Cleansing Our Chakras
by Anne-Marie Laureaut
Since our chakras are directly influenced by everything around us such
as the technique to regular cleansing of our chakras logically follows
that we should take our environment into consideration as well. To
achieve balance and harmony, the physical, intellectual, emotional and
spiritual aspects of our being also needs cleansing in order to heal
our energy systems. This is necessary since all aspects of our
existence are interconnected and are necessary to function
harmoniously for healthy and vibrant living.
Following are some of the common chakra cleansing methods that have
been in use for thousands of years.
1. Smudging with certain herbs and plants like white sage can clear
certain types of negative energy obstacles in your energy points.
Simply go inside a room with the door and windows closed and burn some
white sage and let the smoke fill the room; remain in the room for a
few minutes.
2. Auric brushing with the hands or the aid of gemstones and crystals
is one of the highly effective chakra cleansing technique. Caution
must be taken however that the practice should only be performed by a
well-practiced individual since there is the possibility of serious
damage rather than successful healing due to the inherent powers of
the gemstones and crystals employed in the process.
3. A healthy lifestyle, drinking plenty of clean water, tea and fruit
juices, plus enough sleep and relaxation are highly recommended in
order to maintain strong energy systems.
4. Engaging in regular breathing and physical exercises is to your
advantage as it helps maintain the vitality and normal function of our
chakras.
5. Connect with the wonders and magic of nature. Learning to
appreciate the nature has a wonderful influence in the function of our
energy systems.
6. Color therapy is another effective chakra cleansing practice.
Colors, with their effects on individuals can successfully be used in
initiating chakra cleansing either by visualization or by looking at
the real color.
7. The power of music should never be underestimated nor set aside.
Music is an effective stimulant and chakra cleansing method that
balances the functions of our energy points.
8. Stimulating our mental power and engaging in worthwhile
intellectual pursuits are critical factors to maintain a healthy
chakra. The mind rests in the mental aura and this level of the aura
needs to be stimulated or it will slow down, accelerating the aging
process. We need to be learning, interested, and passionate about
something at all times in our lives.
9. Deep contemplation for a few minutes on a regular basis is enough
to allow us to realize and understand our thoughts and emotional
feelings. It is a vital way of chakra cleansing technique because it
makes us cognizant and receptive to everything around us.
10. Practicing love of self is also important as it teaches us
survival and self preservation. It also makes us more able to love
others.
11. Be aware of your emotions and express them to others responsibly.
Repressed thoughts and feelings create energy jams that block the flow
of energy and prevent good health.
12. Be creative in everything that you do even if it is not related to
the arts. Enjoy your tasks and perform them in a jovial manner and
they would not be a drudgery.
13. Coming to terms with our past lives and understanding its
significance can provide us a deep awareness of our purpose as a human
being.
14. Live a life anchored on the moral values of respect, trust,
decency, honesty and truthfulness. This will make you a more
constructive and reliable person that others would trust.
15. Prayer is a fundamental element of our health and energy systems.
It is a way to connect with a Higher Being who can help us attain
emotional balance and stability. Prayers can put our minds at ease and
interested to everything that surrounds us.
All the above methods of chakra cleansing are very important. However,
it takes practice and a realization of your love for yourself and
others before you can truly understand and use them for chakra
cleansing. It is not necessary to use them all at the same time but it
is recommended to start off with one or two or three and continue to
add methodologies over time. Chakra cleansing is not achieved
instantaneously, it is a constant and lifetime process (just like
chakras are continually in motion) in order to achieve and maintain a
healthy balance among all the elements involved.
