The seven chakras that start from the base of the spine are the base or the root chakra, the ones at sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown of the head. Each of the chakras is named as par their location on the body. The chakras in concept have their roots in the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism. The state or condition of a person is reflected by the Chakras. The aspects could be anything like emotion, physiology, physical or spiritual. By the help of a Chakra test, the position and possible comfort level of a person can be judged.

The first point that needs to be noted is that, the chakra test can be in a basic level done by a person himself, by assessing his physical problems if any. He can identify the areas of his body which are not working properly and hence can hold a particular chakra responsible. An example to represent this fact is that, say suppose a person has a heart, thyroid or any digestive ailments, that means the person has to balance his heart, throat and solar plexus charkas respectively.

When you are going for identifying the problems physically, you can perform other Chakra tests as well. These are self analysis exercises, measuring up of emotional strength and fear assessment. There are different problems like suffering from insecurity, fear of criticism, fear of betrayal or rejection or the inability to express something personally or professionally then you should check up with your chakras. The chakras of the base/ root, solar plexus, heart and throat might need balancing or are blocked in the above case.

The third point is that in this age of digital revolution and the internet, chakra tests can even be undertaken online. These are actually tests of about 50 to 80 questions asked to you about yourself, your fears, and your positive points, thus coming to conclusion that which of your charkas are open, closed or hyperactive.

As a fourth chakra test technique you might also give your close friend or someone who knows you well a set of such questionnaire to be filled up about yourself to get an unbiased and more accurate chakra test result. This method holds good when you are not too sure about yourself.

You can also try out the Kinesiology Test. Stand upright. Stretch your dominant hand straight up on the side. Place your other hand on the seven chakra positions one by one. At the same times try to concentrate. Meanwhile, your partner must try to push down your dominant hand. This should be done at least a seven times for seven chakras. The whole cycle should be repeated twice or thrice. There is a pattern that can be realized. Your partner has definitely found it hard to push down your dominant hand for some chakras while for the others it was easy. In case of the chakras where pushing down the hand was difficult, those chakras are open while the others need to be worked upon.

Thus we see that all the methods of chakra tests gives a good idea about which are well balanced and which are not, and needs to be worked upon. Thus these chakras tests ensure the well being of a human being for a future happy and healthy life.

Chakra balancing is all about realizing that a person’s physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing depends on the energy reception and transmission from these chakras. Thus, any misdirection or blockage thereof, is the sole cause behind all the physical illnesses that man suffers from. The Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown of the Head Chakras are the seven body chakras which can be said to be the force points of our entire energy system, our full life force in its entirety. Thus, it is extremely crucial to keep these energy meridians balanced and in equilibrium so that the flow of energy is not hampered.

Amidst numerous techniques like those of meditation, acupuncture, radionics, sound therapy etc, Reiki Chakra Balancing is one of the most effective in its chakra balancing and thereby physical healing capacities. Also known as Palm healing, it involves placing or directing the healer’s palms over the chakra positions of the healee in order to transmit energy from the higher infinite source to the healee. Thus, the healer or the Reiki practitioner is an intermediate person who facilitates channelizing this energy with the help of intense focus and good intention.

Start with asking the healee to wear loose and comfortable clothing and lie down comfortably in a relaxed and calm state of mind. Thereafter the Reiki practitioner needs to practice some basic meditation techniques to attain the required mental state for Reiki Chakra Balancing. Remember that the healee needs to be comfortable and open for the entire process to work.

Common Reiki techniques involve looking/staring, blowing, touching, tapping stroking or placing the palms flatly against specific positions or diseased part of the healee’s body. Most of the hand positions are around the head and neck area but they can also be on the front or back of the torso as well as knees and feet. Many a times the process starts with the healer scrutinizing the aura or the energy field emanated from the person to identify the diseased body parts.

