Flowing with Divine Energy: a guide to your 7 energy centres.

Beloveds

Here is a little bit more info on our energy centres.

Write to me at thepeopleontheway@gmail.com with any questions on the process and if you are experiencing any upgrade symptoms let me know. One may expect a few headaches, energy rushes or stomachs being a bit upset. Drink plenty of water and remember to rest in assimilation of the high frequencies the physical body is now embracing. Also remember to move that body! Go for a walk, dance to your favourite tune, just move it, move it :-)

Love in All Ways

Chakra translates to wheel in Sanskrit. There are seven main chakras at points along the spine and hundreds of others throughout the body. When the chakras are balanced and in alignment, energy is flowing, and you are healthy. If your chakras are blocked due to mental, emotional or spiritual disease, you may feel the effects as a physical ailment. The lower chakras have to do with grounding, physicality and stability. The upper chakras deal with expansion, compassion and insight. The heart center, at the center of the seven, is the connection between the upper and lower chakras.
