The chakras are immeasurable energy points (which is impossible to measure with an instrument) that align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through the crown of the head.
Chakra It is a word from the Sanskrit language of India, which means “disk” or “circle”, and according to Hindu beliefs there are six, but according to beliefs developed in the last two centuries, there are seven. Each chakra represents our being at different levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
The seven chakras are (from bottom to top) the root (red), spleen (orange), solar plexus (yellow), heart (green), throat (blue), eyebrow (indigo), and crown (purple).
There are many exercises to balance your energies. Here’s a very quick and easy one that you can practice daily to align them correctly.
Start on the first chakra (pelvic area) and repeat in each chakra, until you reach the seventh (at the crown). Place your hand about 2-3 centimeters from the body and without touching:
- Turn your hand counterclockwise (counterclockwise: go up on the left and down on the right) forming a circle about 20 centimeters in diameter
- Turn your hand in this direction for about 2-3 minutes
- Shake your hand vigorously, with the intention of releasing energy
- Begin to turn your hand clockwise (clockwise: go up to the right and down to the left), making movements that have the same diameter, and for no less time than counterclockwise
- Repeat this sequence for each of the seven chakras.
You must turn your hand in an anti-clockwise direction so that it acts as a vacuum cleaner that eliminates everything that does not serve us in that chakra. Turning your hand clockwise helps us activate that chakra. So by turning counterclockwise first and clockwise later we make sure to cleanse and then activate each chakra.
By doing this daily for a few days in a row, your chakras will align properly and your energy will stay balanced. If you dedicate yourself to making it a habit, you will definitely notice the difference.
