Chakra Healing
What is Chakra Healing: Energy Scholastic in Your Body.
Have you ever felt a little off-shack-ish, perhaps you are plagued with anxiety, are feeling down-trodden or just simply can't dispel an ugly mood? There is a possibility that your chakras or energy centers might not be well balanced in your body.
The body is not merely a physical shell as it is in many ancient spiritual and holistic systems such as yoga and Ayurveda. It is an energetic web of life. This energy is known as prana or life force, and it circulates around your body by means of seven major centers; it moves down your spine to the head of your body. These light spinning cogs are your chakras. At the time when they are in balance and move freely, you experience greatness- full of energy, expressiveness and calmness of mind. However, it may cause visible effects on physical and emotional well-being when one becomes clogged or hyper-active.
What Are Chakras? A Quick Overview
Suppose your body were linked to a chain of power centres, each of which related to your various spheres of life. The seven main chakras are:
- Root Chakra (Muladhara): This is the Chakra that is at the bottom of your spine and is all about feeling safe, stable and being grounded in the physical world. Consider it as your background.
- Sacral Chakra ( Svadhisthana): It is located in the lower abdomen and it controls your relationships, creativity, and emotions. It is the place where you have a passionate side!
- Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): This is your centre of personal power and confidence that is located in your upper belly. When it is strong, you feel powerful and have the control over your life.
- Heart Chakra (Anahata): This is the centre of the chest and it is where love, compassion and association with others are located. It is the linking of your lower chakras, which are physical to your higher chakras which are spiritual.
- Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): It is a place that is positioned in your throat and it is all about communication and self-expression. It’s how you speak your truth.
- Third eye chakra (Ajna): This is placed between your eyebrows and herein lies, intuition and inner wisdom. It is where you get a glimpse of the big picture.
- Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): This is the chakra that is located at the very top of your head and makes you connected to a higher consciousness and your reason.
Symptoms of a Chakra being out of balance
Energy may stagnate due to any reasons, stress, bad mood, or even bad habits. The following are some of the typical symptoms to be noticed:
- Physical symptoms: This may be manifested by chronic pain in a certain location, recurring illness or general fatigue. An example is that the blocked root chakra can be manifested as lower back pain or being out of place.
- Anxiety, creative blocks, boundary problems: Because it is a sign of an energetic imbalance to feel constantly anxious or to be creativity blocked or unable to set boundaries. When you have a blocked throat chakra, then you may not be able to express yourself or raise your voice.
- Mental fog: difficulty in focus or confusion with your intuition can be an indication of a blocked third eye or crown chakra.
