			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are seven energy centers in the human body which are located in a vertical straight line from the base of the spinal cord to the crown of ones head. Known as Reiki chakras, these are converging points of energy in individual&#8217;s subtle within and from these points energy is transmitted and received.</p>
<p>Anatomically speaking Reiki chakras are major nerve ganglia which originate from the spinal cord. Each of these is associated with a number of vital organs in a human&#8217;s body. Since a person&#8217;s physical and emotional well-being depends on the balance of the energy flow of these seven Reiki chakras, any blockage or misdirection results in minor or severe health issues.</p>
<p>The technique of Reiki in simple words may be termed palm healing. To control a blocked chakra or imbalanced energy flow, the Reiki master applies Reiki techniques on the sick person, so that the chakra is balanced or opened. The Reiki master receives infinite positive energy from the cosmos. He acts as a conduit and directs and channels this energy through his palms onto the sick person&#8217;s body. In this way he balances the overactive and under-active Reiki chakras.</p>
<p>There are seven Reiki chakras in an individual&#8217;s body, namely the base/root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and the crown of the head. Each of these chakras are connected with some vital organs of the body as well as psychologically linked to the mind and its emotions. The base or root chakra is located at the bottom of the pelvis, at the ultimate bone of the spinal cord. It is this chakra that connects the rectum, the large intestine, leg bones spine, kidney and the adrenaline gland.</p>
<p>The next two Reiki chakras are the sacral and solar plexus chakras. The sacral chakra controls the reproductive system including the organs of testicles, ovaries, urinary bladder and spleen. Similarly the solar plexus chakra is connected to the metabolism of the human body. The pancreas, liver, gall bladder, stomach and the small intestine falls under its purview.</p>
<p>The fourth of the Reiki chakras is the central heart chakra in control of one&#8217;s heart and the entire circulatory system of the body. Hence, any blockage here affects the all important organ of the heart and is thereby linked to the arms, lower lungs, skin and the thymus gland. The throat chakra located at the base of one&#8217;s throat is directly linked to the thyroid gland and is thus responsible for the throat, upper lungs, jaw, as well as the vocal cords. Indirectly it may also affect the digestive system as well.</p>
<p>The last two Reiki chakras are essentially the third eye and the crown of the head chakras. The third eye is situated between the two eyebrows and is connected to the face, eyes nose and the all important pituitary gland and the brain of an individual. The crown of the head chakra on the other hand, though not linked to any physical organ is the centre of spiritual power and the core essence of an individual&#8217;s being</p>
<p>The Reiki chakras are not only important physically but are the sole reason behind a person&#8217;s emotional, psychological and spiritual well being as well. Starting with the base chakra which grounds a person&#8217;s existence, one by one the Reiki chakras stand for a person&#8217;s relations with others, personal power, his emotions mainly that of love through his heart chakra, his expression, communication and mental creativity through the throat chakra, thereafter his intuition, ability to meditate, visualize and manifest through the third eye and finally the attainment of eternal peace via spiritual wisdom at the crown of the head chakra.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The seven chakras placed vertically in our body from the base of the spine to the crown of the head are energy whorls or the energy meridians. Simply put, these are the receiving and transmitting centers of energy Thus, it is the state of these chakras which go on to determine one&#8217;s physical, mental, psychological and spiritual condition. Open chakras refer to those energy centers which are unblocked and balanced reflecting wholesome wellbeing for the individual.</p>
<p>To open chakra of Muladhar which is also known as the Base chakra the following process of meditation needs to be practiced. Meditation needs to be started by visualizing the symbol of this chakra which is a red lotus with four petals and placed at the base of the spine or to be more precise the region in between the anus and genitals. Now you need to join the tip of the index fingers and the thumbs of your hands and start saying the Sanskrit word &#8216;LAM&#8217;. But, do remember that the &#8216;a&#8217; in the word LAM needs to be pronounced as &#8216;aah&#8217; and &#8216;m&#8217; will be &#8216;mng&#8217; with slight vibration.</p>
<p>Open chakra of Swadhisthana or the Sacral Chakra by placing both your hands on your lap, keeping the right one on top of the left. Make sure that your palms are facing upward and the tips of both of your thumbs touch each other. Now strongly visualize the symbol of this chakra, that is an orange lotus with six petals at the sacral part of your body and meditate breathing deeply and using the Sanskrit sound &#8216;VAM&#8217;.</p>
<p>The third chakra, the Solar plexus chakra or the Manipura chakra is opened by visualizing the lotus which is yellow in color and has ten petals and located at the solar plexus region of the body. Here, join your hands by joining the tips of the fingers of the hands but you need to cross the thumbs one over another keeping all your fingers straight and pointing outwards. Now open chakra by gradual breathing and saying the word &#8216;RAM&#8217; which is in Sanskrit.</p>
<p>Now, to open the next chakra you need to believe in the supremacy of unconditional love and also forgiveness. This chakra is of the heart and is the central powerhouse of the Anahata chakra. To open chakra you need to sit crossing your legs on the ground and keeping the left hand on top of the left knee. Now, join the tip of the index finger and the thumb of your right hand and pointing it inwards place it on the area of the heart. Here, visualize the green lotus with twelve petals, in the heart region and meditate using the Sanskrit word &#8216;YAM&#8217;.</p>
