Hey Cosmic Lovers! I’m sure most of you have heard of the term “chakras,” but rarely does anyone go any deeper into what they are, why they are important, and how to work with them. Screenshot this article because today we’re going to take a deep dive into all things chakras and I’ll be giving you a few core practices so you can start activating them right away!
Chakras are energy centers in the body, rooted in various spiritual and healing traditions, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. There are typically seven main chakras, each associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being.
Here are the seven main chakras and how they specifically affect us both emotionally, physically, energetically:
While there are dozens of chakras, these seven are the dominant ones that affect us more often and thus are important to keep balanced.
Since these energy centers are vital to our overall well being, it’s important that they stay balanced and activated. Balancing and activating your chakras involves performing a variety of practices that help to promote and support the balance and energy flow within these energy centers. While the practices aren’t super simple or easy, they aren’t that hard either. If you start to make them a habit, you’ll notice quite quickly how much better you feel overall.
Below are some powerful and effective methods to help you balance and activate your chakras.
1. Meditation: One of my favorites! To make my life easier (and yours too), don’t try to sit quietly and “think of nothing.” Do this instead:
2. Yoga: Its whole foundation is built on the healing of energy and there are actual yoga poses that target the different chakras. For example:
3. Sound Healing: Sound Healing is different from meditations that use music or voice because it utilizes specific chants and tools that can help to activate the chakras such as:
4. Crystals: Another personal fave! I love healing crystals not only because they are super gorgeous looking, but they have so many uses. When it comes to chakras and crystals, they are a natural match. Here’s how to work with healing crystals to activate your chakras:
5. Essential Oils: I’ve so many personal faves and EOs are also at the top of list. These delicious smelling babies have been used since the beginning of time for medicinal, culinary, and energetically healing needs.
6. Diet and Lifestyle: I know this one is a bit annoying, because you already know pizza and chips aren’t going to get these lovely energy wheels spinning and activated!
But listen, it’s not that complicated. While you don’t have to go vegan, you will certainly need to eat healthier and be more mindful of your dietary habits overall. To use food to activate your chakras, try this:
7. Movement and Dance
So there you have it!
While you don’t have to do all of these practices, if achieving holistic health is your goal – which the activation of your chakras plays a big role in – then you’ll want to incorporate as many of these practices as often as you can, as soon as you can.
Make it fun for yourself by making it a tiny ritual, even if just a few times a week, and certainly incorporate these practices into your self-care routine.
