HOW TO BALANCE 7 CHAKRAS?

It’s quite astonishing how many factors affect our physical and emotional wellbeing on a daily basis.

Sometimes feelings of empathy or feeling down and physically challenged take over our days. Discover the seven Chakra systems and what crystals can do to bring you back into the flow and your centre.

WHAT ARE THE 7 CHAKRAS?

Chakras are energy centres which originated thousands of years ago and feature in many spiritual texts including the Vedas (scripts guiding Hindu and Buddhist beliefs), but which make more and more ebbs in the western cultures.

The seven energetic centres, or Chakras, act as gateways to cosmic energy (some call it the Spirit), which naturally flows top to bottom, then back through our body in a Chakra Network. The energy is then distributed across its neighbouring organs, i.e. “feeding” them.

Some consider Chakras the powers of divine life.

But what if that gateway is blocked? Simply, the cosmic energy cannot flow, the consequences of which you can feel emotionally and sometimes even physically.

WHAT IS EACH OF THE CHAKRAS RESPONSIBLE FOR?

Now that you know what a Chakra is, dive into the qualities and responsibilities each carries. You might even have some “aha!” moments throughout as you spot the signs of an open, blocked and overactive Chakra.

HOW DO BLOCKAGES HAPPEN?

You may experience the unpleasant feelings indicating Chakra blockage due to circumstances in your life which affect your aura externally and enter your energy flow.

Whether you’re challenged with a temporary difficulty in practicing love or work-life balance takes a toll on your anxiety, reach out for your crystal friends, and bounce back in no time.

First step: look into positivity. Then...

USE CRYSTALS TO BALANCE YOUR CHAKRAS!

Now that you know a thing or two about the symbolism of Chakras, you might have already observed the correlation and ways in which crystals can aid you.

Take a look at the associated crystals in the Chakra guide below. In crystal therapy, which also includes Chakra balancing, the healing revolves around colour therapy. Here’s a few examples of crystals to use on each energy point.

CROWN	Amethyst, Celestine, Desert Rose, Fluorite, Selenite.
THIRD EYE	Angelite, Labradorite, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite.

HOW CAN I PERFORM CHAKRA BALANCING ON MYSELF?

To perform Chakra healing on yourself, place the corresponding, cleansed crystal on the Chakra point as shown on the image. You can also create a self-and-soul-care ritual with a loved one, or book an appointment with a professional.

Palm stones are the most comfortable crystals to use, but feel free to experiment with raw pieces to find what works individually for you.

Use this practice not only to physically place the gems of the Earth to mingle with your energy – ensure to be present the entire time, focusing on the inner world, your breath and be one with your feelings.
