Chakra means ‘Wheel’ in Sanskrit and relates to energy centers in our bodies which are, referring to the seven main chakras, generally located along the length of the spine. Each chakras vibrates at different frequencies affecting our mental, physical and spiritual bodies and wellbeing. Ensuring that our chakras remain clear and balanced is crucial to our wellbeing, health and feelings of contentment and peace.
When a chakra gets blocked, which may be caused by a traumatic experience, fear, stress or anxiety, it triggers physical, emotional, or mental imbalances.
If one chakra gets of of balance it oftentimes simultaneously affects the neighboring energy centers which tend to overcompensate causing further issues. Hence, when the alignment of the chakra network gets interrupted you may feel out of balance in your life, experience anxiety, restlessness, poor digestion, or lethargy.
For example if the heart chakra is blocked or depleted it may prevent someone from giving or receiving love and trigger the person to make choices out of fear instead of love and trust. So in this case it may also affect the throat chakra which is above to the heart chakra, making it more difficult for someone to speak their truth and the solar plexus chakra, which is located below the heart chakra, triggering feelings of low self-esteem.
Keeping your chakras balanced, clear and aligned is therefore very important. How can we achieve that?
