- Welcome!3:32
I'm so excited to have you join me for this comprehensive program developed to help you work on healing your soul through your Chakras! Throughout this course, I will teach you about energy, ritual, the Chakras, a variety of practices and old ways of knowing, and specifically how these relate to healing. I will use two different cultural views along with proven science to help solidify the learning around the ancient ways of knowing and understanding our world, specifically looking at Vedic and Shamanic knowledge. The combination of these two theories of ancient wisdom provides beautifully holistic and palpable learning of this amazing system, and I think you will enjoy what you learn.
This intro is here to help you get the most out of this program, so here are a few pointers for your journey forward:
You Are Your Own Healer: The course has been designed to help you understand the importance of the Chakra system to your overall health and well-being, and assist you in discovering (or re-membering!) how our ability to heal truly lies within ourselves, and there are things we can do to help us on our path to recovery and wellness, outside of Western ideologies.
Dis-Orderly Conduct The course is designed to be taken in the order in which the Chapters and materials are presented. Each chakra module will build upon the prior information, so in order for you to get the most from this program, I encourage you to follow the natural progression of the content. The course is designed to create an awareness in the order our energy rises through these subtle energy bodies, offering you a better understanding as we move through the chakra system in order.
Practice, Practice, Practice! As with any course, the more you put into it, the more you get out! Energy work is a subtle art, and it takes a level of stillness and body-awareness in order to really 'get' it. This is a practical course, which means there is a level of participation that is encouraged in order for you to fully experience the learning, and to help you on your way to developing new habits in which you will hopefully apply these methodologies into your daily life. It is a well-known fact that practice of 21 days is needed in order to make a new skill a habit! I truly hope you will see the benefit of making these practices I will teach you, habitual. I am confident you will find them useful, and I can't wait to hear all about how much they have helped you learn, discover, and grow!
Sit With It. I get it, sometimes we are so hungry for knowledge and solution, that we just want to power our way through something so you can reap the benefits! However..... This is some new learning that really requires lots of pondering, stillness, and a level of quietude in order to fully grasp and understand the concepts and essence of energy work. Intuition and sensitivity to energy may come easy for you, or maybe, if you are like the vast majority of people, the skill has become dormant and lost from disuse. I highly recommend sitting with the lessons as they come, and doing them one day, or once every two days, to allow the information and practice to fully integrate. We are re-wakening the body, forcing it to remember an ancient system that we have been likely neglecting for all of, if not most of, our lives! Be patient, kind, and gentle to yourself. As always, be open to new ways of understanding our bodies: quite often, our left-brain gets in the way of us expanding into our full potential. It's a process :)
Write That Stuff Down! I can't stress the importance of taking notes! Not only for learning purposes (the act of physically writing helps solidify the learning into our long-term memory!) but also for reflections. At this point, it becomes journaling. It doesn't have to be pretty, and no one but you has to ever read it! I would *hope* that you will stick with these practices and log your journey along the way. When we do this, we create an opportunity for us to go back, read our notes from the beginning, and realize how far we have come! This is especially powerful when we have days when we feel stuck, or that we're not making any progress. I have created a beautiful full-color Workbook as well as a Ceremonies & Rituals handbook that is included in this program. I encourage you to get these printed and utilize them. There is something grounding and sacred about a book that highlights our path: journals have this power. It is designed to make you do the work of reflecting, discovering, uncovering, and growing.
Let's Talk About It! I encourage you to participate in discussions about your experiences throughout the course. The act of sharing in a sacred space (this online little world this course resides) is a wonderful way to solidify your learning and understand the journey of healing from the perspectives of others. I can also be reached by the email address in the Workbook should you wish to ask me any questions or need clarification.
So are you ready?!? Let's get started!

