April 22, 2023Ep 32: The Root Chakra’s Role in Chronic Pain w/ Michelle Shlafman, MS, LPC, DCEP, BCHHC
With Michelle Shlafman and Destiny Winters LPC
If you've ever felt like your external life was affecting your inner world, then you might want to explore how direct work on the chakras can help. There are so many modalities to choose from, such as Reiki, breath work, and EFT/tapping. However, if you're willing to take the leap and try something new, then you might just discover a whole new level of balance and harmony in your life. Reiki, for example, is a powerful tool for balancing the chakras and creating a sense of inner peace. But if you're skeptical about energy work, then it might be hard to take that first step.
