#1 Bestselling Expert on the Chakra System
Dr. Anodea Judith
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
Expand your energy, accelerate your personal evolution, and build your capacity to access the full spectrum of your life force
At the heart of healing and indeed, much of our enjoyment of life, is energy.
Through the ages it has been called by many names: prana, chi, ki, libido, orgone energy, elan vitale. It’s at the foundation of Chinese medicine, yoga, holistic health practices and martial arts.
Bestselling author Anodea Judith calls it CHARGE, which also offers us an illuminating acronym: Consciousness Having a Really Genuine Experience.
Charge is the source of our basic aliveness. It powers our lives, just like electricity runs our computers. We can use the charge that is available to us in positive and healthy ways or it can short circuit us and lead to breakdown.
When you have a charge, you know it. You may be scared, excited, sexually turned on, or feel like you’re about to cry. You may also have difficulty handling the “charge” in an argument. Perhaps you’re frequently anxious and don’t know quite what to do with your charge.
OR, you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have enough charge — tasks seem overwhelming, you feel tired and sluggish or simply depressed.
Charge gets blocked when we suffer trauma and becomes out of balance when we are ill.
When we learn to balance, open and integrate our charge, we experience deep growth. Indeed, charge may be the single most important capacity we can build for our personal health and empowerment, as well as for our relationships and careers.
Holistic practitioners sometimes refer to working with our charge as “energy management” but they often don’t have much insight into what it takes to develop, sustain and optimize our charge.
That’s because charge is an emerging area for practice, one that goes beyond traditional health disciplines into realms of consciousness and spirituality while still being grounded in our bodies and emotions.
Charge is about the vibrancy of our whole system, uniting our psyche with our bodies, and our emotions with our soul.
Ultimately, we all want to utilize and manage your life force appropriately. This means cultivating the ability to be in the center of your charge, no matter what’s happening. This center rises up and down your core, where the energy centers known as chakras reside.
You can think of your core like the water main that brings water into your home; if there are blockages, you only have a trickle of water to perform the most essential household tasks. That’s why opening and balancing your core energy is essential to your body and being.
Caring for Your Energy System
Caring for your internal energy system is every bit as critical as making sure the water in your home is delivered safely and properly where you need it. When you have kinks in your hoses, blockages in your drains, or leaks in your pipes, you not only waste water, you run the risk of real disaster.
If your energy system is out of whack you may experience:
- A lack of groundedness
- Tension or conflict in relationships
- Emotional wounds that don’t seem to heal
- Diminished energy, love and joy
- Difficulty with finances
- Blocks to your power and your gifts
- Lackluster sex
- Wobbly spiritual connection
- Confusion over right action and direction
Understanding and working with charge in your system allays many of these issues and helps optimize your energy, which is at the core of living an optimized life, one in which you are centered, inspired, and in a flow state much more of the time.
As you master your charge, your capacity for intimacy increases, as does your confidence at work, your physical vitality, and your sense of connection with the natural world.
You are literally “lit up” by plugging into the never-ending source of energy in the universe.
So how do you plug in?
The Charge Activation Training is designed to take your understanding of energy, psychology and embodiment to the next level. You’ll discover ways you can make energy practical for your health, relationships, and work and receive insights and practices you can apply in even the busiest or most stressful situations.
The Charge Activation Training is akin to a 60,000 mile tuneup for your body, emotions and mind. It offers deep clearing, aligning, opening and balancing of the energies at your core, putting you on a better trajectory for navigating life.
These energies are symbolized in the East by chakras — spinning wheels of energy that run up and down your spine.
For millennia, yogis have recognized the chakras as the mechanism for translating the undifferentiated energy of the universe into the unique and beautiful expression of your body, emotions, heart, voice and mind.
As we grow up, we’re more prone to create constrictions in these energy centers. For instance, if we assert ourselves and are punished for this, our power center may close down.
That’s how our psychology gets tangled up with our energy systems and bodies.
