What is Chakradance
This is a powerful tool to release repressed emotions and free the spirit, mind and body.
CHAKRADANCE, is a healing dance practice that uses specific music and spontaneous dance to balance the chakras.
The chakra system contains within it seven major chakras, each acting as an energetic gateway allowing universal energy to flow in and out of our systems. Each chakra corresponds with particular body organs and reflects an aspect of consciousness on an emotional, psychological and spiritual level. Each chakra also has its own vibrational frequency as well as an attributed element and archetype. These can all be used as pathways into the chakras enabling us to connect more deeply with the energies existing within each one.
CHAKRADANCE music is modern-world-music, which has been created with the intention of using sound as a healing force. Music has incredible therapeutic powers and is considered to be the oldest form of healing. In many ancient cultures music was both composed and performed with the intention of promoting physical health, freeing emotions, entering into altered states of consciousness, and ultimately, of healing the soul. Music was considered sacred and magical. Long before psychotherapy existed, music played the role of healer, doctor and therapist.
A 1.5 hour session is $90 per person {a minimum of 2 people}
WHAT ARE THE CHAKRAS?
Beyond our physical experience, there is a belief from the ancient Indian teachings that there is an underlying system that is invisible, that permeates all things. It consists of energy called prana, meaning "Qi", "life force" or "vital energy".
This energy enters the body at different frequencies via a series of energy centres, called chakras: meaning"wheel" in the ancient language Sanskrit.
The chakra system is part of the yoga tradition, which began several thousands of years ago in India.
Indian sages regarded the chakras as the means whereby universal energy, the force that creates all things, is stepped down in frequency so that the human body can use it.
One of the fundamental ancient universal laws is that energy precedes form - in modern times aspects of quantum physics express the same idea.
So as well as having a physical body that we can see and touch, we also have an "energy body" invisible to the eye, but permeating our solid structure.
The chakras are our energy blueprint, needed in the invisible realm to create, heal, and balance the human body in the physical realm.
The seven Major Chakras
According to the traditional writings there are many chakras throughout the human body covering basically every area in the body. The majority of them are small and insignificant, 40 of them have significant functions and they are in the hands, feet, fingertips and shoulders and they are linked to the Meridian system.
The most significant ones are the 7 main chakras located from the Crown of the head down through the forehead, throat, chest, abdomen to the base of the spine.
Balancing your chakras is the answer to a healthy physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life.
The Root chakra {Base chakra}is located at the base of your spine. It provides you with a base or foundation for life, and it helps you feel grounded and able to withstand challenges. Your root chakra is responsible for your sense of security and stability. Balanced archetype is the Earth Mother, Unbalanced archetype is the Victim.
When underactive, you feel fearful, nervous, anxious, feeling unwelcome and a victimhood attitude to life. An overactive base chakra is manifested as materialistic, greediness and resisting change. The root chakra is related to the adrenal glands, which produce hormones associated with fight or flight response and our survival instinct.
The Sacral chakra is located just below your navel. This chakra is responsible for your sexual and creative energy. It’s also linked to how you relate to your emotions as well as the emotions of others. Balanced archetype is the Empress/Emperor, Unbalanced Chakra is the Martyr.
When underactive, you feel unemotional and a feeling of plodding along and when you're overactive, you're far too emotional, too needy and too attached. The sacral chakra links the ovaries and testing testes, which produce sex hormones.
The Solar plexus chakra is located in your stomach area, above your navel. It’s responsible for confidence, self worth and personal power, as well as helping you feel in control of your life. Balanced archetype is the warrior, Unbalanced archetype is the servant.
When it is underactive, you are timid, indecisive and feel like you cannot get what you want and when its overactive you’re domineering, aggressive and selfish. The solar plexus chakra connects to the pancreas, which produces insulin.
