🌟 Chakra Healing 101: Balance, Energy Flow, and Crystal Support 🌟
Our bodies are beautiful systems of energy, and the chakra system is one of the most powerful ways to understand how that energy flows. When our chakras are balanced, we feel aligned, vibrant, and connected. But when they’re overactive or underactive? That’s when we start to feel off emotionally, physically, or spiritually.
Let’s dive into what chakras are, how to identify if yours need attention, and how crystals and simple activities can help bring them back into balance.
🌈 What Are Chakras?
Chakras are spinning energy centers in the body that influence different physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our lives. There are seven main chakras, running from the base of your spine to the crown of your head.
Each chakra has its own frequency, color, associated organs, emotions—and its own way of letting you know if something’s out of whack.
⚖️ Chakra States: Balanced, Underactive, Overactive
Here’s a breakdown of what each state can look like:
State | What it Feels Like |
---|---|
Balanced | Energy flows freely, you feel aligned and empowered in that chakra's domain. |
Underactive (Blocked) | Energy is sluggish. You may feel disconnected, tired, or insecure in that area. |
Overactive | Energy is too intense. You may feel overwhelmed, overly dominant, or emotionally volatile. |
