Chakra
Therapy - Bridging the gap between ‘hands-on’ and ‘talk’
therapy
Chakra is a sanskrit word
meaning ‘wheel’. It is used to describe energy centres in the
head and spine, which are central to many Eastern philosophies and which nowadays
can be seen using Kirlian photographic techniques. These centres, when working
well, support the flow of energy up and down the spine, and throughout the
body.
Chakra therapy offers you
an opportunity to heal yourself at all levels of your being. The chakras are
the essential building blocks of the energy system of the body and of our
evolving consciousness. They carry imprints of different stages of our development,
from the infant, through the child, to the adult and beyond, exploring the
different stages of development of consciousness that we pass through in the
journey to maturity. Glen suggests that each stage needs to be developed,
then transcended and then integrated from a new perspective.
Glen works individually and with groups using this model of the chakras.
GROUP
WORK
In her workshops Glen shows
participants ways of getting in touch with the consciousness of each developmental
stage, through experiential exercises and games. We find there is a map through
which we can explore different aspects of our consciousness, all of which
need to be valued and integrated to experience wholeness. Then, she leads
us into experiences of higher states of consciousness which transcend the
everyday levels of consciousness by which we normally live.
By bringing awareness, loving attention and intention into different areas of our selves and our lives, we can nourish and re-integrate parts of ourselves that are out of balance. Working with similar principles to the Alexander Technique but directed towards the emotional and mental patterns of our lives, we can learn to change the way we think about ourselves, and our lives, releasing old psychological habits and replacing them with more beneficial ones. Working with these principles we can develop a deeper sense of personal integration and increased physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
INDIVIDUAL
WORK
In
an individual chakra therapy session Glen gently places her hands on your
body as you lie fully clothed on the therapy table. Her hands send healing
messages to your mind and body, which encourage these energy centres to release
any interferences and to function optimally.
Sometimes she may talk with you about how your particular physical and emotional
conditions express themselves through your body, and give you guidelines for
understanding those conditions and methods to work with them. At other times
she will work in silence enabling deep inner change to occur. At other times
she may lead you through a guided visualization which allows you to access
your intuitive understanding and healing of different aspects of your self.
The very best of healing hands-on work and counselling come together in this
sensitive gentle therapy allowing you to create healing and harmony at the
very deepest layers of your being
