REIKI

premaria

Yes, I offer Reiki Sessions on a regular basis.

I just got a new massage table I call it my “Reiki – Bed”. It is brand new as it was passed on to me by a lovely soul, who changed intended career path and is down sizing.

In September 2023 I completed the training in Reiki level 2, as Reiki practitioner level. With Melanie Gilchrist https://www.melaniegilchrist.com/

Reiki is energy that infuses and activates the self-healing of our physical body and energy field, so in this regard very similar to Yoga. It helps to balance and align the Chakras and Aura.  

  • I offer Reiki Sessions at our home in Silkstone. I have a small, peaceful, energy expanding Reiki set-up. The cost per session, please allow 40 – 60 minutes, is $44.00
  • If you are interested to experience & book a Reiki Session, please phone or text me on: 0423 477 725
  • OM OM OM   –  Blessings for good health and peace of mind.

CHAKRA Introduction

CHAKRA Introduction

premaria

The word Chakra means ‘wheel’. Chakras are energy vortices, or intersections where two or more nadis / meridians meet. Everyplace the 72,000 nadis of the astral body intersect, there is a chakra. There are an uncounted number of chakras in the body.

The chakras are the mechanisms by which the prana is able to permeate the physical body from the astral body, and basically then, it is the prana that keeps the physical body alive.

Within the astral body are 7 main chakras associated with kundalini awakening. They are located within the astral body in locations that correspond with the spine in the physical body, and at the junctions where the ida and pingala, and various other nadis, meet.

These main chakras are:

  1. Muladhara – located near the base of the spine in the perineal space for men, at the back and top of the cervix for women; sacral plexus
  2. Swadhishthana – located at the level of the uro-genital systems; prostatic plexus
  3. Manipura – located at the area of the navel; solar plexus
  4. Anahata – located at the level of the heart; cardiac plexus
  5. Vishuddha – located in the throat region near the thyroid and adam’s apple; laryngeal plexus
  6. Ajna – located in the space between the eyebrows; cavernous plexus
  7. Sahasrara – located at the top of the head; pineal gland

The six chakras are way-stations along the sushumna, to the final destination, the sahasrara chakra. They are of consciousness, with specific tones of awareness and bliss, as well as storage places for the subtle, vital energy. They have corresponding centres in the spinal cord and nerve plexuses of the gross physical body, with which they are closely related.

While these main chakras actually exist in the astral body corresponding to locations within the spine, it is hard to visualize and work with them in these locations. Therefore, we usually reference locations in the front of the body at the levels described above, and these locations have a direct effect on the actual chakra location within the spine.

Each chakra also has associated with it a corresponding number of nadis, a colour, a presiding deity and goddess, Sanskrit letters, a bija or seed mantra, and a presiding element or tanmatra.

From a Yoga perspective the Chakra system is part of Kundalini Yoga.

During the Yoga Retreat in August 2024, we’ll talk and discuss the Chakras, their functions, meanings, etc. in detail. https://hathayogaipswich.com.au/retreat/

A next 8 – weeks – meditation – course is starting soon. Monday 10th of May 2021, 5pm – 6pm, for eight consecutive weeks. The Topic of the course is on the Chakras.

The 7 main Chakra

Chakra means ‘wheel’. Chakras are energy vortices, or intersections where two or more nadis (sanskrit word) meet. Everyplace the 72,000 nadis of the astral body intersect, there is a chakra. There are an uncounted number of chakras in the body.

The chakras are the mechanisms by which the prana (lifeforce) is able to permeate the physical body from the astral body, and basically then, it is the prana that keeps the physical body alive.

Within the astral body are 7 main chakras associated with kundalini awakening. They are located within the astral body in locations that correspond with the spine in the physical body, and at the junctions where the ida and pingala, and various other nadis, meet.

These main chakras are called:

  1. Muladhara – located near the base of the spine in the perineal space for men, at the back and top of the cervix for women; sacral plexus
  2. Swadhishthana – located at the level of the uro-genital systems; prostatic plexus
  3. Manipura – located at the area of the navel; solar plexus
  4. Anahata – located at the level of the heart; cardiac plexus
  5. Vishuddha – located in the throat region near the thyroid and adam’s apple; laryngeal plexus
  6. Ajna – located in the space between the eyebrows; cavernous plexus
  7. Sahasrara – located at the top of the head; pineal gland

In the first week of the course, we cover the basics and overall meaning of the Chakra. Then every week we cover, talk and meditate on one Chakra from 1 to 7. So if, you miss a week, each week is it’s own lesson.

Cost & Registration:

The upfront payment for the whole 8 weeks is $110.-, or you can pay each week $15.-.

If you have yoga class pass, you can use it of the meditation course as well.

The course is taking place at our home in Silkstone, and is limited to six participants. You need to book for the whole course, or for each week, if space is available.
