Canadian author Nicole Landry promotes Chakra healing, plans Jamaica retreats

Nicole Landry, a Canadian author with Jamaican roots, is promoting Chakra healing, a practice linked to the body's seven energy centers, as global interest in yoga continues to grow. Her "Chakra Healing Collection," released in late 2024, aims to introduce this discipline to individuals seeking improved physical health and spiritual well-being.

“

I am currently exploring opportunities to bring my retreat experiences back to Jamaica, a place that has always held a special place in my heart. My hope is to create experiences that support personal growth and transformation while also giving back to the local communities and businesses that make those experiences possible.

Landry, who previously worked as a nurse for 15 years, expressed a strong desire to bring her retreat experiences back to Jamaica. This initiative is deeply personal, intended to honor her father's heritage and create opportunities for personal growth and transformation. She hopes these experiences will also benefit local communities and businesses in Jamaica, viewing this as a meaningful legacy.

To me, that is a legacy, and one I hope to build in honour of my father.

The "Chakra Healing Collection" delves into the seven core Chakra centers: Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. Landry explains that each energy center is associated with different aspects of emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational experiences. For instance, the Root Chakra relates to safety and stability, while the Solar Plexus is connected to confidence and personal power. The Heart Chakra addresses themes of trust and connection, and the Throat Chakra focuses on self-expression.

I view Chakra healing as the practice of bringing awareness to the patterns that influence how we experience ourselves and the world around us. Each energy centre is associated with different aspects of our emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational experiences.

This collection is the latest venture from Journey of Altman, a company Landry founded in 2020. Initially, the company offered wellness products like scented candles, which Landry credits with aiding her recovery from an abusive relationship. This personal experience spurred her deeper interest in Chakra healing and its core principles. The collection is available in paperback on Amazon and through the Journey of Atman online store.

For example, the Root Chakra is often connected to safety, stability, and belonging, while the Solar Plexus relates to confidence, self-worth, and personal power. The Heart Chakra explores themes of trust, grief, and connection, while the Throat Chakra focuses on self-expression and authenticity.
