Understanding Chakra Balance
The Chakra system reveals your standards and boundaries around giving and receiving in life. When balanced, life flows easily. When imbalanced, physical and emotional restrictions arise.
Root and Heart Chakra
- The Root Chakra represents feeling grounded.
- Underactive: causes anxiety
- Overactive: an unhealthy attachment to physical comforts
- The Heart Chakra represents love and forgiveness.
- Closed: we feel fear, anger, and numbness
- Open: choosing love over fear
Blocked chakras manifest in body aches and recurring emotions. Meditating on chakras brings alignment. Their colors guide healing crystals and clothes to balance them. Daily meditation aligns them. Healers use massage, energy work, and aromatherapy to open blocked ones. Keeping them balanced brings insight and eases life’s flows.
