Balance your chakras to improve your life, with the powerful 'moving meditation' of Chakradance. If you like the idea of yoga, but not the challenging poses, Chakradance is for you. If you like the idea of meditation, but find it hard to sit still for more than a few minutes, Chakradance is for you. If you know you've got old 'baggage' to release, but find 'talk therapy' too awkward for words, Chakradance is for you. We all want to achieve that wonderful state of 'well-being' in which we feel happier, healthier, more grounded, more balanced, more fully ourselves and more fully alive! With Chakradance, more and more people are finding a way to achieve this. Our chakras are our energy centres (subtle, invisible, but essential to life), that hold mind, body and spirit together. The practice of Chakradance activates, tunes and balances your chakras, to improve your life. Eastern philosophies have long known about the dynamic inter-relationship of mind, body and spirit, and the West, thanks partly to advances in the field of neuro-science, is quickly catching up . . . hence the growth of yoga, of mindfulness, and a whole new world of "well-being" practices. In this book, Chakradance. founder Natalie Southgate explains how this gentle yet powerful 'moving meditation' practice actually works, including examples and stories from her own life and the lives of Chakradancers all over the world. She demonstrates how working with your chakras, using music, movement and mandalas, can help you discover a deeper connection to your true authentic self, leading you to the most wonderful feeling of vibrant well-being. The book also includes links to downloadable chakra-specific music tracks and guided meditations so you can try it for yourself.
