In this 3 hour workshop you are invited to investigate the layers of the subtle body. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit, they are spinning vortices within the subtle body that move with and allow life energy a.k.a. prana a.k.a. chi to move freely (or no so freely) through the body. The term chakra come from India, however there are many ancient traditions that talk about and teach what is essentially the chakra system. There are 7 major chakras throughout the body, they follow the central channel from our pelvic floor up to the crown of our heads. The chakra system is like a map for the journey through life, it covers the full range of human possibility. Each chakra can be seen to manifest its self though various physical traits, attitudes, mental stability and affliction, health, energetic sensibilities and much more. Starting from our root chakra that links us to the material world up to the crown chakra that connects us to the divine energy of consciousness.

In this workshop we will discuss theory of each chakra, how they relate to each other, how they manifest within us, and how we can work with the chakras through meditation, diet, asana (physical postures), sound, breath, colors, essential oils, and crystals. We will explore these various techniques throughout the day and leave with a greater understanding of what is happening presently within our own subtle body, and taking away easy and practical techniques that can be applied everyday. When we work mind and body together with a deeper understanding of the subtle body life’s basic tasks can flow more smoothly and enjoyably.

Biography:

Ghazaleh has lived and studied in many different countries where she has gathered teachings from masters and sages. From the wisdom of Brazilian shamans, training in Reiki and Chakra Healing in India, along with the deep yogic and meditation practices, Ghazaleh combines these powerful teachings with intuition to provide supportive healing. She is a certified yoga teacher, and is constantly participating in further trainings, self-studies, and spiritual investigation.

Ghazaleh’s interest in chakras began while living in Brazil. She was living in a shamanic community where energy, chakras, and healing were daily conversation. She began meditating on her own chakras from information that people would share, in an amateur yet engaged manner. During her travels to India she encountered many healers and babas who gave her a deeper understanding of the subtle body, and how the chakras can manifest in each interaction and day-to-day activities.

She went through a 2 month intensive learning of the Chakras through workshops, kundalini yoga, dynamic meditations, readings, lectures, and, the greatest teacher of all, self exploration. After these two months of intense apprenticeship, Ghazaleh continued to seek answers within and explore new ideas with fresh perspective.

With the message to share, Ghazaleh shares with those around and who also seek information and practices for mind and body. She comes with the intention to assist healing and transformation, which comes from within. Sharing how to balance the chakras in this workshop for all to self heal and journey enjoyably.
