Balance your chakra system with specialist energy massage
An overview of the Chakra system and the massage we give
The Chakra system was originally conceived as a tool for meditating on different energy centres in the body - as spinning discs, or lotus flowers. We now tend to associate them with specific shapes, colours, elements and also the endocrine system.
When we are healthy - in homeostasis - all the Chakras will be spinning harmoniously. When out of balance we might say that energy can become stuck within us, with consequences that many be emotional, physiological or spiritual.
When giving this kind of massage we will be focused on a particular quality of presence and touch - manifesting light, for example. Chakra massage will often include the whole body, with varying pressure and some moments when there is no physical touch but still the focused presence and attention of the giver.
Generally only the part of your body that is being massaged will be uncovered. We provide disposal underwear so you don't get oil on yours.
