I am a holistic healer, I have always been able to feel energy and meditate as far back as I can remember. Not really understanding all that I was doing until, I discovered the Chakras fully and learned about energy in massage school. I was with full attention as the teacher went over this extensive system. I feel I have found a easy way to teach this to anyone as the Chakras are very intense and there is a lot of information about them. I feel that our energy is the most important part of our bodies and it comes first before the physical body. Not understanding how the energy flows through you and around you is so important for well-being and a healthy physical body. I have cariographed all my knowledge into my book The Key To Life Is Balance, with small bits of Chakra info in my dvds and cds. I know you can use them as continuing education at home after leaving this class. Take notes please.
