This venture grows through our individual and collective freewheeling and this post will like wise grow through edits as and when significant ideas emerge.

Hello Prospective Clients - thought I'd provide a little clarity that will answer some of the questions I've been receiving from you all.
You are an ideal client for these services if you like to read .. or to listen.
And discover ...
Reading doesn't necessarily mean read a big fat book. Even if you like reading the writing on the wall, reading people's faces and their thoughts, reading the patterns you see in nature, reading between the lines of a news report, reading the fine print on a document, reading maps, reading signboards, reading graffiti, reading an image and acting on it or being inspired to write about it you are good to go. In fact that means you already have the ingredients in hand.
Again listening need not mean listening to a long lecture without falling asleep. It could mean listening to birdsong, to the sounds of your street waking up, to a friend who has thoughts to share or to a stranger with a tale to tell or to a favorite song. Or listening to podcasts on my channel to which you're invited to subscribe
Yes reading and listening lead to writing - doodling, scribbling, painting, singing, dancing .. tapping into creative resources within and without and crafting a way of life through them. See I'm freewheeling!
Did I leave out watching? I leave it to you to continue the freewheeling in your comments. Observe and absorb through all your available input devices is what I meant to convey.
Now read on ...
For all those who think that Chakra Incognita deals with all those unnamed uncharted "chakras" that are thought to be all over the human body (saying this in a simplistic manner because this is not the topic here) - let's take a look at the true origins. Incognita has been my pen name since 2006. I created this FB account much later as a work account for a venture named Chakratirtha Travels co created by three fine people including myself. As FB would not accept a single name(it seems to do that now) I needed another name to tag on to it and "Chakra" just slipped into place. Chakra Incognita, co founder and owner of CTT. Later Chakratirtha Travels evolved into Chakratirtha - Journeys Into Place, Mind, Spirit. Get where this is going? Yes. Quite another matter that FB forced me to change my name because a troll reported me for spurning unsolicited messages, resulting in the creation of a page bearing that identity, because the identities we create for ourselves matter more than any we are born with or have thrust upon us.
Read Journeys With A Difference to understand more about what "chakra" signified.
An extract:
"Journeys are very often not a linear progression from one point to another. The traveller takes circuitous routes; make detours; pauses to absorb and reflect. Some wind and spiral their way by unexpected means to the destination of their dreams. This is what our Chakratirtha represents. Those curves and pauses, the acts of circling and recircling before landing are meaningful. The internet just made the process so much easier and we use it as a ford to guide you across." We have evolved way beyond that over the years.
"Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel" - get it?
SpiritSpiral Healing as a venture came to life somewhere in my own journey through place, mind, spirit, my own Imramma* as physical travel shut itself down one fine midnight - I will post that story at some other point.
All of us are spirit housed in bodies - so no point in asking me if this is spiritual work
Everything we do is spiritual work
The universe is an unlimited creative resource of which we are a part. Everything mentioned below is part thereof. Read on ...I don't offer yoga classes, Chakra cleansing, tarot reading, astrology and all those things that get mysteriously lumped together in the contemporary perception. (I think each of these are worth their own weight and are valuable tools when deployed by those who have studied and are practising them). Rather I lead you to rethink some of those perceptions by reading deeply, listening mindfully, interacting and conversing, and tapping into your own known as well as undiscovered creative resources. I lead you to look at your relationship with words.
In the course of my journeys with the client (yes connect more dots please) I am happy to have conversations and delve into all those spheres that are mentioned (chakras, tarot et al) and guide you to resources in these fields. There are resources within us and an infinite resource in the shape of the universe that we tap into. We are co-creators. I only lead you to awaken that awareness and make the most of it.
These are services and they cost me time, energy, concentration research and deep-delving within and without. Naturally I charge for them. I could go on but I will leave that for another post.
Please read it and comment - we are all co-creators. Blessings on all our journeys as we circle and spiral our way, as we embrace healing and wholeness
*Imramma - a note from Kim Raikes, co-founder CTT
'"Did I ever talk to you last year about the Celtic tradition of the immrama ("rowing about") where there is no set destination, but rather, a willingness to relinquish oneself to the will of God--"to step out from the familiar place and to journey to a land chosen and revealed by God. The absolutelness of this sense of call was marked by the fact that the majority of such pilgrims typically never communicated again with home or kin." (from my Living Between Worlds book by Sheldrake) "They sentenced themselves to a perpetual banishment."
'Hand in hand with the external or physical journey was the parallel inward journey. "The perfect pilgrimage involved an inner as well as an outer change...The wanderers made themselves displaced persons"... they became "stateless persons" who had no temporal destinations. "As the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 891 CE records, three Irishmen arrived in Cornwall England in a curragh without a steering oar 'because they wanted to go into exile for the love of God, they cared not whither.'"
Note: I am clueless about how one should actually spell the word Imramma - is it Imrama or Immrama or Imramma? I am trying to delve into the etymology. It's also interesting how often I have made these rudderless dashes against rocks and collisions with other boats. Is there a hand that guides, protects and saves those who are set adrift or set themselves adrift?
NOTE: Please visit all the links (you can peruse or deep read as you are called to, down the line) once to get the full picture of what is going on. It will make all the difference.
THE BLOG: This blog is not specifically connected with this venture. For the time being I am using this space to articulate in writing whatever I need to
