You will notice that the first five chakras are each associated with an earthly element -- earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
 
Most people recognize the first four elements, but are unfamiliar with the term "ether." Ether is a subtle, heavenly energy, beyond the earth. As we move up the ladder of chakras, into the higher mental and spiritual realms, there are no longer earthly elements associated with these chakras.
 
Lust, anger, greed, pride, and attachment are human qualities that result from the imbalance of the eight energy centers called chakras. When these emotional imbalances settle in, we often experience mental, physical problems or physcial illness. The idea that certain emotions and talents live in certain areas of our bodies is not a new one.  
 
See your body as Creator's perfect gift to you. It is in loving and appreciating our bodies that we begin the path to consciousness. The eight greatest talents of humankind are located in the eight chakras, which are the eight major power areas of the body. The Eight Human Talents are the gifts of The Creator that make us different from all other creatures on earth. Opening, or balancing all your chakras is the key to happiness and emotional and physcial well being!  The Eight Human Talents are Acceptance, Creativity, Commitment, Compassion, Truth, Intuition, Boundlessness, and Radiance. These are yours to attain and become! You are worthy! Schedule your chakra balancing session now!
 

In a chakra balancing transformational session you are fully clothed laying on a massage table or floor. I perform an assessment of your major chakra centers to see if they are open or closed and spinning properly.  I place my hands over each center to clear any blockages that may exist, close the center down a bit if it is to open and leaking vital energy, and simply balance the centers.  A chakra balancing session includes setting of sacred space, invocation, intention setting,  balancing process,  closing ritual and plan for staying in alignment and a humming  hug. To schedule your chakra balancing session contact me at                   612-408-0412 or ariajoy@msn.com  Cost of a session is $90 and lasts about an hour from beginning to end.

Below is from the The Dalai Lama on chakras--
 
It's nearly impossible to balance these 8 power centers perfectly to bring out their talents every day of your life. But don't worry, perfection isn't the goal. The goal is to become aware of the energy emanating from each chakra and to be able to call upon it when you need it. Let's say you're called on to make a presentation at a board meeting. You'll need to shift into the fifth chakra located at your throat to communicate your ideas clearly, and the third chakra to give your presentation the special emphasis and punch of commitment. If an angry coworker blows up over the smallest inconvenience, don't meet fire with fire. Try meeting her with your fourth chakra, using compassion to heal the fear and insecurity behind her outburst.
 
Our bodies are like complex worlds within worlds. We know where they begin and end, and yet they are vast and full of mysteries which we may never understand. No machine has ever been devised by a human that is as complex or artful as our own human body. The ancient system of chakras is a way to understand ourselves. There is an incredible amount of subtle interaction going on all the time.
