"When we choose to love we choose to move against fear—against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect—to find ourselves in the other."
—bell hooks (2001, "All About Love: New Visions")
Community Healing
The Chakra energy system is something we all have full access to. Yet, traumas and social/parental conditioning can shut down these powerful energy centers in the body.
Each Chakra Center contains a certain energy that supports your evolutionary life path. A blocked Chakra Center interferes with your ability to express your unique, authentic life force energy in every moment. The goal is to balance these energy centers so that they can receive and transmit energy fully and with ease.
Join me in 2023 to clear energetic blocks in each of the Chakra Centers using EFT Tapping, a transformational somatic energy tool that promotes emotional and physical well-being. These community classes are free, every 3rd Tuesday of the month.
Join this free monthly community-healing EFT class. Everyone is welcome
What is EFT Tapping?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and it involves tapping on acupressure points* while you are speaking about something that’s emotionally charged, followed by an acceptance statement. For example, the set-up statement of: “Even though I'm feeling angry and disappointed,” followed by an acceptance statement of: “I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
As a result of tapping on acupressure points, while expressing your emotions, your cortisol levels are quickly lowered, promoting a feeling of well-being. Here is a recent study that shows that EFT Tapping, an “evidence-based self-help therapeutic method,” Improves Multiple Physiological Markers of Health.
*In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these acupressure points are located along meridians of energy in the body. Read more about these energy channels in the body (meridians in TCM, and nadis in Ayurveda).
Here are some video links to see how EFT Tapping works:

What is the format of this class?
We will start with each person checking in and sharing what they want to clear in their Chakra Center. After check-ins, we will center ourselves with a mindfulness practice, then tap together as a group for about 20-30 mins. on what has been shared. We will close with each person sharing what has shifted for them energetically.
