Chakras are energy centers in your body. Your chakra can become imbalanced because of a lot of stress in your day-to-day life. So what to expect after chakra balancing? 

Balancing all seven chakras has immense benefits as it helps in reducing stress and anxiety. You will be more focused on your work. But it comes with some challenges: you will no longer be able to resist toxic things. You will start welcoming the challenges in your life to make yourself stronger and tougher.

The article discusses more on chakras, chakra balancing, and what to expect.

What Are Chakras?

In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means wheel. These wheels extend from the base of the spinal cord to the crown of your body. 

These chakras or spinning wheels are the energy sources of your body that need to be constantly aligned because they correspond to major organs, nerves, and other vital parts of your body. 

Chakras can affect your physical, mental and emotional well-being. A blocked chakra can decrease your self-esteem, and you feel anxiety, fear, unstable, and insecurity.

It’s believed that we have nearly 114 chakras or energy wheels in our bodies. But seven of these are the primary energy source points. These spinning wheels or chakras each have a name, color, and position from the sacrum to your crown.

Chakras are gaining popularity today because of the popularity of yoga. The energy system of chakras is very complex and originated in India. These chakras were earlier mentioned in Vedas, dating back to 1500 to 1000 BC. There are a lot of things to study about chakra. But very little research has been done till now regarding chakras.

How Many Chakras Are There?

There are seven chakras in the human body which I am listing below.

• Root chakra (the Muladhara associated with the color red)
• Sacral Chakra (the Swadhisthana associated with the color Orange)
• Solar Plexus chakra (the Manipura associated with the color Yellow)
• Heart chakra (the Anahata associated with the color Green)

The Chakras Of Matter

There are three types of chakras of matter which I am describing below.

#1.Root Chakra

The first chakra is the root chakra or red chakra. This chakra is found at the base of the spine. When this chakra is open or aligned, you feel stable, secure, and grounded to the earth. 

But when this root chakra becomes misaligned, then you can have physical health issues like constipation, weight gain, bladder or colon problem, and extreme pain in the lower back. Moreover, an unbalanced root chakra will affect your emotions badly, like you will start feeling insecure about your finances and primary needs.

There are various gemstones that you can wear to balance the root chakra. Even you can do yoga and meditation to keep root chakra in alignment.

#2.Sacral Chakra

The orange color sacral chakra is present just below your belly button but above your pubic bone. It is the sexual or creative center of your physical body. This chakra needs to be balanced for the feeling of extreme joy and happiness.

If the sacral chakra becomes misaligned, you can have issues like lower back pain, impotence, or infections in the urinary tract.

#3.Solar Plexus Chakra

The yellow color solar plexus chakra is present in your upper abdomen. If the chakra is balanced, then you are self-esteem, confident or determined. But if it becomes blocked, then you can have heartburn, ulcer, and indigestion.

The 4th chakra

The 4th chakra is the heart chakra, which is green in color. It is found in the center of your chest. When the heart chakra is aligned, then you feel connected with other people. The fourth chakra is also considered to be the connection between matter and spirit.

But if it is blocked, you feel insecure and lonely and can have physical problems like you may gain more weight or lose weight, asthma, and heart problems. 

The Chakras Of Spirit

#5. Throat Chakra

The 5th chakra, which is blue in color, is the throat chakra. This chakra determines your ability to communicate with people through your body.

When the throat chakra is aligned, you speak confidently because you know whatever words you are saying are 100 percent true. But if the throat chakra is blocked, then you will have issues with teeth, gums, and mouth.

#6. Third Eye Chakra

The 6th chakra, which is indigo in color, is the third eye chakra. This chakra is found in the forehead, i.e., between the eyes. When the third eye chakra is balanced, you will trust your intuition and follow it. But if it is blocked, you have headaches or issues with hearing or vision.

#7. Crown Chakra 

The 7th chakra, which is on the top of the head is called the crown chakra and is violet in color. It is a chakra of awareness and intelligence. If this chakra is aligned, it helps all other chakras in your body keep aligned or unblock. Issues in the crown chakra can affect different organs in your body, including the brain and nervous system.

Balancing Your Chakras

Suppose all the chakras in your body are balanced, then the energy can flow appropriately in your body and mind. But if any of the seven chakras are imbalanced, you will have physical, mental, or emotional issues.

You can make all your chakra balanced in the following ways.

#1.Meditation

Meditation is the best way to keep all the seven chakras in your body balanced. I will suggest you do color meditation.

Each chakra is associated with a different color. You have to sit in a cross-leg position and close your eyes. Then think about each chakra with its color. For instance, you can start with the root chakra, which is red in color. Allow the energy of the root chakra to expand on each breath.

Similarly, repeat with the other six chakras. You will feel better, and your chakras will be balanced and aligned.

#2. Connect With Nature

If you feel anxious, unstable, tired, or ungrounded, then one of the chakras is imbalanced. You need to connect with nature by walking on your bare feet on the soil or doing gardening for some time. It may help to feel grounded, stable and secure.

#3. Yoga

Each chakra is associated with a specific yoga posture. For instance, if you want to keep your red chakra balanced, then you can do tadasana to keep it aligned.

You can do yoga regularly to keep all the chakras of your body balanced and open.

#4. Pranayama

Pranayama is an excellent technique to balance your seven chakras. It not only helps relax your body but also helps maintain proper energy flow in your body and mind. 

The best pranayama is Nadi Shodhana, in which you have to block one nostril and take a deep breath from one side. Then repeat on another side. It will help in easing stress and anxiety.

#5. Gemstones

You can wear gemstones to balance your chakras. Remember gemstones are specific for each chakra. For instance, you can wear garnet or obsidian to balance the root chakra. You can wear amber or topaz gemstone to balance the sacral chakra.

#6. Essential Oils

You can use essential oils to balance the chakra. There is a specific essential oil to balance each chakra. Try to dilute the essential oil with coconut oil or olive oil; otherwise, it will irritate your skin.
