The Third Eye Chakra and what you need to know
We have 7 main Chakras located in the photo below, with the corresponding colour associated with that Chakra.
Chakras are described by as wheels of light that spin in different directions within each Chakra and are fed from the Cosmos as well as the Core of Mother Earth. This could also be referred to as life force energy.
When a Chakra gets clogged or blocked the wheels slow down, life force energy is choked or cut off and we can start to experience symptoms or dis-ease in our physical body, as described in the self-care section below.

During my couch healing time I learned about juicing, started juicing many different kinds and enjoying most of them. I am sure this helped my healing come along plus the minimum 1 hour of physio for each day.
Overall I was eating well, and the main pain I had in my body was my knee as it healed.
Then August hit and we had 2 big shows, with the 4 days in-between shows “off”. Really it was time spend unpacking, then repacking up new displays for the medieval show. We were busy and this was a real test for my knee, as it involved 7 days of standing all day.
