Welcome to Integral Chakras, founded in 2022 by Janel Houton.
Janel (Rev Shikyo) has been working under the guidance of Doshin Roshi, forming a more Integral understanding of several Chakra systems, including traditional Tibetan Medicine and healing, with the intention of bringing these ancient methodologies into the 21st century, in a way that is helpful.
Additionally studying with Dr. Nida Chenagtsang and Dr. Caroline Van Damme she completed the Sowa Rigpa Institute for Tibetan Medicine Counseling Program in 2024. She was ordained Minister in Integral Zen in the fall of 2023, and has been developing and teaching courses there since 2023.
After spending a decade in Japan, Janel studied Clinical Massage Therapy at Cortiva Institute in Watertown, Massachusetts in 2009, and worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist in the Boston area, where she designed treatments combining Eastern Five Element theory, hot stone and aromatherapy. Combining experience in bodywork and study with Doshin Roshi, she brings together Zen, Integral Theory, Carl Jung, Japanese energy healing, Yuthok Nyinthig, and Tibetan Medicine study to customize a unique path for each individual.
“Freeing up stuck energy can open up uncharted territories of the internal world, bringing unconsciouses to consciousness, increasing embodiment, vibrancy, and vitality. Starting with an understanding that we are not “problems to be fixed”, I provide contexts of indicators, signs and markers of balance and imbalance using the chakras. From there we consider directions that can support your healing, leading to organic, energetic homeostasis.“
“I have been so fortunate to receive guidance and teachings, and to have discovered tools and approaches that have greatly helped me, and others as well. “
with deep gratitude,
Shikyo Jiryu Janel Houton / Karma Tinpa Tsomo
