COURSE

Journey Through The Chakras: Understanding & Balancing Your Energy Centres

With Stillness Within

Explore the seven chakras through a journey of understanding, healing and self-discovery. Develop a deeper understanding of these energy centres, their qualities and how they can relate to your physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. In this course, you’ll journey through each chakra from Root to Crown, exploring the themes, qualities and experiences traditionally associated with each energy centre. Alongside the teachings, each stage offers practices designed to support balance and harmony within your energy system, helping you connect with and experience each chakra for yourself. Through guided meditation, breathwork, visualisation, mantra and energy healing, you’ll be invited to explore each energy centre, release what may no longer serve you, and reconnect with the qualities you want to cultivate in your life. This is both an educational and healing journey — giving you an opportunity to learn about the chakra system while experiencing practices that support greater awareness, balance and connection within yourself. You’ll explore: The seven chakras from Root to Crown The qualities and themes associated with each energy centre The crystals and aromatherapy associated with each chakra The seed mantras and their traditional sounds How the chakras can relate to your emotional and energetic experience Guided meditation, breathwork and visualisation practices Reiki and energy healing Ways to deepen your connection with your own energy and inner experience Practices to support greater balance, harmony and awareness within your energy centres Music is an integral part of this journey. Each chakra has its own original piece of music, composed specifically for the course around the musical note associated with that energy centre and then detuned to 432 Hz. The music has been created to complement the qualities of each chakra and accompany you through the meditations, creating a continuous thread of sound as you journey through each energy centre. By the end of the journey, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the seven chakras, along with a collection of practices you can return to whenever you feel called to reconnect with yourself, restore balance and bring greater awareness to your energy.

Learn about each chakra, its energy and purpose, with guided meditations to help balance each energy centre and deepen your connection.

Lesson 1

Introduction To The Journey Through The Chakras

Begin your journey through the seven main chakras with an introduction to the chakra system and the approach we'll take throughout this course. In this session, you'll learn what chakras are understood to represent within traditional spiritual and contemplative practices, and how they can be used as a framework for exploring different aspects of your inner experience. We'll look at the seven-chakra system we'll be working with, from the Root Chakra through to the Crown, and explore the themes associated with each centre. You'll also learn how the course is structured, what to expect from the educational lessons and guided practices, and how to approach the journey with curiosity rather than expectation. Whether you're completely new to chakras or already have some experience with them, this introduction will give you a foundation for exploring the practices that follow. Take a moment to settle in, and when you're ready, let's begin.

Lesson 2

Sacred Space & The Wiracocha — Creating A Space For Practice

In this session, we’ll explore the practice of opening sacred space and the concept of the Wiracocha within shamanic and spiritual practice. You’ll learn why sacred space is used to create a clear transition into meditation and inner work, and explore approaches to working with the directions, the space around the body, intention and awareness. We’ll also look at the concept of the Wiracocha and how it is understood within contemporary shamanic practice, while recognising that Andean spiritual traditions and teachings are diverse and cannot be reduced to a single interpretation. Rather than approaching these practices as something you need to experience in a particular way, you’ll be invited to explore them as a framework for awareness, intention and connection. This session provides the context for the guided practice that follows, where I’ll lead you through opening sacred space and connecting with your Wiracocha.

Lesson 3

Opening Sacred Space & The Wiracocha — Guided Practice

In this guided practice, I’ll lead you through the process of opening sacred space and connecting with your Wiracocha before beginning your chakra meditation. This practice is designed to create a clear and intentional space for the work that follows. You can use it before each chakra meditation, or, if you choose to work with several chakras in one sitting, you only need to open sacred space once at the beginning of your session. Once you’ve learned the practice, you can return to this recording whenever you need a reminder or would like guidance through the process. I recommend completing this practice before beginning your chakra meditation sessions, particularly if you are new to working with sacred space. Take a moment to make yourself comfortable, and when you’re ready, we’ll begin.

Lesson 4

Closing Sacred Space & The Wiracocha — Guided Practice

In this guided practice, I’ll lead you through the process of closing sacred space and bringing your attention fully back into the present moment. This practice is intended to be used at the end of each chakra meditation session. If you’ve worked with several chakras in one sitting, you only need to close sacred space once, at the end of your session. Closing sacred space provides a clear ending to your practice and marks the transition from your inner work back into your everyday surroundings. We’ll gently acknowledge and close the space you opened at the beginning of your session, reconnect with the body, and become aware of the room around you. Once you’ve learned the practice, you can return to this recording whenever you’d like guidance through closing your sacred space. I recommend taking a little time to sit quietly afterwards before immediately moving on with your day, allowing yourself to fully return to your surroundings.

