Victoria Gómez is the founder of the 7 Chakras journey. In this conversation we are talking all things chakras, from Victoria’s personal background and healing journey, the importance of aligning your chakras, the influence of colors and frequencies and how we can bring chakra work into your everyday life. She just launched her unique 7 Chakras journey program where she is incorporating different healing techniques such as chromotherapy, mantras, yoga asanas, rituals, coaching exercises, crystal healing, aromatherapy and cold pressed juices, to learn how to consciously align the chakras and tune mind, body and spirit. 

Can you share a bit about your personal healing journey?

More than 7 years ago I started a healing process that gave me the beautiful opportunity to reconnect with my essence. After having suffered a couple of burnouts due to stress, overwork and deep depression, I decided to pause and deepen myself through different techniques of personal development, including the alignment of the 7 chakras. 

Why did you decide to study the chakra system and what were some revelations?

In a way it is familiar to me because my father's family is from India and I grew up very influenced by this culture where yoga, Ayurveda or inner traditions of Hinduism refer to Chakras and it is a very colourful culture, and as a child, I was really fascinated with Ganesh, Krishna, Lakshmi and the colourful food and clothes. I would say, that it was in a way a call from the unconscious.

The biggest revelation was realizing how little we know about the inner work of our body. The energy body exists alongside the physical body and both require a balanced flow of vital energy. When these energy centres called Chakras are aligned, balanced, and clean, they help us feel energized, focused, and aware of how we create our reality. Because you learn to be more aware of your emotions or moods and how they could constructively affect the well-being of your body, mind and spirit.

Why is aligning/ balancing our chakras so important? 

You learn to feel and prioritize yourself. Besides that you can play with your senses, foster your creativity and add colour to your life. It is an opportunity to connect deeply with your inner child, who is your guide.

Why do colours effect the mood of the chakras? 

Colours exercise a powerful influence on our psyche. When I was studying art and communication, we learned about how color can be used to evoke a certain mood or to create a clear message or response in the viewer. Chromotherapists claim to be able to use light in the form of colour to balance energy lacking from a person's body, whether it be on physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels.

How are frequencies related the chakras? 

Harmonic resonance provides us with objective reasoning and science proving the existence of the chakras, confirming the relationship between the spectrum of 7 colours with the frequency of the 7 chakras. Same happens with mantras and our brain frequency. Everything is related.

Your favourite chakra to work with...

Sacral, because it represents sensuality, creativity, our senses and the recognition of our sexuality that is badly damaged by cultural ideologies and beliefs. There is a lot to heal there but of course, all the chakras are beautiful and incredibly powerful.

The chakra that is most relevant during these hightened times...

Root Chakra. Because is the base and the door that allows energy to rise. Is the connection with Mother Earth, our ancestors and root. It's the beginning of our exploration. For a tree to raise its branches to heaven (Crown Chakra) it must be well rooted.

How came your 7 chakra journey program alive and what can people expect?

It arose from the sum of the therapies and different personal development techniques that I have practised for the last 7 years and new techniques that I am still discovering and practising.

People can look forward to a program with different techniques such as chromotherapy, mantras, yoga asanas, nutrition tips, rituals, coaching exercises, crystal healing, aromatherapy and herbal therapy to learn how to consciously work with the chakras and tune mind, body and spirit. Creativity, play and flexibility are the basis of this journey that can help you improve some aspects of your life.

What was the idea of incorporating our juices into the program? 

When I first saw the Garden Cleanse juices with all those striking colours, similar to the colours of the chakras, I thought it was a perfect match. The ingredients of each juice also matched the appropriate foods for each Chakra. So I did the cleanse before starting my first Chakra journey and it was wonderful. I felt very light and energetic. I then had the idea to suggest Cindy to create a special chakra edition and voilà, here we are doing this amazing and healthy collaboration of which I am very grateful and happy.

How can we bring chakra work into your everyday life? What is a favorite quick chakra tune up?

Being creative and kind to our body, time and energy. It is not complicated at all, you only need to learn how to do it and for that I have created the 7 Chakras journey. A quick chakra tune-up: colours, mantras, aromas, foods, and asanas. One thing for each sense. Your Chakras will bright like diamonds.

“ I practice gratitude and kindness with myself and others every day.”

Can you share some of your daily supporting rituals/ self-care tools for energetic wellbeing? 

When I wake up I take my time because it is very important to take care of the way you start the day. After all, this energy will influence your day trip. I make my own sun salutation and focus my intention, also I take a moment to feel my body, then I know which chakra is on fire or which one needs care. When necessary I make my meditation with the mantra and crystal corresponded to the chakra that needs attention. Of course, I love to dress with the colour of the day and combine with the food colour. I practice gratitude and kindness with myself and others every day.
