Eastern medicine believes there are 7 energy centers
throughout your body that hold the key to a balanced long life.
These cultural medicinal traditions can be used as one
pathway to wellness as we approach a new year. Understand our body’s energy
center drives our emotional states. Emotions
are powerful players in your physical, mental, and spiritual health. A concept that you may not be aware of is why unblocking
your Chakras can be extremely beneficial to uncovering the root cause to poor
emotional and physical health.
Your 7 main Chakras extend from the base of your spine to
the crown of your head. Each corresponding to different parts of your body. The
belief is when your Chakras are blocked or out of balance you’re prone to poor
health. This can impact everything from
your heart rate, metabolism, mood, attitude, and even your relationships.
However, when you unblock your Chakras you learn to take your health into your
own hands. By gaining and understanding about Chakras--you increase information
needed to fight off illness and feel better in your own body.
Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary is a Western trained Neurologist who
states unblocking your Chakras could be the key to your good health. Recently Dr.
Chaudhary appeared on the Dr. Oz show to inform the viewers about this practice
of eastern medicine. She states “the central nervous system holds the answers to
unblocking energy.” She explained “the
spinal cord is a relay system of information giving electrical signals to our
nerve fibers.” Dr. Chaudhary believes “these
bundles of nerves are linked to the different Chakras that are connected to
different organ systems.” Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz a renowned cardiothoracic
surgeon and television personality, believes “if we define life at the level of
the cell of energy…then it stands to reason that energy is the currency of
life.” When you understand the roots of
why you have the problems that are blocking any one or all of your seven
Chakras (energy sources) you can begin to repair your body’s weaknesses.
When Chakras’ are blocked you may experience:
ROOT CHAKRA – discourse in your body, mind, and emotions
SACRAL CHAKRA – lack of creative force, sexuality, and diminished
emotions
SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA – lack of identity, self-esteem,
motivation, ambition, and will-power
HEART CHAKRA- decrease of emotions of love, compassion and fear
of intimacy
THROAT CHAKRA – difficulty in expressing feelings
THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA – depression and poor intuition
THE CROWN CHAKRA – inability to regulate sleep/wake cycles, difficulty meditating, feeling disconnected from your body or others and spiritual discomfort.
Below is a free image that illustrates where the Chakras are located and the benefits of unblocking them.
Incorporating mediation and proper nutrition allow for
lasting results in this eastern medicine practice that deals with the root cause
of problems that diminish mental and physical health.
