Chakana News (Oct, 23)

HELLO OCTOBER

This month as we allow the aroma of spring to fill our lungs and the lightness of being that arrives when summer is approaching to settle within us, we invite you to contemplate your own wellbeing.

What matters to you most? What area’s of your life need more loving attention? What has this last year unveiled for you? Can you allow yourself the gift of walking with a little more grace, a little more kindness, a little more heart?

We invite you to ponder these questions and more and as we dive into the heart of things this November, with Chakana’s very 1st Day Retreat. Curated by Mardi, weaving the layers as she so eloquently does, we promise it will be a day you that you won’t regret being a part of. Keep reading to find out more.

MEET OUR GORGEOUS SAMI

What does wellness mean to you?

Wellness to me is a collaboration of self-care: filling your energetic expanse, caring for your emotional and physical body and spiritual wellbeing, creating connections with nature and loved ones and having compassion for oneself and others. I feel this creates a oneness and beautiful energetic exchange within this universe.

What do you love about what you do?

I love that I am able to make people feel good, to make them feel beautiful and I hope, to alleviate the pressures of today’s society. It is the biggest gift and honour. I’m so grateful for it.

What’s your fave Chakana product?

It would have to be the Vitamin A serum, it leaves the skin supple and dewy – gotta love the glow too!

Fave Chakana treatment?

The Reveal package is my favourite! Nothing better than exfoliating away the troubles of your day and a beautiful soak in the most amazing bathtub followed by a soulful massage.

How does your morning begin?

Always in nature! I go for a long walk in the bush followed by a pilates class on the mat at home, moving my body and being strong is so important for this line of work and being in nature is a potent way or restoring my energy each day.

You would never leave home without?

Lip balm, a kiss from my man and an assortment of crystals from my collection depending on what energy I need through the day.

What do you do to relax?

Spend time with my loving partner and my friends and family, being in the ocean, sun and nature! Creating delicious food for my loved ones.

THE SCENT-SORY CONNECTION

Did you know that scent affects mood, concentration, memory recall and emotion. In fact, although we often look at pictures to remember the past, scent is actually better at helping us remember. 75% of all emotions generated every day are due to smell, and because of this, we are 100 times more likely to remember something we smell compared with something we see, hear or touch. And that’s where the Mardi’s Chakana Ascend range comes in. Understanding the power of the senses as she does, her Ascend Range integrates not just scent, but sound as well. Each of the 6 sound-activated aromas have been designed to affect different energy centres, anchoring you into the body, into the moment. With the power of scent recall, and the elements within each blend associated with the energetic properties of your being, you’ll be able to land right into a harmonious moment at an instance, balanced and centred through scent.

The aromas you all comment on at entering Chakana are from these blends. They are the blends we use at the beginning and throughout your treatment.

Roller Perfume, Mist anyone?? Who doesn’t want to smell like Chakana??

TREATMENT SPOTLIGHT

The ultimate reveal. Begin with a deep facial cleanse and gentle dry body brush for a powerful lymphatic detoxification.

Make your self-care a priority this month and make it a ritual of love,

Chakana
