🌈 The Complete Chakra Guide: Understanding & Balancing Your Energy Centres
Your body is more than just physical — it’s an entire energetic ecosystem. For thousands of years, people have worked with the chakra system to support healing, emotional balance, intuition, and spiritual awakening.
If you’re new to chakras (or reconnecting with them), this guide will gently walk you through each energy centre, what it represents, the signs it’s out of alignment, and the crystals that support it.

🌟 How to Balance Your Chakras
Balancing your chakras doesn’t need to be complicated. Try incorporating these practices:
✔ Meditation
Focus on each chakra’s colour and visualize it glowing brighter.
✔ Crystal Healing
Place the associated crystal on the chakra area or hold it during meditation.
✔ Sound Healing
Listening to frequency tones (e.g., 432Hz, Tibetan bowls) can help realign energy.
✔ Journaling
Expressing emotions provides clarity and frees blocked energy.
✔ Movement
Yoga, walking, dancing and stretching help move stagnant energy through the body.
Your chakras tell a story, a story of your emotions, your body, your intuition, your relationships and your spiritual growth. As you connect with them, you connect deeper with yourself.
