Chakras - a guide for beginners
What are Chakras?
Chakra work was widely practised by ancient civilisations, and is once again becoming a popular type of healing therapy and way of life. Why? It's simple. More and more people are experiencing the benefits of keeping their Chakras balanced.
What exactly are Chakras? They are energy hubs within us that carry vital Life Force Energy through our body. Without this, we would not exist. At its core, Chakra balancing is rooted in the aim of keeping our Chakras open and aligned so our Life Force Energy is constantly free-flowing. As a result, we feel healthy, happy and fulfilled.
We have seven major Chakras which run from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each Chakra relates to our security, creativity, power, ability to love, communication, intuition and spirituality.
When our Chakras are not balanced, undesirable traits can surface, such as feelings of anger, jealousy or lack - these are a few examples, but there are many more signs that reveal imbalanced Chakras.

Why is it important to balance my Chakras?
Put simply, our feelings and emotions, no matter how good or bad the experience, affect our Chakra health. So it's important we don't hold on to the bad as these emotions can get trapped in our energy field, in our Aura and Chakras affecting how we feel.
We can all recall traumatic memories or experiences and no matter how much time has passed, we're usually able to feel that exact emotion from the past when triggered. Often these are negative emotions and experiences which get stuck in our energy field and linger in all we do - making us feel unwell or manifest into undesired feelings to more physical symptoms.
We each hold the power to be the best version of ourselves but seldom do we tap into the wonderful energy that we all hold, and use it to work for us, rather than against us.
The discovery of energy work and my own Chakras transformed my life. I am pleased to be utilising this ancient wisdom to help clients who are on their own courageous path to find a truer, more sustainable sense of happy. Get in touch if you'd like to book a session with me.

"I am so happy that I could refer my friend to you for Crystal Reiki. I enjoyed my sessions. I feel I let go of stubborn feelings I was holding on to and I understand the set of energies I need to pay attention to - thank you."

"My distant Reiki sessions were profound. I really didn't know what to expect and Zeena explained everything so patiently. The follow up calls after each session were helpful and where I uncovered much of my destructive thinking. I now understand why I have fallen into certain ways of living and behaving. My life is making much more sense and I know where I need to focus my healing."

"I've had the pleasure of both personal and distant Reiki Healing with Zeena. Not only is she knowledgeable and sensitive to aura she has a soft approach which makes you feel at ease. She's helped me feel in control and calm during times when I was stressed and overwhelmed with life. Her approach sets her apart from other therapists I've used before and she certainly has a gift!"
