Chakra Balancing

During this month’s blog we’ll explore the 7 Chakras and learn how to become consciously aware of these energy centers that when balanced can lead to greater well-being.

What are the Chakras?

Chakras are the energy centers of the body. They are located along the (astral) spine. Starting at its base (your sacrum) and flowing upwards to the crown of the head. Each Chakra radiates a specific color and energy and coincides with an area of the physical body. It is believed when a Chakra is blocked it can lead to physical and/or emotional disorders.

What Causes Imbalance/Blockage and how to fix it

Chakras rotate at a specific frequency and speed. Diet, lifestyle and thought patterns can affect this frequency and speed creating an imbalance.

There are many different methods to unblock or balance your chakras. Here are a few of our favorite techniques:
1. Diet- a balanced diet helps create harmony in the body.
2. Breathing- Helps increase the energy in the body and remove stagnant energy.
3. Meditation- Chakra meditation calms the mind and helps focus energy to the specific chakras.
4. Reiki- An energy practitioner uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide energy flow.
5. Essential Oils- target specific chakras and help “tune” the energy. (check out our FB page to learn more)
6. Yomassage- Combines multiple methods such as mediation, yoga poses, and breath work to restore balance.