Trauma, fears and negative experiences can lead to long-term imbalances in your energy system that manifest into insecurity, anger, stress or disease.
Just as a periodic detox of your physical body can restore your health, a cleanse of your energetic body can open new possibilities for vitality, creativity and joie de vivre .
Powering Up with a Master Teacher
Anodea Judith has spent her life studying charge. She’s a world-renowned workshop leader, somatic psychotherapist, writer and teacher on chakras, healing, and yoga.
In The Charge Activation Training, Anodea will transform the way you think about your energy, emotions and mind. You’ll receive a new paradigm for energetic, physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual healing that you can apply to yourself or in your work with clients.
After nearly 40 years of teaching on the interface of psychology, energy, and consciousness and writing what are considered definitive books on our energy system (such as Wheels of Life and Eastern Body, Western Mind), Anodea knows exactly what works (and what doesn’t) to optimize your charge with precision.
She’ll offer powerful insights and practices from her latest work on Charge, which can optimize the charge in your system and further awaken your consciousness. With the 26-part format, you’ll be mentored by Anodea and develop life-affirming, energy-building methods that shift the whole baseline of your life.
Rewire Body, Emotions, Mind and Soul
This journey offers you a psycho-spiritual makeover — a path that will align your inner and outer worlds, so that you can experience greater aliveness, power and connection in every moment.
As you cleanse, balance and align your whole energy system you become a better conductor of charge.
Many systems of personal transformation focus on the distortions, issues and kinks in your personal psychology. But few teachings deal with your energy system as a whole, and show you how you can create a sacred balance and integration of all levels of your being.
And as you integrate and align your energy systems to optimize your charge, your core mission can be more joyfully expressed in the service of the people you’re here to guide, teach, heal or inspire.
Practical Energetic Healing
Many people who work in the healing arts — yogis, therapists, teachers, coaches and bodywork practitioners — have a superficial understanding of our energetic system. In particular, they aren’t trained in the psychology of energy.
This program will give you practical teachings for your personal growth or to use in your healing work with others, including:
- How to expand your “comfort zone” of charge to integrate the full spectrum, from quiet or meditative to ecstatic
- Working with charge through your chakras and diagnosing where charge is getting blocked in your energy system
- Understanding how charge moves in different character structures. For example, the “Schizoid” character structure is prone to getting overcharged, while the “Oral” is undercharged.
- How to use your body as a storage battery for charge and store the optimal amount
- Why charge is essential to heal any trauma you carry
- Handling charge in relationships so that it doesn’t pull
people apart - How charge can give you greater access to satisfying, deep and flowing emotions
- Ways to harness charge for a more exciting and fulfilling
sex life - Practices (both physical and spiritual) for each chakra to awaken and balance the inner with the outer
- Insights into any emotional and spiritual wounds so you can release blocked energy
- How to expand your ability to attract and serve people through your healing or coaching practice.
The Charge Activation Training offers a rare opportunity to be guided and inspired by Anodea Judith. She has sold more than 500,000 books and DVDs and built a reputation as a leading teacher for a reason: Her practical methods work. They are grounded in our bodies, sophisticated about our psychology and aligned with our souls.
What You’ll Discover in These 26 Sessions
Anodea will guide you through time-tested techniques for aligning, balancing, opening and healing the natural flow of energy in your system.
Each teaching, discussion and training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to manifest clear, consistent and life-affirming energy. You’ll be given specific exercises and practices to deepen your experience.
Course sessions are on Tuesdays at 5:00pm Pacific.
Module 1: Understanding the Psychology of Your Life Force
What is charge and how do you use it for healing?
This first module covers the foundation for understanding and working with charge. What is charge? How do you track it? What happens when it’s blocked (or unblocked)? Plus, how to identify your “comfort zone” and why it’s important to expand it.
Through the principles of energy theory and practical exercises, students are introduced to an entirely new way of thinking about and experiencing energy and their life force.
During this foundational module, you’ll discover:
- The relationship between charge and your inner world.
- Charge as the primary interface between your mind and body.
