How to Balance Your Chakras
Written by Psychic Gabriela at Psychic Mix
We have all been through a harsh year so far. Dealing with the unknown and having fear and anxiety pushed at us from all directions. With this low-grade energy all around us, it is not surprising to see how our chakras are out of alignment.
I thought a little exercise to help you get back to the optimal balancing and to help you ease through the rest of the year would be a good exercise.
See below a list of the chakras and what they mean.
Root Chakra. The base of the spine. Red. "I am".
Location: Base of spine, in the tailbone area.
What it controls: Material world lessons.
Emotional issues: Survival, self-esteem, social order, security, family.
Mantra: "I grow from a steady foundation."
Colour: Red.
Element: Earth. Walking barefoot in the sand, grass, or dirt can be beneficial. Any time spent in nature is helpful for this chakra.
Stone: Hematite.
When it develops: 2 years old.
Sacral Chakra. Just below the navel. Orange. "I feel".
Location: Lower abdomen, about 2 inches below the navel.
What it controls: Emotional Connection.
Emotional issues: Blame, guilt, money, sex, power, control, creativity, morality.
Mantra: "I always honour others but not before myself."
Colour: Orange.

Solar Plexus Chakra. Stomach area. Yellow. "I do".

Please note: To access your third eye and crown charka, the first five chakras need to be in alignment.
How to Balance Your Chakras
For chakra balancing, which is easy, efficient, and powerful; follow these steps, devoting at least 30 seconds to each one to facilitate chakras healing.
Go to a calm, quiet place. Sit for a few minutes in silence, breathing deeply. Let yourself feel the tension flowing out of your body and start to notice the range of sensations you feel. A good chakra meditation involves all 7 chakras.
Begin at the tailbone, picturing a red light glowing and spinning at its centre. Feel it move in time with your breath. Say the sound: "Lam"
Shift focus to the place just underneath your navel, this time imagining a warm, orange light spinning and pulsing in time with the rhythm of your breath. Say the Sound: "Vam"
Move to an inch or so above your navel. This is the place where you’ll often feel love, anxiety, or excitement. Tune into an orange light spinning there. Say the Sound: "Ram"
Attend to the very centre of your chest, imagining a vivid green light. If you feel an urge to place a palm flat on this area as you breathe, do so. Say the Sound: "Yum"
Focus on the hollow of your throat, this time visualizing a blue light rotating and moving with the breath. Say the Sound: "Ham"
Think about the space between your brows. This represents your third eye. See an indigo light here, getting more vivid as it spins. Say the Sound: "Sham"
Finally, picture a purple light beaming out from the top of your head, connecting you to the energy of the universe around you. Sound: "Om"
If you feel that the light is not bright as it spins in your imagination, see what that chakra relates to, so that you can investigate what is causing that specific blockage.
Blessings to all of you and may you stay healthy and happy
