Balancing and Healing the 7 Chakras

We spoke about chakras in a previous article, where we discussed about the link between mental health and a clear and balanced chakra system. We don`t have to be spiritual teachers to be able to balance our own chakra system. Each of us vibrates to a certain frequency. We are all vibrational human beings. As we affirmed before in some of the previous articles, all the material world we perceive around us is vibrating. The lower the frequency is , the more materialized is the object.

Our planetary frequency vibration is slowly rising since 2012. Living in the Earth`s electromagnetic field, we are all affected by it`s increasingly vibration. As a result, we feel an inner desire to rise our vibrational frequency in different ways. In order to be able to successfully rise our vibration limits, we need to have an inner balanced chakra system.

We may feel this impulse from deep down inside, and it is normal to feel it. All we need to do is to expose our physical body to different types of coherent and harmonized vibrational sources. Our traditional well known sense organs (eyes, nose, tongue, touch and ears) will do the job for us. Their job is to translate the vibrational frequency they are experiencing and to try synchronizing it to the one our body vibrates on.

Chakra Healing

Therefore, we have a lot of proper “instruments” that help us balancing our chakras. We don`t need to be spiritual teachers, anybody can “heal” his own chakras. Meditation and visualization is one of the most common ways to balance and charge your energetic points. We can visualize how each chakra is filled with it`s corresponding color, from the Universal energy. Sound is another good method to balance chakras. By sound we understand nature sounds, instrumental and non-instrumental music, sound of the Tibetan`s bowl, spoken mantras, prayers. Smell can be also be used to balance our chakras, due to Aromatherapy. Yoga is another popular method to work chakra`s energies.

Our six bodily chakras are stacked up like a sort of pyramid, with the lowest one, the root chakra creating the wide base of the pyramid. The highest one in our body, the sixth chakra or Ajna, represents the top of the pyramid. It`s light is easy mutable, while the root chakra is dense and heavy, being characterized by stability. The seventh chakra isn`t even truly part of our physical body. Sahasrara or the “1000 petals flower” is our spiritual connection to everything. It resides of the body, above the crown of our head.

Also we need to take into consideration the strong link between the 7 chakras and our senses:

Yoga is another fantastic aligning method of the chakras, especially kundalini yoga. Reiki and Energetic healing sessions are preferred also.

There are tons of ways you can do this and I encourage everyone to try healing their chakra system alone, before appealing to a spiritual teacher.