- Ways to track charge in yourself and others.
- Methods for Charging and Discharging.
- The continuous “Charge-Discharge Cycle” and how to keep it fluid.
- Where your charge is blocked and unblocked.
- Your charge comfort zone and how to expand it at will.
- The keys to healing through “binding the charge” vs. “harvesting the charge.”
- Valuable exercises to increase your charge for more energy
- Methods of decreasing your charge when you need to calm down
Module 2: Turning the Wheels that Heal: Charge & the Chakras
This 8-part module is a comprehensive exploration of the entire Chakra System. You’ll discover exactly how the chakras receive, assimilate, store and transmit charge and how to diagnose and rebalance excessive or deficient levels of charge in each chakra. The eighth session of this module will focus Kundalini and putting the chakras all together.
In this module, you will receive an
overview of:
- Chakra One: honing your survival instincts and the fight or flight response.
- Chakra Two: expanding your pleasure and managing your emotions.
- Chakra Three: increasing your energy and finding your power.
- Chakra Four: opening to deeper love.
- Chakra Five: finding your creativity in communication.
- Chakra Six: expanding your intuition and boosting your imagination.
- Chakra Seven: how meaning creates beliefs, charging new beliefs and discharging old ones.
- Learning about how each chakra can hold excessive or deficient amounts of charge and how to bring them into balance.
- Handling the charge of Kundalini.
- Putting all the chakras together for balance and harmony.
Module 3: Releasing Patterns of Trapped Charge: Charge & Character Structure
Charge that cannot be released becomes body armor and personality defenses. At different stages of childhood, children learn various skills in handling their charge. Failure at these particular stages, whether from neglect, abuse, trauma or any other reasons, creates distinct patterns in the personality that are also evident in the body.
Wilhelm Reich identified these as basic character structures that show predictable patterns in the body, behavior and thinking. Understanding character structures helps you understand the way each “binds” their charge and how best to help people with that structure to free their charge.
During this 6-part module, you’ll discover:
- How to release energy patterns in your personality and body and experience greater presence.
- Release and grounding techniques for the Schizoid/Creative Structure.
- Practices for moving the Oral/Lover Structure past overwhelm and collapse and into a more relaxed and receptive state.
- Ways to free the Masochistic/Endurer Structure from drudgery and “have-to’s.”
- How to guide the Rigid/Achiever Structure to relax and be capable of making mistakes.
- Practices to calm the aggression of the Challenger/Defender Structure.
- Emotional Healing for the Hysteric/Emotional Structure.
- Diagnosing through Multiple Structures/Overlays and Underlays.
Module 4: Healing Trauma & Illness
Trauma is a high-charge situation that disrupts the normal flow of the life force. Often in trauma the charge is “frozen” and can no longer be accessed, later creating dysfunctional patterns that we know as PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
This 4-part module examines the role charge plays in trauma and how to safely work with its effects for permanent healing. You’ll also discover how to decode the language of the body’s symptoms and balance charge for physical healing.
You will learn how to:
- Identify incidents of trauma and developmental trauma in terms of the role of charge and the nervous system.
- Understand what happens to charge in trauma and PTSD, and how to release charge incrementally.
- Thaw out the freeze response responsibly and effectively without re-traumatizing.
- Re-negotiate traumatic memories for positive results.
- Harvest the charge of trauma for creative use.
- Learn to shift your relationship to illness with special guest, Dr. Elson Haas.
Module 5: Liberating Your Charge for Relationships, Spirituality & Society
Now that you understand charge in yourself and other individuals, we look at how charge plays out in the realm of relationships, from the initial attraction between two people, playing with sexual charge, charge in arguments, and how children handle and respond to charge.
Finally we look at the role charge plays in religious and political movements, wars, new ideas and group dynamics.
In this module, you will discover:
- How to keep the charge of initial attraction going in long-term relationships.
- Techniques to help balance charge for a satisfying sex life.
- Ways of defusing the charge in arguments and misunderstandings.
- Guidance that will help children handle charge.
