Chakra Activation

The most powerful way to open, activate, energize, and balance all of our chakras is to keep our bodies, and our minds in a healthy condition. Learning to be our own best friend, being kind to ourselves and learning to love ourselves and others unconditionally. Though it may not appear a very scientific approach, LOVE truly is the greatest healer.

Love is vitalizing, and nourishing. The sustenance of life. When we begin to love, and accept ourselves, we are able to offer this love to others. Our minds, and our bodies become charged, and vitalized with this "electricity".

This may seem a difficult thing to achieve, but in actuality, it is possible if you believe. Once you believe, this belief sets into motion the desire within ourselves to move into this state of being. Then everything we think, and do begins to manifest this reality immediately!

Our entire body/mind system is a connecting link to all levels of universal consciousness. Each one of us is interconnected, a holographic part of 'All That Is'. As we open ourselves into greater expression of love, caring, wisdom, power, joy and other positive emotions, we give a wonderful gift to ourselves and to all of creation.

As one person becomes whole, humanity on a collective level is that much closer to wholeness. Other things you can do to awaken the chakras.......

• Yoga, and exercise charges and activates the chakras. There are certain types of yoga that are used specifically for activating chakras. We explore this and more in our yoga classes and workshops, and on our YogaBound travel adventures.
   

• Become aware of your breathing. "Conscious breathing" aligns the body, mind, and spirit!
   

• Use your imagination. It is one of the most valuable tools you possess for creating any reality you choose. Reality is what you dream it to be! We are regularly asked how we are able to do what we do; Travel the world, exploring the art of living, and doing yoga. First you dream it. Then you find a way to make it happen.
   

• Consciously expand your expression of unconditional love, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and creativity.
   

• Meditate, visualizing the corresponding color of the chakra saturating and balancing that part of your body. Do all seven chakras from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
   

• Live your life in alignment with honesty, and complete integrity. Also known as "The spontaneous right action'.
   

• Utilize the vibrational power of sound (singing, chanting, musical instruments). If chanting, use the beeja mantra of each chakra. If you begin at Muladhara the mantra would be LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, AUM.
   

• Eat fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich with the corresponding colors of the chakras.
   

• Put clear quartz crystals in your drinking water. They help restructure the crystalline properties of the water, and aid the activation, and acceleration of personal consciousness.
   

• Selfless service will aid the opening of the chakras in a natural and non-forceful manner.
   

• While lying down, place either the corresponding stone from the mineral kingdom, or a clear quartz crystal, on each of the chakra points on the body. By enhancing the positive flow of energy throughout one's body, and mind, this technique helps to bring up, recognize, and clear emotional blocks.
   

• Utilize the power of prayer, meditation, visualization, and affirmation.
   

• Fasting for short periods (under the supervision of a holistic doctor) is an excellent way for not only regenerating the body, but for also bringing about spiritual, and psychological insight and revelation.
   

• Relax in a comfortable position and begin to breathe. Imagine, and feel yourself inhaling, and exhaling through a given chakra point, moving up, and down each Chakra. This will charge that chakra, and the surrounding organs with vital life-force.

Convening with nature is good for the soul. Spend time outdoors, watch a sunset, or take a walk through the woods. Even sleep outside on the ground in a beautiful place, with your head facing north, to align with, and become charged by the Earth's electromagnetic field. There are places of power on the Earth that are considered to be the chakras of the planetary body.

We must all remember these things, and take personal responsibility to awaken ourselves, and others. Love is the source of all healing so begin by nurturing yourself.
