The aim of this work is to open our full potential as a human being, to reconnect our essential nature and to apply our inner discoveries to daily life.
This is a process of learning and understanding the different dimensions of being alive, where we investigate in-depth the many aspects of being human, by moving through all levels of experience:
° Survival and manifestation
° Emotional flow and connection
° Power and energy
° Love and relationship
° Communication and creativity
° Inner-vision and intuition
° Consciousness and life purpose
The TRAINING FOR LIFE is structured in seven modules of five days each. In each module we focus on one energy center, exploring the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of that center.
You come out of a module with tools to creatively express and manifest what you have discovered and understood in your everyday life.
The work follows the coherent map of the chakra system and the developmental stages of human consciousness.
The approach is a dynamic balance between scientific understanding and evolutionary spirituality, bringing together new discoveries of neuroscience and meditation practices.
* We borrow the concept of the Chakra system from Hinduism, simply as a mapping of the human body in relation to certain qualities and aspects of being human. We don’t enter the philosophical or energetic exploration of Chakras as coming from this ancient tradition.
Only for the 6th and 7th modules we require the participation in at least one of the previous modules.

1. BASE CHAKRA – Nourishing the Roots
Survival instincts, Grounding, Vitality, Health, Wealth, Basic fears
The first chakra is the base of the chakra system and represents the beginning of human consciousness.
It is the container, the ground that supports and nourishes us. It is associated with our physical body and its needs, our connection with the material world and the element earth. It is related to the pelvic floor, genitals, base of spine, legs, and feet.
When the natural balance of the first chakra is disrupted – either by repeated stress or trauma – we might not feel any more at home in our own body, and are either drawn away from our physical existence or get overly identified and concerned with the body and the material world.
The Base Chakra and its issues develop mainly during the prenatal time, the birth experience and the first 12 months after birth. The possibility with this work is to repair old wounds that happened during this period of our lives.
In this module we will:
The primordial energy of the first chakra has an enormous power, vitality and an innate intelligence that is not governed by thinking or understanding, but by simply being in the body.
2. SACRAL CHAKRA – Feelings, Flow and Connection
Emotional identity, Sensuality, Pleasure, Desire, Needs, Belonging
The essence of the second chakra is movement and connection. It is related to the fluidity and formlessness of the element water.
In this center, we start experiencing duality, the vulnerable yet powerful dimension of our feelings, the dynamic interplay between energy and body, our inner and outer world.
Read moreIn this dimension, we become aware of the other and enter the complexity and richness that arises when we engage in the world of connection and relationships. It is the waking of the force of attraction of opposites, a force that wakes up our emotions and desires, wants and needs our feelings and sensations.
When our basic right to feel is not allowed, it creates patterns that keep us from experiencing the richness and aliveness of our feelings and emotions.
The work in the second chakra involves working on emotions, sexuality, and sensuality. It is about bringing awareness to our relationships, which many times are still entangled in dependencies and patterns that come from unresolved emotional wounds we carry from childhood.
The Sacral Chakra and its issues develop mainly from 6 months to 2 years old, when the child learns about relationships and emotions through contact with the mother and other caretakers.
In this module we will:
When our emotions clear and the second chakra heal, it brings us to a natural flow of emotional energy through the body, where we can experience pleasure through movement, contact, and sexuality.
With a healthy Second Chakra, we are able to move through changes and feel a deep sense of connection with people and with life.
3. SOLAR PLEXUS – The Power of Being
Will, Autonomy, Assertiveness, Decisiveness, Originality, Joy, Enthusiasm, Uniqueness
The third Chakra is also called the Power-Chakra and is related to the outward motion and power of the element fire. It is located at the solar plexus area and relates to the diaphragm, stomach, adrenals, and liver.
Read moreThis process involves overcoming unconscious habits which define our personality and our self-image. It develops through facing challenges, daring to be unique, expanding our own limits and risking disapproval for the integrity of our own truth.
In the Solar Plexus, we also encounter a long history of misunderstandings and abuses, where the concept of power is mostly used in a world of competition, comparison, and judgment.
We all carry those energies, consciously or unconsciously. We feel either powerful and in need to control everything around us, or powerless, weak and controlled.
One of the themes of the Third Chakra is the dynamic of the Dominator and the Victim, which are both distortions of power that creates suffering and separation.
In our process of individuation Judgments and Projections play an important and mostly unconscious role. By becoming clear of our Judgments of others we become aware of parts of ourselves, which we “disown” – our psychological Shadow – and project outside.
We spend a lot of energy creating strategies to hide our Shadows. As we learn to identify and to embrace them, we get back our integrity and reconnect with great sources of energy that can then become clarity and compassion.
The third Chakra and its issues develop mostly around the ages of eighteen months to four years, when the child starts asserting itself as separate from the mother, and again becomes very active in teenage time.
In this module we will:
The healing of the third chakra is about finding a balance between in-breath and out-breath, action and relaxation.
