Healing the Seven Chakras

We are at peace when our chakras are in balance. Remember the energy within the seven chakras influence our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual health. When the chakra energy is stuck or stale, we suffer from various ailments. The secret to healing the seven chakras doesn’t always come naturally. Throughout our life we encounter various experiences and each of those leave a bit of an imprint on your chakra energy. If some of those life experiences are not pleasant, the balance of energy can be thrown off. The messages we learn in childhood can affect the spiritual growth through life.

 

How can we change the message that each of our chakras emanates? I look at it as a way to heal the soul, and more. I am learning that one very effective way to do this is through positive affirmations. If you can practice positive affirmations you should be able to balance reality and your past. Again I see it as a healing practice for your soul and the things you experienced in life that throw that chakra energy out of balance. Mind, body and soul balanced in harmony, means you are at your peak and happy. Lets look at a few positive affirmations that will help direct the chakra energy back into balance.

 

Crown Chakra: Remember this chakra is located at the top of your head, and its energy spins a violet color and is connected to spirituality. Repeat the following affirmation to begin with: “I am apart of the divine, and I seek to understand and learn from my life experiences and I cherish my spirit. I will live in the present moment.”

 

Third Eye Chakra: Remember this chakra is located in the center of your forehead, and its energy spins a blue color and is connected to our intuition, repressed emotions and fears. Repeat the following affirmation: “I am wise and will listen to my inner wisdom. I will trust my intuition, forgive the past and learn and embrace the good in my life.”

 

Throat Chakra: Remember this chakra is located in the throat, near the thyroid and its energy spins a light blue color and is connected to our ability to communicate, express ourselves and our creativity.  Repeat the following affirmation: “I will communicate my feelings with ease. I will be open honest and clear through my communication. I will show my authentic spirit through my creativity and my body will feel the truth.”

 

Heart Chakra:  Remember this chakra is located in the center of your chest, and its energy spins a green color and is connected to our heart and our emotions. Repeat the following affirmation: “I am open to love. I love myself deeply, openly and I accept myself. I forgive myself and accept life’s challenges that help me connect with others. ”

 

Solar Plexus Chakra:  Remember this chakra is located just above the navel, and its energy spins a yellow color and is connected to growth, intellect, control and self respect. Repeat the following affirmation: “I love and respect myself. I am worthy of love, kindness and respect. I will be strong and courageous and direct my own life.”

 

Sacral Chakra:  Remember this chakra is located just below the navel, and its energy spins an orange color, and is connected to sexuality, reproduction, commitment and pleasurable experiences. Repeat the following affirmation: ” I love and accept my body and have healthy boundaries. I am passionate and can enjoy the present moment through my senses. I will nourish my body and take care of my needs. I will respect my body.”

 

Root Chakra: Remember this chakra is located at the bas of your spine or tail bone, and its energy spins a red color, and is connected to our basic survival skills and physical needs that allow us to feel safe. Repeat the following affirmation:” I am deeply connected to my body. I feel safe, secure and am deeply rooted. I have the right to be here, and I have what I need. I am stable and will nourish my body and keep it healthy. I trust myself and the choices I make that are good for me.”

 

These affirmations are just a start to the journey of healing your seven chakras. Some may resonate with you more than others, and that can indicate an area that needs more of your focus. Draw strength from that, listen to your mind, body, and soul.

Signs of Stale Chakras

The seven chakras of the body correlate to different ailments and issues within the body. If these energy centers are not in alignment, the physical ailment affects the mental and emotional strengths. Do you have signs of stale chakras? Just think about it, when you are dealing with a physical ailment, it affects your emotional state. You don’t feel good. The energy within these seven chakras needs to be fluid, not stale. That stale energy can cause a malfunction with in the body and soul. If you are suffering from pains, aches, or stiffness or reoccurring emotions and fears, you will want to explore whether a chakra is blocked and stale.

 

Read along with this excerpt from MindBodyGreen to see if you could have ailments that are related to unbalanced or blocked energy in your chakras.

Those with imbalances here are also likely to experience issues of degenerative arthritis, knee pain, sciatica, eating disorders, and constipation.

Emotional imbalances include feelings affecting our basic survival needs: money, shelter and food; ability to provide for life’s necessities.

Located at the top of the head.

Physical imbalance include depression, inability to learn, sensitivity to light, sound, environment.

Emotional imbalances include issues with self-knowledge and greater power. Imbalances arise from rigid thoughts on religion and spirituality, constant confusion, carry prejudices, “analysis paralysis.” Fear of alienation.

When this chakra is balanced, we live in the present moment. We have an unshakeable trust in our inner guidance.

The lesson of this chakra is live mindfully.

After reading this, you (just like me) may feel that more than one chakra is imbalanced or blocked. This is because when one is blocked, the other chakras begin to compensate and either become overactive or under-active. I think my next step will be to learn how to balance my chakras. Looking forward to this challenge!

Seven Chakras

According to Chopra.com, “The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk. In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. There are seven chakras, which align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through to the crown of the head. To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet. This invisible energy, called Prana, is vital life force, which keeps us vibrant, healthy, and alive.”

 

It is essential that the seven main chakras remain in motion or moving. When there is a disruption to these chakra, there is a disruption to the energy that flows within you. This energy is responsible for centering the psychological, emotional, and spiritual states within us. These seven chakra are bundles of nerves that are attached to major organs. We must keep the chakra fluid and in motion to keep ourselves healthy. The chakras can lead to illness if the energy is blocked.

 

The Root Chakra: This is our foundation and where we get our feelings of being grounded. This chakra is located at the base of the spine and is responsible for how we survive the basic survival issues like finances, food, shelter.

 

The Sacral or Splenic Chakra: Gives us the ability to accept others and new experiences. It is located in the lower abdomen. We get pleasure, sense of well-being and sexuality from here.

 

The Solar Plexus Chakra: Basis for confidence and control in your life. It is located in the upper abdomen in the stomach. Confidence, self esteem and self worth flow from here.

 

The Heart Chakra: here comes our ability to love, not surprisingly found in the chest above your heart. Here lies love, inner peace and the joy in your life.

 

The Throat Chakra: The ability to communicate comes from here. It is located in the throat, and to me explains the tightness you can feel in your throat in certain situations. You get your communication, self-expression of your feelings and of the truth from this chakra.

 

The Third Eye Chakra: Look at the big picture and find focus on life. The third eye chakra is located between the eyes. Decision making, wisdom, intuition and imagination flow from the third eye.

 

The Crown Chakra: This is considered the highest chakra. Here is where the energy to be fully connected to life spiritually lies. It is located on the very top of the head. Pure bliss, inner/outer beauty, and our spiritual connections resonate from here.
