Chakra Balancing
What is Chakra Balancing?
To balance the chakras, you can schedule a shamanic healing session with Iah Ka. She utilizes her many energy healing techniques of sacred geometry, harmonic frequencies, brainwave repatterning, crystal healing, Reiki, and more.
The sanskrit word “chakra,” dating back to ancient India and the Hindu Yogis, means literally “spinning wheel.” Imagine the chakras as interconnecting wheels, when all seven chakras are spinning in harmony, at the same speed, the system runs smoothly as a single mechanism. Where there is dysfunction or blockage in one part of the system, it has an impact on all other parts. This malfunctioning can occur when we have negative thoughts and feelings on our mind.
Without balance you become polarized, or stuck, in the area of your life that is out of balance. This is why we tend to repeat the same negative situations, scenarios and issues in our lives. Not until we learn how to unblock, balance and expand our chakras will we be out of the cycle of repeating the same challenging situations in our life.

FOOTNOTE:
Our chakras sense energy and serve to tell us about the world around us. When a chakra is healthy and balanced, it spins in a circular motion. However, if there is a disturbance or blockage in the energy within a chakra, the circular motion may become elliptical, flattened on its sides, or in the opposite direction. The faster the chakra spins, the more energy they can receive and transmit.
If we close any chakras, we do not let that information come in. When we make our chakras flow the opposite direction, we send our energy out into the world, sense what the energy is that we send out and say that it is the world. This is called projection in psychology. Thus, what we conclude the world is like, is related to our own imagined reality that we project onto our world.
