Every part of us is interdependent: our bodies, minds and spirits are all an important part of our overall health. Our chakras are part of our bodies, even though we cannot see them and they are just as subject to physical, environmental and spiritual influences as the rest of us. Chakra cleansing can help you to stay in optimal health by keeping our chakras properly balanced and maintaining the efficient flow of energy.
Our mind, spirit and body all work together in harmony, so chakra cleansing is important to your health, just like regular exercise and eating right.
These are some of the chakra cleansing techniques which have been used for millennia:
*Smudging with certain herbs and other plants, especially white sage can help by clearing away blockages in your chakras caused by negative energies. Burn some white sage in a closed room for a few minutes, allowing the smoke to fill the room.
*Auric brushing: Crystals and gems can be used to heal and cleanse chakras, but should only be done by a trained professional as if not done the right way, this technique can cause damage.
*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.
*Your chakras will remain clearer if you get regular exercise and practice breathing techniques.
*Nature: Spending some time in nature can be an effective method of chakra cleansing. Get out into the countryside and observe the plants and animals even if you live in a city, you can do this at a park; the important thing is to make some time to experience the natural world.
*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.
*Music: Music is one of the most effective methods of chakra cleansing. Music stimulates and activates your chakras and along with them, your endocrine system.
*Keep your mind active: When you continue to learn and grow intellectually, you are keeping your energy centers (the chakras) active.
*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: To get the full benefits of chakra cleansing, you have to be open to learning from the lessons of your past lives. You can gain insight into yourself which will facilitate the process of chakra cleansing.
*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.
All of these chakra cleansing techniques can work for you and should be practiced regularly. It may not happen overnight, but when you keep up using these chakra cleansing methods, you’ll start to see the benefits and have a higher quality of life.