Lesson 5

Root Chakra — Understanding Grounding, Safety & Stability

In this session, we’ll explore the Root Chakra, known as Muladhara, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Root Chakra’s connection with grounding, stability, safety, belonging and our relationship with the physical world. We’ll also explore the symbolism of its associated element, colour and bija mantra, and consider what these ideas can offer as a framework for self-reflection. We’ll look at what it can feel like when these areas of life feel unsettled or overemphasised, and explore simple ways of bringing more awareness to grounding and stability in everyday life. This session provides the context for the Root Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice. You don’t need any previous experience with the chakra system. Simply bring your curiosity and notice what resonates with you.

Lesson 6

Root Chakra — Meditation

Journey into the forest and connect with the grounding energy of the Earth and the quiet presence of the trees. Discover your own sanctuary — a safe, peaceful space where you can let go, deeply relax and reconnect with yourself, the Earth and the divine.

Lesson 7

Sacral Chakra — Understanding Emotions, Creativity & Pleasure

In this session, we’ll explore the Sacral Chakra, known as Svadhisthana, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Sacral Chakra’s relationship with emotions, creativity, pleasure, movement, relationships and our ability to give and receive. We’ll explore the symbolism of its associated element, colour and bija mantra, and consider how these ideas can be used as a framework for self-reflection. We’ll also look at what it can mean when we feel disconnected from our emotions or creativity, or when we struggle with pleasure, connection or healthy boundaries. This session provides the context for the Sacral Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice. You don’t need any previous experience with chakras. Simply bring your curiosity and notice what resonates with you.

Lesson 8

Sacral Chakra — Meditation

Journey into a magical woodland where you’ll reconnect with your inner power and the flowing energy of the Sacral Chakra. Reclaim what you’ve lost, release old emotions and patterns into the water, and make space for joy, creativity, sensuality, and abundance. Flow through a beautiful orange landscape, ending with a deeply immersive visualisation designed to leave you feeling lighter, freer and more connected to yourself.

Lesson 9

Solar Plexus Chakra — Understanding Confidence, Personal Power & Action

In this session, we’ll explore the Solar Plexus Chakra, known as Manipura, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Solar Plexus Chakra’s relationship with personal power, confidence, motivation, will, self-esteem, and our ability to take purposeful action. We’ll explore the symbolism of its associated element, colour and bija mantra, and consider how these ideas can be used as a framework for self-reflection. We’ll also look at the difference between healthy personal power and the need to control, and consider how confidence, boundaries and self-belief can influence the way we move through life. This session provides the context for the Solar Plexus Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice. You don’t need any previous experience with chakras. Simply bring your curiosity and notice what resonates with you.

Lesson 10

Solar Plexus Chakra — Meditation

Journey to a mountain sanctuary bathed in golden sunlight, where you’ll awaken the fire of your Solar Plexus Chakra. Connect with your inner strength, confidence, and personal power as you receive the energy of the sun and the wisdom of the sacred feminine. Through movement, visualisation, mantra, and fire, you’ll explore what it means to reclaim your power, release what no longer serves you, and move forward with greater courage and conviction.

Lesson 11

Heart Chakra — Understanding Love, Compassion & Connection

In this session, we’ll explore the Heart Chakra, known as Anahata, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Heart Chakra’s relationship with love, compassion, connection, forgiveness, acceptance, and our capacity to both give and receive. We’ll explore the symbolism of its associated element, colour and bija mantra, and consider how these ideas can be used as a framework for self-reflection. We’ll also explore the balance between openness and healthy boundaries, and consider how our experiences of trust, connection and vulnerability can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. This session provides the context for the Heart Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice.

Lesson 12

Heart Chakra — Meditation

Journey into an ancient forest and connect with the gentle energy of the Heart Chakra. Root yourself between Earth and sky before opening your heart to love, compassion and deeper connection. Through guided visualisation, breathwork, affirmations and the vibration of the heart mantra, you’ll be invited to release old hurts, practise self-compassion and reconnect with your Highest Self. A deeply nurturing journey into giving and receiving love, while remembering the love that already exists within you.

