Sahaswara The Crown or 7th Chakra

Higher Consciousness. Higher Awareness.

This is what the Crown or 7th Chakra – Sahaswara governs. What does this mean? For some it is their connection to God. For others, it connects them to the Universe. For others, it connects them to a Higher Power or All. Whatever you might call it, it is the energy that links us to something greater than ourselves.

Where knowing can occur.

It is this connection, this energy centre, that can inform us with knowledge and wisdom that is greater than we can know ourselves. This 7th or Crown Chakra is connected strongly to our 6th or Third Eye Chakra, the seat of our intuition. Together, they allow us to access wisdom and guidance from a higher source.

Keeping it balanced is key.

When this 7th, Crown Chakra is balanced we are easily able to receive guidance in our everyday lives. We feel a sense of connectedness to others, the world at large and to something greater than ourselves that feeds us a sense of calm, peace and energy. When this Chakra is out-of-balance it can leave us feeling either cut off, depressed, isolated and alone (constricted) or overwhelmed by other people’s emotions with a weight or heaviness bearing down on you (expanded).

Meditate using AUM or by pouring white light into this Chakra to keep it balanced.

Physically, this Chakra is tied to your brain, pineal gland and sleep so when it is imbalanced it could leave you sleep deprived, suffering from headaches, neck tension or anxiety. It plays a big part in your mental and emotional health. So it is important to keep it healthy.

Third Eye or 6th Chakra

Your 6th Chakra is the Ajna or Third Eye Chakra. It is located between your eyebrows and gives a glorious and vibrant indigo or purple colour. It also resembles the image of an eye.

Have you noticed that you second guess your decisions or can’t even make them? 

This Chakra governs your inner intuition and higher self.  You will know this Chakra is out of balance in this area if you are having troubles with feeling confident in pursuing goals, making decisions, and finding your direction or journey in life.  It also holds the TRUST factor in all areas.

When it is in balance, your connection to trusting yourself will not be questioned.  You will be content with the choices you make and will see good in any outcome.  You will not be looking for reassurance in any areas of your life and you can trust yourself and others.

Trying to connect with your Spiritual Self? 

Another area the third eye chakra covers is connecting with the spiritual realm.  You will know if this chakra is out of balance if you are too much in your Head. You will also find that you may think and act on impulse.  You will have no real feelings or concern for any outcomes.  You may also only think in the now.  You may notice that you get headaches or foggy feelings on a regular basis if out of balance.

When in balance, you will enjoy each new day and what it has to offer.  Your outlook on life is positive even when you see obstacles.  You feel the love in everything and all around you.  You will have a better understanding of decisions and actions people make.  You will also trust your gut instincts without second guessing.  You will feel lighter, happy and have a positive outlook on life.

Have you been having health concerns with headaches, nervous system, pituitary gland, and sinuses?

You got it.  Your chakra may be out of balance if you are experiencing any of these issues related to this area. We tend to blame headaches and other issues on environmental change or too much work!!  But what’s the root cause?  The real question you need to ask, is your third eye chakra closed?

So how do I Balance this Chakra?

There are several ways you can restore balance to your third eye. You can meditate on it by using the meditation word SHAM. You can picture pouring light into it and cleansing it out. You can carry or meditate on a stone or crystal to restore balance. We suggest Fluorite for this Chakra as it is a particularly good for stabilising your energy and balancing and reconnecting you to your higher self.  It will help bring you the energy of confidence and trust as well as its an immune booster!!

You can also have an energy practitioner balance your Chakras for you.

Vishuddha Throat or 5th Chakra

Vishuddha. Trying saying that 5 times fast 😉

The Throat Chakra governs Expression and Communication. How is this area of your life?

Are you holding back from telling people in your life how you feel about them? Are you having trouble finding the right words that express your desires, needs and wants? Are you afraid to say anything because you believe unkind or angry words will come spewing out?

Or are you experiencing the opposite? You can’t seem to shut up? You try to explain yourself succinctly and the words just keep coming and coming and you still can’t make your point? You rush to fill silences with gossip or stories that have no relation to the situation at hand.

If you have answered “Yes” to any of these questions, your Throat Chakra is out of balance.

When you find yourself unable to express yourself, there is a constriction on your 5th Chakra. When you are running off at the mouth, as the expression goes, your Throat Chakra is in hyper-extension. You know the frustration that comes from either of these imbalances.

The ability to communicate well affects all aspects of your life – relationships, career, and health.

Of course you want to be able to communicate and express yourself to your best ability. Life flows much more smoothly when you do. Miscommunications and misunderstandings diminish. Your words flow freely and you are heard.

Kissing the Blarney Stone won’t help.

