Chakra Balancing


Energy therapists are excellent resources for helping you get rid of the pain of being imbalanced. On the other hand, you do have the power to take care of this yourself. Here's a really quick way to get your body aligned by reving up your chakra system. When I use the word "clockwise," I mean to say move your hand as if it were a hand on a clock. Whether you are working on yourself or another, the palm of your hand is placed an inch or two off the body. You then rotate your hand in a clockwise direction.

In an upright, standing position, tune into your body with a few cleansing breaths. With your left hand to your side, raise your right hand to the third eye chakra.

With your hand in this position, notice the movement of your body. Is it gravitating forward, backward or a neutral direction?

If your body feels pushed and you find yourself resisting falling backward, draw your chakra in a clockwise direction with your right hand. This will pull your body forward into a balanced space. If your body feels neutral, relax into the feeling and ask yourself if you would like more energy or if you need to stay neutral for your highest purpose in the moment.

If your body is pulling forward, your chakras are functioning in a healthy, outgoing movement and you can move on to the next chakra, the throat.

Continuing down the body. If your hand calls you to other parts of the body, please honor the call, move the chakra to resonate, correctly and efficiently move to the next.

After balancing the throat chakra, move to balance the heart. Just below the sternum is your solar plexus. Just below your belly button is your sacral center and finally, focus on your root by pulling your hand about 4-5 inches away. You can reach your root chakra from the front of your body.

If you find a particular chakra does not move forward with ease, it may need to be corrected by other means. There may be a block in other systems that need more attention and focus. Please make a note of those so your body is aware of your attention and respect to is presence.
