Know More About the Various Tools of Chakra Balancing
According to the ancient Hindus, chakras are the human body’s main
energy centers; they are acknowledged as an essential part of our life
force which help keep our mind and body functioning together
harmoniously in top-notch condition. Although not physically visible,
chakras are associated with our body’s major endocrinal glands (which
are visible).
Chakras are responsible for regulating the energy that flow into and
from our body. This continuous interplay of energy within our body,
the environment and objects we come in contact with ultimately
requires that our chakras remain in balance in order to be able to
function as best as possible for our benefit.
Each of the seven major chakras have their own corresponding functions
related to a particular endocrine gland in our body. They are
responsible for every sensation, awareness, feeling, sensory and
emotional experience we go through as an individual whether positive
or negative.
Physical, emotional and mental stress can cause imbalance in the
function of our chakras and when this occurs we feel lethargic or show
signs of physical illnesses – a manifestation that there is something
not right about how our chakra functions.
For our body to reap the benefits of a well-tuned chakric system, they
need to be functioning in harmony with one another. Chakra balance is
essential to maintain its beneficial function to the human body and to
achieve this, regular chakra balancing is necessary much like a car’s
preventive maintenance procedures.
Importance of Chakra Balancing
Many methodologies exist in balancing our chakras and others are
continually being explored and developed as the attainment of a
perfectly balanced chakra system is the ultimate goal of people who
want to enjoy a more fruitful, productive and healthy lifestyle.
For starters, you have to understand that each individual chakra has
its own frequency vibration that corresponds to naturally-occurring
frequencies that are present in the environment. It is through these
unique frequencies that each individual chakra receives and/or
transmits energy – referred to as chi, qi, or prana.
During periods of illnesses, our chakras are still functioning but may
be out of synch which can hamper the free flow of energy to further
aggravate our physical and/or mental and emotional illness. Other
contributory factors to the malfunction of our chakra system are undue
stress or the inability to cope, suppressed emotions, unhealthy food
intake, and lack of exercise.
Though they may be out of synch and not function at their best from
time to time, their balance can be restored.
Tools of Chakra Balancing
The most common tools used to restore the balance of chakras are color,
crystals and gems, light, sound and aroma therapy.
Colors: Commonly used colors and their corresponding chakras are red
(root chakra), orange (sacral chakra), yellow (solar plexus chakra),
green and turquoise (heart chakra), blue (throat chakra), violet
(crown chakra) and white for all chakras.
Crystals and Gems: Going back thousands of years, the laying of
crystals, gems and stones on the body where the chakra points are is
another method of regaining balance of the chakra system. Considering
that each chakra resonates to a particular color it follows that by
laying a stone of the same color to which the chakra resonates on the
area of the chakra, they will also be able to achieve the necessary
balance for the physical body to be able to heal.
And because crystals and gems reflect light which results in various
colors, the resulting play of light and color into the body through
the chakra points also result in the balance of the chakra system.
Light: The use of light therapy employs light on the eyes, acupuncture
meridian points, and the body’s reflex zones to deliver the correct
frequency to restore health. Since light emits detectable and
invisible light frequencies at the same time, they also have the same
specific frequency and resonance required by the body’s chakra system.
Due to the wide spectrum of light, they are considered as more
effective in achieving the necessary balance of the body’s chakras
system.
Sound: The use of tuning forks, soft music, quartz crystal, Tibetan
bowls, and other objects to generate an agreeable resonance is also
utilized to achieve a healthier well-being. Sound has natural
vibration and resonance therapeutic effect because it affects us
emotionally. Beautiful and melodious sounds can induce serenity and
calm whereas chaotic sounds produce dissension and discord. Sound can
be used to achieve a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in order to better
faster healing and achieve higher levels of consciousness.
Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is the use of scented candles, fragrant
massage oils and bath soaps in order to capitalize on the healing
properties and physiological effects of the chemical ingredients of
plants’ essential oils that make up the base product. Essential oils
are able to clean, set free and restore an individual’s stability of
thoughts and emotions because they can affect a person’s mental,
emotion and spiritual aspects. Aroma therapy is generally employed to
relieve stress, promote physical and mental relaxation, combat fatigue
and depression and as an aid to meditation.