To bring balance back to your Throat or 5th Chakra, meditate on that spot (centre of your throat) using the meditation word HAM or by picturing a pure white light entering your Chakra, cleansing it and restoring it to balance. You can also combine these two methods during a meditation. If you enjoy using stones, Spirit suggested Sodalite to us for this Chakra as it treats the throat, vocal chords and larynx. This stone can be used in your meditation by holding it in your hand or placing it on your throat.

If you feel you aren’t having much success in balancing your Chakra for yourself, we provide a Chakra Balance unlike any other, as it is Spirit guided. To learn more about this service and our Chakra Stones, please visit our Chakra Balance page.

Heart or 4th Chakra

Do you feel you can give and receive love and kindness equally?  How much do you love yourself and others? 

Their qualities are all associated with your 4th chakra also known as your Heart /Anahata chakra.  It is located in the heart/centre area of your chest.  It is bright green in colour when balanced and is associated with your heart, lungs, mid-back and circulatory system.

How do I know if my Heart chakra is out of balance?

There are many ways to associate the physical elements and your heart chakra being out of balance.  A big one is how much do you love yourself?  Did you know that if you can’t accept and love yourself, you may find it hard to truly, fully love someone else?

Or do you have a hard time receiving from others but are always willing to give or vice-versa?  I’m sure just looking at that statement you can see the imbalance of it.  To have balance you need to be able to give and receive equally.  Now, this might not be the case to give and receive all at once.  But it eventually levels itself out.

You may also be feeling a lack of love from others, sad, hurt, betrayed or lonely.  These are also signs that your heart chakra may be out of balance.

What are some physical signs associated with the heart chakra?

Sometimes when we have physical hurdles they may be associated with an emotional attachment.  The heart chakra is associated with your mid-back, lungs, heart and circulatory system and it also influences the whole system and process of energy flow.  So when your health presents you with issues that connect to the heart chakra it may be due to an old attachment that you may be holding in your energy field on a subconscious level.

 

Bring Balance back and Move Your Life Forward.

Balance in the Heart Chakra really builds on connection, relationships, giving and receiving as it is the Chakra of Love. Using it’s meditation word YAM helps restore balance. Even the sound of it is powerful, no? Picturing a bright white, cleansing light entering it and cleansing it out and filling it up with emerald green will also help. Using a natural element like a stone to meditate on, sleep with/near, or carry around with you can also help. Spirit suggested Unakite to us as an aid for this Chakra because it is a great energy, healing and balancing properities.

If you feel you need more help in restoring balance to your 4th Chakra, an energy practitioner can also help you. We provide Chakra Balances led by our Spirit Guides who not only balance your Chakra energies but provide you insight as to why there might be an imbalance and how you can maintain balance in the future.

Solar Plexus or 3rd Chakra

What do Ambition, Creativity, Drive and Assertiveness have in common?

They are all governed by the Solar Plexus aka Manipura Chakra, the 3rd in your major 7 Chakra lineup. This Chakra is located in your solar plexus: the area between your sternum and navel. It is bright yellow in colour when balanced and on a physical level affects your solar plexus, gall bladder, stomach, liver, spleen and central nervous system.

How does Creativity fit in with these other attributes?

While it may seem that Creativity is the odd attribute out in relation to Ambition, Drive and Assertiveness, it really isn’t. Certainly, Creativity governs our creative nature in artistic pursuits such as music, drawing, painting, design, etc. However, it also applies to how we approach our relationships and careers where the other attributes seem like a given. For example, when this Chakra is balanced, we can find creative ways to solve challenges in our relationships and careers. Or find creative ways to expand our business endeavours. Conversely, Ambition, Drive and Assertiveness can enhance our creative efforts in terms of moving them forward and expressing them with conviction, either orally or through another medium such as sculpture, film or photographs.

How can you optimize these attributes in your life?

When this 3rd Chakra is balanced, you feel as your life is all smooth sailing. You possess a sense of contribution to your family and career and the world at large, ideas are flowing and you can express your drives, desires, wants, and creative nature is a way that is easy, effortless and powerful without being over-bearing.

Recognizing that you might not be in balance is the first step.

Do you have trouble taking a deep breath? Do you feel as if nothing you do matters to anyone? Have stomach issues? Can’t find a solution to an issue you are facing in a relationship or at work no matter how much you mull it over? Or find that you have too many ideas but you can’t express any of them? Feel antsy or not like yourself? All of these are clues that this Solar Plexus Chakra is out of balance.

Bring Balance back and Move Your Life Forward.

Balance in the Solar Plexus Chakra really is what moves your life forward in art, relationships and career as it is the Power Chakra. Using it’s meditation word RAM helps restore balance. Even the sound of it is powerful, no? Picturing a bright white, cleansing light entering it and cleansing it out and filling it up will also help. Using a natural element like a stone to meditate on, sleep with/near, or carry around with you can also help. Spirit suggested Calcite to us as an aid for this Chakra because it is a great energy cleanser and amplifier.

