By Tanmay Bhati -

"The greatest revolution in our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." - William James

Chakra
  

    The concept of chakras, energy centers within our bodies, has been embraced by various spiritual traditions. When these chakras are in balance, we experience overall well-being and harmony. However, imbalances or blockages in these energy centers can lead to physical, emotional, and mental disturbances. 

    In this article, I will explore the symptoms that indicate chakra imbalances and provide insights on how to restore and unlock their energy flow.

 

Identifying Chakra Imbalances

1. Root Chakra (Muladhara): An imbalanced root chakra may manifest as feelings of insecurity, anxiety, or disconnection from reality. Physical symptoms often include lower back pain or issues with the legs and feet.

 

2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthana): Imbalances in the sacral chakra can result in a lack of creativity, passion, or emotional instability. Difficulties in sexuality or reproductive health may also be indicators.

 

3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Low self-esteem, lack of confidence, or indecisiveness are common signs of an imbalanced solar plexus chakra. Digestive issues such as indigestion or stomach ulcers may also arise.

 

4. Heart Chakra (Anahata): Emotional closure, difficulty in giving or receiving love, or experiencing heartache are indications of an imbalanced heart chakra. Physical symptoms can include heart palpitations or respiratory problems.

 

5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Challenges in communication, fear of self-expression, or an inability to speak up signify an imbalanced throat chakra. Sore throat, thyroid issues, or voice problems may accompany this imbalance.

 

6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Imbalances in the third eye chakra may lead to difficulties in intuition, lack of clarity, or an inability to focus. Headaches or issues with the eyes and ears can also be associated.

 

7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Feeling disconnected from spirituality, confusion, or a lack of inspiration can signify an imbalanced crown chakra. Neurological or psychological issues may also arise.

 

Restoring Balance and Unlocking Chakras

1. Meditation: Practicing meditation with a focus on the specific chakra can bring awareness and channel energy to that particular area.

 

2. Energy Healing: Seeking guidance from trained energy healers can help identify and clear blockages in the chakras, restoring their balance and vitality.

 

3. Yoga: Engaging in yoga poses that target the affected chakra can stimulate its energy flow, promoting balance and healing.

 

4. Affirmations: Repeating positive affirmations related to the specific chakra can reprogram the subconscious mind and facilitate healing.

 

5. Crystal Therapy: Utilizing crystals associated with each chakra can help restore balance and unblock energy flow, aiding in the healing process.

 

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu

    Awareness of chakra imbalances and their corresponding symptoms empowers us to take necessary steps toward healing and restoring balance in our lives. Through practices such as meditation, energy healing, yoga, affirmations, and crystal therapy, we can unlock the blocked energy and facilitate the harmonious functioning of our chakras. 

    Embracing these holistic approaches, alongside seeking guidance from experienced practitioners, can bring us closer to overall well-being and a balanced energetic state.

Anahad Naad (An Unstruck Sound)

"Listen to the Un-struck Sounds and What Sifts Through That Music"- Rumi An unstruck sound, deep inside the matter, when closely examined through magnification, can bump your ears with the Soundless Sound of vibrations, These are the strings of the quarks, or so, The Anahad Naad, a cosmic sound, that depicts a completeness of oneself, One who can hear this Naad, is so extrasensory perceptible, that he can know the entire working of the cosmos, and attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi. -Tanmay Bhati   Anahada Naad, An Un-struck Sound -     If you started out knowing everything theoretically, then there is no magic or wonder occurring in the cosmos.

Additionally, practically everything in the universe has a fundamental sound that we are unable to perceive with our usual senses. As we move closer...

  The fundamental question is, in a day, how much of your thoughts, emotion, physical activity, breath, heartbeat and everything else is conscious. - Sadhguru The Nadi's that  has always kept me captivating. It's like when i was in school, I heard about Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. But then these were mere mysteries, because Yoga was then unknown to me. Then after years of practicing, the series of asana, and keeping awareness of breath while maintaining the mahamudra, I began feeling the zilt of these Nadi's. I came across a subtle feeling that can only be felt and cant be explained. The left and right part inside my body are being distributed in genealogical form. It made me sensitive to vibration, and these vibrations were happening in these nadi's that brought change in me, a change impossible to explain with mere words.  - Tanmay Bhati  Ida, Pingla and Sushumna Nadi If we are not living in our bodies, honoring them as our temple. We are closing off the divine...

  Energy and Kundalini Everything around us, including the silent mimicry of trees during the rainy season, the flow of water, the beauty of a rainbow, the free flow of an artist at his highest level of precision, the dance of the peacock, and the fragrance of a flower, transpires without flow when we are in our actual conditions, unquestionably in its most natural state, this is what Kundalini means. Kundalini awakening is not a process, it is the transformation of a physical being to an energy being, more subtly.   A 2017 study published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology looked at the connection between spiritual experiences and Kundalini activation. The research discovered a variety of spiritual experiences, including mystical encounters, feelings of oneness with the universe, and heightened intuition, was linked to Kundalini rising.
