Chakra Balancing at the Golden Door Spa at The Boulders Resort

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

Have you ever wondered what chakras are and how they relate to our health and well-being?  Here is a brief overview of chakras:

The chakra system is an energy system we can use for personal growth.  Ayurvedic tradition recognizes seven main chakras, which are junctions between consciousness (the mind) and matter (the body) and which link the various aspects of what makes us human: our physical, energetic, emotional, mental, social and spiritual selves.  When we focus on the chakras, we can connect to these aspects and move toward balance, health and well-being.

The chakra system is located in the core of our being, in a channel that encompasses the spin and includes the tailbone to the crown of the head, as well as the nerve bundles associated with each individual chakra.  When working with the chakras, think of health as being on a continuum.  Depending on your diet, exercise, stress levels, emotional states, and many other factors, you are either mvoing toward greater health or away from it.  it is similar with chakras.  Close or imbalanced qualities of the chakras are on one end of a health continuum and open or balanced qualities are on the other end.  Depending on your lifestyle, you are either moving toward greater awareness and balance within the chakras or away from it.

Each chakra relates to a different aspect of life and by focusing on that chakra you can become more aware of those issues in yourself and then work with them to achieve greater health and happiness.  The seven chakras and corresponding meditative works are:

  1. base of the spine – grounding
  2. lower abdomen – nourishment
  3. solar plexus – intention
  4. center of the chest – harmony
  5. throat or base of the neck – expression
  6. between the eyebrows – insight
  7. top or crown of the head – wisdom

Of course the Golden Door Spa at The Boulders offers chakra balancing.  Learn more about the Golden Door Spa at www.TheBoulders.com or call 480-595-3500 to schedule your Chakra Balancing session.
