Chakras
What are chakras?
Chakra is the popular term for the energy centres that occur along the midline of the body. They are usually visualised as spinning wheels or vortices of light and colour.
According to ancient Vedic tradition, there are seven primary chakras.
As people have developed a greater spiritual connection further chakras have become apparent.
We work with nine chakras for Wildflower essences. The wild flower and mineral essences can help to activate the relevant chakras. Each chakra corresponds to a different area of the body and an aspect of the psyche. Physical and psychological problems are thought to show up in a person’s chakras and energy field long before symptoms are noticeable.
