The first chakra is the base of the chakra system and represents the beginning of human consciousness.
It is the container, the ground that supports and nourishes us. It is associated with our physical body and its needs, our connection with the material world and the element earth. It is related to the pelvic floor, genitals, base of spine, legs, and feet.

The themes of the first chakra are survival instincts, health, grounding, vitality and feeling at home in the world and in the body.
The work is about learning to balance the drives of our instincts for self-preservation – which drive us to eat, sleep and procreate – with our ability to being conscious.When the natural balance of the first chakra is disrupted – either by repeated stress or trauma – we might not feel any more at home in our own body, and are either drawn away from our physical existence or get overly identified and concerned with the body and the material world.

The Base Chakra and its issues develop mainly during the prenatal time, the birth experience and the first 12 months after birth. The possibility with this work is to repair old wounds that happened during this period of our lives.

In this module we will:

• Bring attention back to the body. Reorganizing its energetic flow through grounding exercises: going deep down into the earth, bones, legs, and feet.
• Bring awareness to our conditioned patterns and beliefs around physical strength and life energy.
• Heal the connection with our physical body and its needs, and with the material world – health, home, finances, work, and environment.
• Explore the roots of our basic fears in order to liberate and reconnect the power of our instinctual energy and our will to live.
• Learn the basic principles of ‘trauma healing’ and ways to regulate and discharge energy associated with defensive survival behaviors.
• Work to regain our basic right to have and to be here. This is the realm where we bring things into manifestation and completion.

The primordial energy of the first chakra has an enormous power, vitality and an innate intelligence that is not governed by thinking or understanding, but by simply being in the body.

The essence of the second chakra is movement and connection. It is related to the fluidity and formlessness of the element water.

In this center, we start experiencing duality, the vulnerable yet powerful dimension of our feelings, the dynamic interplay between energy and body, our inner and outer world.

The location of the second chakra is the lower belly and sacral plexus, and its themes are emotional identity, pleasure, and sexuality.In this dimension, we become aware of the other and enter the complexity and richness that arises when we engage in the world of connection and relationships. It is the waking of the force of attraction of opposites, a force that wakes up our emotions and desires, wants and needs our feelings and sensations.

When our basic right to feel is not allowed, it creates patterns that keep us from experiencing the richness and aliveness of our feelings and emotions.

The work in the second chakra involves working on emotions, sexuality, and sensuality. It is about bringing awareness to our relationships, which many times are still entangled in dependencies and patterns that come from unresolved emotional wounds we carry from childhood.

The Sacral Chakra and its issues develop mainly from 6 months to 2 years old, when the child learns about relationships and emotions through contact with the mother and other caretakers.

In this module we will:

• Reconnect and nourish the space of our inner child. Learn to identify and understand emotional patterns that come from our childhood and have been shaping our adult behavior.
• Learn to feel and accept feelings and emotions, finding creative ways to relate to emotions in myself and others.
• Explore how we relate to our bodies and to pleasure, learning to let our energy flow and expand through the body, connecting our inner self and the outer world.
• Discover a new sense of belonging and relaxation in intimate relationships as well as with the world at large.
• Dive into the formless realm of the belly and our ability for expansion and to move with change.

When our emotions clear and the second chakra heal, it brings us to a natural flow of emotional energy through the body, where we can experience pleasure through movement, contact, and sexuality.

With a healthy Second Chakra, we are able to move through changes and feel a deep sense of connection with people and with life.

The third Chakra is also called the Power-Chakra and is related to the outward motion and power of the element fire. It is located at the solar plexus area and relates to the diaphragm, stomach, adrenals, and liver.

In this Chakra we start the process of individuation, which gives us the possibility of experiencing our personal will and the drive to create the life we wish for.This process involves overcoming unconscious habits which define our personality and our self-image. It develops through facing challenges, daring to be unique, expanding our own limits and risking disapproval for the integrity of our own truth.

In the Solar Plexus, we also encounter a long history of misunderstandings and abuses, where the concept of power is mostly used in a world of competition, comparison, and judgment.
We all carry those energies, consciously or unconsciously. We feel either powerful and in need to control everything around us, or powerless, weak and controlled.

