Across many ancient traditions, the human body was viewed as more than simply physical. Systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and yogic traditions all described the body as having an energetic component connected to overall wellbeing, balance, and vitality. These systems developed independently across different cultures, yet many shared similar ideas around energy flow, balance, and the relationship between the mind and body.
Bio energy therapy is based around the idea that the body has an energetic or electromagnetic field surrounding it, often referred to as the human energy field or aura. HiddenMind Bio-Energy Therapy works with this energetic field using the hands around the body and through specific energy points, primarily focusing on the head, spine, and heart areas.
The theory behind this approach is that when energy is flowing freely through the body, the body is better able to regulate, repair, and maintain balance. However, stress, trauma, emotional overwhelm, exhaustion, and lifestyle factors may contribute to energetic depletion or imbalance over time.
Many people are familiar with the physical effects of stress:
muscle tension
fatigue
poor sleep
anxiety
digestive issues
burnout
But many holistic traditions believe stress can also affect the body on a more subtle energetic level.
This is where concepts such as chakras and energy channels originate.
The chakra system comes from ancient Indian traditions and describes seven major energy centres positioned along the spine, from the base of the body to the crown of the head. The word “chakra” translates roughly to “wheel” or “disk,” referring to spinning centres of energy within the subtle body.
Each chakra is traditionally associated with different emotional, physical, and psychological functions.
The Root Chakra: Stability & Safety
Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra is associated with grounding, security, safety, and survival instincts. Many traditions believe this centre forms the foundation of the energetic body. Imbalances here are often linked symbolically with anxiety, fear, instability, and feeling disconnected or unsafe.
In modern life, chronic stress, financial pressure, overstimulation, and lack of rest can leave many people feeling constantly “ungrounded” or switched on.
The Sacral Chakra: Emotion & Creativity
Located in the lower abdomen, this chakra is associated with emotional wellbeing, creativity, connection, and emotional flow. Traditional teachings connect this centre with relationships, emotional expression, and adaptability.
When people describe feeling emotionally blocked, disconnected, numb, or creatively stuck, many holistic traditions would interpret this as imbalance within this energetic centre.
The Solar Plexus Chakra: Confidence & Personal Power
Positioned around the upper abdomen, the solar plexus chakra is associated with confidence, self-worth, identity, and motivation. Traditional systems often connect this centre with digestion and emotional resilience.
Long-term stress and anxiety can often impact both digestion and self-confidence simultaneously, which is why this area is frequently discussed in both modern nervous system research and traditional energetic systems.
The Heart Chakra: Connection & Emotional Balance
The heart chakra is associated with compassion, emotional openness, connection, and balance between mind and body. Many traditions view this centre as the bridge between the physical and emotional aspects of ourselves.
People experiencing grief, emotional heaviness, isolation, or difficulty connecting with others may often describe sensations of tightness or heaviness in the chest area itself.
The Throat Chakra: Communication & Expression
Located around the throat and neck area, this chakra is traditionally linked with communication, self-expression, authenticity, and speaking truthfully.
Interestingly, stress often physically manifests in this region through jaw tension, throat tightness, neck stiffness, or difficulty expressing emotions clearly.
The Third Eye Chakra: Clarity & Intuition
Associated with perception, awareness, insight, and mental clarity, the third eye chakra is located around the forehead area. Traditional teachings connect this centre with intuition and the ability to think clearly.
Many people today experience chronic mental overstimulation, brain fog, inability to focus, and constant mental noise; all symptoms increasingly associated with modern nervous system overload.
The Crown Chakra: Awareness & Connection
Located at the top of the head, the crown chakra is associated with consciousness, awareness, meaning, and connection beyond everyday thought.
While these systems are spiritual and philosophical in origin rather than medically scientific, many people find them useful as frameworks for understanding emotional patterns, stress, and overall wellbeing.
Modern science does not currently recognise chakras as measurable physical structures within the body. However, research increasingly supports the idea that stress, emotions, breathing patterns, environment, nervous system regulation, and mental state all have measurable effects on physical wellbeing.
At Anchor Point, bio energy is approached as a complementary wellness practice focused on relaxation, nervous system support, grounding, and creating space for restoration. The aim is not to replace medical treatment, but to support overall wellbeing through calm, presence, and energetic balance in a grounded and approachable way.