When we awaken our Power Chakra we have a mature sense of self in which we connect our presence, dignity, and strength; we experience the freedom and joy of knowing and expressing who we are without the need for outside validation.
4. THE HEART CENTER – Love, Relationship and Intimacy
Acceptance, Tenderness, Empathy, Compassion, Balance of opposites, Relating
The Heart Chakra is at the very center of the chakra system, and it is known as the balancer of opposites: mind and body, self and other, light and shadow, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, ego and unity.
It has the ability to embrace everything that is, without judgment, and is the place from where we feel the interconnectedness of everything in life.
The central focus of the heart is to relate to others, which means connection, compassion, and empathy for another. Compassion dissolves judgment and invites the heart to open.
The most common obstacle for the heart is the absence of self-love, which is the base for intimacy and balance between our self and others. From self-love and self-compassion the heart blossoms into a longing to share, with an opening to give as well as to receive from life.
Fear and grief block these responses and eventually the heart chakra. When grief is acknowledged and expressed, the heart opens to its original loving nature, and we move beyond duality, toward a sense of great acceptance of self and others.
The heart chakra is mostly shaped when we are around three and seven years old, and we are forming our social identity.
In this module we will:
As we heal and unburden our hearts from pain, sadness and the patterns of love that limit us, we find the deeper essence of love, which brings us a profound sense of peace and centeredness.
When we move from wanting love to allowing and cultivating love, we can meet with the heart of another in real intimacy.
5. THROAT CHAKRA – Communication and Creativity
Expression, Resonance, Harmony, Vibration, Clear communication, Novelty
The fifth chakra represents our creative identity and is based on the ways we express ourselves. The essence of this chakra is finding resonance and harmony with all that is vibrating around us.
Is related to the neck, throat, mouth, jaw, and tongue, and its element is “sound” (ether).
Read moreThrough our upbringing, the expression of our natural Self normally has not been supported or even got repressed, and therefore we learned to relate to the world through the mask of our personality and our belief system.
When we learn to give space to our inner reality and to express our truth, we become able to consciously communicate with the outside world, finding the right words and the right expression that make a real meeting possible.
Clear communication is directly related to creativity. When I start reconnecting with my inside and bring myself out clear, through my words, actions and presence, I am no longer enslaved by my conditioning and the events that happen in my life. I take responsibility and start recreating my reality.
The developmental period of the fifth Chakra occurs mostly between the ages of seven and twelve when language has been formed and we are able to use symbols to reach beyond our immediate experience.
In this module we will:
When we learn to work with communication in a playful and conscious attitude we open our voice to speak our truth and free our creativity – we connect, expand and unite with others, re-creating our world.
6. THE THIRD EYE– Inner Vision and Intuition
Ability to see and perceive, Clarity, Imagination, Intuition, Psychic abilities, Insights, Symbolic thinking, Abstraction, Dreams and Vision
The Sixth chakra, also known as the “Third Eye”, is located at the level of brow inside the head. It is related to the eyes, ears and pineal gland. Its essence is the ability to see and perceive with clarity and vision. The element of the sixth chakra is light.
Read moreThrough this center, we are able to look within and see ourselves beyond our self-identity and limited mind and personality patterns.
When the Sixth chakra is closed the mind becomes narrow, confused, unfocused and we have difficulties differentiating reality from imagination, resulting in compulsive thinking, little space for imagination and inability to keep on with a vision.
The developmental stage of Sixth Chakra is around adolescence, with the ability for symbolic thinking and abstraction.
In this chakra, we seek the light of consciousness and learn to focus that light in order to see clearly. That energy is captured into a picture, an idea, a vision, and functions as the blueprint for the manifestation of life.
In this module we work with:
As the Third Eye opens the “Witness” aspect of our being is activated and we start perceiving reality with more clarity, seeing through the density of the physical world into the subltle realm of energy and spirit.
7. THE CROWN –Consciousness. Spirituality and Life Purpose
Wisdom, Universal identity, Understanding, Inspiration, Spiritual connectionn
The Seventh Chakra, also known as “The Crown”, is the center of pure awareness. It is a place of all-knowing, beyond the limits of space and time. It represents “Consciousness”, the basic operating principle of all the chakras that is capable of seeing, speaking, loving, doing, feeling, and living.
Read moreThis is time for resting in the awareness of being, and to realize the “witness”, that which is free of judgment and evaluation, the observer that simply notices all that is.
Here we come to understand the relationship between consciousness and matter, we can move back and forth between space and form; silence and sound; nothing and something; the absolute and the relative.
We will move deeper into Meditation, as a non-doing practice, diving into the silent space of formless consciousness.
This Center develops throughout life, starting at conception, and it has great openings during adulthood, as we start questioning the meaning of life.
In this module we will:
From the crown, we come to the end of the rainbow journey, through the seven centers, and discover it is one more step for a new beginning.