One of the themes of the Third Chakra is the dynamic of the Dominator and the Victim, which are both distortions of power that creates suffering and separation.

In our process of individuation Judgments and Projections play an important and mostly unconscious role. By becoming clear of our Judgments of others we become aware of parts of ourselves, which we “disown” – our psychological Shadow – and project outside.

We spend a lot of energy creating strategies to hide our Shadows. As we learn to identify and to embrace them, we get back our integrity and reconnect with great sources of energy that can then become clarity and compassion.

The third Chakra and its issues develop mostly around the ages of eighteen months to four years, when the child starts asserting itself as separate from the mother, and again becomes very active in teenage time.

In this module we will:

• Explore the joyous Energy of Power, Strength and Will in the Solar Plexus.
• Learn to identify the different Strategies we use as Defense Mechanisms in our lives. Our patterns of either dominating or being a victim.
• Understand the Phenomena of Projection and Judgments. How and when it happens and ways to bring the energy back to oneself.
• Uncover and expose our “shadow” as ways to bring more light into our mechanisms
• Learn to create a stronger and healthier sense of one’s individual being; learning to draw clear boundaries, saying Yes or No when appropriate.
• Experience how conscious power and strength can support the capacity to relax and love more

The healing of the third chakra is about finding a balance between in-breath and out-breath, action and relaxation.

When we awaken our Power Chakra we have a mature sense of self in which we connect our presence, dignity, and strength; we experience the freedom and joy of knowing and expressing who we are without the need for outside validation.

The Heart Chakra is at the very center of the chakra system, and it is known as the balancer of opposites: mind and body, self and other, light and shadow, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, ego and unity.
It has the ability to embrace everything that is, without judgment, and is the place from where we feel the interconnectedness of everything in life.

The Fourth Chakra is associated to the element air and relates to the areas of chest, heart, cardiac plexus, shoulders, arms, hands, and the respiratory system.The central focus of the heart is to relate to others, which means connection, compassion, and empathy for another. Compassion dissolves judgment and invites the heart to open.

The most common obstacle for the heart is the absence of self-love, which is the base for intimacy and balance between our self and others. From self-love and self-compassion the heart blossoms into a longing to share, with an opening to give as well as to receive from life.

Fear and grief block these responses and eventually the heart chakra. When grief is acknowledged and expressed, the heart opens to its original loving nature, and we move beyond duality, toward a sense of great acceptance of self and others.

The heart chakra is mostly shaped when we are around three and seven years old, and we are forming our social identity.

In this module we will:

• Understand the needs of our heart, how it got hurt, and its mechanism of protection.
• Learn to recognize our illusions around love as romance, and understanding the higher meaning of love.
• Look at our unconscious patterns in relating and intimate relationship.
• Discover and develop the ability of the Heart to synchronize with other people’s heart and all life around.
• Reconnecting our heart as a healer, by listening to its wisdom and intuition.
• Learn how to cultivate love and make it a practice for relating in your daily life.

As we heal and unburden our hearts from pain, sadness and the patterns of love that limit us, we find the deeper essence of love, which brings us a profound sense of peace and centeredness.

When we move from wanting love to allowing and cultivating love, we can meet with the heart of another in real intimacy.

The fifth chakra represents our creative identity and is based on the ways we express ourselves. The essence of this chakra is finding resonance and harmony with all that is vibrating around us.

Is related to the neck, throat, mouth, jaw, and tongue, and its element is “sound” (ether).

Through our upbringing, the expression of our natural Self normally has not been supported or even got repressed, and therefore we learned to relate to the world through the mask of our personality and our belief system.

When we learn to give space to our inner reality and to express our truth, we become able to consciously communicate with the outside world, finding the right words and the right expression that make a real meeting possible.

Clear communication is directly related to creativity. When I start reconnecting with my inside and bring myself out clear, through my words, actions and presence, I am no longer enslaved by my conditioning and the events that happen in my life. I take responsibility and start recreating my reality.

