The Original Roby Chart© is a unique tool that was born from my frustration, as a student of energy healing, that there was no one place to see the color meaning and location of the 7 major energy centers (chakras) in the physical body, along with a sample of core beliefs that can affect health. I distilled and integrated information from several expert sources, including Louise Hay, Caroline Myss and Dorothy Martin-Neville. Then I consigned an artist to do the anatomy. Each part of the body has a brief note about what beliefs can influence it--thus incorporating energetic, physical and influence of mind (beliefs) in one beautiful image. The Roby Chart is an original piece of copyrighted artwork. The posters are printed copies. I strive to use packing materials that are either recyclable, biodegradable or reused.
