My last blog talked briefly about what the chakras are and how the nervous system is connected to the chakras. In this blog I dig deeper on each chakra and what each one is used for, how we can keep them unblocked and aligned.
There are 7 main chakras in our body. There are many many more but these are the main ones and are also referred to as your energy centers. They help regulate parts of your body and keep them healthy and free of harmful blockages. When you are blocked in a chakra is can cause dis-ease in your body. When one is balance then you might feel it in different ways such as anxiety, stress, tiredness, not able to concentrate, not feeling worthy or loved in this life and many many more things. When they are in balance you feel full of love and abundance, you feel supported, able to speak and live your truth without hesitation, feel fully of energy with less stress and anxiety. We all know what stress, worry and anxiety can do to our bodies. That's where Reiki Healing Energy comes into play. It can calm the nervous system and help you connect to your true self and listen to what it needs. You can then work on areas that need your attention.
ROOT CHAKRA
The Root Chakra is located in your pelvic area and where your sitz bones lie. Your root chakra governs your connection to Mother Earth. Where you feel grounded and supported by family, friends and Mother Earth. Feeling appreciative and thankful for what you have and all the abundance in your life. When we live more with intent rather than habit we are more connected to who we are. This lets life flow easily and you feel happier. Connecting to Mother Earth connects us back to ourselves. Let's remember we are here for a purpose, all of us. Even if we don't know what that is yet. We are meant to share our purpose.
The Root Chakra wants to help support you and your purpose. When we are out of balance we won't feel supported in our relationships and to the Mother Earth. We can connect back by getting out in nature, have a strong connection to a parent or family member and understand that the Earth supplies our needs always not our wants.
SACARAL CHAKRA
Your Sacral Chakra is located between your pelvic and navel area, right below your naval. This chakra governs your sexuality, creativity, and helps us recognize our power. When this chakra is flowing and in balance it can help us create an abundant life. Sometimes when we grow up we are not told or encouraged to pursue our passions and this can suppress what we are really meant to do and what makes us happy. Just like the moon comes and goes so do the energies within the sacral chakra. It influences our desires, emotions, reproduction and sexuality.
Did you know that emotions literally means "to move out"? This chakra is about movement and change. We thrive on change. Yet we hold back from change. We get scared, but if we suppress that in can lead to blockages and then to DIS-EASE in our bodies. The natural flow in disrupted. By realizing and relaxing we can move in natural and harmonious ways so our energy flows free. Which ultimately is what we want for ourselves.
Stay tuned for more where I will go into the next few chakras, how they work for us and our bodies.
