THE POWER OF THE CHAKRAS
This belief originates from India and says there are seven special energy centres in our bodies. Each chakra - or wheel - is linked to our physical, mental and emotional well-being - and if your chakras are grubby, you wont be feeling your best!
TIME FOR A SPRING CLEAN!
MEDITATION CAN IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF YOUR CHAKRAS - TRY THIS EXERCISE TO CLEANSE AND BALANCE YOURS!
Lie or sit in a comfortable position, back straight, head up. Breathe in and out slowly. Become aware of your body. When you are completely relaxed, concentrate on your base chakra. In your mind, picture a ball at the bottom of your spine. Note its colour - or aura - and health. Is it dirty, dusty or torn? Imagine your hands working on it to clean and repair it. Turn from your chakra and throw the dirt far away. Your base chakra shold be clean and bright red. Now imagine the room you're in is glowing with red energy. Swirls of it are flowing into your chakra until it's big and powerful. Do the same to each chakra - imagining each colour as shown - until all are clean and shiny. Feel better?
BASE CHAKRA (red)
Are you suffering from back pain, varicose veins or depression? Then you could
have a dirty base chakra. This chakra is associated with the colour red. It keeps us
grounded and connects us to other people. If you're prone to drifting off, then surround
yourself with red. It should bring you back to earth. The base chakra is located at the
bottom of the spine. It governs the spinal cord, legs, feet and immune system.
SACRAL CHAKRA (orange)
The lower abdomen houses this chakra. It governs our sexual organs, stomach, upper intestines, kidney and spleen. A strong, healthy orange chakra can help us find a balance in our life. It can encourage creativity, help us let go of the past and make positive changes in our lives. If your chakra gets grubby, it could leave you feeling guilty, angry and desperate to control events - all negative emotions. Physically, it could also leave you with lower back pain, pelvic and urinary problems.
SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA (yellow)
This chakra lies where the ribs join in our upper abdomen. It governs the liver, gall bladder, middle spine, spleen, kidney, stomach and controls self-esteem. If this chakra is in disrepair, you may experience stomach ulcers, diabetes, pancreatitis, indigestion and arthritis. You may also suffer from a lack of self-confidence, be indecisive and oversensitive to criticism. If this is the case, clean your solar plexus chakra immediately!
HEART CHAKRA (green)
Based at the centre of our chest, the heart chakra is the love cnetre of our energy system. Emotional pain from divorce, death or betrayal can damage it. This emotional pain may lead to many physical illnesses. Clean this chakra to strengthen yourself against heart conditions, lung and breast cancers, pneumonia, back pain and shoulder problems. Learning to love yourself should also help to prevent problems resurfacing.
THROAT CHAKRA (blue)
Located in the throat and neck region, this chakra can be affected if we're not true to ourselves. We speak our will with our voices. By not speaking the truth, or not speaking out when we should, our throat chakra is damaged. This can result in sore throats, mouth ulcers, swollen glands, voice problems, tooth and gum problems. Cleansing this chakra should remedy these illnesses. And to keep it in tiptop condition, express yourself and be truthful.
THIRD-EYE CHAKRA (indigo)
This is the brow chakra and sits in the centre of the forehead. It governs the brain, neurological system, eyes, ears and nose. The brow chakra is connected to brain tumours, strokes, blindness, panic and depression. When this chakra is in top form, it may improve your emotional intelligence. Suddenly, everything becomes really clear. You can easily separate what's fantasy and what's reality.
CROWN CHAKRA (violet/white)
The final chakra is set at the top of the head. It's connected to our spirituality and intuition. If dirty, it may cause depression, muscular and skin diseases, exhaustion and sensitivity to light. On an emotional level, an unhealthy crown chakra can lead to a lack of purpose and loss of identity. But when clean, it can improve our generosity and inspiration and allow us to see the bigger picture.
