This extended course is CPD accredited on completion of 1 case study and is an intricate journey through the ancient Chakra System. The course begins by tracing the origins of the system back to traditional yogic traditions, which we will also introduce – alongside other beliefs and practices from around the world.

We complete the course by looking at the Chakra System as a modern tool for self-development and holistic healing.

This course is suitable for anyone, but might appeal more to those who have a basic knowledge of and interest in the system. It is ideal for those with a career in holistic health, complementary therapies, yoga, meditation and energy healing.

The participants will also learn about the importance of unobstructed energy flow in the maintenance and promotion of holistic health. The concept of energy channels is also introduced, before we advance through each of the chakra points.

The course does not cover each chakra in depth, but does provide a comprehensive overview of what each one represents. We will also briefly examine ways of balancing and aligning the chakras as we introduce them and their associations. By the end of the 4 weeks, students will have a basic, but sound foundational knowledge of the chakras and their potential for enhancing human wellbeing.

The course is suitable for anyone, particularly those with an interest or career in holistic health or energy medicine.
