3 Steps For Chakra Balancing | Healthy Chakras

What are Chakras?

Chakras are spinning wheels of energy and originate from the ancient Indian energy system. All living beings have these energy centers, called chakras. You can unlock your full potential when your chakras are open and healthy. There are seven main chakra centers in our body, located along our spine from the tailbone to the crown of the head.

Which Chakras is best for Health?

All the Chakras affect our health. It all depends on what area you want to focus on more. Every layer of our body, from physical to emotional affects each other. When a Chakra is blocked or the energy flow is restricted the body will manifest either a physical, mental or emotional symptom. It’s important to align all the chakras for a healthy body and mind. Start with learning which energy center corresponds to your symptoms and the different chakra balancing techniques that work best for you.

Or you may use a pendulum above these energy centers. to see what direction your energy is flowing or not flowing. You can start from the root chakra and work your way upwards to the crown chakra to strengthen your immunity. Or start at the crown and work your way down if you are too much in your headspace. You would start by clearing your space to prepare. You can either sit comfortably on a cushion or ly down. Center yourself with your breathing. grounding and start to feel your energy in each chakra. You may feel tingly sensations in the hands or chakra. You may feel heat or cold sensations. There are many techniques, you can learn depending on your experience.
