Cleansing Our Chakras For Life Changing Results!
Posted on March 10th, 2010 by Jane Wickham
Our physical, spiritual and mental health are closely intertwined. Our chakras are an important part of our being and are essential to our good health and like the rest of us; they are affected by external factors, whether environmental or spiritual. To stay in good health, you need to take care of all of you – chakra cleansing is an important part of caring for yourself. When your chakras are working properly, you?ll have the ideal energy flow through your body and your entire being will benefit.
Body, spirit and mind need to be in harmony with each other and chakra cleansing can keep these elements in balance; like getting regular exercise, it?s just another part of living a healthy lifestyle.
These are some of the chakra cleansing techniques which have been used for millennia:
*Smudging: Smudging involves letting herbs smolder; their smoke can eliminate the negative energy which prevents the flow of energy through your chakras. White sage is one of the best ? burn some of this herb in a room after closing the doors and windows so that the smoke fills the room; you?ll need to be in the room for a few minutes to get the chakra cleansing benefits of smudging.
*Auric brushing: Using crystals and gems can clear blockages from our chakras, but this should be done by an experienced professional, since it can produce deleterious results if done improperly.
*Get a healthy diet, drink lots of water and juice and get adequate sleep. Your chakras will stay in better shape if you keep your physical body healthy.
*Regular exercise and proper breathing helps to keep your chakras working properly.
*Make time to experience the natural world. Spending time outdoors can do wonders for your chakras. Even if you live in a large city, spend some time with the plants and wildlife in a larger park or even your own backyard.
*Color therapy: Each of your chakras has a corresponding color and can be stimulated and cleansed of negative energy by visualizing these colors or by looking at them.
*As Albert Ayler once said, ‘Music is the healing force of the universe’. Music can help in chakra cleansing, activate your chakras and stimulate the endocrine system to function better.
*Keep your mind sharp: Try to keep learning new things and give your mind some exercise too! This keeps your chakras active as well and less prone to being blocked by negative energies.
*Make a little time every day to meditate and reflect on your day. This gives you perspective and is a very effective method of chakra cleansing.
*Love yourself: Before you can give or accept love, you need to love yourself. Love is a powerful emotion which has a positive effect on your chakras.
*Be in touch with your emotions: When you can’t accept or process your emotions you’ll be incapable of effectively expressing how you feel to other people; and repressing your emotions will lead to a negative energy buildup which can keep your chakras from sending energy through your being.
*Use your creativity. When you allow your creativity to have a place in your daily life, you keep your energy flowing properly and will start enjoying your life more.
*Past lives: You need to be open to your past lives, especially to the opportunity to learn about yourself through them. The self awareness and sense of purpose this can give you will make all of your other chakra cleansing techniques more effective.
*Be the change you want to see in the world: Live your life in accordance with the principles of honesty, respect and trust.
*Prayer: Like meditation, prayer can quiet your mind and the more quiet you become, the more you can hear; this can open your mind and keep your chakras in balance.
These are all methods of chakra cleansing which should be incorporated into your life. You may not experience instant results with chakra cleansing, but if you make these methods a regular part of your day, you’ll soon see increased health, self awareness and happiness through chakra cleansing.
