CHAKRA chak- ra | CHakra|

Energy centers or 'wheels' that lie along the spine and represent different levels of consciousness. They serve to link the subtle body to the physical body. When these energy clusters become blocked, unbalanced, or are too open and run on overdrive our overall health and wellness are compromised.

EVALUATING CHAKRAS

nto

SELF-ASSESSMENT Most common are multiple-choice questions which can be found online and in chakra workbooks.

MUSClf TESTING Done with a partner or by yourself. This taps into the subtle body and allows the subconscious to distinguish between true and false statements. The most common is the arm test and the backwards/forwards lean test.

PENDANT/PENDULUM Any object dangling from a chain including a crystal or gemstone. Place over the chakra points about 6-12 inches away from the body. Wait for about 10 seconds. Make note of the spin, speed, and shape.

INTERPRETATION Prior to any chakra assessment, it's important for the reader to release expectations or attachment to the outcome- stay open for discovery.

A healthy chakra usually spins clockwise. However, a counter-clockwise spin may mean processing or change is occurring. Look or consistency between chakras and what happens after applying essential oils.

SHAPE Healthy chakras will be uniform and hand sized. Shifts to the left indicate feminine issues; right- masculine issues; bottom-physical realm tendency; top- spiritual realm tendency.

SPIN Lower chakras are slower than higher seals; slow and sluggish indicates depression, overuse or fatigue; too fast indicates anxiety or overcompensation.

HEALTHY FROM THE INSIDE OUT It's beneficial to detox the body with gentle methods rather than severe srotocols. Dramatic detox regimens cause too much chaos at one time for the Dody and mind to release toxins without harsh side effects.

HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS IN A DETOX FLOW YOGA CLASS

This yoga practice along with Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils is an effective and gentle method to eliminate toxins within the body. A morning practice is recommended.

DETOXIFYING ESSENTIAL OILS: Choose only 1-2 essential oils per class.

MOOD SHIFTING There are a myriad of stimuli that trigger emotions; unhealthy diet, traumatic experiences, negative self talk, hormonal imbalances, limiting beliefs, etc. When our moods become an obstacle for the body to heal and the mind to be at peace there ore natural, effective remedies.

STIMULATING THE PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

When the PNS is activated it acts as a 'reset' button communicating to the rest of the body to turn off the fight or flight response and return bodily functions to normal, healing mode. Not only do we feel more reloxecf but also receive a boost to the immune system, repair brain tissue, regenerate cells throughout the body, repair and build organs, or in other words the body con begin to heal itself.

VAGUS NERVE

This very long nerve running from the hypothalamus area of the brain, chest, diaphragm, and to the intestines wraps around the heart and core area -areas traditionally considered to be the seat of intuition and compassion. When stimulated it activates the PNS. These very easy and effective methods activate the Vagus nerve.

DEEP BREATHING- Reduce breath to 5-7 times per minute; incorporate 3 part diaphragmatic breathing; rhythmical pattern with exhales longer than inhales

OM CHANTING- Prolonged o for 5 seconds, blend 6m for 5 seconds, prolonged M for 5 seconds. Repeat from beginning and continue chanting for 10 minutes.

CERTIFIED PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE ESSENTIAL OILS- The previous 2 methods ore like using dial-up to connect to cyberspace. This method is like 0 wi-fi connection that delivers the message instant y from the Vagus nerve to the PNS.

http://www.ncbi.nlnn.nit i .gov/pubmed/6467039 ...These results suggest the existence of a vagus nerve-olfactory bulb pathway
