Chakracise - From Conception

Harrison’s Chakracise has been 30 years in its evolution from the notion that traditional yoga and meditation techniques don’t quite work for most women, and that our moments of clarity come after movement like walking, running, exercising, or dancing.  Her research began as casual survey of women around her and led to the discovery that the feminine energy flow is like “a water wheel or propeller” on either side of our bodies. “Women can activate all of our chakras at once and stay connected while being active,” she says.   

Drawing an invisible circle about her head, Harrison goes on to show how the male energy flow is more "like a sombrero around the Third Eye and pineal gland.” “Those in the male flow," she adds, "only activate one chakra at a time and are either in the physical or the divine.”  

With this acknowledgment that men and women are very different, Harrison set out to create a meditation program for women, first called AIM for Active Inspirational Meditation, and then AYM for Active Yoga & Meditation.  She realized early on that as she incorporated techniques culled from her years of experience, she had developed a constant healing system.  In keeping with the philosophy she employs when treating her Willow System clients, Harrison uses a “feminine” or non-linear approach, pulling the best or most applicable pieces of different modalities into a unique program that gives results on any or all of our levels - physical, mental, emotional, systemic, spiritual, even DNA.

Why Chakracise?

I felt the carpet between my toes, yes, my knees were slightly bent, yes, I was sitting slightly, yes, my arms fell relaxedly by my side, and were there any thoughts in my head?  “Don’t think,” I played those words in my head.  Was that a thought?  As I stood there not thinking, my body started to gently sway.  Oh nice, I thought, that’s my qi.  I can feel it.  

The teacher came up behind me and would affirm my good work, I thought.  Instead she whispered, Keep your body still.  

That scene plays out every day, as women are prodded to separate the yin from the yang by quieting the chatterbox in our heads and stripping the movement out of stillness.  As Rita Harrison, founder of Chakracise, so colorfully puts it, “Meditating like a man is like having women pee while we’re standing.”

Chakracise - the only workout built on the feminine energy flow.
