A Beginner’s Guide to Chakra Healing
🌈 CHAKRA HEALING
In our fast-paced world, energetic imbalances often manifest as physical discomfort, emotional turmoil, or mental fog. Chakra healing is a powerful ancient practice that brings the body, mind, and spirit back into alignment by working with the body's energy centers—known as chakras.
Whether you're completely new to energy work or simply curious, this beginner’s guide will introduce you to the 7 main chakras, their functions, and simple ways to begin your healing journey.
