The Chakras – A Complete Guide

What Is A Chakra?

When you say the word chakra, many things will come to your mind.

You’ve probably heard of chakras being often referenced when it comes to meditation practices or emotional healing.

However, you may also be among the many people who find the concept of chakras confusing or even intimidating.

You may not have fully grasped its concept and what place it will have in your life.

You just need a basic understanding of how they work and how their unique energies can enhance your life on different levels.

Whether you’re trying to heal a physical wound, or looking for inspiration to enhance your manifestation abilities, or just wanting to improve your overall well-being, it’s very beneficial to know more about your chakras.

The word chakra translates to “wheel” or “circle”. They are distinct energy centers in the body, start from the top of your head and end just underneath your spine.

They work to balance all parts of your body, positively influencing everything, from protecting you from sickness to helping you process your emotions.

These faults or defects will inevitably lead to more faults and defects in the future when not addressed correctly or immediately. The machine will just continue to deteriorate.

Chakras also work the same way. Once you recognize where a particular chakra is located, you will become more comfortable and adept at activating it and strengthening your intuition when it comes to blockages.

When your they are unblocked and aligned, you can easily detect problems and resolve them as they arise or before they start to have serious consequences.

In addition, you can locate old emotional or spiritual wounds and do the necessary work to address them. When you properly know your chakras, you can also achieve proper healing old wounds and do the work needed to address them.

In summary, through proper knowledge, healing can occur.

The Chakras And Their Meanings

Where Does The Chakra Philosophy Come From?

The earliest known mention of chakras can be found in the Upanishads, which are ancient Sanskrit texts that contain most of the central ideas and philosophical concepts of Hinduism.

How Many Chakras Are There And Which Body Areas do They Relate to?

The most commonly referenced chakras are the seven major physical ones. Each of them connects the human body to the energy of the Universal Life Force.

These are special energy centers that manage the flow of energy through your body and are linked to major glandular and nerve plexus centers in the endocrine system.

When functioning properly, they will align and normalize the flow of energies to specific physiological systems.

When they are not functioning properly or becomes blocked, problems can crop up and discomforts can be felt in that area of the body which is served by the particular chakra.

When there’s too little or too much energy flow, it can affect the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health of a person.

The chakra system is important for the energy flow from the Universe to and through the different systems of your physical and subtle body.

There are simple and easy chakra exercises that will help you locate them, assess them, realign or put them back to balance.

Reiki And The Chakras 

Reiki is a form of energy healing which originated in Japan and was discovered by Mikao Usui, a Buddhist monk.

He learned how to feel and direct the universal life energy that flows through each human being.

Everyone can learn to harness this energy for healing purposes by undergoing a Reiki initiation wherein a master will awaken and introduce the student to Reiki energy.

Reiki uses the concept that energy centers allow life energy called Ki, or tandens in the original Japanese tradition, to move all throughout the body.

Originally, Reiki focused mainly on one energy center that’s located on the lower abdomen, just below the navel.

But there are also two other tandens found in the center of the forehead and the upper chest.

These days, Reiki practitioners make use of the chakra system instead of the tanden system.

This is because they provide a more accurate energetic map of the human body, making it easier for healers to focus their energies where they are most required.

Although the tanden and chakra systems both use the concept of energy flows and meridians, the fact that there are seven main chakras make it easier to give specific Reiki treatments for specific physical ailments.

A Reiki practitioner who is very familiar with the chakra system can use a person’s emotional symptoms to discover where a blockage has occurred and focus their energy on healing that.

The chakras have different elements, asanas, foods, and colors, to name a few.

By incorporating these elements and practices into a person’s daily life and undergoing Reiki treatment at the same time, a person can help speed up their healing process.

Many people also find the chakra system more instinctive than the tandens.

The symbols and colors that are associated with it can help one visualize energy flow and provide Reiki healers something that will sharpen their focus as they work.

A person’s body, mind, and spirit become healthy and balanced when all they are also healthy and clear.

When they become blocked, feelings and functions that are related to these will be affected adversely as well.

The overall balance becomes upset, and the other chakras are forced to make up for it.

The lower chakras rule the basic instincts that are associated with the physical self and survival.

The higher chakras, on the other hand, control the mental characteristics and emotions connected to thought and consciousness.

It’s the heart that bridges the lower and higher chakras and links both physical and emotional aspects.

Achieving the balance in your chakras with the help of chakra bracelets will not work if you don’t have faith in their healing abilities.

Chakra bracelets aid in meditation and connect you to positive life energies which can be channeled to achieve major life transformations.

These bracelets can also help in many situations, particularly when dealing with lingering emotional pains, mental troubles, bad addictions, or serious diseases.

Chakra bracelets can play a big role in a person’s path to recovery. The bracelets work by shifting your focus from negative thoughts to more positive ones.

The bracelets will also encourage you to have a more optimistic outlook on life.

They will inspire you to look at things from a different perspective and to stop dwelling too much on your troubles.

You don’t need to be experiencing a dark or difficult period in your life just to benefit from the healing properties of chakra bracelets.

Even without healing intentions, you can still wear chakra bracelets. They can add a lot of energy and focus in your life and greatly improve your circumstances.

Maximizing the benefits of your chakra bracelets require you to be more conscious of how you wear them.

Your chakra bracelets should be kept clean. You should also remove all dirt and foreign debris so that they don’t disturb the energies present in the chakra crystals and stones.
