How to Balance Your Chakras
The 7 Chakras
It is known the modern idea that our body is matter and nothing else. We have a mental body, an emotional body, and an energetic body moved, precisely, by emotions. It is represented by our 7 chakras.
The term chakra comes from Sanskrit (the classical language of India) which means wheel. They are our energy centers and there are 7 chakras. All are distributed along the spinal column. This together form the column of the subtle body, better known as Sushumna Nadi. This column of the energy body is connected to the physical column through the spinal cord. In turn, the chakras connect with each other thanks to the Nadis or energy channels.
Chakras Origin
The word “nadi” comes from the Sanskrit meaning tube or artery and they form our energy system. Through this, emotional information and prana or vital energy circulate. One of the ways in which our body absorbs this vital energy is through our breathing. Our emotions are in a difficult-to-control swing and, we are more likely to overreact to any event. We can not think clearly, and we can not have restful sleep. Results in increase stress and anxiety.
That´s why breathing is important. If we allow prana to stop circulating correctly, we unbalance our energetical body and our emotions are affected.
Each chakra works with a different emotion. It can be activated in different ways. One of the ways is yoga, as a healing tool to connect body, mind, and soul.
I will describe each chakra and write a question for you to answer personally. To help you identify what you need to heal. Take it as an opportunity to improve and get a little closer each day to experiencing harmony, equanimity and peace in your life.
I recommend that you write down all your answers. You can keep them as a record and you can compare your notes. You can write an action plan to heal that emotion. And, like any healing process, it begins by identifying the first step to achieving what you want.
