What are Chakras, and why are they important? And how to keep them in balance.

What are Chakras?  You have probably heard of Chakras before, but do you know what they are and how they work?  They are energy centres within our body connecting the physical, mental and spiritual aspects together.  They are like small vortexes or spinning discs all with different colours and are associated with different parts of the physical, spiritual and emotional body.​

The seven main Chakras, starting from the “Root” Chakra which is situated at the base of the spine and moving in a straight line up through the body to the crown of your head, to the seventh Chakra the “Crown” Chakra.  Contained in each Chakra is “Prana”.  Prana is pure healing energy, or if you  like, the energy of the universe, pure universal energy, this energy keeps us healthy in mind, body and spirit.  When our Chakras are blocked it can cause both physical, emotional and spiritual issues and upsets.

​Blocked Chakras can lead to all sorts of different problems and re balancing these Chakras can bring back balance in health, emotional stability and bring us closer to our spiritual selves. 

1. The Root Chakra – This is the first Chakra and is located at the base of the spine. The colour associated with the “Root” Chakra is red. It is responsible for our feelings of security and survival, so connects us to worrying about our basic needs such as food, shelter and safety. and for your emotional need it is all about letting things go, feeling safe, and stability.  When this Chakra is blocked we can start to feel anxious, panicky, suffer from fears and nightmares.  In the physical body it can affect the colon, the bladder, the bowels and also lower back leg or feet issues.​

2. The Sacral Chakra – This Chakra is located between the pubic bone and the belly button.  This Chakra is associated with the colour Orange.  It is all about sexual energies, passion, abundance success, wellness and joy, however if this Chakra becomes blocked you will feel unmotivated or uninspired, suffer emotional instability, depression and addiction.   Physically this can lead to sexual dysfunction, overeating, drug or alcohol abuse, low energy, allergies and low self esteem.  Constiptation, back pain, urinary and kidney infection, impotence.

These  main Chakras are important to our overall health and wellbeing of the physical, mental and spiritual being.  when your Chakras are closed, blocked or unbalanced, this canhave an impact on not only your psychical health but also your mental and emotional state too.  When all our seven main Chakras are open and balanced and working in harmony,  we have more vitality and benefit from greater health physically, emotionally and spiritually.

A simple and effective excercie to do to balance your chakras is to lie down on a bed or sofa and put on some meditation music at a low level, then close your eyes and focus on your breathing, breathing in your nose for a count of four then holding for four then breathing out of your mouth for a count of six.  Let your mind be still and try to only concentrate on your breath and do a body scan, checking that your whole body is relaxed.  Once you feel relaxed, starting with the root Chakra, visualise this Chakra as a spinning disc or ball red in colour, when you breath in, breath in the colour red and breath it all the way down to your root Chakra, now visualise this spinning disc or ball becoming brighter and bigger and still spinning.  Once you have done this then move on to the next Chakra, the Sacral Chakra and repeat the same process but breath in the colour Orange, do this visulsation for each of your Chakras using the corresponding colour and finish with the crown Chakra.  When you are done just relax and breath normally for a while and become aware of your surroundings again, open you eyes when you feel ready and just take it easy when you get up.  You may not feel the benefits immediately but repeating this exercise twice weekly will certainly help you to keep your Chakras balanced and open and working in harmony and you should start to feel the benefits.  Just a little warning, some people may have what is known as a healing crisis, this is where your symptoms actually worsen for a few days and you may feel a bit down, this is completely normal and it just means that your body is working on repairing itself, just be sure to keep yourself hydrated and grounded.  Although this is a great excercie to do, please seek medical attention for any illness or injury you may have as this exercise does not replace medical treatment.

Love and blessings

There is no magic formula to manifesting, you don’t have to make vision boards or spend any money to be able manifest things into your life, and you certainly do not have to do any rituals or write your desires down 50 times a day.

All you need are these basic tools and you will learn to manifest things into your life. The key thing is not get caught up in how big a thing you are trying to manifest, there is no difference trying to manifest £100 or £1000. Your brain just tells you it’s harder because that is how the logical brain works. It is super important to have self-love to be able to manifest (I will cover that in another post)

Ok so let’s say you want to manifest a new job. Really think about the specifics, the type of job you want, the people you want to work with, the feeling of being in that job that you love, visualize it in as much detail as you can and be really specific.

After you have this done call upon the universe and set your intention that you want to manifest this dream job into your life, set the intention, thank the universe. Then just let it go. Don’t keep concentrating on it day after day as the more we tightly grip onto something the less the universe will work with us. Just let it go and believe 100% that this dream job will come to you at the right time. Don’t expect things to happen overnight, it does take time.

Once you have set your intention, let it go. Spend some time daily doing something to top up your self love bank, this helps raise your vibration, keeping your vibration high is super important to manifesting. Pay attention to your thoughts, “what we think becomes our reality” so if you think negatively the you will attract negative things because you are basically asking the universe for it and the universe will provide what you ask for. So if a negative thought pops into your head, replace it with a positive thought or affirmation, a good fun way of doing this is to notice the negative thought then sing in your head a line from a song with the word “stop” in it for example “stop in the name of love” or “stop right there thank you very much” this not only stops the negative thought but the tune in your head raises your vibration and gives you a bit of time to think of a positive affirmation or thought.

Affirmations are important to manifesting but you don’t need to write them out 50 times a day. When saying affirmations make sure you are attracting the right thing, for example stating you want to be debt free will actually attract more debt because the focus is on you being in debt, so rather state “there is always enough money” or I have more than enough money” never put a negative in an affirmation.

Gratitude. Every day before bed I find at least three things that I am grateful for that have happened that day, even if nothing has happened and even if you really think there is nothing to be grateful for you can always find something such as “ I am happy and grateful that I had food today” or “I am happy and grateful to be alive” then after you have done your gratitude’s add the thing you are trying to manifest into your gratitude list but say it like you already have it, so for example with the job “ I am happy and grateful that I have my dream job and it gives me great satisfaction”. While saying it try and feel what it would be like to actually have it. This helps to raise your vibration and also send a message to the universe that you are open to receiving.

So those are the real basics of manifesting. So why not try and see if the universe is listening to you and set your intention to the universe that you want to see a pink flamingo. Set the intention and let it go and believe 100% you will see a pink flamingo and within a couple of days you will start to see pink flamingoes, either on tv, on a poster, as a pattern on wallpaper or a number of other things, but you will see it and this will help you to have trust in the universe, start small at first and don’t expect things to happen straight away, just believe 100% it will happen and openly state that you are open to receiving, and of course thank the universe. Keep your vibrations high by smiling, listening to music, doing anything that uplifts you.

What are you waiting for!!! Go get your pink flamingo or that new car you have dreamt about!!! It is only our brains that limit what we can manifest, it really is just as easy to manifest that car as the pink flamingo, you just need to have Faith!!