<p>Fifthly, open chakra of your throat, or the Vishuddha by joining the tips of your thumbs and crossing all other fingers on the inside of your hand. Concentrate on the region at the base of your throat visualizing a blue 16 petalled lotus and use the ancient Sanskrit sound of &#8216;HAM&#8217; to open and balance this chakra of self expression.</p>
<p>Sixthly open chakra of the third eye, the spiritually most important chakra of Ajna located between your eyebrows. Bring both your hands in front of your chest or the lower part of your breast joining the tips of both your middle fingers pointing them upwards and bending all other fingers inside and downwards so that your index fingers are joined at your phalanges and thumbs are joined underneath at their tip pointing downwards. Concentrate on the two petalled indigo lotus at the centre of your forehead and chant the strongest sound of the universe &#8216;AUM&#8217;</p>
<p>Lastly open chakra Sahasrara reflecting attainment of the ultimate spiritual enlightenment by visualizing the vivid violet lotus with a thousand petals at the crown of the head region. Bring both your hands in front of your stomach and cross each fingers of one hand with those of the other keeping the left thumb over the right. Thereafter, raise your ring fingers joining the tips of both, pointing them upwards and use the Sanskrit sound &#8216;NG&#8217; letting it vibrate across your entire chakra system. Remember to open this chakra only after your base chakra is open and strong.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One must learn chakra balancing in order to balance the energy flow between the seven chakras of the human body and align it with the infinite energy source of the universe for the wholesome development in all aspects of his existence.</p>
<p>A red lotus with four petals is the image of the base or root chakra of Muladhar. Located at the base of the spine, this chakra can be balanced by breathing in the red colour till the base of your spine and visualizing the red energy ball at that place. Constantly affirm yourself that you have safety and security in this world and your monetary matters are well taken care of. Everyday exercises that target the lower back region like those of squats or using gem stones like red garnet, smoky quartz, and black obsidian are helpful in balancing the energy of this chakra.</p>
<p>The Swadhisthana or the sacral chakra is an orange lotus with six petals located in the sacral region of the body. Learn chakra balancing by visualizing energy in the colour orange at the area above your belly button. Moreover, exercises targeting the pelvis, using gems like carnelian orange or calcite tiger&#8217;s eye and constantly affirm to yourself that gifts like emotions, creativity or even sexuality are to be expressed.</p>
<p>Coming to the third chakra of Manipura, symbolized by a yellow lotus with ten petals, practice yoga which targets the area around the solar plexus. You can also use gems such as citrine topaz or golden calcite for balancing this energy. Visualize warm and bright sunshine yellow on top of the belly button moving to and fro in a clockwise direction and constantly affirm yourself that nobody or nothing else has power over you and you are the sole master of your own actions and boundaries.</p>
<p>The Anahata or the heart chakra is symbolized by a green lotus with twelve petals and the energy of this chakra can be balanced by meditating and visualizing the symbol at the center of one&#8217;s chest, breathing in the colour green and picturising it flowing in the center of your heart in a clockwise direction. Exercises such as swimming, pushups or everyday activities like hugging yourself is good for balancing this chakra. On the contrary, one might also use gem stones such as rose quartz, kunzite, watermelon tourmaline and jade.</p>
<p>The Vishuddha Chakra of a blue lotus with 16 petals located at the base of one&#8217;s throat requires one to breathe in the colour blue in his throat and visualize it moving in a clockwise direction. Activities like Singing or affirming yourself that you are able to communicate and express yourself clearly are important. Gems that can be used in this case are aquamarine, sodalite, etc.</p>
<p>The third eye chakra of Ajna is from where one&#8217;s spiritual journey starts. Symbolized by an indigo lotus having two petals, it is located between the eyebrows. Learn Chakra Balancing for this by trying to visualize the indigo lotus between the eyes and meditating, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, etc. and constantly affirm yourself that you trust your intuition and don&#8217;t let your ego get the better of you. In case of gems, lapis, blue fluorite, clear quartz can be used for balancing.</p>
<p>Learn Chakra Balancing for the Sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head by breathing in and visualizing the violet lotus with a thousand petals. Regular prayer and devotion helps to balance this chakra and stones like amethyst, Oregon opal or clear quartz can also be used for the purpose. Have a constant feeling of gratitude and thank the universe for what you have and what you will receive in future to balance the energy of this chakra.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The method of testing the seven energy centers of the body, evaluating whether they are open, over-active or under-active is called Chakra Test. Anatomically speaking, these seven chakras are major nerve ganglia which originates from the spinal chord. These are the energy whorls or points located in a vertical straight line starting from the base of the spine to the crown of the head where energy is received in and transmitted to.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reiki Chakra Balance refers to an act of healing or attainment of healthy physical and mental conditions through transmission of positive energy through the technique of Reiki in order to align or balance the energy centers in a man&#8217;s body. The word chakra, having its roots in the ancient Sanskrit word &#8216;chakram&#8217; of Hinduism meaning sphere, refers to the seven energy spheres or centers in a human body placed vertically from the crown of the head to the base of the spine.</p>
