Overview

Chakras are energy centers described in yogic traditions, commonly seven along the spine, each linked with qualities of body, emotion, and spirit. Learning them is less about perfection and more about listening: Where do you feel open? Where do you feel braced? That awareness becomes a map for healing.

How it works

Practitioners may assess chakras through intuition, pendulums, or somatic cues, then balance with breath, sound, Reiki, crystals, or visualization. Education is part of the medicine: you leave with language for your inner weather.