Lesson 13

Throat Chakra — Understanding Your Voice, Truth & Self-Expression

In this session, we’ll explore the Throat Chakra, known as Vishuddha, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Throat Chakra’s relationship with communication, self-expression, truth, listening, and finding your authentic voice. We’ll explore the symbolism of its associated element, colour and bija mantra, and consider how these ideas can be used as a framework for self-reflection. We’ll also consider the balance between speaking and listening, expressing ourselves honestly while remaining mindful of others, and recognising when we may be holding back what we genuinely want or need to say. This session provides the context for the Throat Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice.

Lesson 14

Throat Chakra — Meditation

Journey to a cliff overlooking a vast blue ocean and sky, where you’ll connect with the energy of the Throat Chakra. Through breathwork, sound, visualisation, mantra and silence, you’ll explore your inner truth, release what may be holding back your expression and create space for clearer communication. As you work with blue light, the throat chakra and the element of ether, you’ll be invited to strengthen your voice, honour your boundaries and reconnect with your creative flow. A powerful visualisation invites you to receive a symbolic gift of truth, empowerment and authentic expression — before carrying that energy back into your everyday life.

Lesson 15

Third Eye Chakra — Understanding Intuition, Perception & Inner Awareness

In this session, we’ll explore the Third Eye Chakra, known as Ajna, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Third Eye Chakra’s relationship with intuition, perception, insight, imagination, and inner awareness. We’ll explore the symbolism of its associated colour and bija mantra, and consider how these ideas can be used as a framework for self-reflection. We’ll also look at the difference between intuition, imagination, expectation and fear, and why developing discernment is an important part of working with inner awareness. We’ll explore the idea of observing our thoughts and perceptions without automatically treating every thought as fact. This session provides the context for the Third Eye Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice. You don’t need to see visions or experience anything unusual during the meditation. Simply bring your curiosity and notice what arises naturally.

Lesson 16

Third Eye Chakra — Meditation

Journey beyond the physical senses and into the expansive inner landscape of the Third Eye Chakra. Through breathwork, visualisation, mantra and deep stillness, you’ll explore intuition, inner vision and the quieter forms of knowing that arise when the mind becomes still. Travel through a rainbow staircase and portal into a vast landscape of stars, where indigo and violet light awaken your Third Eye and invite you to see your life from a wider perspective. You’ll explore themes of consciousness, connection, and unity before returning gently to Earth, bringing your intuition and expanded awareness back into the body.

Lesson 17

Crown Chakra — Understanding Awareness, Connection & Consciousness

In this session, we’ll explore the Crown Chakra, known as Sahasrara, and the themes traditionally associated with it. You’ll learn about the Crown Chakra’s relationship with awareness, consciousness, spiritual connection, meaning, and our sense of something beyond the individual self. We’ll explore the symbolism of the thousand-petalled lotus, its associated colours and the different ways spiritual traditions interpret this centre. We’ll also consider the idea of spiritual connection without requiring any particular religious belief, and explore how contemplation and awareness can become part of everyday life rather than something separate from it. This session provides the context for the Crown Chakra meditation that follows, where you’ll have an opportunity to explore these themes through guided practice. There is no particular experience you need to have during the meditation. You don’t need to see colours, feel energy, or experience a profound spiritual insight. Simply allow yourself to explore the practice with openness and curiosity.

Lesson 18

Crown Chakra — Meditation

Journey into the Crown Chakra, the final stage of your seven-chakra journey. Beginning with grounding breathwork and a peaceful meadow of white flowers, you’ll connect with the Earth below and the Divine above before opening into the expansive energy of the Crown. Through guided visualisation, breath, mantra and deep relaxation, you’ll explore the unfolding lotus of consciousness, travel into a higher realm and meet your Higher Self. You’ll be invited to receive whatever wisdom, guidance or healing is available to you, before experiencing a deeply immersive Reiki healing and gently returning to your body. This final journey is an invitation to experience connection, oneness, inner wisdom and a sense of the sacred — and to bring that sense of connection back with you into your everyday life.

Lesson 19

Closing — Integrating Your 7 Chakra Journey

In this final session, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the journey through the seven chakras and consider how the different themes we’ve explored connect with one another. We’ll revisit the qualities associated with each chakra — from grounding and stability through to awareness and spiritual connection — and consider what you’ve noticed about yourself along the way. Rather than thinking of balance as a fixed state, we’ll explore how our needs and experiences naturally change over time, and how you can continue returning to the practices from this course whenever they feel supportive. You’ll also be invited to reflect on what you’d like to carry forward from your journey, and how you might incorporate chakra meditation, self-reflection or other practices into your everyday life. Take a little time to settle in, reflect on your experience, and acknowledge the journey you’ve taken.
