Chakra clearing and balancing is a great way to begin the spiritual journey. One of the vital aspects of spirituality is to feel free, calm and feel unconditional love. To achieve that we need to let go of the blockages and the past that hangs above us like a dark cloud. For the energy to travel through the channels in the body, the obstacles must be removed. This means totally letting go of karma to embrace the new and true version of yourself when you merge with your high self. Chakras provide the means to create a sense of balance in the body, spirit and mind that allows us to discern what it is that we truly desire from a higher perspective.
Being completely immersed in the material world, experiences, people who we interact with, diet, lifestyle and other reasons can create blockages in the body preventing the right flow of energy. If the blocks are not removed, the stagnant energy pool leads to imbalances in the chakras. The flow in the right direction ensures that the aura is protected from any external negativities, stagnant energies are dispersed, and health of the physical body is maintained. The right flow is like a constant wave moving through the body which can be felt when the chakras are aligned and vibrations are increased.
In Ayurveda, it is mentioned to allow ample amount of time for the chakras to open. Not everyone is the same. Some find it easier to open the chakras than others. It should never be forced as the sudden charge of power can damage the chakras. Using recreational drugs to activate the Kundalini is also not advised as it depends how each person’s body will handle it. Revitalizing the chakras would need far more effort than just activating it. Know that this journey is not a competitive one but a loving journey where we are able to go at our own pace and no one is better than the other. The ultimate success is to balance our material world with the spiritual to bring about a marriage that is harmonious, serene and abundant. It is to move away from stress to a more meaningful existence that provides you with a sense of contentment.
You can begin the process by just casually listening to chakra balancing music. Each chakra has its own frequency ranging from lowest to highest from Root chakra to Crown chakra. I used to listen to it while working or doing something. It doesn’t have to be strictly while striking the lotus position and meditating. The sounds affect our mind and body even when we are not paying attention or little attention because sounds taken in through the ears are processed by the brain and used by the body. Listening to guided meditations are also super helpful. I do that while lying down in bed. Once again, falling asleep or not paying attention at this stage is fine because you are trying to tune your chakras.
Doing this for a few days you will start to feel a difference such as feeling lighter, feeling calmer, body vibrating more than usual and buzzing sound in the ears. This shows that there is progress and the body’s vibrations are increasing and the energy is flowing, slowly opening and balancing the chakras. At this point, you can try to sit down and meditate and be able to sit without fidgeting as the mind and body are calmer. From this point onwards it is your journey to take and let the universe lead you to your life purpose.
The point of being spiritual is to allow who we really are to blossom and tread through life with confidence. It is not about resentfully attending religious institutions, performing rituals and saying prayers that makes you feel imprisoned. It is about opening your heart to be one with Mother Earth, our home, being one with our surrounding and one with the universe. It is about following whatever religion that resonates with you and rituals that makes you feel happy. It is about existing in our full worth and potential by doing our heart’s desire that would contribute to our joy as well as the joy of the rest of humanity. To create a beautiful world, we must begin vibrating to the frequencies of joy, happiness and love.