Starting from energizing physically with the warmth of the practitioner’s palms, to using Reiki symbols to provide heightened intervention in diseased spots, Reiki Chakra Balancing is performed in various levels. The healee senses a tingling sensation in the area targeted and mystical Reiki symbols are drawn and concentrated upon for transmitting energy and balancing the chakra where a serious injury or disease has occurred. One can also heal by placing his palms on the affected areas for varied lengths of time and this is known as localized treatment.

Thus, it can be seen that Reiki Chakra balancing is all about using one’s hands to transmit energy to that Chakra where it is needed the most so as to balance and align the same for improved wellbeing of the healee.

It can be concluded by saying that though Reiki Chakra Balancing is extensively used in healing and is most popular where a person is diseased or has a serious injury, it is always better to proactively go for Reiki chakra balancing for smooth energy flow in one’s body for the ultimate physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing.

There are seven major energy centers among the several thousands that make up our chakra system. These seven major chakra points are the doorways of energy that we gather from our environment and surroundings (including other individuals) that make up the complete person that we are in terms of spirituality, physical and mental existence as a human being.

Each major energy point of our bodys chakra system possesses a unique function which contributes to a unique feature of our individuality. Although they work independently of each other, they are at the same time processing the energy they gather towards a common goal: our well being.

Although there are various models of the human bodys chakra system they have one thing in common, all models depict an uncanny illustration of the human bodys endocrine system and how the various endocrine glands chemically signal and communicate to one another.

The common representation of our major chakras is a straight ascending line along the spinal column from the base to the top of the head. Modern representations go one step further and assign the primary colors of the color wheel to each of the seven major energy points for a better illustration and to depict particular energy representations as colors symbolize different energy levels as well.

The significance and existence of chakras is primarily assumed to exist in our awareness (psyche). Nonetheless, there are advocates who firmly believe that chakras also have a physical manifestation and exist not just in the consciousness. Not without basis though as more and more study on the subject reveals what the Ancient Hindus and other Eastern Civilizations have claimed thousands of years ago: that there is a distinct and direct connection between the locations and performance/behavior of the chakras and of the endocrine glands of our body.

Our bodys energy centers play a very important role in our well being ” both physically and spiritually.

Since the chakra system is the principal processing center for every facet of our self, any interruption, obstruction or dysfunction or fault in the flow of energy in the chakras usually results to illnesses or disorders in our body, mind or spirit. A malfunction of the energy flow through any of the seven major chakras results in a corresponding reaction to specific areas of the body which generally affects the entire individual. The reason for this is because energy fields are generally holistic in nature and can not be separate from its complementary component parts; a malfunction of one affects the others in one way or another.

Of the major energy points of our chakra system, only five are believed to possesses a front part (generally dominant) and a rear part (less dominant). The first chakra (located at the base of the spine and portrays an individuals physical vitality and survival) and the seventh chakra (located at the crown of the head and portrays a persons totality of being and spiritual perfection) are usually represented as having only one dominant component. The other five energy points of our chakra systems are spaced between the first and seventh chakras.

This even makes it more important to realize the functions of our chakra system and how to manipulate them to our advantage in order for them to send and receive energy in equal amounts.

All the seven chakras have a color associated with them, which helps in synchronizing the movement of the respective Chakra. The use of colors in your efforts to strike a balance between their movements is referred to as Chakra Color Therapy.

The main Chakras along with their description and associated colors are discussed below:

1. The Root Chakra (or Muladhara), situated at the base of the spine, is associated with our general health and survival, courage, and vitality. Red is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the body with overall energy and vitality.

2. The Sacral Chakra, or Svadhisthana, is located just below the navel. This chakra is associated with our sexual drive and emotions. The associated color is Orange, which is known for its qualities of success, self-confidence, and independence of thoughts.

3. The Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura, is located just above the navel. This chakra is associated with will, identity, and power. The associated color is Yellow, which is known for its qualities of self-worthiness, clarity of thought, and intellect.

4. The Heart Chakra (or Anahata), situated at the center of the chest, is associated with love, relationships, and compassion. Green is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the body with the sense of forgiveness and intimacy.