- Instructor Introduction Video6:57
- Humans & The History of Ceremony & Ritual7:48
How can ceremony and ritual help us heal? We look at this phenomenon and learn why it is important for healing, even today.
- The Four Levels of Engagement3:40
Learn how we engage with our world from indigenous perspectives, and how we can consider these levels when we are doing the work on our own healing path.
- Ancient Ways of Understanding Energy7:03
The ancient cultures had a deep understanding of the subtle energies of our world, and how these affected the health and wellbeing of their people, their resources (plants, animals, water, etc.) and their health. This lesson looks at the perspective of these 'ways of knowing' and how this can be beneficial to us in our modern world.
- The Power of Intention4:43
Learn the power of intention, and how this simple act can manifest your world into reality.
- Therapeutic Shamanism & the Journey14:17
What is Shamanism anyways? How is a drum journey useful? This lesson demystifies these questions and uncovers how these ancient practices can be of benefit.
- Introduction: The Chakras12:22
A brief overview of the chakra system: a unique subtle energy body that makes up part of our own physiology as humans. Learn the purpose of this unique system and the importance of understanding it in order to heal.
- The Structure of the Chakras4:57
Learn where these energy bodies reside within us, and how they interact with our surrounding environment.
- Chakra Development1:45
Learn how our chakras develop, just as we do, in phases throughout our lifetime.
- What the Chakras Have to Say2:52
What information can we get from our chakras? Learn how this can benefit your healing.
- Becoming Body Aware: the Body Scan16:41
Tuning into our subtle energy bodies is necessary in order to utilize the information from them. This lesson speaks about the importance of this practice.
- Working With the Energy Fields: What Does that Feel Like?11:53
When we work with subtle energy, we need to hone our ability to sense using our right side brain. This can be challenging as we live predominantly in a world where we are required to use our left side, thinking brain.
By quieting the critical, logical, and analytical side, we allow the right side of our hemisphere to engage in our intuition, imagination, ability to mentally visualize, and our ability to set intention. When we are actively engaging in right-sided brain activities, we open ourselves up to healing.
Honing our skills in this area takes some mindful practices. Two techniques are covered in this video:
Awakening the hands to become sensitive to subtle energy
Allowing our hands and our other senses to make sense of our world by working together
As you work through the lessons for each chakra, be sure to use your hands to guide your practice as you work within your own energy field. When you discover imbalances and experiences that you want to work on, simply through intention, visualization and directing energetic flow, we are able to re-balance and modulate these energetic fields.
Practice, practice, practice! And have fun!
- Creating Sacred Space4:10
Before any healing can be done on a deeper level, there is a benefit to connecting to our environments and world in an energetic manner. "Intention" is known to be a powerful tool, that has actually been measured to heal on its own, without any other means. "Connecting" occurs not only through our intention, but from our practice: this involves a combination of intention, ritual, ceremony, and various visualizations or other sensory experiences. In order to do this effectively, and safely, it is crucial that we learn how to create sacred space.
Throughout this program, we will not only be creating a sacred space but opening sacred space before any healing work is done.
Creating sacred space is just as it sounds: finding an area that you can make sacred, and carry out your ceremony, and rituals in a revered manner. Opening sacred space is the ritual we go through prior to any healing work we do. This creates that ceremony that our brains require in order to prioritize the learning and reprogramming from old patterns and ways of being, into new stories that can change the trajectory of our lives.
As we work through the series of 8 Chakras in this particular program, I feel fully confident that you will have the act of opening sacred space for yourself ritualized in no time!
As discussed in the lesson about the Four Levels of Engagement, we need to be able to call upon the body, mind, soul, and spirit in order to be effective in our efforts to discover, dissolve and develop the energetic blockages that keep us unhappy and unwell on all levels. When we open sacred space we call in the four directions. Find the Prayer for opening Calling in the Four Directions in your Ceremonies & Rituals handbook in Module 11.
The following video goes through the creation of sacred space, to give you some ideas and meaning behind this creative endeavor. In the next lesson, we will examine the ritual of opening sacred space, which you will want to do before any healing work.
- Opening Sacred Space10:35
When we take the time to 'open' sacred space before we do any sort of healing work, we are consciously connecting to the energetic fields that feed and inform us, through ceremony and ritual. Remember from the prior lesson, that we actually need ceremony and ritual in order to embody change on an energetic level. This comes by way of our brain storing the memory of the event attached to the ceremony or ritual in a way in which it not only recognizes it as being important but as also imprinting on our energetic fields because we engage our entire system: mental, physical, soul, and spirit in the process.
In the attached video, I will go through the opening of sacred space with you. I tend to use the means of calling in the Four Directions, as used by ancient indigenous cultures. For me, this resonates. You may choose to find another way to call in the earthly energies to surround you, and that is fine as well. The intention should always be the same, however.... to make a connection to the energies in our environment that we know keep us healthy and connected.
- Chakra 1: The Root5:52

