Healing happens vibrationally. Our energy and lives are dependent upon unseen forces to keep us in balance, along with our normal healthy living. These forces are our chakra's, which when in balance, keep not only our bodies but our minds and spirits in optimal being.
So what are chakra's? At the central core of our body spin seven main wheel-like energy centers called chakra's. Chakra's have the ability to receive, assimilate and transmit energy. Each chakra is a vortex, spinning life-force energy into or out of the body. In fact, the word chakra is from the Sanskrit word meaning "wheel of light".
The physical body is a unit made of many different integral parts that are designed to be self-correcting. The body's job is to maintain balance and the free-flow of energy. The chakra's are an energetic gateway, feeding the body energy and providing an outlet for the release and dispersal of spent energy. They enable our bodies to translate spiritual information or energy into our physical lives, and vice versa.

There are 7 main chakras connected to and a part of the physical body. All are located on the torso and head. Each chakra transmits and receives life-force energy, often called chi or prana. There are also many minor chakra's, most of which are located at the joints, as well as above and below the physical body. They are all connected to each other.
When we are in a state in ill health, the chakra's may be distorted, out of alignment or even stagnant. When this happens, life force energy cannot flow in and out freely and the physical body may suffer. Stress, inability to express emotions, beliefs incongruent with Truth, disconnection from a higher power, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, exposure to toxicity, etc. can cause the chakra system to close down. Each chakra resonates with a particular frequency of vibration and are an integral part of vibrational medicine. Chakra's are balanced by inviting them back to their natural state of vibration & frequency.
