In this blog post we will discuss Chakras.

When you hear the work Chakra you might picture meditating under waterfalls or practising yoga but chakras are more than this, they are energetic centres within us that help keep our body, mind and spirit balanced.  The seven chakras are the main energy centres of the body.  Understanding how to use them to your advantage can lead you down a great path of abundance.  The chakras are essential in helping us to focus our creativity, enhance our confidence and succeed in happiness.

What are Chakras?

Just the way you have your physical body, you have your emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.  Each of the seven chakra point, which lie along the spine from tail to crown, rules a different aspect of our lives. When all of our chakras are open, energy can run through them freely and provide harmony.  Emotional imbalance and stress block the energy that flows freely from one chakra to the next.  You can balace your chakras if they ever become stuck in order to bring harmony back in to your life.

What are the Seven Chakras?

1. Root Chakra

2. Sacral Chakra

3. Solar Plexus Chakra

4. Heart Chakra

5. Throat Chakra

6. Third Eye Chakra

7. Crown Chakra

Root Chakra:

Located at the base of the tailbone.  This chakras role is to connect all your physical and bodily energy with the Earth itself.  In other words this chakra grounds you and promotes confidence.  It plays an important role in your manifesting abilities because this is where an idea finally becomes physical through action.  When it's blocked we feel threatened.

Sacral Chakra:

This chakra is located in the lower abdomen.  This chakra helps forge a deeper connection with others, promotes creativity and enhances happiness in all areas of our lives.  Those with a blocked chakra could feel a lack of control in their lives.

Solar Plexus Chakra:

Located in the upper abdomen just above your belly button.  Considered to be the centre of the body, the place from which energy is generated.  This is the chakra where your self-confidence and personal power sit together in harmony.  If this chakra is unbalanced, you may have issues with decision making, self-esteem and lack of energy.

Heart Chakra:

Located at the centre of the chest just above the heart.  As the name suggests, this chakra can influence our ability to give and receive love and compassion, from others and ourselves.  When it is not balanced we may lose empathy for others and have difficulties with all types of relationships.

Throat Chakra:

Located in the middle of your throat.  The throat chakra gives voice to the heart chakra and controls our ability to communicate.  When balanced you openly and lovingly speak the truth and feel a balance between speaking and listening. When unbalanced we may have a fear of speaking up and social anxiety can also arise.

Third Eye Chakra:

Located in the forehead between the eyes. The third eye chakra controls our ability to see the big picture and connect to intuition and dreams.  When balanced you will feel in tune with the physical and spiritual world, allow us to dream freely and trust our intuition.  You will also be able to connect with your soul.  When unbalanced we may experience trouble making decisions.

Crown Chakra:

Located at the very top of the head.  This chakra represents our ability to be fully connected spiritually and helps us reach a higher state of consciousness.  If unbalanced we may lack purpose and feel disconnected.  

Why Chakras get Blocked?

Chakras can get blocked and cause problems in our everyday lives.  Blockages can be caused by work and financial stress, poor diet, self-esteem, suppressed anger, illness, grief, heartbreak, rejection, resentment, fear, anxiety and denial.

How to Open Chakras with Crystal Healing:

Each chakra is associated with a different type of energy that's connected with certain organs and emotions.  When these are out of balance you may experience symptoms linked to that paticular area.  There are several techniques you can use to get the energy flowing again:

Meditation:

Meditation can be deep and powerful.  Meditation with healing crystals grounds the body and mind which relieves stress and helps you focus on the present.  This helps your chakras align and balance.  Focusing on breathing can work wonders!

Crystal Healing:

Chakra stones are used to help you heal, achieve balance and are perfect for supporting our physical, mental and spiritual healing. Each chakra has several crystals associated with it.  When placed on the body, the stones are said to interact positively with our energy of our chakras. These stones have become increasingly popular with individuals working with them to become more attuned to their bodies and mind.

Other ways to include chakra stones for healing include, sleeping with them under your pillow, placing stones in your bath, keeping stones in your pocket.
