When our main seven chakras are open and balanced, energy can
flow freely through our bodies and minds. When any of these energy
centers are blocked, it leads to stagnation and can contribute to a
variety of physical and spiritual ailments. If you are experiencing
any recurring pain or stiffness, read along to see if a chakra
imbalance could be the cause and find out how chakra
balancing could help.

After reading this, you (like me) may feel that more than one of your
chakras is imbalanced or blocked. This is because when one is
blocked, the other chakras begin to compensate for it and either
become overactive or underactive. So the best way to start
balancing all of your chakras and work towards well-being is to
start at the root and work your way up to the crown, one chakra at a
time.
