How Do Your Chakras Measure Up?

There are seven main chakras in the body, and they are the energy system that flows through you to keep you healthy in your mind, body, and soul. Hindu philosophy tells you that this is a source of your spiritual and physical being. To have an open chakra means that you are receptive to the world around you, and you are living your best life.

The universe is full of energy and the seven chakras work around that energy. Your energy needs to be balanced and open and when it is you will be happier and more self-confident than you could be with a closed chakra. 

When your chakra is closed, it can cause you to be imbalanced and it can cause you to be full of negativity and bad energy. These energies can get stopped up and can cause you to not be as strong as you want to be.

Opening the Chakras

There are things that you can do to unblock and open up your chakras. Here are some of the best methods:

Meditating

Meditation can help with any chakra in your body. You can visualize the color of the chakra that you feel is blocked and you can send energy to the chakras to keep them open and strong. 

The root chakra will ground you and if you feel negative, you need to send positive power to this chakra so that you can become one with the earth. Meditate until you feel the negative energies leaving you.

Healing

You can do self-healing, or you can reach out to a practitioner to help you. Talk to a reiki specialist or a psychic to help you bring healing to your body and to keep your chakras strong and healthy.