The Heart chakra is located in the center of your chest. The heart chakra is all about our ability to love and show compassion and forgiveness. Balanced archetype is the lover, Unbalanced is the actor. When it is underactive, you’re cold and distant, when it is overactive you're suffocating with love, far too needy and selfish. The heart chakra is linked to the thymus, a key player in our immune system.
The Throat chakra, is located in your throat. This chakra has to do with our ability to communicate and self expression. Balanced archetype is the communicator, Unbalanced archetype is the silent child. When it is underactive you're introverted, shy and don't speak up much for yourself, but when it's overactive your domineering, you speak too much, too loud and are a bad listener. The throat chakra is connected to the thyroid, which releases hormones important for cellular growth and repair.
The Third eye chakra is located between your eye brows. This chakra is connected to gut instinct. That’s because the third eye is responsible for intuition. It’s also linked to the higher consciousness and insight. Balanced archetype is the Intuitive, Unbalanced archetype is the Intellectual overthinker. When it is underactive you rely on others decisions, you're confused easily and disconnected from your intuition, yet when it’s overactive you are living in your busy monkey mind, over thinking and not in the real world. The third eye chakra is linked to the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, which directs the activity of many of the body's hormones.
The Crown chakra is located at the top of your head and represents your spiritual awareness and connection to yourself, others, and the universe. It also plays a role in trust and your life’s purpose. Balanced archetype is the Spiritual self, Unbalanced archetype is the Egotist.
When it is underactive you are rigid thinking and have no spiritual awareness and when it's overactive you rely on spirituality too much. The crown chakra is linked to the pineal gland, which releases melatonin and governs our response to light and dark regulating our sleeping and waking cycles. Low levels of crown chakra energy are associated with conditions such as depression.
Who are we really?
We are energy first, body second.
Energy is our soul essence.
We are eternal.
Everything is energy. Essentially everything we see is made up of energy. Matter is energy. Einstein's famous equation tells us that mass, accelerated to the square of the velocity of light is equal to Energy, E = MC square. It is the measure of matter. In the year 2000 a Dutch scientist, Mandelbrot took this theory further with his equation measuring infinity, and his theories of fractals with the repetition of patterns bigger and smaller than the eye can see forever producing its self image into Infinity.
Energy is vibration - vibration and energy - these words are interchangeable or put another way our energy is measurable in terms of the vibrational frequency at which we and all matter resonate. All movement is therefore energy passing through gravity or space. It creates energy waves called scalar waves of differing length which are calibrated and measurable on a Spectrometer.
Quantum Physics has validated that there is an intelligence within the field that connects all of creation. The messages of the individual web affect the universal web and vice versa. Matter including DNA is the physical materialisation of what is contained in this field. Knowing this information, humans could be considered as energy first and by simply utilising and infusing energy through our bodies we can balance the systems, allowing the body to heal. All these systems create energy waves called biorhythms which form an electromagnetic field.
Cells are the middle guys in that they function as specific building blocks for the whole body, plus they contain sub-cellular activities. The inside of a cell contains Nucleus, Chromosomes, DNA, RNA, Mitachondria, and other Organelles and Somatid. The cell environment is made of proteins, fats, water, potassium and salts. Cells die at differing rates and all but those without a nucleus replace and renew constantly throughout life. The cell skin is called a membrane. It is permeable, meaning that stuff can get in and get out. Matter {such as chemicals and hormones} move from negative to positive and positive to negative through the cell membrane.
It is this action that creates the whole of the energy in the body.
Emotions, thoughts, behaviours, perceptions - all and each of these signal to the protein and affect the cells. We can mess up the Energy Field and the Body with - TRAUMA, STRESS, TOXINS and THOUGHTS {self suggestion with negative connotation}.
Numerous philosophies of today are based on the premise: that energy first, body second. Everything happens in our energy patterns first. A lot of scientific discovery and proof is just a confirmation of this. This information is not new. It is just stashed away and our bodies have forgotten to use it. We have suppressed it by getting so caught up in the physical, especially in the Western world.