If you feel you need more help in restoring balance to your 3rd Chakra, an energy practitioner can also help you. We provide Chakra Balances led by our Spirit Guides who not only balance your Chakra energies but provide you insight as to why there might be an imbalance and how you can maintain balance in the future.

Sacral Chakra or your 2nd Chakra

Your 2nd Chakra is the Svadhisthana or Sacral Chakra. It is located between your belly button and your pelvic bone and is bright orange in colour.

Are you having issues in your relationship with intimacy, desire or feeling a lack of pleasure?

This Chakra governs Desire, Sexuality, Pleasure, and all planes of intimacy.  You will know this Chakra is out of balance in this area if you are having troubles with connecting with your partner.  If you are finding there is lack of intimacy or you have no sex drive.

When it is in balance, your connection will be one that you can not explain.  You will enjoy each others company and want to constantly maintain a healthy sex life and relationship.

How happy are you and do you find joy and fulfillment in everyday?

Another area the Sacral chakra governs is how you approach life and relationships in general.  You will know you’re out of balance when you are unhappy and feeling down all the time.  You have no confidence when meeting other people and engaging in relationships.  Also, feeling like every day is a failure and you are not motivated to reach goals.

When in balance, you will enjoy each new day and what it has to offer.  Your outlook on life is positive even when you see obstacles.  You see the obstacle, but you will figure how to get around it.  You are open and excited to meet and make conversation with new people and new relationships.

Have you been having health concerns with your lower back, bladder, kidneys, and digestion?

You got it.  Your chakra may be out of balance if you are experiencing any of these issues.  It’s funny how our energetic body is tied into our physical body.

You would be amazed at the number of people that get the full tune up with a Chakra Balance.  They can release what no longer serves them and they look face to face with what is holding them back or attached to them. By doing so they feel lighter, happier, healthier and they see themselves healing from the inside out.

So how do I Balance this Chakra?

There are several ways you can restore balance to your Sacral Chakra. You can meditate on it by using the meditation word Vam. You can picture pouring light into it and cleansing it out. You can carry or meditate on a stone or crystal to restore balance. We suggest Carnelian for this Chakra as it is a particularly good for stabilising your energy and emotions, restoring vitality and supporting us through stressful times and brings motivation. It balances Yin/Yang energy and can bring tranquility and restore wholeness. You can also have an energy practitioner balance your Chakras for you.

Root Chakra

Worrying excessively about your financial situation? Career? Family?

Or are you feeling overwhelmed by responsibility?

The Root or Muladhara Chakra is the energy centre located at the base of your tailbone that governs the aspects of Safety, Stability, Security, Sense of Self and Self-confidence. As an energy centre, is can be affected by strong emotions that you have had or that you’ve encountered in others as well as by experiences you have had, or witnessed, both in this life and past lives.

Your Root Chakra is most likely out of balance.

When we tend to worry unduly about the things we associate with our security and stability or we feel overwhelmed and lacking in self-confidence it is a reflection that something has disturbed the balance in our Root Chakra. It may have become constricted in response to something that threatens us or it may have expanded in order to carry the burdens of our loved ones.

A balanced Root Chakra restores your equilibrium.

When this Chakra is balanced, it keeps you grounded and rooted to reality. You don’t worry overmuch – you are confident and secure in knowledge that the challenges in your life can be worked out because you are confident in yourself and your abilities. You don’t take on the responsibilities of others, you simply lend a helping hand where needed. When balanced in this Chakra, you walk taller, feel lighter and are confident that you can tackle anything. You feel connected to others in your life, but not overwhelmed by their challenges.

How do you return to balance?

There are a number of ways you can restore balance to your Root Chakra. You can meditate on it by using the meditation word Lam. You can picture pouring light into it and cleansing it out. You can carry or meditate on a stone or crystal to restore balance. We suggest Brecciated Jasper for this Chakra as it is a particularly good grounding stone, supporting us through stressful times. It balances Yin/Yang energy and can bring tranquility and restore wholeness. You can also have an energy practitioner balance your Chakras for you.

Down And Dirty With Your Health….The Proper Way To Heal

The way we see our health these days have changed.  People these days tend to be more open to natural healing from naturopaths, reflexologists, and osteopaths.  They combined these with traditional medicine.  People are reaching out and using different modalities to accommodate different aspects of their health for healing.  Many are realizing that by keeping balanced, grounded, and healthy energy field or Chakras system benefits their overall health of their body, mind, and spirit.  When these are maintained, you carry less stress, anxiety and fewer illness.

