FIVE WAYS CHAKRA WORK WILL BENEFIT YOUR CLIENTS
Working at a deeper level By Scott Fowler - Licensed Acupuncturist
Maybe you are a seasoned holistic health practitioner, or maybe you are new to holistic healing. Either way, you are making yourself available as a resource for your clients by creating a safe healing space where they can come to release any “dis-ease” they are experiencing. Often times, this dis-ease is felt in the physical body as aches, pains, soreness and fatigue, or in the emotional body as stress, worry, or anxiousness. However, much of the time, its origins are actually on the energetic level and only come to manifest in the emotional and physical bodies over time. When working with the chakras, we are given the opportunity to better understand these patterns and the progression of dis-ease. In so doing, we can direct our therapies to yield a greater benefit for the client and interact with them on a more holistic basis to promote healing at the deepest level.
I’d like to share with you FIVE BENEFITS of using chakra work for your clients.
1) Help clients understand deep level blockages that prevent optimal health and wellbeing
As you are likely aware, many holistic therapies, especially hands-on techniques, open up the flow of energy in the body. By studying the chakras, you will develop a greater understanding of these energy blockages and why they occur to begin with; how they affect your clients emotionally, physically, and even spiritually; and empower yourself with a new tool for unblocking this energy at a very deep level.
2) Direct you to the areas most in need of attention
The body will tell you which areas are priority with a quick and simple chakra assessment. Maybe your client is very ungrounded, suffering with anxiety and insomnia – you will be directed to the foot chakra first. Maybe they are fatigued from overwork, this often affects the low back (sacral or root chakra). If they are very stressed, the shoulders and neck will often be tensed (the liver chakra). When digestion is bothering them (the solar plexus chakra). Don’t guess, let the body tell you what it's priorities are with the advanced muscle-testing assessment.
3) Validate emotional responses
Next time your client has an emotional response during a session you’ll be able to quickly link it to their chakras. Providing insights for your clients such as anger and irritability correlating to the liver chakra and overall tension in the body; grief or sadness relating to the throat chakra (neck) and a need to release past traumas, or overall emotional turmoil relating to the heart chakra. Knowing how to activate and clear the chakras can have a pronounced impact on healing emotional burdens.
4) Identify and clear bad energy (even before it manifests in the emotional/physical bodies)
Working at the energetic level of the body gives insights to patterns that are developing even before they show up as emotional or physical ailments. Negative or dirty energy in each of the chakras has it’s own meaning. For example, if you find that the solar plexus chakra has dirty energy (possibly caused by improper food/drink) this will likely lead to an upset in the digestive system, if it hasn’t already. Clearing this negative energy before ailments manifest has a preventative effect. If emotional or physical distress is already present – clearing the negative energy will assist in restoring wellbeing.
5) Employing home-care tips to assist and support specific chakras
Simple recommendations can go a long way towards helping your clients experience wellbeing in their day-to-day lives. Once you have identified which chakra needs the most attention, you’ll be able to give personalized recommendations and handouts that suggest gentle exercises, use of specific foods, colors, crystals, aromatherapy, verbal affirmations, and other subtle tools that bring support on an energetic level.
The chakras reflect and influence what is happening on the emotional and physical levels. Understanding this connection allows us to work at a deeper level for our client’s in a gentle and profound way.