The developmental period of the fifth Chakra occurs mostly between the ages of seven and twelve when language has been formed and we are able to use symbols to reach beyond our immediate experience.

In this module we will:

• Deepen the awareness of our inner world, through Listening In and Expressing out. We learn to listen to what is happening inside, being grounded and centered in order to be able to allow what is happening to move and be expressed.
• Open to speak and listen, toning and singing, moving and dancing – opening our innate creativity to express our deeper self in an authentic and spontaneous way.
• Learn about the steps of conscious Communication, discovering simple and effective tools to bring Clarity and Presence into Communication.
• Look attentively into the structure of our beliefs and the unconscious patterns and ideas we carry about ourselves and our relationship to life.
• Understand how Communication can support the creation of the life I long for.

When we learn to work with communication in a playful and conscious attitude we open our voice to speak our truth and free our creativity – we connect, expand and unite with others, re-creating our world.

The Sixth chakra, also known as the “Third Eye”, is located at the level of brow inside the head. It is related to the eyes, ears and pineal gland. Its essence is the ability to see and perceive with clarity and vision. The element of the sixth chakra is light.

Read moreThrough this center, we are able to look within and see ourselves beyond our self-identity and limited mind and personality patterns.

When the Sixth chakra is closed the mind becomes narrow, confused, unfocused and we have difficulties differentiating reality from imagination, resulting in compulsive thinking, little space for imagination and inability to keep on with a vision.

The developmental stage of Sixth Chakra is around adolescence, with the ability for symbolic thinking and abstraction.
In this chakra, we seek the light of consciousness and learn to focus that light in order to see clearly. That energy is captured into a picture, an idea, a vision, and functions as the blueprint for the manifestation of life.

In this module we work with:

• Understanding the “nature of mind” and dis-identification with “thought processes”.
• Opening our intuition and applying it as a guiding principle for our Life’s journey.
• Learning to distinguish Wakefulness from Illusion and Clarity from Confusion
• Enhancing the perception of our inner and outer reality, opening possibilities to experience life from a more expanded view than from our limited personality patterns.
• Uncover negative images we have about ourselves and the way they influence the manifestation of our potential.

As the Third Eye opens the “Witness” aspect of our being is activated and we start perceiving reality with more clarity, seeing through the density of the physical world into the subltle realm of energy and spirit.

The Seventh Chakra, also known as “The Crown”, is the center of pure awareness. It is a place of all-knowing, beyond the limits of space and time. It represents “Consciousness”, the basic operating principle of all the chakras that is capable of seeing, speaking, loving, doing, feeling, and living.

The themes at the Crown are transcendence, wisdom, universal identity, understanding, life purpose, inspiration, and spiritual connection. Its negative aspects manifest in excessive attachment to forms and appearances.This is time for resting in the awareness of being, and to realize the “witness”, that which is free of judgment and evaluation, the observer that simply notices all that is.

Here we come to understand the relationship between consciousness and matter, we can move back and forth between space and form; silence and sound; nothing and something; the absolute and the relative.

We will move deeper into Meditation, as a non-doing practice, diving into the silent space of formless consciousness.

This Center develops throughout life, starting at conception, and it has great openings during adulthood, as we start questioning the meaning of life.

In this module we will:

• Inquire into our concepts about God, Supreme Being, or Divine Force. Freeing our limiting beliefs about religion and discovering our unique relationship with “Spirituality”.
• Look and experience the different dimensions of consciousness, related to the Ego, Soul and the Absolute.
• Explore the concepts of “Meditation technique”, “Experience of Meditation” and “State of Meditation”.
• Bring light into attachments to particular confined structures, plans and ideas, which keep us from realizing the wholeness of who we are.
• Look at the phenomena of Inspiration as the driving agent for change and evolution of humanity, as a whole and within one individual.
• Question our Life Purpose and the deeper meaning of our life: What are we really here for, and what are our gifts, challenges, and potential.

From the crown, we come to the end of the rainbow journey, through the seven centers, and discover it is one more step for a new beginning.
