Chakra Healing & Balance

What Are Chakras?

You have seven chakras. Chakras are energy centers in your body. When they are blocked, they can create emotional imbalances, stress, and even physical discomfort. The good news? You can clear and strengthen your chakras with different methods to restore balance.

What works for one person may not work for another. It also depends on each person and how blocked the chakra is to how long it will take for the effect of the method chosen.

6 Powerful Methods to Unblock Your Chakras

1. Crystals:

• Place cleansed and charged crystals on or near your chakras.

• Carry them with you or wear them as jewelry.

• Root Chakra Tip: Tape a crystal to the bottom of your chair for grounding.

2. Essential Oils:

• Use pure essential oils topically (if safe for skin) or diffuse them.

• Place oils near the corresponding chakra.
