On February 15, 2023February 10, 2023 By RosemaryIn Alternative Therapy, Chakras, Holistic TherapyLeave a comment

Chakras are energy centres in the body that are believed to play a vital role in our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, there are seven main chakras, each associated with different aspects of our lives, such as our emotions, relationships, and spiritual growth.

Balancing the chakras involves aligning the flow of energy within each of the chakras and restoring balance to the whole system. When the chakras are balanced, it is believed that we experience greater physical, mental, and emotional health.

Here are some of the ways in which balancing your chakras can improve your well-being:

Reduces stress and anxiety: Balancing the chakras can help to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting feelings of calm and peace. When our chakras are out of balance, we may experience feelings of restlessness, irritability, and tension. By restoring balance to the chakras, we can reduce these symptoms and improve our overall well-being.
Boosts self-esteem and confidence: The third chakra, located in the solar plexus, is associated with our self-esteem and confidence. When this chakra is balanced, we feel more secure and confident in ourselves and our abilities.
Improves relationships: The fourth chakra, located in the heart, is associated with our relationships and love. When this chakra is balanced, we are able to form strong and meaningful connections with others, and our relationships are characterised by love, compassion, and understanding.
Increases creativity and intuition: The sixth chakra, located in the forehead, is associated with our intuition and creativity. When this chakra is balanced, we are able to tap into our inner creativity and intuition, and our imagination flows freely.
Promotes spiritual growth: The seventh chakra, located at the crown of the head, is associated with our spiritual growth. When this chakra is balanced, we feel a greater connection to our spiritual selves and a deeper understanding of our place in the world.

Balancing the chakras can be done through practices such as yoga, meditation, visualization, and aromatherapy. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can improve your overall well-being and experience greater physical, mental, and emotional health. In conclusion, balancing your chakras can have a profound impact on your well-being, promoting feelings of peace, confidence, and spiritual growth. By incorporating practices such as yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy into your daily routine, you can improve your overall health and well-being.

Six Ways to Protect your Energy and Stay Positive in your Life.

On March 5, 2021April 25, 2021 By RosemaryIn Chakras, Healing, Natural HealingLeave a comment

Protecting your energy.

Having trained as an energy healer, I am in touch with my intuition and body. We are all made of energy vibrating at certain frequencies. Our energy centres called chakras all vibrate at a different frequency. My previous blog post explains more about each chakra. To stay balanced and grounded we need to stay connected to the earth. When you are feeling unbalanced try some of the techniques below, to help balance your body.

1. Go out into Nature

We should try and spend time daily in nature, connecting to the energy of the trees, flowers, and mother earth. This is a beneficial way to centre and ground yourself. Working in the garden or an allotment with the earth also helps.

2. Grounding Yourself

I like to do this technique standing barefoot on grass, or a wooden floor indoors.

Stand with feet slightly apart and focus on your feet connecting with the ground.
Bring your attention to your belly and imagine and feel a golf ball size weight 3cm below your navel and in the centre of your body.
Gently and easily drop this ball from your belly down past your feet into the ground. Simply drop it and let gravity take it down deeper and deeper until you reach the molten core of the Earth.
On your inhale draw energy from the earth, up into your belly.
On the exhale, drop back down to the centre of the Earth. Repeat for 10 breaths.
Now repeat and draw Earths energy up and into your heart.
On your exhale, let the energy run energy down your arms and out of your palms. Repeat for 10 breaths.
Closing. On the inhale, swing arms out to sides and upwards with palms up and bring over your head. On the exhale, bring your hands down the front of your body Repeat 6-10 times

Continue to feel your feet connecting with the ground beneath them. If you wish you can now sit on the ground and imagine roots connecting you the earth, and feel the earth nourishing you.

3. Root Chakra Balancing

The root chakra is red and positioned at the perineum. This chakra connects us to the earth and helps ground us like in the technique above. You can help balance this chakra by eating root vegetables and wearing red. Listening to music with frequencies between 256 and 396 Hz is helpful, and doing some yoga. Grounding your energy allows you to connect with your source or essence.

4. Baths

Take a handful of sea or Epsom salt, pour it into your bathtub, and lie in it for twenty minutes. You can also add a spoonful of baking soda. If you feel strong negative energies around you, take a bath with sulphur.

5. Plants

Many plants absorb and clear negative energy and produce negative ions for air purification. Place various plants with large green leaves—such as aloe vera, banana, peace lily, Cactus, snake plant, bamboo, and holy basil —around the house and on windowsills.

6. Keep your vibration high

Remember, we attract the vibration we are giving out. Therefore, if we are giving out love, we are much more likely to receive it back. Try to clear all your grudges; the only person they are hurting is you.

We often have imbalances in our chakras.

This could be between the front and rear aspect of our chakras, or between the chakras themselves.

These imbalances can create an unbalanced personality and physical body.

Taking bookings now for Chakra Balancing sessions for when we can open in April.

What are Chakras?

The chakra system is a template for the flow of subtle energy that runs through all life and through the human energy system. It is like a ladder that takes us from the physical realm of substance up through the workings of the higher mind and spirit and into the realm of divine consciousness.

