During treatments, Chantal sometimes uses one or more energies of the five elements to strengthen the healing and balancing processes. These elements are: earth, water, fire, air and aether.
The Five Elements
The Five Elements is a system of energy healing that allows the practitioner to access the energies of the elements to bring about healing and balance in treatments and in one's life. It works well by itself, as well as in combination with other healing systems such as Reiki. For example, a person who is experiencing indecision, instability or is accident-prone, would benefit from earth energy (for the 'grounding' effect), whereas someone suffering from depression would benefit from the energy of fire. On those occasions when one or more of these elements would be useful during a healing session, clients are kept informed as to which element(s) is to be used.
The following is an explanation of the benefits to be gained from these energies.
