There are several healing methods which can help you balance and heal your Chakra System, which are the energy fields located within and surrounding our body. It is important to make sure that they are open and in balance, as this will give us a feeling of harmony and peace. But if any of these chakras are closed or blocked, it will cause energy imbalances which may create several types of problems.
Each chakra center corresponds to a specific area of the body and is also associated with certain characteristics. If a chakra is closed, it may indicate that you are holding back or having difficulties in that specific area of life to which that chakra corresponds. For instance if your heart chakra needs healing, it could be that you’re not allowing yourself to feel or receive love from others. You can heal these energy centers through certain chakra meditations and visualization techniques. Restoring balance in the chakra system helps to create well-being in one’s physical, emotional and mental being, as well as more harmony in one’s life. When you heal a particular chakra that is in need of clearing, it will also help to clear any issues associated with that particular energy center.
