The Chakra Connection is a full body balancing technique that facilitates movement of energy from chakra to
chakra by connecting the major and minor energy centers, and opening them to flow freely. The Chakra
Connection was developed by W. Brugh Joy, M.D. and is referred to in his book Joys Way. Designed to connect,
open and balance the energy centers and enhance the flow of energy in the body, it can be used alone or in
combination with other energy techniques.
The Chakra Connection is an excellent self-care technique, which can be incorporated into your daily or weekly self-carepractice. It can also be effectively used to care for yourself during stressful situations, times of decision making or

Procedure: The Self Chakra Connection can be done sitting or lying down. Begin by opening either foot
chakra by holding the foot position shown in figure 1 for approximately one minute.
