Chakras

 

Do you get the feeling that negative energy is all around you? Are you persistently feeling sick or drained? The opposing extremes are also possible such as obsessiveness, feeling trapped, lost, or disconnected. These are all signs of your chakra being out of balance. When you know what each chakra symbolizes and what you can do to maintain its energy flowing smoothly, you will be able to live in perfect harmony with yourself and others.

What are Chakras?

Chakras are energy centers in the body, and they are seven in number (root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra, crown chakra). These run the length of the spine, from the base to the crown chakra at the top of the head. They are tied to our mental, physical, and spiritual qualities.

The three chakras above the heart connect to our higher self, our guidance, and inspiration. The three chakras below the heart are connected to the earth and activities related to our relationship with being present in our body.

When a chakra is ‘blocked’ by being underactive (too closed) or overactive (too open), our whole being is out of balance, which may lead to disease and/or emotional barriers. This may be triggered by our surroundings, the people we are related to, our emotions, trauma, and other life events.
According to the law of vibration, we must align our energy with the things we wish to attract.

Why clear the Chakras?

Activating and clearing the chakras supports your energetic and physical bodies. It opens a flow of energy that calms your nervous system and boosts your intuitive senses. It sets your intention to connect with your higher self. Each time we connect within we develop and strengthen our energetic pathways. These pathways light up, and any blocks or stagnant energy floating in your aura are released. As you take steps in prayer and meditation and build your energetic field, you will find that the light supports and strengthens you.
