The 7 chakra centers are spiritual energy centers that are connected to areas of the physical body. In Sanskrit the word chakra means “wheel”. You can think of chakras as wheels of energy. They are constantly moving in a circular motion.

Keeping your chakras balanced and open is the key to feeling healthy, vibrant and energetic. When your chakras are balanced, your energy is vibrating at a very high frequency which allows you to attract opportunities and magnetize your success more easily. The chakras are little understood.

Knowledge is power! It’s time for you to learn what the chakra centers represent so you can begin to heal them.

These are the 7 chakra centers.

So here are 3 key ways you can balance and open your chakras: 

Be positive in your words and actions. 

It is negative feelings, thoughts and attitudes that causes your chakra centers to be blocked. In order to heal and balance your chakras, become aware of what negative attitudes you are holding consciously or unconsciously and shift your thoughts back to positive.

For example, if you have feelings of not being good enough, criticizing yourself and not accepting yourself; you are blocking the energy in the Acceptance chakra. You need to replace these unhealthy attitudes with more healthy ones in order to open and balance the chakra.

Some positive attitudes would be, “I completely love and accept myself.” or “I am perfect for what I came to do.” When you practice these new beliefs and truly believe them, they will become a part of you. Then, your Acceptance chakra center will be open and balanced.

Balance your Inflow and Outflow of Energy 

Energy “inflows” through the Pineal gland and “outflows” through the Pituitary gland. Inflow is all that you receive and learn whether it be from reading a book, attending a lecture, talking with others etc.

Outflow is organizing what you have learned and sharing it with others. You can outflow in the form of talking with a friend, sharing in a class, writing a letter or article, posting on your blog etc

Problems occur if you do not have an equal level of inflow and outflow.

If you have more inflow than outflow you will experience a feeling of nervous energy.  If you have more outflow than inflow you may feel drained of energy.

A couple of years ago I felt pretty drained of energy. I was fully booked with coaching appointments and talking to a lot of people at events, in my ezine, on the phone and in person. I felt “spent.” I was getting more outflow than inflow and I knew that I needed to balance that and have some “me time.” Every year now, I dedicate this time at the International Regrouping to my own spiritual growth. This way. I get the inflow I need to feel balanced and come back to work with my clients again.
