The Chakras: What They Are and How they Function
with Savitri Simpson

Saturday 9:30 to noon, April 10

The chakras, our seven inner energy centers, hold the keys to physical and emotional health. They also clearly describe and help us through the stages we all follow along our path to spiritual enlightenment.

In this workshop, we will become more actively aware of the chakras, of their functions, understanding exactly where they are and what they do to make us who we are. Even more importantly, we will begin to experience the reality of chakras rather than just reading or hearing about them.

We’ll learn how to affect the movements of life-force in order to clear and purify the chakras. This is done through chakra awakening exercises including chanting, guided meditations, affirmations, and visualizations for each chakra.

“I came to this seminar knowing a bit about the chakras and how they worked. But as I leave I find that they are no longer just ideas for me; now they have become a living reality. And beyond that, they even seem to have become dear friends!”
—Sue Powell, Houston Texas
