Clearing and balancing chakras came up for you in your daily card reading today, so I am posting some information about that for you.
Chakras (a Sanskrit word, meaning 'wheel') are the energy centers of your body, and although there are MANY, we generally refer to the 7 major chakras, which are illustrated in the chart above.
Each chakra has a different color vibration, to do with the speed that it vibrates at. Below is a very brief description of the 7 major chakras:
The ROOT chakra, located at the base of the spine, is red, and it is the slowest vibration of all your chakras. This energy centre relates to issues of security and safety. The gland associated with this chakra is the adrenal gland.
The SACRAL chakra, located just below your navel, is orange and vibrates at a slightly faster rate than the root chakra. This energy centre relates to issues of creativity and appetite. The glands associated with this chakra are the reproductive organs.
The SOLAR PLEXUS chakra, located in your midriff, is yellow and vibrates at a slightly faster rate than the sacral chakra. This energy centre relates to issues of personal power. The associated gland is the pancreas.
The HEART chakra, located in your chest, is green and it vibrates at a slightly faster rate than the solar plexus chakra. This energy centre relates to issues of giving and receiving Love. The gland associated with this chakra is the thymus.
The THROAT chakra is located in your throat, where your adam's apple is, and it is sky-blue in color. It vibrates at a slightly faster rate than your heart chakra. This energy centre relates to issues of communication. The gland associated with this chakra is the thyroid gland.
The THIRD EYE chakra is located in the centre of your forehead, is indigo in colour, and vibrates at a slightly faster rate than your throat chakra. This energy centre is related to psychic vision. The gland associated with this chakra is the pituatary gland.
The CROWN chakra is located on the top, or crown, of your head. It is violet in colour and vibrates at a slightly faster rate than your third eye chakra. This energy centre relates to Divine connection and communication with Higher Self. The gland associated with this chakra is the pineal gland.
Chakras are highly sensitive. If they absorb 'negative' energy (eg. being around negative people/situations, holding negative thoughts), they become dark or 'dirty' and change in size. A 'shrunken' chakra is the result of fear-based energy. An 'enlarged' chakra is the result of obsession. Once you know and understand the energies associated with chakras, it's easier to 'tap in' and connect with your chakras.
There are various methods of clearing and balancing your chakras (you want your chakras to be clear and bright in their particular colour, and to be equal to each other in size throughout your body, in whatever size is suitable for YOUR body). The most common means to clear and balance your chakras are:
~ Guided meditation (there are many CD's available for purchase, as well as YouTube meditations to assist you with chakra clearing and balancing...Doreen Virtue's is a popular one). A few years ago, I created a guided meditation for clearing and balancing your chakras, if you are interested.
~ Archangel Michael: You simply invoke Archangel Michael and ask that he clear and balance your chakras for you...this is a 'quick fix' method, and happens very quickly, as Archangel Michael is not restricted by time and space in the same way that we are in the physical body. Quiet yourself, and use whatever words feel right for you...it is truly all about your INTENTION to receive assistance in having your chakras cleared and balanced, and then be open to having Michael do so for you.
~ Crystal energy: there are certain crystals said to align well energetically with each chakra... Following, is a brief listing of these crystals, but as ALWAYS with crystal energy, rely on your own guidance and intuition in choosing crystals to work with, as we all carry our own unique resonance, and what works for one person may not for another...
You can place the crystals on the corresponding chakra and ask that the crystal assist you in clearing and aligning your chakras; you can simply carry the crystals with you and ask that they work their magic on you throughout the day; or you can sleep with the crystals in your proximity...there are really no limitations!
Here's a list of possible crystals to use:
Root: Agate, Bloodstone, Hematite, Red Coral, Red Garnet, Ruby
Sacral: Carnelian, Coral, Gold Calcite, Moonstone
Solar Plexus: Amber, Citrine, Tiger's Eye, Topaz, Yellow Sapphire
Heart: Emerald, Green Jade, Kunzite, Rose Quartz, Tourmaline
Throat Chakra: Aquamarine, Blue Sapphire, Blue Topaz, Chalcedony, Turquoise
Third Eye: Azurite, Calcite, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Quartz
Crown: Alexandrite, Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Diamond (including Herkimer), Selenite
Note: There are 'chakra wands' available, which have a crystal for each chakra housed on the wand, and there are also 'chakra pendants', and 'chakra bracelets'...all are beautiful tools for working with your chakras.
~ Pendulums: some use pendulums to indicate the 'condition' of their chakra by asking a 'yes' or 'no' question while holding the pendulum in front of a particular chakra (eg. "Is my root chakra out of balance?" etc.)
~ Reiki energy and/or treatment ~ implementing Reiki symbols to clear chakras
~ Yoga practise ~ particularly yogic breath
~ Smudging with sage and other sacred medicines
~ Essential oils, applied to the chakra points or diffused in your space
And the list goes on!
It is important to take care of yourself energetically, in order to 'feel your best'! Just as you regularly practise good physical hygiene to present your optimal self to the world, so it is with taking care of yourself energetically. We are unique and there is no 'right or wrong' way to clear and balance your chakras...as with ANY spiritual practise, it is all about INTENTION!!! I have offered some suggestions above but I truly encourage you to experiment and develop a technique that resonates completely with you...perhaps you will implement a combination of some of the techniques presented above. Know that your guides and angels are excited to work with you in this way, also! You just need to ask...
Blessings to you,
Linda
