CHAKRA MEDITATIONAge 13+with Vera Quijano, www.VeraQuijano.comChakras are junction points of spiraling energy that govern your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. They correlate with specific structures and functions of your body, and are heavily influenced by various circumstances in your life. When these wheels of energy endure stress, your body mind coordination is disrupted, and life may become overwhelming. Mantras are sounds that are repeated to aid in concentration. This guided meditation class is designed to utilize mantras to help you heal your seven primary chakras, coordinate and balance the energy between them, and revive your personal power to energize them. The ultimate intention of this practice is to help you create harmony and restore peace to your everyday life. Appropriate for men, women, and teens. Wear comfortable clothing. If preferred, bring a pillow or blanket to sit on.

Free Agent Forms can be downloaded at :www.quickscores.com/redwoodcity

You will be required to complete the entire form, including what sport you would like to play, age, level of ability, positions you play, and a current photo of you.
