Chakras are power points of energy on the surface of our body, These points spin like vortexes, pulling the outer or ‘universal’ energies to our most inner points, in order to align, balance and ease the physical, metaphysical and mental systems in and around the body. With chakra meditation, you are actively participating with your whole body, exploring its layers on a healing level and witnessing the effects of thoughts and feelings.

Think of your chakras like a tool kit. You have to keep your tools sharp and on point to use them to their best ability. In life, when bad or negative events occur, working on these points regularly will allow you to draw quickly on the tool that’s most appropriate.

Chakra Meditation can help you activate your chakra centers and ensure the flow of energy throughout your body. Take your time with each and find which meditations best support your body’s needs.
