Chakra and Energy Balancing 101

Perhaps you know about Chakras, those little energy centers in your body that work to keep you physically and emotionally healthy… or maybe it’s all new to you and you’ve only heard the term and have limited knowledge about them.  As a Pranic energy Healer I want to help dispel the mysteries!  In Chakra and Energy balancing 101, we’ll discuss just what these energy centers are, what their jobs are, what happens when they’re not functioning at their optimal level and more importantly - we’ll do a ½ hour guided meditation to actually clear and balance them out!  1 ½  hour class
