Symptoms of Chakra Imbalance

Symptoms of Chakra Imbalance

The Chakras are energy centers within our subtle bodies, or our spiritual bodies, that are connected to our physical bodies. When one or more of the chakras are in a state of imbalance, the mind/body health becomes compromised since imbalanced chakras are those that have blocks. A blockage in the chakra comes from traumatic or negative experiences during a lifetime that have not been released. Negative thoughts or belief patterns will also cause blocks. Many times, one does not even know there are blocks, until the body suddenly demonstrates symptoms. Note that once the body is showing a physical symptom, the chakra has been blocked for some time. Although many believe that an illness causes a block in the chakra, it is really the other way around. The chakras are enabling healing by allowing the body to speak to the mind in many wonderful ways. As the message of pain or discomfort reaches the brain, most people will run immediately to the doctor, or in a worst case scenario, ignore the message.

Once the concept of Chakra Balancing is understood as a valid healing method, as every message saying something is off balance in the body or mind is received by the brain, the easiest and most efficient recourse would be to go into a Healing Chakra mode. These healings can be carried out by oneself, or by a qualified healer. There are many, many healing techniques available today to be learned or experienced that will clear and release blocks in chakras. Some of the better known are Meditation, Reiki, Crystal Healing, Reflexology, Acupuncture, Yoga, Acupressure, and Emotional Freedom Technique (otherwise known as EFT or Tapping).

It is known that as of today, there are hundreds of chakras in and around the bodies, with apparently new ones appearing as Universal Awareness becomes more developed. There are the major seven that are used for healing and balancing.

All chakras are inter-related, although they rule over different characteristics and functions. If one chakra is unbalanced, it could be due to the chakra below it being unbalanced. They work individually and cooperatively at the same time. Therefore, it is important when balancing and clearing the chakras that they be treated simultaneously, that is to say, in the same session.

The symptoms listed here are a result of not enough energy being circulated to and within the chakra, due to blocks. Blocks are seen as black or muddy energy, and it is necessary to bring in white light to clear the blackness. This is literally done by meditating, breathing, visualizing and yoga, just to mention a few of the most popular and effective ways to clear blocks by introducing white light. Maintaining an attitude of joy and gratitude at all times is an instantaneous way of clearing negative energies. Those who can intuitively see the auric field report an immediate change in colors from black to pastels and whites around the aura when a positive or joyous thought replaces a negative one.
