I am a certified Energy Healing Practitioner from the Energy Healing Institute. My certification practicum included more than 200 hours of supervised practice client activities, as well as ongoing didactic and experiential learning. I create active partnerships with my clients, supporting their inner work and facilitating healing through clearing sessions and sharing tools and practices for the client to use outside of our sessions. It is a privilege to work with my clients and to witness their embodiment, empowerment and conscious awareness evolve as they shift, grow and heal.
Chakra regulation is an important skill I often teach clients in the beginning of our work together. Setting chakras to their appropriate degree of openness maximizes the function and flow of energy. The purpose of setting chakras is to contain energy and increase self-awareness.
Clients often say that they have been taught to open all of their chakras to 100%, and are fascinated and relieved to learn about energy regulation.
Each chakra has an appropriate setting that supports people to feel aligned, balanced and connected. There’s no reason to aim for setting the chakras to 100% open, in fact, dysregulation and feeling flooded would be the result.
When a chakra isn’t set appropriately it can vacuum in other people’s energy. Conversely, if too closed, energy won’t flow freely.
A piano, when tuned, plays beautifully and creates harmonious music. Similarly, when chakras are balanced and attuned, energy flows harmoniously. If energy is flowing harmoniously, life is likely to follow suit.
I’ve had clients that have dysregulated, or wide open, 2nd chakras; in fact it’s quite common. In this case the 2nd chakra, the seat of the emotions, becomes flooded by other people’s emotional energy, displacing the client’s own emotional awareness. Upon learning to regulate this chakra, the client’s awareness of their own emotional landscape becomes available.
Energy regulation ensures that over time, rather than being flooded with everyone else’s energy, energy is used consciously to create an intentional life.
Here’s another example: I’ve had clients come in with their feet chakras tightly closed. This often occurs when a client feels overwhelmed and stressed, or is in the midst of an intense experience.
Closed feet chakras restrict the release of energy into the Earth, while also preventing energy replenishment. Steadily regulating this chakra, helps clients feel anchored into and supported by the Earth, and gives them a release valve for overwhelming or stressful emotions.
Chakra regulation is an important step in containing and maintaining your energy field. With committed, consistent care, just like that tuned piano, the energy body can flow and function optimally.