5. The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha, is located in the throat area. This chakra is associated with expression and communication. The associated color is Blue, which is known for its qualities of clarity in communicating the feelings with others, self-identification, and creativity.

6. The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) is situated between the eyebrows. This sixth chakra is associated with the sixth-sense feelings that are demonstrated through intuitions and apprehensions. The color associated with this chakra is Indigo. The attributes of Indigo color for the body include visualization, self-responsibility, and understanding.

7. The Crown Chakra (or Sahasrara), situated on top of the head, is associated with consciousness, knowledge, and wisdom. Violet is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the body with a sense of spiritual awareness and self-awareness.

The color associated with each Chakra can be used and incorporated in our lives to balance the dysfunctioning chakras. Chakra Color therapy can be used only after identifying the damaged chakras in the body, which are responsible for its abnormal functioning.

The next step is Color Breathing. This is simple exercise of relaxation with all the seven (colored) cloth swatches besides you. After identifying the disturbed chakra by going through the events of the day, take the colored cloth swatch, and lay them on the body part associated with the affected chakra. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and visualize the color being absorbed by the chakra. The constant practice of this process for 5-10 minutes should be enough for the balancing of the affected Chakra. If more than one Chakra is out of balance, repeat the process for the imbalanced Chakras.

You can easily maintain chakra balance in the body by regularly practicing Chakra Color Therapy for about 10 minutes daily. It will recharge and oil your chakra movements while keeping their healthy movement going within the body. Your physical, mental and spiritual well being was never so easy to attain.

Certain mystical practitioners even believe the number of these wheels to be fourteen.

These begin at the base of the spine/genitals (root chakra) and extend right up to the top of the head (crown chakra).

The base chakra is red. As we go up, the solar plexus has a golden chakra; the belly or womb chakra is orange in hue. The heart has a green chakra, the throat blue and the center of the forehead is indigo. This acts like the third eye. At the crown, the chakra is violet that turns whiter towards its circumference away from the head.

As well as each chakra being associated with a particular color, they are numbered from one to seven with the base chakra being number one and the crown chakra being number seven.

Chakra one controls sexual health, physical strength and vitality

The second chakra commands our creative powers.

Chakra three is responsible for our will power and desires.

Chakra four at the heart commands our emotional energy that opens us up to giving and receiving love.

Chakra five manages the equation between our emotions and thoughts. It decides our communication powers and gives us personal magnetism.

Chakra six influences a person’s intuition, psychic powers and insights, also referred to as the sixth sense.

The seventh chakra connects us with our higher power and the rest of the universe.

When people feel they are connecting directly with God, they are focusing the energies of their seventh, purple-white, crown chakra.

The principle behind these chakras or wheels is that in a clean and healthy mind, these wheels will spin freely. And a spinning wheel will emit the most positive and strongest good energies for the person. However, if these wheels cannot spin due to some blockage, the person will experience sickness problems, both mentally and physically amid his or her chakras.

The secret to health is that these chakras should be balanced. In case even one wheel is more active than others, the result can be addictions, neuroses, obsessive-compulsive disorders or unintentional cruelty.

There is constant worry that these chakras will become blocked. For instance, some people who possess a negative attitude towards sexual relations or have a poor diet will experience ill health or broken romantic relations primarily because they have disturbed the base red chakra.

If you constantly think about dark things like working black magic against people, you’ll clog up the seventh, purple-white, crown chakra and cut off your access to the cosmic or the divine, leaving you feeling bitter, fearful, and empty.

A freely spinning energy wheel will be characteristically flexible. The human mind has the power to receive good vibes and ward off bad and negative ones. It is just like a hand, which can open and close when required but if broken, it will not function. Similarly a healthy chakra will open and close as per the vibes it encounters.

Chakra therapy means basically that you focus your attention and concentration on each of the seven main chakras in turn. This should really be done on a daily basis.

