What are Chakras?

Chakras are the energy centres of the body. They are located in the astral body (cannot be seen), along the spine, starting at its base and running upwards to the crown of the head.

Chakras play a vital role in the flow of energy throughout the body. Each chakra is associated with specific organs, glands and bodily functions, and serves as an energy centre that helps regulate and distribute vital energy.

When the flow of energy in a particular chakra is blocked or restricted, it can lead to physical, emotional, and psychological imbalances. By maintaining balanced and aligned chakras, we can promote optimal energy flow and ensure physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Introduction to Chakra Awareness Levels

Here are the seven levels of awareness, each associated with a specific chakra, from the root up to the crown:

  1. Survival – Root Chakra

  2. Desires – Sacral Chakra

  3. Intellect – Solar Plexus Chakra

  4. Compassion/Unconditional Love – Heart Chakra

  5. Acceptance – Throat Chakra

  6. Perception of Truth – Third Eye Chakra

  7. Freedom from Illusion – Crown Chakra

Since chakras are interrelated, imbalance in one causes a disturbance in the functionality of the other chakras as well. This makes people feel disconnected, anxious, fearful, and it manifests into health problems in one or more areas of the body. 

To function best, chakras need to be balanced. For this, you need to know what the chakras actually do and what are some of the things you can do to take care of them.  

Every chakra rotates at a specific frequency and speed. This frequency and speed can change due to various factors like diet, lifestyle, thought patterns, etc.

When we speak about balancing or awakening the chakras, we mean bringing them back to their regular speed. 

There is no one single method to unblock your chakras, but rather several. The best way to unblock your chakras will be different for everyone, and it’s a matter of trial and error to find out which method works for you.

Popular tools and techniques for chakra cleansing and balancing

One of the main reasons for an imbalance in the chakras is an imbalance of the five elements in the body. A balanced diet helps to bring balance to the elements of the body. To begin with, one can easily get the balance going with Chakra Herbal Drink

2 Asanas

Asanas help to stimulate the chakras, and improve their functioning. They also clear the way for the chakras to heal themselves. 

3 Breathing & Meditation

Breathing helps to increase the flow of prana in the body, and removes the stale prana. Chakra meditation calms the mind and helps the practitioner focus energy towards a problematic point in the chakra system.
