Why You NEED To Learn How To Unblock Your Chakras (Now!)

Chakras are the different energy centers of spinning wheels throughout the body and aura. These energy points provide vital life force flow. 

Lack of joy can really affect not only one’s chakras, but one’s overall quality of life.

Joy and love are the highest vibratory emotions that one can have.

Blockages in one or more chakras usually means that there’s a lack of joy flowing.

Here is a look at how to unblock each of your chakras to reach your full happiness potential:

1. The root chakra is our connection to Earth.

The term “grounded” usually refers to one being fully present in their body. The more joy one has in their life, the more they will want to be in their body.

Associated Color: Bright Red.

Associated Joy Exercise: Try a Zumba or an African Drumming Dance class. Get those legs moving! Feel your feet hitting the pavement. Even try doing the mini trampoline while listening to upbeat music.

Associated Flower: You can gaze at a photo of or purchase the Mandevilla. The Mandevilla helps one to feel comfortable in their own skin and encourages one to feel empowered. Archangel Michael, the protector angel, works through this healing flower.

Associated Crystal: Garnet can be used to help one manifest Earthly needs. Garnet can also help to heal any blood disorders. Clear your crystals before you use them! Hold Garnet in your left hand, which is the receptive/feminine side of the body, and repeat, “I am safe, secure, provided for, and whole in all ways right now. Mother Earth supports me.” Imagine all darkness and fear being lifted from your Root Chakra and aura.

2. The sacral chakra is associated with desires, creativity, money, power, and sex.

This chakra is all about pleasure seeking, which is why when unbalanced it can lead to addictions.

Associated Color: Bright Orange.

Associated Joy Exercise: Listen to peaceful music and heal by using watercolors. Let your paintbrush go. This creation can be just for you. Draw. Create art. Sacred Sex with the right partner — or even by yourself — can get this chakra spinning at the right speed.

The way that you feel about yourself influences every aspect of your life. You are Divine.

4. The heart chakra is where we give and receive Unconditional Love.

Think with your heart and not with your head. The thymus, immune gland, is located in this chakra. When joy is highly present in this chakra, there’s no vibratory match even for the common cold to occur.

Most likely, if you have been stuffing down your thoughts and feelings then this chakra might be blocked.
