To be in alignment is to feel whole, clear and balanced within our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, as well as within the cosmos. Alignment is a process of clearing, purging and releasing that which does not serve us. In other words, are we coherent with the Universal Law governing each chakra?

Chakras are non-physical, multi-dimensional, energetic portals in the layered body that form a gravitational link with our DNA strands, holding it in place and creating a portal of communication between our physical and non-physical Selves.

The “8th” chakra is sometimes perceived above our heads, but can be seen surrounding our entire bodies; therefore, it is often referred to as the aura. At the same time, however, one may accurately say that our aura is made up of all of our chakras and therefore contains a wide array of colours and information that are always changing depending on our state of being and level of consciousness.
