New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
Most of my clients are keen on developing their intuitive faculties. I've worked with tens of thousands of individuals and students, and most of them want to flame-on the most sparkling abilities: seeing visions, predicting the future, or hearing what their spirit guides have to say. (Okay, sometimes they want to talk with the deceased, but it's all good.) You know my favorite form of psychic communication? It's associated with the first or root chakra. Yup.

Nowadays, trainee yoga teachers are warned against the dangers of being seduced by these extraordinary powers, and are encouraged to view them ...

It can be helpful to visualize the chakras as seven spinning wheels of energy, vertically lined from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each chakra offers gifts to unlock and access so that you can live a happier and healthier life. When the chakras are balanced, you feel healthy, energized, emotionally resilient, focused, and calm.
