In this conversation, we dive into the chakra system and its essential function in human potential and development. Author Ellen Tadd has partnered with Creative Lives to bring her discoveries about the chakras to educators, counsellors, parents, and schools as "A Framework for Wise Education." This practical approach explains the precise function of each chakra, its associated attributes, and how together, the chakras deal with every aspect of our nature. We also discuss some of the challenges that occur when one or more chakras become dominant or diminished in function -- and make specific links between the energy system and pressing concerns for youth (depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, disruptive behaviours, etc). The chakra system can help us better understand human strengths, and weaknesses, and even help us navigate the complexities of supporting the physical health of children in this increasingly toxic world.

Our human energy system is designed to help each of us reach our potential for learning, contribution, and fulfilment! When we understand how to help it function well, it is as though we are tuning ourselves up, so we can bring our full music to the symphony of life.

4. Implementation in Schools
