Chakra Balancing
Hey love,
Have you ever wondered how to balance your chakras or why you should even balance them to begin with? In this love letter I am going to teach you a few ways to balance them and why you should. Alignment is a powerful place to be energetically, so let’s get into it.
Chakras
Chakras are energy centers in the body. Most people refer to the major seven when they speak about these energy centers. There are many more, but for this post, we too will focus on the seven major chakras. These chakras run up from the base of the spine up to the top of the head. Each chakra has its own specific characteristics and can reveal information about you energetically.
As a Reiki master, I scan the chakras to offer feedback to a client about what is going on with them energetically. But you do not need to know anything about Reiki to address your own chakras.
Imbalance
Sometimes chakras are misaligned and you may intuitively know this. You may just feel off. This is a time to go inward and connect to how you’re feeling physically, emotionally, and energetically. For example if you “feel it in your gut”, this would be your navel chakra. This chakra is tied to self identity, self-esteem, your concept of self.
Another example is feeling “a frog in your throat”. Your throat chakra reflects communication and speaking your truth so this may manifest in the throat. See, you may already be more in tune with what is going on with your chakras than you realized.
If and when you feel your chakras are not in balance, you can align them yourself. It’s important to keep in mind that they are offering you a message. Coming into alignment will come naturally when you are true to yourself. By knowing yourself, you will recognize when you feel out of balance.
How to bring chakras into balance
There are countless ways to align your chakras. Here are some:
Reiki or any energy work
meditation
yoga
intention
breathwork
visualization
hypnosis
You may even bring them into alignment by acting upon your intuition. Say for example you have a heaviness in your heart and you have been fighting with a loved one. If you come to peace with the situation (however that may be), your heart chakra will open and begin to flow your life force energy freely. Our bodies speak to us all the time and our chakras come into and out of balance often. Being mindful of this, you can start to be in balance more often than not.
DIY chakra balancing imagery
Create a sacred space where you can completely let go and focus on yourself for this process. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths into your heart center. These should be long slow breaths with the exhale longer than the inhale. As you being to let you body deeply relax, imagine a white light surrounding you. This healing light enters the top of your head (crown chakra). Notice it, allow it, connect with it.
Now imagine the light turns a violet color, once it reaches your skin and flows down through the top of your head. It is making its way down to your forehead, the space between and just above your brows (third eye chakra). Here it flows out as an indigo color. Again notice it and connect with it. Allow it to make its way down to the center of your throat (throat chakra) where it turns blue. For each chakra notice and connect deeply and for as long as you feel called to. The light then makes its way down to the center of your chest (heart chakra) where it will turn green or pink.
From here it travels down the your bellybutton (the navel or solar plexus chakra) where it turns yellow. The light then travels down to the sacral chakra (space just below the bellybutton) and it turns orange. Finally, the light continues down to the lowest chakra (the root chakra), at the base of the spine. This chakra is at the pelvic floor and connects you to the Earth. Feel yourself being grounded when the light gets here. Now envision the light turning back into white and traveling down into the center of the Earth.
Allow the energy of Mother Earth to travel up through this cord and nourish you. Allow this energy to recalibrate your chakras. Surrender to the wisdom of this experience.
Play with this and allow. You can have the light flowing like a waterfall or rays of the sun. You will find yourself spending less time with the balanced chakras and more time with the ones you need. Trust this.
Blocked chakras
The terms closed or blocked chakras are used by many healers in the spiritual community. My experience has been that blocked chakras are not 100% closed or completely blocked off. I don’t believe a person can be alive and be completely cut off at an energy center. Your beliefs shape your reality, so for some people they may believe this to be true, but after 20+ years of working with energy and my intuitive nudge says otherwise.
I know a lot of healers use these terms and they are buzz keywords, but energy flows, as do our emotions. This is not to say the energy is flowing optimally, freely, or coherently. Our energy centers are in and out of balance throughout our lives.
When a chakra isn’t allowing the energy to flow, that is a sign it needs attention. That attention corresponds to something the person needs more or less of in their life. More honesty, self-care, compassion, connection to Source, etc. are needed to keep the chakra in balance. Less criticism, judgment, junk food, rushing, etc. are needed to regain alignment. Blocked chakras are physical manifestations of what your inner being is guiding you to.
Fastest and easiest way to balance your chakras
Ask Archangel Metatron to balance them for you. He is eager to offer his energy in this process. I have been working with him for years doing just this. Call on him and as all angels do, he will be right there to assist you lovingly and instantly. It really is that simple.
If that feels too easy and you want to “work for it”, do the white light visualization I offered above and invite Metatron in at the same time.
Final Thoughts
Imbalanced chakras are not something to stress over. They are reminders to reconnect and to be true to yourself. When you ignore your own intuition, your alignment will be off in your body. So listen to yourself and connect with your body. When you are in balance, your energy will flow freely and life will flow around you. What chakras do you need to bring into alignment?

P.S. If you want to try hypnosis, Reiki, or connect with your angels, past lives, spirit guides, in a healing session, I’d be honored to work with you 💕
