As a Pranic energy Healer I want to help dispel the mysteries! In Chakra and Energy balancing 101, we’ll discuss just what these energy centers are, what their jobs are, what happens when they’re not functioning at their optimal level and more importantly - we’ll do a ½ hour guided meditation to actually clear and balance them out!
