These seven chakras form an interconnected system that regulates the flow of energy within the body. By working to balance and align the chakras, we can achieve a greater sense of harmony, well-being, and spiritual growth. Crystals are often used in chakra healing practices to help restore balance and promote energy flow within the body. In my holistic healing practice I use both Reiki Energy and Crystal Energy getting amazing results in each session. Sessions can be in person or distance being both effective and powerful.