- What happens to a child who receives an adult’s out of control charge.
- How getting past your blocks brings you the full charge that is the core of spiritual experience.
- How charge fuels politics and social change and use it effectively to help shift the world.

Chakra Diagnostics
Audio Dialogue with Anodea and Guests
Everyone talks about "opening their chakras" as if it were that simple. But chakras contain defense patterns lodged deeply in the nervous system, body armor, beliefs, and behaviors. Some of those defenses can be detrimental to our health, our relationships, and our success. Learn to understand your own chakra system in terms of its energetic patterns.
Learn about how your chakras can be excessive or deficient, and what that means in terms of behavior and treatment.
What People Are Saying About Anodea Judith...
THANK YOU! You are extraordinary and such a gift. As I listened this morning I found myself weeping as there was an ’aha’ after an ’aha’ in the material you were bringing. I have studied the energy system (and psychology) in many settings and am finding that your vision and understanding is vast, yet delicately nuanced all at once. You teach with such startling clarity that all the pieces I’ve learned are being strung together into an integrated whole that makes sense on every level. I find I am healed by truth itself and am watching that jewelled necklace form in my mind and in my whole being simultaneously — I am clearer in what I know to be true, taller, brighter, stronger, more colourful. I am in my feet, my head AND in my belly, the seat of my power.
In my opinion as a therapist, Anodea is a master of mind/body integration work... she is as good as they come! She has taught me through her trainings the practice of witnessing/experiencing the "charge" in my life force, which has helped me to get grounded and locate the sacred space inside myself. With my clients, I am able to witness their charge, back off my agenda and allow the intelligence of their charge to guide the way to their opening.
– Paula Weithman, Yoga Teacher & Therapist, Dallas, TX
Anodea’s framing of charge as life force gave me a positive reference for working with many sensations in my body and that might have been pathologized or deadened by other practitioners. Just in the definition I was able to shift my consciousness. But even more impactful and empowering, was the tools she imparts to work with charge, to notice blocks, and allow for integration from this place of union with the Self.
– Julie E.
Through studying charge with Anodea, human processes that had previously appeared mysterious, or even magical, became straightforward practical knowledge based on human energetics, physiology and psychology. I learned about processes that shape our bodies, influence our minds and direct our behaviours. With this knowledge one becomes much more able to self-direct and to make choices in life rather than have knee-jerk reactions; it is a step toward self-mastery. Similarly, a clear knowledge of charge and its effects allows one to “read” charge in others, giving insight into their personal process, history and likely behaviour patterns. This in turn has led me to become more compassionate toward others, more able to understand and connect with them successfully. I deem understanding charge in the human body an essential skill for an enhanced ability to relate to others, regardless of the nature of that relationship. Studying with Anodea was not difficult or complicated; it was in fact fun, exciting and life-changing.
– Brad Cassidy, Vancouver, BC, Canada
My prayer when I signed up for your course was that I call my life-force back to myself, learn to circulate it more skillfully so I can heal and bring my FULL self into the world with joy, freedom and creativity. This prayer is being realized with every interaction. Thank you so much. I’m very thankful that Spirit brought me to you and your work.
– Phillipa Leonard, Australia
I have never felt like someone who could get things done. Thanks to Anodea I now have made some crucial distinctions and gained great insights in my resistance to ground myself, and on how to manifest my dreams and goals. I still have a way to go, but I know that I now have the best manifestation tools available. Pushing divine energy down, down, down!!! Thanks Anodea, you rock!!
– Wim De Preter
As both an individual and a Reiki practitioner, this course provides a wealth of information toward healing/balancing the chakras. The exercises give concrete direction toward that end as well. I learned so much about myself, & have already been using what I have learned to further aid my clients. It is a richer understanding of what function chakras provide. A very empowering course.
– Summer, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
If you have a dream, any dream, and especially if it is BIG, this work with Anodea Judith opens you to the technology of creative manifestation.

Q: What is a virtual course?
I have never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon to participate. I haven’t seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
