Self-empowerment
(Atma-Bodha)
Sandhyaashree has been a life coach for over two decades now. She has come to realise that a particular situation can affect different people in different ways. However, they feel the same emotion in varying degrees. So, after much deliberation she came to the conclusion that teaching people the various tools can and thereby equip and empower them to manage their lives better. ‘Building emotional strength’ is one of the mottos and offerings of Catharsis. The workshops we conduct have this core objective at heart.
The workshops conducted under the banner of Catharsis are Chakra balancing, Bach flower remedies, Initiations to Tarot, Therapeutic Tai-Chi and Reiki.
Chakra Balancing: While there is plenty of literature available on the internet, how to use that information and apply it in your life can be learnt only in a class.
For the uninitiated, there are 7 main chakras. Each relates to some aspect of our life. Balancing the chakras builds a reserve of strength. This helps face situations efficiently and sail through them with ease. Even though we live in the most comfortable times today, most of us feel stressed, anxious or simply exhausted. It is because we have completely tilted the balance of our connective faculties from within to without. It has become more essential than ever before to be equipped with techniques which help restore this balance. Chakra Balancing is one such technique which has multiple benefits for physical, mental and spiritual well-being. It is simple to follow and takes only a few minutes to practise.
The flow of the 5 online classes will be as follows:
CLASS 1 – Introduction and understanding the functions of the Root Chakra.
CLASS 2 – Understanding the functions of the Sacral Plexus and Solar Plexus
Chakra.
CLASS 3 – Understanding the functions of the Heart & Throat Chakra.

Chakra balancing helps to attain equilibrium in one’s life. Hence practicing it on a daily basis is advisable.
Any individual who has a desire to lead a healthy and balanced life can practise Chakra balancing.
Ideally, the first step is to self -heal for a minimum of 21 days. If you need to heal others then, it would be advisable to work on your own chakras for a specific period of time for eg. 90 days. Only after one experiences success in their own life should one try to heal someone else.
a. It would be advisable to attend all the sessions as each session is unique. However, if one session is missed, Catharsis will provide a recorded version for your continuity and understanding.
b. Individuals on the Chakra balancing course should practise this modality in the mornings before attending a session.

As we live in a very competitive world which wasn’t the case a few years ago and as you have rightly mentioned, in this day and age where work-life balance has become a challenge. Hence, looking after one’s well being should be of utmost priority. Chakra Balancing is the key to attain a balance.

Yes, consuming the essence is essential as there are emotional benefits. Although, individuals can chant the names of the flower remedies or even write it on a piece of paper which would also bring benefits.

There is no wrong flower remedy. Flower remedies work on the emotional wellbeing of an individual. So, even if another essence is consumed, it would give more clarity about the choice of the right flower essence that needs to be consumed
I believe, through my experience of 25 years, that it would be advisable to address our own individual emotions and not expect generic solutions to resolve those issues. For eg. in any given situation two individuals react to the same situation in different ways. Similarly, one ready combination will have different experiences for different individuals. Hence, it would be right to choose flower remedies according to your needs and requirements.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique of alternative healing.
It involves channelling energy by using the palms to draw the universal force or energy. In this technique the Reiki practitioner does not use their personal energy to heal others. In fact they use Reiki symbols for healing an individual. Reiki helps an individual to balance and restore their physical and mental wellbeing.
In this special program, Sandhyaashree initiates the seeker into Reiki. The most important takeaway from this program is that Sandhyaashree shares her rich experience of how Reiki could be effectively practised in our daily lives.
Always remember, once you have been initiated into Reiki you are a medium or channel to source pure life energy from the Universe. This technique does not have the capability to harm anyone.

No, practice is the key. Interpretations of the cards could take time to comprehend. It could take a minimum of at least 6 months to help one, to intuitively hone their skills.
Personally,I feel that one should ideally not depend on these predictions explicitly. Tarot is a navigational tool and can also be used as a pointer for many beginnings. A negative message could mean caution and should not discourage an individual from seeking help from the cards.

The best practice for one to follow would be to read the cards once in 3 months.
It would be ideal for one to store their deck in a designated place and read the cards from the same location only. Tarot is a form of pure energy and must be respected in order to be able to get accurate outcomes. If there is a requirement to carry them to another location, it would be necessary to re-energize them before using them again.

When one closes their eyes, they also learn to adapt to other sensory receptors like hearing and feeling. This process may be hampered when the visual receptors are functioning i.e when one keeps their eyes open. Therefore it is good practice to keep your eyes closed while meditating.
You can meditate as often as you can. Meditation is a process of finding peace from within. The more an individual practices meditation, it will bring benefits.
Beginners need to concentrate while meditating, so it would be advisable to keep eyes closed. However, advance sadhanas are done with eyes open and this needs extensive practice and time.

Life is a personal process and it also depends on an individual’s life purpose. Personally, I feel that meditation helps individuals to declutter and to focus on important issues that can help them lead a balanced life.
Therapeutic Tai Chi
Tai Chi originated in ancient China. There are accounts of where and how it originated, but much of the history of the ancients often is not exact. Tai Chi originates from ancient traditional medicine and martial arts techniques and Qigong. Although it was initially a martial art form, today it is practised the world over mainly as a way to maintain physical well-being.
Chi means life energy force. So, Tai Chi aims at a smooth and powerful flow of life-force energy through our body. Basically, it comprises gentle movements that create a symphony between mind and body. It can effectively do so because it works on 3 aspects. Movements are gentle and controlled. This slows down the heart rate and alleviates anxiety and stress. There is a focus on maintaining the correct posture. The form is very important. This aids the flow of chi in a manner that helps a person be physically and mentally healthy. Movements are slow and graceful. So the body is relaxed but not loose. This brings attention to the body as you can feel every stretch and movement.
Some learn it as a form of martial art, some as a physical movement, some as a form of balancing yin and yang. What I have found is that it clears energy blocks. It can be practised anywhere, open or closed space. You need no equipment or preparation.