- Journey to the Lower World: Root Chakra0:17
Please read this through before starting:
In this audio, I will take you on a journey through your Axis Mundi to the Lower World, where we will visit this realm to gain information of the Root Chakra. It is here that we visit our very earliest memory of a past life with the help of a guide. We land here at a moment that is just before our death during this past lifetime. We experience a world, unlike our present-day world, perhaps in a time unknown to us, or a place and people perhaps we are not familiar with today but will know from this past life.
Using our visualization skills, we are able to access information about this crucial time of life, heal, and bring back information that we can use to understand the energetic programming that occurred for us with our first chakra.
Following this journey, we will participate in the Fire Ceremony where we will release and transform our karmic knowledge, freeing us from a life fated to us from our past, and paving the way to a new Destiny.
What You Will Need:
Put your pets/children/partners/friends on hold for a 1/2 hour.
Dress comfortably in clothing that is loose and not binding.

You may want to call in the 4 Directions for support and protection.
Light your candle and have your fire stick ready for the Fire Ceremony at the end. Make sure this is somewhere safe and away from where you are laying.
Have a journal/notepaper and pen handy to record your experience as you will need this for the next lesson.
Some people find they journey better if they cover their eyes with an eye mask or scarf. You may choose to try this.
Turn your phone off or turn off the sound so you have no interruptions.
Set your Intention: What is it you want to gain from this journey that will help you?

Heart tuning is a powerful means of 'tuning in' and 'turning up' the energy of your chakras. This simple exercise is found in variations throughout energy medicine worldwide such as the Eden Method, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and Healing Touch among many others.
This is a great practice to do after working through the chakras, in particular when you feel there have been some energetic shifts, releases, or changes related to your healing journey.
- Heart Lock-In Technique1:28
HeartMath is a modality that offers some unique and powerful ways to allow the heart and mind to achieve a mutual balance. The science behind HeartMath is intriguing: formed by the joint efforts of a cardiologist, neurologist, and psychologist, this modality focuses on a variety of techniques that are used to bring the heart into a state of "coherence". It is based on the measure of the heart rate variability, and is known that in people who are in stress response, or unwell, this variability is low: the higher our heart rate variability score, the healthier we are. A 'coherent' state is when we are able to bring the heart rate into a rhythmic sine wave where it regulates and the variability rises. It is from within this state that the heart signals to the brain that everything is copasetic and therefore, sends the signal to shut down the Stress/Trauma response activated by the Limbic brain. It is helpful for any moment in which we feel out of balance in the heart area, or feel our emotions getting the best of us.
This technique is very easy to adopt into your daily routine and takes no special equipment, or skill. Let's explore this technique together now. Get yourself comfortable in a meditative posture, either in a chair or on a cushion, and let's begin!

Chanting is the process of utilizing the vibration of sound to assist in 'boosting' our meditation practice: our connection to our right-brain and our subtle energy fields. Incorporating chanting is another way to enrich your healing journey through the chakras.
- Journey to the Lower World: Throat Chakra0:17
In this journey, we once again travel to the Lower Realm to discover any past life programming that we can release from this chakra.
We will visit a time in the past, with the aid of our Spirit Guide, where we will learn about some of the informative impressions that programmed this chakra. We will release this karma from our field, allowing us to heal and grow as we move through this lifetime.

Description
Are you unsatisfied with conventional therapies that leave you feeling like you need more in order to heal?
Are you tired of feeling like you're spinning your wheels with getting your health on track?
Are you seeking a deeper connection to your body that provides you with a better understanding and allows you to take charge of your own healing journey?
This program offers comprehensive, practical teachings about how we can use the chakras to heal. We explore ways to decipher these subtle energy systems of the body and begin to understand how to attune to them and listen to what they have to say.
We consider the earth-based approach to wellness from ancient cultures, and how modern-day science is beginning to understand the value of this wisdom. When we understand how we energetically engage with our world, we open ourselves up to more profound levels of awareness, connection, and ultimate healing.
We explore ways to make connections to the chakras by learning to use the right-side brain and regain the trust and confidence of using our intuition, sensations, and imagination to restore left brain/right brain balance. We also use methods of accessing information that relies on neuroplasticity concepts and overlay this with shamanic drum journeys to provide an exciting way to obtain information about our energetic health.
Through ceremony and ritual, we tie the learning together into interactive and fun ways of embodying the teaching. The goal is to awaken our own capacity to heal ourselves through intimate awareness of what our body is telling us it needs. We begin to integrate body, mind, spirit, and soul into a whole new way of healing and being in the world.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in developing their intuition and sensitivity to the subtle energy systems of the body, to aid in their self-healing journey
