Many of us do not realise the importance of a healthy chakra system and just how much it can help or hinder your physical and emotional health. When you consider the structure of your makeup you can look at the chakra system as being the core of your existence, in saying this it is easier to then imagine how if your basic chakra energy system is not functioning effectively the rest of you then suffers.
If you have only just jumped in on part 4 of this series I invite you to pop over to my web page and under the 'Blog' tab you will discover part 1, 2 and 3 taking you through what you will experience when they are blocked and then last week was looking at what you can do to unblock and work with the chakras individually.
What are the best ways open your chakras?
We are going to go through a a series of different ways to activate and help your chakras function more effectively. None of them are difficult and often it just takes an open mind to think, fair enough, I can do that ... and for your own good with the goal of clarity, peace of mind, contentment and balance just give it a shot. Most of what we will look at in the following text is how colour association can help the chakras, also positive affirmations. When working with positive affirmations you can pin them up on your walls where you will see them often, in the fronts of books, perhaps on the screensaver of your phone. Others may work better with using affirmations that are tied in with music, that imprint your mind through an upbeat tune as you read through them. You can find a lot of this on youtube.
The chakras we will be looking at today are:
The Heart chakra - located at in the center of your chest and when open and balanced you will feel calm, love, optimism and a warm-heartedness for all that is and will be in the world around you. Emotionally you feel stable and able to cope with the impact and fluctuations of personalities around you.
The Throat chakra - located in the hollow of your throat and when opened and balanced you feel a belief in who you are and your core values and are inspired to speak your own truth. You will have an internal confidence in crowds to be your true self and not allow others to manipulate and second guess you.
The Third Eye chakra - located in the middle of your forehead and when open and balanced you are able to work with integrity, being honest to yourself, inspiring those around you as you reside in a truthfulness that comes from accessing that intuitive inner knowing.
The Crown chakra - located at the top of the head and when open and balanced you experience a feeling of great gratitude and joy, yet a humbleness that leaves you residing in a place that you just resonate above the dramas of all that goes on physically around you.

I want to emphasize yet again just how important it is to recognize and work with your chakras, your energy system. This is a constant with the ordeals of daily life bringing us new challenges and energies to take on and deal with. Next week we take a look at exactly what your chakra energy consists of and where does that energy come from.
I would also like to offer to those interested, a low cost service I provide to completely unblock and balance your chakra and energy system, raising your vibration and leaving you feeling good. I highly recommend if you have never experienced this that you should give it a go!
Have a great week and I hope you have all learnt something new here today!