Look at each chakra area by meditating and seeing how its aspects are manifesting in your life. You do this by visualizing your body’s energy in that particular chakra. If you become aware that your chakra energy is lacking in any particular category, then you can use meditation to make that particular chakra healthy and balanced.

Some people find it easier to meditate using a gem stone which is the same color as the chakra they are working on which allows them to get a clear image in their mind as to what needs to be done to make it healthier.

Recently it has become possible to just listen to the individual chakra sound frequencies. By listening to the particular frequency of each chakra your own chakras resonates at this frequency and become completely balanced.

Conversely, the Hindu idea of life has kept alive the practice of spiritual-healing despite the developments in science and technology.

Our body actually consists of seven primary and thousands of secondary Chakras. The word Chakra, is a Sanskrit word meaning Wheel of Light, and according to the theory, these Chakras rotate and vibrate continuously in a healthy human body.

As a result, an imbalance in the vibration of these chakras results in a corresponding imbalance of the healthy functioning of the body. So, Chakra Balancing needs to be done to ensure a healthy body, mind, and soul.

Chakras are Entrance Gates of the Aura and the central points that obtains, incorporates and conveys life-force energy. Situated along the central line of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head the seven main Chakras take and transmit energies to and from the universe, nature, celestial bodies and other people.

What distorts Chakra Balancing?

If there is a blockage in one or more of the Chakras, the energy does not flow properly through them, and then ultimately the result will be an imbalance among the Chakras that result in problems in all areas of life.

The correct functioning of the Chakras can distort due to a number of factors, like bad health, stress, unbalanced diet, toxicity, not enough exercise, repressing emotions, untrue beliefs, detachment from a higher power, childhood traumas, cultural conditioning and emotional traumas, etc.

The Importance of Chakra balancing in Health and Happiness

It is very much a utopian idea that the Chakras function completely harmoniously. And so, human effort has always been to try and correct this distortion and strike a fine balance between these Chakras. The idea of self-healing is loosely based on Chakra balancing.

Our body shape, glandular procedures, constant physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior can easily be control by the Chakras. Chakra balancing ensures that these limitations are working to achieve a healthy body, mind, and soul.

The advantages of Chakra Balancing are:

* Complete happiness and peace in body

* Physical health with individual strength

* Awareness and constant feel with ones body

* Sexually content life without getting influenced by lust

* Knowledge of individuals feelings at the unearthly level

* Improved capacity to attract and express love in ones life

* Increased spiritual growth and maturity

* Spiritual healing through higher patterns of consciousness, awareness, and acceptance

* A compassionate and loving heart

* Wonderful confidence levels, but short of being over-confident

* Understanding of the True Self

How do you achieve Chakra Balancing?

Chakra balancing can be accomplished in many ways. You can use one or more of the following methods to successfully balance the Chakras.

* Healing Therapies, such as Reiki

* Yoga (with breathing exercises) and/or Meditation sessions

* Physical exercise

* Color & Light Therapy

* Crystals and Gems

* Balancing by using Hands and Pendulums.

* Aromatherapy

* Touch Therapy

* Optimistic outlook

* Sound frequencies/vibrations

* Hypnosis and Affirmations, etc.

Our body is a store house of energy, in which the used energy is disposed of by the body organs, and refilled, with a new supply of energy.

Chakra balancing ensures that this energy is gained and utilized by the body optimally, and all vital organs and body cells get their fair share of this energy.

In this condition of optimization, inner peace, happiness and general feeling of well being occurs. Chakra Balancing is merely bringing the Chakras back to their normal state of vibration and frequency.

Generally, the energy we refer to is the ability to perform physical tasks due to the strength we get from food but our body demands much more than that, we also receive a lot of inner energy that is necessary for us to develop resistance against tough situations and to take decisions, this inner energy is the resultant of the positive energy that the seven chakras receive from the various planets and satellites.

