and stress, increases vitality and energy, and acts as a detox, helping the body<br />

eliminate toxins and strengthening the immune system. “The client lies, fully<br />

clothed on a massage bed, while the practitioner gently puts their hands on or<br />

just above the body and promotes healing by encouraging a healthy flow of<br />

energy and balancing the seven chakras, which are the main energy centres in<br />

the body. When all your chakras are open, the energy can flow freely between<br />

them without any blockages.”<br />

“I would love to help people on their journey of healing,” Larissa smiles. “Having<br />

gone through the process myself, I feel the time is right to share this with others.”<br />

She sums it up with a favourite quote by Debbie Ford: “The purpose of our<br />

journey is to restore ourselves to wholeness.”<br />

The seven chakras:<br />

1<br />

The<br />

root or base chakra. It<br />

represents our foundation.<br />

When the root chakra is<br />

open, we feel confident in our<br />

ability to withstand challenges<br />

and stand in our own power.<br />

When it is blocked, we feel<br />

threatened and unstable.<br />

2<br />

The sacral chakra. This<br />

chakra helps us relate to<br />

our emotions and those of<br />

others. It governs creativity and<br />

sexual energy. If it is blocked,<br />

it could feel like you are out of<br />

control.<br />

3<br />

The solar plexus chakra.<br />

The solar plexus is where<br />

your confidence lies. If this<br />

chakra is blocked, you might feel<br />

shame and self-doubt. Those<br />

with an open solar plexus chakra<br />

feel free to express themselves<br />

and let others see them for who<br />

they truly are.<br />

4<br />

The heart chakra. This is<br />

the bridge between the<br />

lower and upper chakras. It<br />

can influence your ability to give<br />

and receive love - from others<br />

and ourselves. A person whose<br />

heart chakra is blocked might<br />

have difficulty fully opening<br />

up to people and showing<br />

their vulnerability. If your heart<br />

is open, you experience deep<br />

compassion, empathy and love.<br />

5<br />

The<br />

throat chakra. This<br />

chakra is our voice and<br />

controls our ability to<br />

communicate our personal<br />

power. It allows us to express<br />

ourselves fully, truly and openly.<br />

6<br />

The third eye chakra. It<br />

controls our ability to<br />

connect with our intuition.<br />

It is the eye of the soul and<br />

registers information beyond the<br />

surface level.<br />

7<br />

The crown chakra. It sits<br />

at the top of the head<br />

and enables us to be fully<br />

connected spiritually and feeling<br />

at one with all that is.<br />
