ChakrasThe art of chakra healing, in use for centuries, balances important energy centres in the body called chakras. We use a number of different tools such as stones or meditation during chakra balancing. The end result will be a physically healthier body, happier, and more at peace.
According to practitioners of chakra healing, we all have seven primary chakras that correspond with vital areas of our bodies and emotional and spiritual aspects of our lives. The seven chakras form a line from the base of our spine to the top of our head. Chakras have their own colour, vibrational frequency, and symbol. For example, the first chakra is found at the base of the spine and is known as the root chakra. This chakra governs the spinal column, kidneys, legs, feet, rectum, and immune system. So, when this chakra is out of balance, it may lead to lower back pain, varicose veins, leg cramps, rectal conditions, depression, as well as immune related disorders. A lack of balance in the root chakra may be caused by feelings of low self esteem, insecurity, or family concerns.
Other chakras include the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, brow, and crown chakras. Each energy centre must be vibrating at the proper frequency independent of one another in order for the entire body to vibrate in harmony. Therefore, each chakra is equally important to optimal functioning of the body according to the chakra healing tradition.
Many powerful tools affect the vibration of the chakra, and that's where chakra balancing comes into play. Chakra stones, the human voice, music, chants, mantras and chakra meditation bring the frequency of the chakras back into proper vibrational alignment. For example, the root chakra is greatly affected by the hematite, onyx, ruby or garnet gemstones. During chakra healing a practitioner may use one or all of these chakra stones to cleanse our root chakra and bring it into harmony.
Chakra meditation may also be used to open up our chakra centres and improve the flow of positive psychic energy inside our body. During meditation we simply concentrate on each of the chakras starting with the first one and working our way up to your crown chakra. By imagining the flow of energy from chakra to chakra, we are helping to remove blockages in each energy centre that might be the cause pain and disease.
Because the chakras govern every organ and system in our body, chakra healing has far reaching health implications. Chakra balancing may lead to improved heart, lung, brain, immune and digestive function and may also help with depression, anxiety, and other emotional imbalances. Many believe that the chakras have the power to transform our life both physically and spiritually. It is only when our chakras are in sync that we may truly access higher levels of consciousness.
If the powerful art of chakra healing sounds intriguing to us visit an experienced chakra healer. A good healer will ask us plenty of questions about our health in order to pinpoint which of our chakras are the most blocked or unbalanced. From there he or she may employ any number of tools to help lead our energy centres into harmonious vibration.
