state of your
energetic body and with a sense of deep relaxation, calm and peace. We recommend combining this treatment with our Hot
Stone Massage, Hawaiian Massage or Reiki Healing Session, but is effective as a stand alone treatment, too.
