Motherhood, weight loss, spiritual practice, overwhelm, skin care, natural witchy-woo-woo remedies, these are just some of things I love to blog about. I hope you find something that can help you amongst these words. And I hope you know that you're doing an incredible job. 
Feeling energised is easier than you think!
The more I learn about the Chakras, the more intrigued I am!
 
When we interact with others, we interact with the energy fields of these people, and if they are having a bad day, are plagued with negative thoughts, feelings, emotions etc, these can cross into our own energy fields and we pick up on this negativity, which can make us feel depleted, tired, anxious or out of balance. This is especially the case for those of us who are around people a lot, such as in shopping centres, public transport etc. Even family members, friends and colleagues may drain your energy, I’m sure you’ve all experienced this.
 
I know for me personally, I can get really exhausted and out of balance when I’m around energies that don’t really align with my own. It never used to affect me when I was younger, but as I get older it affects me more and more. I don’t know if I’m becoming more sensitive as I get older or the general public is getting more stressed and depressed. To give you an example, being in a shopping centre makes me feel so horrendous, the artificial lights, all the different people, I never leave an experience at the shops feeling amazing that’s for sure.
 
Learning about working with my energy and my chakras has made a world of difference. Mainly, it helped me understand that I was not at the mercy of other peoples energy, I could take control and feel amazing all the time!!
 
If this is your first taste of learning about the energy centres, don’t worry. It’s not as ‘out there’ as you might think. Science has proven that everything is energy - humans are energy!! If you google ‘are humans energy’, it literally says that ‘Quantum physics states that mass and energy are interchangeable, and consequently that mass is merely a manifestation of energy. This means that everything, including humans, is simply energy stored in mass particle form’.
 
For a long time, science and spirituality was seen as two opposite beliefs and ideas, but the above suggests that is changing. The more we know about energy and our bodies, the more we understand that our energy is real, its important, its tangible and it’s everything!! And as energy can be fairly easily and quickly transformed, feeling amazing could literally be seconds away.
 
What are the chakras?
 
Energy flows through our bodies through about 72,000 channels. These channels are known as ‘Nadis’ and this is a Sanskrit word meaning riverbed. All of these 72000 riverbeds flow through our body and there are points where these riverbeds cross over. These cross over points are called Chakras and there are 7 major chakras in your body. These chakras can become blocked and out of balance. 
 
If an imbalance in your energy occurs and is not corrected, physical illness and disease can manifest affecting you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Examples of symptoms include bowel trouble, anxiety, aches and pains, brain fog, the list goes on! The good news is, it's generally super easy to unblock them, and I provide a free guide on how you can unblock your chakras a little further below. 
 
The 7 main chakras are the Crown chakra, Third eye chakra, Throat chakra, Heart chakra, Solar Plexus chakra, Sacral chakra and the Root chakra.


Chances are you may have a blockage in one or more than one of your chakras. I know I get blocked chakras very regularly so need to do regular chakra balance treatments on myself. 

I have put together this quick little guide that will discuss each chakra in detail, how it gets blocked and what foods, exercises and modalities you can use to unblock your chakras. Get it here, for free! 

I also conduct chakra clearing treatments in person in Wollongong. You can read more on that here. 

Im here to support you along this journey, so if you need some support getting your chakras unblocked or you have any questions, you can contact me here. 

Lots of love!

Meet Karissa Howard

 
For years I felt helpless, hopeless and like a total failure. I didn’t have the energy to look after myself let alone two babies, a husband and a household. Staring into the eyes of my children and my husband, I felt like a fraud, like I wasn't deserving of their love. 

Every night I'd go to bed promising myself that tomorrow would be better, I'd try harder, it would be easier, but each morning I'd wake up filled with dread, panic and fear.
 
I had recurring mastitis, brain fog, all I could do was strap the kids in the car and go through drivethru for the biggest coffee money could buy and try and get the energy kick to drag myself through another day. I was packing on the pounds and losing years from my life with the very detrimental hamster wheel I was stuck on.
 
I felt like the harder I tried to work towards the life I wanted to live and the person I wanted to be, the further away I got. I had done so much study, purchased courses, tried all the superfoods, paid for the professional help, I thought I’d tried everything but I just felt beyond helpless. As the days went by, the less energy I had to hide this fear from the world. I was scared of just how much more darkness would engulf me, and when it would stop. I was so exhausted from putting on a brave face and pretending that I was OK. 
 
Things were going backwards for me at a very fast pace. I was becoming more and more depressed and hard to be around. I was not the Mumma I dreamed I would be, and life was not working out the way I thought it was going to.
 
I decided to put my education and skills to the test on myself and played around with what would work. I knew it had to start with a very tiny change, something that wouldn't add to my feelings of overwhelm. And that one thing was the first step towards a whole new life for me and my family. 

Fast forward a few years and by starting with small, manageable and consistent changes, my life is vastly different. I am so proud that this is no longer my reality. I took responsibility for myself and the situation I had created, I realigned with my soul path and I am on an absolute mission to help other women to do the same. 
 
If you are ready to make some amazing shifts in your life, find your purpose and start living life on your terms: 
 
Your happiness is so worth it, and you are not alone. I know it feels hard and overwhelming, and I know you feel like pulling the covers over your head and hiding away from the world most days but I promise you it can get better, and there is another way.  

If you have any questions or need instant support, please reach out to me. I’m just an email away. I hope to see you over in the Facebook group where we continue this conversation and provide much, much more. You are so amazing, you just need to remember that.
