I've Built a Chakra Course - And It's Not What You'd Expect
I want to tell you what this course is, and what it isn't.
It isn't a beginner's introduction. It isn't a run-through of colours and crystals and "here's the root chakra, here's the crown." If that's what you need, there are plenty of places to find it. This isn't that.
What I've built is a course for people who already have a relationship with this system — who've worked with it, read about it, maybe received healings or facilitated them — and who want to go deeper. People who have a sense that there's more in the chakra system than they've yet accessed, and who are right about that.
It's called The Chakra System Revisited: Energy, Archetypes and the Architecture of Human Experience. It's now live on Insight Timer.
Here's what's in it:
Seven sessions, one per chakra, from root to crown. Each session goes into the life issues the chakra holds — the active questions your soul is working through during the developmental window that chakra governs. What forms in the first seven years at the root. What takes shape between seven and fourteen at the sacral. How the solar plexus handles what arrives between fourteen and twenty-one. And so on, up through the system.
Each session also covers the two archetypes that govern each centre. The positive archetype — what that chakra looks like when it's functioning at full capacity — and the shadow archetype, which is where things get interesting. The Victim at the root. The Martyr at the sacral. The Servant at the solar plexus. The Actor or Actress at the heart. The Silent Child at the throat. The Intellectual at the third eye. The Egoist at the crown.
I've spent years watching these patterns operate in people's lives. The martyr who is the most generous person in the room and whose generosity is, underneath, a way of never having to receive anything. The person who understands their wounds perfectly, can describe them with precision, and hasn't moved an inch closer to healing because intellectual understanding isn't the same thing as integration. The spiritual egoist who looks like the most dedicated practitioner and whose practice is quietly serving their image rather than their actual opening.
These aren't judgements. They're maps. And the more precisely you can see the pattern, the more directly you can work with it.
There's also material in here that I haven't seen mapped this way anywhere else.
The sacral chakra's connection to the etheric body — the energy trail that precedes you into a room and lingers after you leave. The signature of your presence, energetically, and what it tells you about what you're actually broadcasting regardless of what you think you're putting out.
The solar plexus as a portal between 3D and 4D dimensions — the physical crossroads where all meanings, causes and effects are encoded. Where your personality as it manifests in the world is literally held. And what it means when that centre is chronically compromised — not just for confidence and willpower, but for visibility, for the immune system, for the way your spiritual self actualises through your physical life.
The throat chakra's connection to the causal body — the body of cause and karma. Every word you speak is a cause. It creates an effect somewhere, in someone, including in you. That makes communication practice and spiritual practice the same thing. They always were.
The third eye's connection to the spiritual body — which holds the totality of your soul's memory, not just from this lifetime. The accumulated wisdom of everything you've ever been. Developing the third eye is not just about improving your intuition in this life. It's about learning to access a much older knowing.
And the crown's relationship with the Egregore — the living field of collective consciousness, from the ancient Greek. The crown is your connection point to that field. It is also, which I think most people don't fully appreciate, directly responsible for both your inspiration and your depression. Both arise from the quality of that connection.
At the end of each session there are journal prompts. Twenty-eight per chakra, organised into themes. I mean them seriously. They're not gentle. They're designed to reach the places where spiritual literacy and actual healing diverge — where you understand something in your mind and haven't yet touched it in your body. Where a pattern has been named and hasn't shifted. Where you're doing all the recognised work and something essential is still not moving.
Those places are where I've always found the most interesting work to do. They're also where this course is pointed.
I built this because the chakra system contains more than most courses give it credit for. Not because those courses are wrong, but because there's a depth to this material that takes years of working with real people to really see — and I wanted to put what I've seen into something accessible.
If you've been working with this system for a while and feel ready to go further, this is for you.