 

One way to help keep balanced is by maintained healthy Chakra system.  Our Chakras are our life energy vortices that can act as sponges and absorbed years of memories and experiences.  They also correspond to physical aspects of our body.  For example, your Root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is red in colour.  It is associated with security, survival, and everything solid in our life (our home, our body, and the ground we walk on, etc.). The root chakra is about your family, ancestors, and cultural beliefs. It is related to our connection with prosperity and how we attract it into our life. When the root chakra is balanced, you feel grounded and have an inner sense of security. You feel supported and can manifest opportunities and abundance. When it is unbalanced, feelings of fear, insecurity and not feeling like yourself. On a physical level, you may have issues with your lower back, kidneys, bladder, circulatory and reproductive issues.

 

Did you know you can use different stones to help balance your Chakras and aid in certain illness?  Stones carry unique properties and healing qualities.  Chakra stones are used to activate, balance, or increase the energy of the Chakra.  Healing is based on the belief that stones or crystals have the natural healing frequency that can be activated and contribute to moving or balancing the energy around to heal from within.  These stones also carry a specific vibration that correspond to the Chakra centres to aid in rebalancing, grounding, and healing.

 

I know there are so many to choose from and it can be confusing on which stone is the best for each Chakra.  Some stones do have similar qualities and can be used on different Chakras. So, you got it, it makes the decision even more challenging to make.

 

I decided to connect with my spirit Guide, Grace and asked her for guidance on which stones she felt were top notch for balancing, grounding, and healing the Chakras. And she did just that.  It was not a short easy process either.  There was lots of time, effort, thought and reasoning into why she chose each one.

 

I could not agree more with her choice of stones and am excited about what Grace has chosen for us.  We are delighted to share with you her selection. Visit our Chakra Balance Page (scroll down to the bottom) where you can get detailed information about each stone and their amazing properties.

 

What do you think of these stones? Like it on Facebook if you agree or share with friends as they may find them beneficial for themselves or a loved one!

Your Chakra Health

Why is your Chakra Health important?

Your Chakras affect your overall health – energetically, emotionally, mentally and physically.

We have over 100 chakras in our bodies but there are 7 major ones that govern crucial areas of your life. These 7 govern: your sense of safety and security; your sexual well-being; your career; creativity; love; your ability to express yourself; your intuition; and your connection to higher consciousness. They are also tied to physical parts of your body – limbs, torso, organs, vascular system, and the central nervous system.

We are energetic beings and we create energy within our bodies as well as take on energy from other people, events and places.

Have you ever had someone ask you why you were angry or sad when you thought you were hiding it well? Or have you ever walked into a room and felt something was off? Or felt the energy rolling off a child when s/he is frustrated? Strong emotions, adverse experiences and even past life events create energy that is stored in our Chakras. Not only are we affected by what happens to us, but our Chakras can absorb energy from other people, events and even places that have strong energy stored there.

Neglect your Chakra health and physical pain and illness can result.

If these types of energy are held in our Chakras, the Chakras become unbalanced and energy doesn’t flow through the system as it should. It can then affect our energetic, mental and emotional well-being, leaving us feeling depleted, tired, anxious, fractious, disconnected, or off-kilter. If the energy isn’t cleared out and the Chakras balanced, it builds up and can start to affect our physical health. Pain in your lower back? You could be holding grief in your Root Chakra. Or worry for your financial situation is stuck there. The longer it is held, the more chance it has to turn into a serious illness like cancer.

Care for the energetic health of your Chakras and feel better.

Releasing energy and keeping your Chakras balanced will not only leave you feeling more balanced, energetic and comfortable but it will aid your emotional, mental and physical health. It can restore calm, peace and release pain. Any of these methods will help. Breath deeply into the Chakra that governs the area of your life that you feel needs it. Image a white light entering the affected Chakra and clearing it out. Meditate on the affected Chakra will help. Shower and imagine the energy being washed away.

Guardian Angels 101

Everyone has Guardian angels watching out for them.  We usually have more than just one watching over us. There are thousands of guardian angels and some are assigned to you for above.  They are great at comforting you during the rough times and usually are around you in a crisis. They tend to intervene when disaster is about to strike and you need some guidance.  They are however, available when ever you need them as well, not just for a crisis.

If you meditate or have quiet time, you may feel them around you. You may feel a cool breeze around you or slight wind go by you.  You may get the goosebumps for no reason or you may just have that feeling that someone is around, but you can not see them.  There is nothing to fear.  They are loving and kind and will only do what’s best for you.

Guardian angels can be unknown to you or they can be a passed loved one.  Yes, some guardian angels have been seen in the physical world when something tragic has or is about to happen.  You may hear people telling stories about an accident site or almost to be accident and there was or they saw a person helping them or someone else, yet this person was to never be seen or heard of again.

These are the stories where guardian angels intervene into our lives to help us when it’s not our time to go.  Or If it is our time to go, they also may be around to help comfort us.

We all need to give thanks for these unknown guardian angels in our everyday lives that help us along the way and ask for nothing back in return.

Don’t be shy to ask for their comfort, guidance, and support for any situation.  They are just happy to be of service to you.
