Have you ever had the privilege of watching a dance performance? It’s amazing, isn’t it?
They’re so graceful, their movements look effortless.
They’re totally balanced, yet able to assume and hold postures I can only dream about!
How did they arrive at that level of alignment, coordination and skill?
Through practice. Hours and hours of practice.
What does this have to do with regulating chakras?
People think that they can have an energy attunement or a clearing session and maintain their balance, regulation and alignment for weeks and months on end.
Actually, the effects only last a few days when there’s no ongoing tools to continue to grow and build on what was received in the session.
Clients coming into my practice understand they’re committing to their ongoing healing and evolution. They are the healer, I facilitate their process.
How do we do this?
They come in for regular clearing sessions, sure.
They also learn skills for regulating their energy for deeper levels of, embodiment and energetic containment, and they’re empowered with tools for clearing their energy field.
Let’s look a little deeper into one of these sets of skills – chakra regulation.
What is Chakra Regulation? Chakra regulation is an important skill I often teach clients in the beginning of our work together.
Setting chakras to their appropriate degree of openness maximizes the function and flow of energy.
What’s the benefit of Chakra Regulation? The purpose of setting chakras is to contain energy and increase self-awareness.
Energy regulation ensures that over time, rather than being flooded with everyone else’s energy, energy is used consciously to create an intentional life.
An appropriate flow of energy into and out of each chakra, allows your energy centers to work harmoniously together resulting in ease, alignment and balance.
However, your chakras have been doing what they’ve been doing for a long time.
Like the dancer, chakra regulation requires consistent practice.
Be the dancer!
A Couple of Examples
Meet Ben, a hard working father of 3, happily married, and an executive. His life is full and demanding. He came into my practice to release his tension, and his fear about not being enough for his family and his firm.
Through working with Ben and his underlying patterns, we identified that his feet chakras were tightly closed. His concern and fear about not being enough led him to constrict his energy, rather than letting it flow.
As a result he holds onto energies and emotions rather than releasing and letting them go.
Ben learned to consistently regulate his feet chakras, and with ongoing clearing work to release his behavioral and energetic patterns, he no longer feels he’s at risk of failing in his career or letting down the people he loves.
Bottom line: Closed feet chakras restrict the release of energy into the Earth, while also preventing energy replenishment. Steadily regulating this chakra, anchors your energy, lets the Earth support you and replenish your energy, and gives you an organic release valve for overwhelming or stressful emotions.
Now, meet Jane. She is the mother of 2 busy teenagers, a nurse, and teaches cooking classes in her spare time.
Jane came in to ‘feel better’. She knew she didn’t have an off switch, relaxing feels uncomfortable, her mind was always busy. Through our work together, she also realized she felt ‘full.’
The intensity of the world seemed to mirror her homelife with her two pubescent teens and their emotional rollercoasters.
Jane’s 4th and 6th chakras were both wide open. She felt burdened emotionally and experienced relentless thinking and ruminating. She was all up in her head and overwhelmed in her heart.
Regulating these two chakras, in balance with each other, supported Jane to be in her compassionate heart, lessening the overwhelm, while also inviting her mind to rest.
She could finally relax!
