Chakras ~ Our Sacred Energy Centers

The chakras are our sacred energy centers.  When the seven major chakras are open and their energy is balanced, they flow with Life Force Energy or (Chi) and this energy emanates into, through, and out from our bodies, and our aura.  The flow of our chakras is naturally connected to our thoughts, feelings, our physical body, activities, and our interactions with others.  The chakras give the physical body vitality, and support us in our journey towards self-awareness and enlightenment.

Being a clairvoyant, I have the ability to see the chakra systems of all those around me.  They appear to me as whirling wheels of energy, that spin at different speeds, and emanate various shades of the seven colors of the rainbow.  I also feel each one of the chakras and their vibrational frequencies.  When I offer a Spiritual Reading, or Reiki Healing to a client, or loved one, each one of their chakras holds a message about the energy patterns they are carrying.  Having the ability to connect with the chakras assists me in helping others on their path to true health.  You can begin to open up your own abilities to communicate with, and to heal the chakras by learning about their energy.

Now let’s focus on each chakra, learning its color, characteristics, and their relationship to our physical, mental, and emotional health.
