The Chakra Model |
Chakras are the centers of awareness, that are neither physical nor anatomical, yet vital and active. They influence cells, organs, entire hormone system, effect one's thoughts and feelings and represent certain emotional characteristics and qualities. Defects in chakras have a local effect on organ function as well as detrimental influence on specific character traits.
WE WILL EXPLORE:
- The characteristics of specific chakras and their influence;
- Possible irregularities in chakra functioning and how to balance them;
- The use of the chakra model for deeper self-understanding;
- Practical techniques and tools to overcome dysfunctional behavior patterns.
