Creative Lives unveils a groundbreaking and practical framework for education based on the chakra system and its fundamental role in human development. Teachers and parents trained in this whole-child approach are uniquely equipped to foster children’s social-emotional well-being, innate wisdom, sense of purpose, and resilience.
United States, 6th Nov 2024 – Creative Lives Inc., an innovator in holistic child development, advances a new approach to education that leverages recent discoveries about the human energy, or chakra system, to support every child’s full potential. Strategies from this practical approach can be integrated into everyday teaching and parenting practices to enhance young people’s learning, well-being, and character development.
The Chakra System and Modern Education
The chakras are not a new-age concept; the seven main energy centers exist within the energy field of every person and have been observed by various cultures around the globe since ancient times. Educator Ellen Tadd spent decades studying the chakra system and distilled her findings into her pioneering Framework for Wise Education®. What sets Tadd’s Framework apart is its focus on practical applications of the chakra system in contemporary education.
Ellen Tadd observed that each chakra deals with different aspects of our deepest selves—or spiritual core—from inspiration and joy to wisdom and discipline. The basis of Tadd’s Framework is simple but profound: honing well-function across the chakra system supports optimal learning and development for every individual. The approach nurtures key human capacities like focus, inspiration, inner well-being, emotional regulation, and wise decision-making. Adults trained in her approach become adept at helping children develop these and other essential strengths.
For example, the crown chakra, which deals with our capacity for inspiration, happiness, and innate capacity for spirituality, can be supported to combat discouragement or isolation in children, fostering resilience and positivity. A well-functioning third eye chakra, related to discernment and focus, helps students develop clarity, perceive context, and make wiser decisions. Through Tadd’s methods, teachers and parents are trained to recognize when these energy centers are functioning poorly – and apply practical strategies that support well-function across the chakra system. Strengthening the chakra system, in turn, helps children develop their potential and thrive.
“I have never encountered a more powerful or meaningful Framework for approaching education.” –elementary educator Sharon Webster
Transformative Results in Classrooms and Homes
Educators implementing the Framework report significant shifts in classroom dynamics and student engagement. One teacher described how her previously disruptive class became a vibrant learning community once she began using the Framework-based strategies. Another educator credited the Framework with transforming a group of students previously labeled as “trouble” into motivated, focused learners.
Parents are seeing similar transformations. A mother shared that after using the techniques, her daughter, who had suffered from crippling anxiety, returned to school with newfound confidence and was able to manage her fears independently.
Chakras as a Mechanism for Emotional Regulation and Focus
A core aspect of the Creative Lives approach is redefining focus—not simply as concentration but as a deeper form of awareness and discernment. The third eye chakra, located in the center of the forehead, activates our capacity for discernment and wisdom. Strengthening this chakra, children gain deeper insight into their life experiences.
One 3rd grader in a life skills class shared, “When I was focused in my solar plexus, it was like a burning cauldron of rage. I was just so angry at what people are doing to each other and the planet. But when I focused from my wise view, it was like I stepped onto an island of clarity and was calm. And I saw that all I need to do is play my part, and that’s enough.”
The “Tadd Technique” used by this child supports moving from emotional upset to clarity and positive feelings. It involves shifting one’s focus from the solar plexus chakra, the center of emotion in the abdomen, to the 3rd eye chakra. The solar plexus is the most misused chakra in our culture. When focused in the solar plexus area of the body, feelings guide the way, and one’s viewpoint becomes limited.
As children learn to apply this strategy, they cultivate wise perception, which in turn informs their feelings. Children learn that where they place their focus significantly impacts their experience and learning. Cultivating wise perception reduces anxiety and empowers children to learn and make productive choices.
A Framework for a New Era in Education
As more educators and parents seek solutions to support the holistic development of children, Creative Lives offers a Framework that transcends traditional education models. Integrating Tadd’s discoveries of the chakras and modern educational needs includes clear, practical strategies that benefit children’s cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual development.
Educators across the country have praised the Framework, with many calling it a “game-changer” for understanding and nurturing children’s potential.
In addition, adults report meaningful improvements in their own well-being. At a time when growing numbers of teachers feel overwhelmed and discouraged, this is a significant benefit.

“…Empirical evidence shows that natural spirituality exists within us, independent of religion or culture; it is as foundational to our makeup as emotion, temperament, and physical senses; and the benefits of natural spirituality are significant and measurable. Further, research shows that natural spirituality, if supported in childhood, prepares the adolescent for critical developmental tasks of that age. If supported in adolescence, natural spirituaity deepens and can become a significant resource for health and healing through adult life.”
