๐ฃ๏ธ Uncomfortable post but it needs to said.
I get my business isn't for everyone, I'm happy with that, but the amount of comments I've had to remove mainly from literally 50 plus years olds has been disgusting at this point!! I'd say grow up but if your past your 50's carrying on the way some have then you'll never grow up at this point! I've even copped that I'm a Nigerian scammer ๐
To be clear, I'm Australian, born and bred. I'm not here to scam anyone, there is no forced bookings here ๐
Commenting about a practise they haven't studied nor have any idea about is just frustrating.
If you don't understand it, feel free to ask respectfully I'm happy to provide the information, if your commenting just to be an ass, I'm also happy to remove your comments and ban you.
I don't have the patience for the uneducated, disrespect!
I'm spiritual not stupid!
Thanks to majority of people who have been nothing but kind and respectful, I genuinely appreciate it โค๏ธ

๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฃ๏ธ Welcome to Chakra week! ๐
๐ธFirstly, What is a Chakra?
The word โchakraโ means โwheel of lightโ in Sanskrit, an ancient language of India. The concept comes from the Hindu and Buddhist spiritual traditions, which see chakras as energy centers or portals in your body. According to these Eastern traditions and some Western biofield therapy approaches, chakras need to stay balanced or in sync for the body-mind connection to function at its best. Energy medicine and Eastern traditions propose that if a chakra is blocked or with depleted energy, physical and emotional symptoms associated with that particular chakra will develop.
๐ธWhat does a Chakra do?
These chakras are thought to work as energy vortices that regulate your bodyโs energy and the connection between your different bodies (physical, spiritual, mental, and energetic) and your environment. Each chakra is believed to resonate with a specific color and element. Energy medicine (EM), the manipulation of subtle energy to restore the bodyโs imbalances, has also studiedTrusted Source the chakra system as an important aspect of the human energy field or biofield.
๐ธIs there evidence Chakras exist?
Existing evidence suggests these specific points or areas in the body do emit electromagnetic radiation and have an effect on plexuses. Plexuses are interconnected nerves and blood vessels that supply sensation and blood to different parts of the body.
Research also suggests an interconnection between chakra locations and the nervous system (brain and nerves).EM views chakras as vital energy centers that are closely connected to biophysical systems (biological and physical processes), especially to the endocrine system (glands). This system regulates hormone production in the body. According to these views of the chakras, disease develops when the energy flow in one or more chakras is compromised. Stress, adverse experiences, negative thoughts and emotions, grief, and other significant changes can deplete chakra energy.

Oooh thought I'd share a great beginner's Chakra meditation!
My best tip for anyone starting out with meditation is focus on your breath, literally think in, out, in, out, when you find yourself drifting into other thoughts, bring yourself back to your breath. It helps ground you back into the moment. You will drift thoughts, it's completely normal!
Also hit those free beginner guided meditations on YouTube and Spotify! So many good ones!
