Chakras: What Happens When They Become Blocked or Imbalanced?

Last week, I introduced you to the concept of the chakra as a life force energy.   Eastern cultures have an awareness of these centers as being vital to our health and if imbalanced, sickness and disease may occur (2014).  Today we will discuss what happens when the chakras  become blocked or imbalanced.

Root

 

 

     Disruption of the root can lead to stress, anxiety, and restlessness.  According to ChakraEnergy.com,  one may suffer from anemia, depression, fatigue, low back pain, and even frequent colds.  Additionally,  joint pain and  a poor immune system may manifest.  A person may have fears of letting go, poor boundaries, or security issues (2014).

Sacral

 

 

     If the sacral chakra becomes imbalanced, a person may exhibit the following signs/symptoms: eating disorders, asthma, allergies, alcohol/drug abuse,  and Candida/yeast infections.  Other health issues include bladder problems, impotence, and lack of flexibility.  Jealousy, betrayal, and control may surface on an emotional or social level (2014).

Solar Plexus

 

 

     If a person has a block of the solar plexus they may develop digestive disorders, ulcers, diabetes, low energy, constipation, and nervousness.  Those that have a hot temper, are judgmental, fear change, demanding, or are sensitive to criticism fall into this category (2014).

Heart

 

     The heart is the gateway to the higher level chakras and energy must pass through here in order to assess the throat, third eye, and crown centers.  If the heart becomes blocked, we may be resentful, bitter, lack forgiveness, and experience guilt.  Physically, one may suffer from high blood pressure, respiratory disorders, cardiac issues, shortness of breath, and even tension between the shoulders (2014).

 

Throat

 

     The throat is responsible for clear voice and where we speak our inner truths.  If imbalanced, the voice will be weak and feelings incomprehensible.  We can suffer from fever; ear, nose, and throat disorders; problems with swallowing; and hormonal disorders like PMS and mood swings.  Also, a disruption may cause one to lie in order to get his/her way (2014).

Third Eye

 

     An unwell third eye may cause a person to be worrisome; have poor concentration and  learning disabilities; sleep disorders and neurological issues.  Additionally, fever, flu, infections, and headaches may also appear (2014).

Crown

 

     The blocked crown may represent as a confused, depressed, and uninspired person.  Signs of disruption include: epilepsy, skin rashes, varicose veins, sensitivity to light, and even amnesia.  A person may also have a fear of success due to this imbalance (2014).

     Complementary and alternative methods are designed to assist the body's natural healing ability.  However, there may be times when issues (such as described in this post) require traditional medical intervention.  It is essential that you speak with a licensed healthcare provider if you have signs and symptoms of a medical conditions such as heart disease, lung problems, or high blood pressure.  Please be sure to disclose to your doctor if you wish to explore alternative means such as reiki healing to balance you chakras, and never discontinue a prescribed treatment protocol/medication without his or her consent or agreement.
