\"Chakra<\/a><\/p>\n

Energy. It can be neither created nor destroyed.<\/p>\n

It merely exists.<\/p>\n

Whether that is in a state of rest, as in potential energy, or a vibrating frequency strong enough to emit electromagnetic waves, energy is in constant supply.<\/p>\n

Qi (also called Chi) is the life force energy that flows through your body. And chakras are\u00a0areas within the physical body where the Qi is concentrated and flows strong.<\/p>\n

An imbalance in your Chi can cause physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual issues. By practicing chakra healing, these problems can begin to be corrected.<\/p>\n

Regain control of your overall wellness by unblocking or restoring the power of your chakras.<\/p>\n

Before you learn how to take back control, you must understand the process of chakra healing.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin.<\/p>\n

Where to Focus Chakra Healing<\/h2>\n

The energy, or life force, within your body is centered in the 7 chakras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chakras that are not releasing a steady flow of energy can become blocked, underactive, overactive, and even closed. If energy does not flow freely your spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being will begin to suffer.<\/p>\n

There are many methods for healing the chakra energy. We will begin by discussing three of the basic techniques:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using foods associated with each chakra’s\u00a0corresponding color<\/a> to bolster the body’s energy<\/li>\n
  2. Opening the individual chakra regions using asanas (yoga poses<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  3. Practicing aromatherapy for chakra healing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you’re new to the philosophy of chakras you may not be aware of the signs that a particular chakra is not functioning effectively. Which means you cannot focus your healing if you don’t know which areas need it most.<\/p>\n

    We list some of the mental and physical signs of an out of balance chakra.<\/p>\n

    We hope you find this enlightening.<\/p>\n

    Healing the Root Chakra<\/h2>\n

    The first chakra — Muladhara — is located at the base of the spine near the tailbone. It grounds or “roots” us in the physical world.<\/p>\n

    Signs of an unbalanced Root Chakra:<\/strong> anxiety, fear, defensiveness, and feelings of disconnection.<\/p>\n

    Physical symptoms:<\/strong> digestive ailments, hip or lower back pain, cysts in the ovaries, and prostate issues in men.<\/p>\n

    Healing Foods<\/h3>\n

    The root chakra’s color is red. Consume foods with strong red colors such as beans, beets, parsnips, rainbow chard, pomegranate, and cranberries. Animal proteins, including eggs\u00a0and red meat, are also helpful.<\/p>\n
