When we talk about balancing chakras, we can refer to different techniques and meanings. A commonly accepted definition of chakra balancing is the process of bringing the chakra energy to a well-functioning and harmonious state. The notion of calming a chakra tackles only part of what needs to be done: balancing each chakra part as a systematic process, but also as a whole. Therefore, when doing chakra balancing, it is important not only to remember that chakra, but also the neighbouring centres and energies throughout the cycle.
What Is Chakra?
Chakras are the body’s focused power centres. Chakra is a Sanskrit term, meaning “disk” or “wheel” from the root word “cakra.” Chakras have the duty to consume, integrate, and emanate energy to keep us functioning at optimal levels. We have chakras in our energetic body systems, and if a chakra does not function properly or is blocked, illness is more likely to occur. Our well-being at all stages can influence the chakras. When we feel depressed, we may not have the maximum energy for our needs. If we don’t fuel our bodies with the right food and vitamins, we may consume less energy than more.
An Easy How To
Chakra balancing strategies fall into three categories: those based on physical process and operation, meditative and introspective exercise, or energy transfer from another person or oneself.
Common techniques you can use to align your chakras:
- Soothing hands and energy regeneration meditation, including chakra meditation.
- Self-inquiry activities based on body and mind relation, including yoga.
- Breath therapy, including pranayama therapeutic and alternative medicine.
There is also a range of practices aimed at maintaining chakra function equilibrium as a foundation for well-being. The most popular are: Reiki Craniosacral Therapy, Pranic Treatment, The use of chakra treatment stones, and crystals can also help chakra balancing. It’s best to do as often as possible, and thankfully can be done quick, meaning you don’t have to miss out on other important daily activities.
Why It Matters
Chakra balancing aims to support a balanced flow that will sustain our overall energy level. During our daily lives, we are exposed to a number of activities, sources of pressure and demands resulting in variations in our energy level. Some may feel draining, others satisfying or nourishing. Moreover, past events and experiences often leave a lasting influence on how we feel and are in the world, influencing how we manage our daily energy. Stresses that are placed on us by life’s demands can cause interruptions and fluctuations in our energy flow and this can lead to chakra imbalances. A chakra imbalance can affect how much energy flows through the chakra or chakra system. A chakra is deficient when the energy is considered blocked or closed.
A chakra is deemed to be overactive when the energy flow is excessively increased and unregulated. The position of the energy field associated with one or more chakras is displaced. Like all things related to spiritual healing, learning how to balance our own chakras is an important step to finding peace, happiness, and a oneness with the world that surrounds us every day.
