How Does Chakra Therapy Work?
In order to balance the energetic body, one has to get familiar with the seven chakras throughout their body. Starting from the base of the spine and working the way up the body. The chakras are as follows:
Root Chakra:
This Chakra is located at the base of the spine. This chakra is responsible for a sense of safety and grounds us into Mother Earth. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you will feel safe, secure, and grounded in your life. When you begin to feel ungrounded or unsafe then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your root chakra.
Sacral Chakra:
This Chakra is located below the belly button. It is responsible for your creativity, sexuality, and emotions. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you will be using your creative power, feel connected to your sensuality, and allowing emotions to flow through you. When you begin to feel creatively or emotionally stuck, or out of alignment with your sexuality, then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your sacral chakra.
Solar Plexus Chakra:
This Chakra is located in the upper belly/diaphragm region. It is responsible for your connection to your personal power. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you feel powerful, confident, intuitive, and have strong self-esteem. When you begin to feel weak or down on yourself, then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your solar plexus.
Heart Chakra:
This Chakra is located in the chest. It is responsible for your ability to give and receive love. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you will be in the flow of love, experiencing healthy relationships, and joyful living. When you begin to feel like there is a lack of love either coming from you or you are having difficulty letting it in, then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your heart chakra.
Throat Chakra:
This Chakra is located in the center of the throat. It is responsible for speaking your truth and active listening. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you will be using your voice to speak up for what you believe in and set your boundaries with ease. When you begin to feel like it is difficult to use your voice, you are keeping secrets, have trouble setting boundaries, or have difficulty listening to others, then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your throat chakra.
Third Eye Chakra:
This Chakra is located in the center of your forehead. It is responsible for seeing clearly, from a place of wisdom connected to your higher consciousness. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you will be highly in touch with your intution and perceive experiences from a higher perspective. When you begin to feel blocked from your intutive guidance, unclear about what steps to take on your path, or like you are seeing things from a glass half empty perspective, then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your third eye chakra.
Crown Chakra:
This Chakra is located at the top of the head. It is responsible for our connection to the Universe and spiritual guidance. Therefore, when this chakra is balanced you will feel inspired, guided, and in touch with universal energy. When you begin to feel uninspired, spiritually stuck, or frequently stressed, then you should focus on unblocking and balancing your crown chakra.