On most occasions people fail to understand the kind of effect the chakras in their body have on the attitude they wear as well as the kind of life they lead. A very popular theory states that a person with positive thoughts ends up achieving better results as compared to a person with a negative frame of mind. The reason is simple as positivity in thoughts is the result of the abundant positive energy in the chakra governing the thoughts.

Every single chakra has its role to play in the process of controlling and governing the functions of a particular part of the body but each of these chakras reflect variations in the effect they have on the organs.

The seven chakras that have a huge impact on our existence and on our actions can be further explained in details as follows.

The chakra that is placed at the bottom is the root chakra which helps regulating the actual personality and the character of the person. When positive the chakra helps the individual to enhance his/her ability to stand strong against the odds. Root chakra is said to control the large intestine, rectum as well as other digestive organs below the stomach.

Genital Chakra lies above the root chakra and is very important as it helps to control the organs that are important for excretory purposes. This chakra with positive energy could mean that a person is not distracted by luscious offers and can help to have a broad mind. With negativity it can lead to establishing negative vibes and feelings.

The third chakra is the Umbilical chakra, it helps a person to remain calm and stable mentally as well as helps bring out apt responsiveness to any kind of a situation that he/she faces. In case of this chakra imposing negativity the persons behaviour is not stable as he develops feelings of embarrassment and other unstable actions come along. The organs that this chakra regulates include the stomach and other organs which help in digestion.

The heart chakra deals with the emotions dealing with the heart, on the positive end it evokes love and compassion while on the negative side a person becomes arrogant and hypocrite. This circle of energy is related to the cardiovascular system of the human body.

Above the heart chakra is the fifth chakra referred to as the throat chakra, it controls the way we speak as well as what we speak. It helps to regulate critical organs including the mouth and the lungs.

The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra and it helps to pass judgements and perceive things. Positive energy here enhances vision, hearing and smelling powers.

The seventh and the final chakra is crown chakra which promotes the thirst for enlightenment.

In any act we perform it is important that both forms of our existence have the correct balance and can perform optimally. While food, air and water are the key elements for the survival and balanced growth of our physical body, the 7 chakras are considered to be responsible for the active functioning of our spiritual self and it is also important that we maintain the chakra balance.

The importance of the cleaning of the chakras cannot be neglected but equally important is the act of maintain the chakra balance which should be a following process, it is during the first act that the body sheds away the toxic or unwanted energy in return for positive vibrations that are believed to come from the cosmic bodies.

Only after each of the chakras is in a state of equilibrium and hence all the chakras put together form a balance in the human body, chakra balance is said to be achieved. It implies that the human body is free from any kind of problems or uncomfortable situation.

Since each of the chakras is said to affect an important organ in our body it is important to ensure that all of them are well balanced as living with even a little problem in important organs would be discomforting.

An important component of the chakra balance in our body is water, the association our body has with this liquid shares a big impact on the physical body as well as our chakras.

As soothing as the colors are for our eyes, certain colors can also be soothing to the chakras. They play a definitive role in helping maintain the chakra balance and their introduction into your life can drive away problems caused by the particular chakra with which the color is associated.

Meditation is a very effective way of relaxing your inner body, while you sleep your physical body is at rest and it recharges itself to maintain the balance of energy in real world however in order to maintain chakra balance it is important that your spiritual self is also relaxed and can focus and refresh itself, meditation plays a defining role in providing the adequate amount of required rest to the soul.

Every human experiences the energy exchange with the heavenly bodies while in sleep as the body tends to go into a phase of partial meditation, this is very important cosmic energy that is used to revive the chakra balance.

All of the above mentioned techniques are very important and equal is the importance of exercise in our daily routine as it helps us balance the chakras on a physical ground. It also helps to keep various body parts fit and hence avoids easy damage. You do not require to do hours of exercise in order to maintain chakra balance, keeping as little as 10-15 minutes of regular work out in your schedule is sufficient enough.

The food you eat also matters as many a times people turn out be obese or under nutrition and that leads to imbalance of the chakras and hence several body problems. Do not avoid meals but have smaller meals as skipping meals can also be dangerous.