The subtle energy is the force field surrounding all living things. In the human body, this force field is the aura, and the seven layers of energy referred to as subtle bodies. These control our physical well-being, emotional stability, and mental clarity. They reflect our spiritual state and mirror how we feel about ourselves and life in general.

A chakra resembles a large cone and acts like a vortex drawing energy in. The outer lip catches the accumulated stress of the day. The body of the cone is all our ideas and attitudes about life. The seeds of our destiny are at the very tip where the chakra meets the energetic spine. These seeds cannot be opened until we have worked on removing our negativity and self-limiting beliefs. These beliefs and negativity block our energy.

Chakra energy and function.

When something in life happens that blocks the flow of life energy, the chakras slow down, and energy becomes sluggish and even stagnant. It this is a brief occurrence, the chakra will resume the natural flow. If the block is more permanent, the chakra will need stimulation to become active again. Our health and well-being are subject to our chakras being active and balanced. To find out more about the Chakra system, download my ebook or read my other posts on the individual chakras listed at the bottom of this post.

What Spiritual Therapies Can Soul Essence Help You With?

On August 8, 2019August 8, 2019 By RosemaryIn Chakras, Healing, Integral Core Therapy, meditationLeave a comment

Here are the spiritual therapies available: –

Meditation, Integral Core Therapy, Energy Healing, Chakra Balancing and Distance Healing. Scroll to the therapy you are interested in. The links/Sub Titles will take you to more information on my website

Meditation

Soul Essence runs small local Meditation Groups of between 4 and 8 people in New Eltham.

A typical session will include a 30 to 45 minute guided meditation; all my group meditations have the same beginning to help you relax into your body. I do this to help people relax at the start; this helps them not to worry about what is coming next. I then take you on a guided journey, which may be to help you further relax, or work on positivity, or many other emotions and subjects. As part of the meditation I also come round to each person and run some energy healing this is optional, you just need to let me know at the beginning if you would prefer not to have this.

I ask the groups to put forward suggestions for future meditations.

Integral Core Therapy

There are several reasons to have ICT:
To access the loving awareness which exists within your core self and helps resolve childhood issues.
To find meaning and purpose in your life
To deal with life’s daily challenges
To provide integral healing and vision for individuals and communities
To connect with yourself and others in a heart-centred way
To support the spiritual and social paradigm shift in society

The primary intention is to access your core self which is the source of healing, wisdom, strength, and compassion. As your therapist-facilitator, I can support you whilst you are working to resolve childhood issues and to access your inner resources. The actual healer, mentor, and guide is your own integral core self.

Energy Healing

Energy Healing is a holistic therapy which treats the person rather than the symptoms. This means that it can be effective in almost any situation. It involves tracing the cause of any suffering through the physical and emotional symptoms to its roots deep within our psyche.

Our natural flow of energy always moves towards perfect health and well-being. However, when faced with difficulties in our life which we find too painful to accept, we tend to hold this unresolved energy in our aura. This creates blockages in our energy field which then depletes our vitality and can lead to ill-health and suffering.

Chakra Balancing

Chakras In most people most of the time there are imbalances between the front and rear aspect of each chakra and between the seven main chakras. An imbalance means that there is more energy moving through one part than another. This creates an unbalanced personality and physical body. Often when one aspect is tense, contracted or shut down then the energy will try to flow in a vicarious way.

So for instance, if someone is scared of showing their loving feelings so that the front of their heart chakra is contracted, then the rear aspect will overcompensate by expanding, such that they become overly wilful.

Distance Healing

Distance Energy Healing and Integral Core Therapy are also offered via skype or zoom if you are unable to come to see me personally. All you have to do is make an appointment; I will ring you or send you a link for a zoom meeting at the arranged time and have a session over the phone or internet. You will be asked to lie/sit down and relax by concentrating on your breathing for the energy healing which will be approximately 30 minutes. Once this has been completed I will ring you again to confirm everything is ok with you and further discussion if necessary.

For the Integral Core Therapy, this will be more talking and use of Chi Gung to help you get in touch with the suppressed emotions.

If any of the therapies above appeal to a problem you may have please contact me

Chakra Balancing

On February 10, 2009October 27, 2013 By RosemaryIn Alternative Therapy, Chakras, Healing, Holistic Therapy, Natural Healing, Pamper Events

The purpose of a Chakra Balance healing.

In most people most of the time there are imbalances between the front and rear aspect of each chakra and between the seven main chakras. An imbalance means that there is more energy moving through one part than another. This creates an unbalanced personality and physical body. Often when one aspect is tense, contracted or shut down then the energy will try to flow in a vicarious way.

So for instance if someone is scared of showing their loving feelings so that the front of their heart chakra is contracted, then the rear aspect will overcompensate by expanding, such that they become overly willful.

So this technique is to help create balance, even out energy flow and improve ‘communication’ between the different aspects of ourselves
A chakra balance healing is often done as part of an energy healing session rather than on its own.
