CHAKRA AWARENESS



Back when I first started doing this psychic stuff, not that many people knew what a chakra was. Nowadays, it is a fairly common word and most folks know that chakras are energy centers in the body and may know that there are seven main chakras.

Fewer people, however, fully understand the significance of the chakra system and how the condition of our chakras is directly tied into our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, and vice versa.

Here’s how it all works: Say you’ve been promoted at work and are given new responsibilities. Maybe you are wondering if you are up to the challenge ahead of you. Uncertainty and worry begins to set in, and you notice that your stomach has begun to bother you. Your physician would probably say that the stomach upset is caused by stress, but I believe it goes even deeper than that.

What often happens when we are not feeling very self-empowered, is that our third chakra (located in the stomach area) begins to tighten up and shut down. The third chakra contains information regarding how we create what we want in our lives and how much in control we feel over our circumstances. When your “power” chakra is only running at half-throttle, so to speak, you may start to experience stomach upset, fatigue and maybe even a sense of helplessness.

But, by changing the energy in your chakra, your sense of insecurity and even your stomach ache may disappear. It can be helpful to sit down and focus on the chakra, allowing it to relax and visualizing it opening back up. This will help you get your energy back and start to feel capable of the task at hand. Remember, by receiving a chakra cleansing, or by learning to release energy from your own chakras through meditation, you can begin a valuable self-healing process.