<p>Chakra balancing is all about realizing that a person&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Common Reiki techniques involve looking/staring, blowing, touching, tapping stroking or placing the palms flatly against specific positions or diseased part of the healee&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Starting from energizing physically with the warmth of the practitioner&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Thus, it can be seen that Reiki Chakra balancing is all about using one&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s body for the ultimate physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chakrology is a term introduced by practitioners of alternative medicine and New Age philosophers to describe the study of the chakra system, the human bodys energy processing centers identified almost four thousand years ago by the Ancient Hindus.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Our bodys energy centers play a very important role in our well being &#8221; both physically and spiritually.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The attainment of inner peace does not require any external force. There is a huge energy reservoir within our bodies that is sufficient to fulfill all our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. All that is required is to channel and balance the movement of seven primary energy centers, or chakras, in the body.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The main Chakras along with their description and associated colors are discussed below:</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There are energy-wheels known as chakras which line up along the central line of everyone.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are energy-wheels known as chakras which line up along the central line of everyone.</p>
<p>Certain mystical practitioners even believe the number of these wheels to be fourteen.</p>
<p>These begin at the base of the spine/genitals (root chakra) and extend right up to the top of the head (crown chakra).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Chakra one controls sexual health, physical strength and vitality</p>
<p>The second chakra commands our creative powers.</p>
<p>Chakra three is responsible for our will power and desires.</p>
<p>Chakra four at the heart commands our emotional energy that opens us up to giving and receiving love.</p>
<p>Chakra five manages the equation between our emotions and thoughts. It decides our communication powers and gives us personal magnetism.</p>
<p>Chakra six influences a person&#8217;s intuition, psychic powers and insights, also referred to as the sixth sense.</p>
<p>The seventh chakra connects us with our higher power and the rest of the universe.</p>
<p>When people feel they are connecting directly with God, they are focusing the energies of their seventh, purple-white, crown chakra.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you constantly think about dark things like working black magic against people, you&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Look at each chakra area by meditating and seeing how its aspects are manifesting in your life. You do this by visualizing your body&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this technology obsessed society we live in, most people have simply forgotten about the existence and importance of a spiritual being inside their physical being.</p>
<p>Conversely, the Hindu idea of life has kept alive the practice of spiritual-healing despite the developments in science and technology.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What distorts Chakra Balancing?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Importance of Chakra balancing in Health and Happiness</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The advantages of Chakra Balancing are:</p>
<p>* Complete happiness and peace in body</p>
<p>* Physical health with individual strength</p>
<p>* Awareness and constant feel with ones body</p>
<p>* Sexually content life without getting influenced by lust</p>
<p>* Knowledge of individuals feelings at the unearthly level</p>
<p>* Improved capacity to attract and express love in ones life</p>
<p>* Increased spiritual growth and maturity</p>
<p>* Spiritual healing through higher patterns of consciousness, awareness, and acceptance</p>
<p>* A compassionate and loving heart</p>
<p>* Wonderful confidence levels, but short of being over-confident</p>
<p>* Understanding of the True Self</p>
<p>How do you achieve Chakra Balancing?</p>
<p>Chakra balancing can be accomplished in many ways. You can use one or more of the following methods to successfully balance the Chakras.</p>
<p>* Healing Therapies, such as Reiki</p>
<p>* Yoga (with breathing exercises) and/or Meditation sessions</p>
<p>* Physical exercise</p>
<p>* Color &amp; Light Therapy</p>
<p>* Crystals and Gems</p>
<p>* Balancing by using Hands and Pendulums.</p>
<p>* Aromatherapy</p>
<p>* Touch Therapy</p>
<p>* Optimistic outlook</p>
<p>* Sound frequencies/vibrations</p>
<p>* Hypnosis and Affirmations, etc.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is surprising enough that every new dimension of human existence reveals a new secret and arouses newer aspects related to the successful existence of the human race. One such highly mysterious and quite unknown aspect that helps govern the human body and the human mind is the network of the seven chakras that are held in the human body as 7 circles of energy.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The seven chakras that have a huge impact on our existence and on our actions can be further explained in details as follows.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The seventh and the final chakra is crown chakra which promotes the thirst for enlightenment.</p>
