Balancing the Chakras for Health

Balancing the Chakras for Health

The Chakras which are the natural energy centers of our body need to be balanced in order for us to achieve good health. This is totally free and needs no amount of cash from our pockets. In this series, we continue to discuss How To Heal Our Body Without Spending Money.

This is the second article in our series. To read our first article Why Do We Get Sick, click here. Basically, we’ve identified the cause to all our diseases in one word – IMBALANCE. In this article, we continue to discuss ways on how we can achieve this BALANCE.

Some people may feel skeptical about chakras, it may sound so New Age or beyond the realm of normal people. But chakras are there and chakras continue working whether we accept them or not. And it’s not really difficult to understand them once we learn the practical things to which they apply to, in our health for instance.

I too had reservations about chakras. At first I thought they only pertain to “opening the third eye” and seeing great visions, or to achieving some supernatural powers. I’ve realized however that this is not quite true. This isn’t the complete and realistic concept about chakras.

My awareness of chakras deepened further when some of my chakras got imbalanced, an imbalance that lead to unfavorable physical conditions. When my heart chakra was unbalanced, I’ve experienced heart palpitations and hyperventilations. I felt I couldn’t breathe almost as if I’d die. When my solar plexus wasn’t balanced, I felt throbbing pains in my abdomen. When my third eye chakra became unbalanced, I had a terrible headache and even got problems with my eyes. That’s how it manifests! I’m even fortunate enough because I could have experienced worse manifestations.

If you can stay with me for a while, I shall try to guide you towards a simple understanding of the chakras and how by balancing them, we can achieve good health.

WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?

The word CHAKRA comes from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disc. They are discs of energy in specific energy centers of the body. There are seven major chakras located in the following:

1.Root chakra – located at the base of your spine
2.Sacral chakra – located below your navel
3.Solar Plexus – located at the lower abdomen
4.Heart chakra – located at the heart area
5.Throat chakra – located at the throat
6.Third Eye chakra – located in your forehead between your eyebrows
7.Crown chakra – located at the top of your head

Why are chakras important? Being energy centers, they connect our bodies to our etheric source and keeps the balance of the Universal Life Force circulating in our body. Without balance, as we have discussed in our first article in the series, we get sick.

Just imagine your power supply. Without electricity running in your office, you’ll be in the dark. You couldn’t do a thing, even a simple task like encoding and printing your reports. When there is no energy or when the energy is blocked, that’s the result. Now imagine a surge of electric current beyond what is required. Could you imagine it causing fire and severe destruction in your office? That’s the same with chakras. If these chakras are understimulated or overly stimulated, physical manifestations of the problem occur.
