Introduction to Chakras
If you are into yoga or meditation or attended a reiki session, you may have heard your practitioner or yoga instructor talk about your chakras. But what is a chakra? How many chakras are there in total and how do they affect us?
This article will guide you through the different types of chakras affirmations, what effect they have on our lives, and how powerful they are. The word chakra is a Sanskrit word which means “wheel”. This means the force of life or the prana is ever-rotating or revolving around us or within us.
These energies have 7 different centers in our body, which starts from the bottom of the spine to the top of our head. If you maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, then the 7 chakras give us balanced energy to our body, mind, and soul.
If anyone of our 7 chakras is affected or is blocked, then our health or mind will suffer.
The heart chakra is the fourth chakra, its color is green, and it’s located roughly in the same area as the physical heart.
The History Behind The Chakra System
Historically, the study of the seven chakras originated in Indian spiritual customs that consider human existence to be based on the primary chakras.
You can browse through the old texts of Vedas and you will find more information about the chakras and how each of the chakras correspond to certain organs and also emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual states and how the chakras influence them. We can also categorize the chakras into minor and major chakras. I prefer using the 7 chakra system, because it is enough to heal and activate every aspect of the energetic body.
Whenever a particular chakra is not performing properly or it is blocked, then you are more prone to suffer from an illness. Just like how our body requires nourishment to strengthen it or energize it.
When we use the term energy, we are implying life-force that makes us conscious and alive. With the help of the chakras, we can understand the working of the life-force or energy.
The seven primary chakras begin at the perineum and them run-up to the top of the head in a straight line alongside the spinal cord.
Here you can see the position, colors and symbols of all the seven chakras.
How Affirmations Can Help Balance the Chakra
Chakras are the life-forces that affect our reality. If a chakra is blocked, it can represent a physical illness or pain and may also manifest in your emotions, relationships, or even financial stability.
With the help of affirmations, you can use the strength of words to alter the way you exist.
The more affirmations you use, the more you start believing in them and the more they tend to transform into reality.
These affirmations have been successful in helping us achieve astonishing results and they have often turned several failures into achievements.
You can use the power of positive affirmations to cleanse, clear, and balance your chakras.
You can use positive affirmations to change the negative waves into positive ones. The affirmations have the power of healing your physical as well as your emotional pains.
When your chakra is balanced, you attain happiness and joy. Each of the affirmations has its potential benefits.
The heart chakra is the fourth chakra that is situated at the center of a human body. It is linked with understanding, desire, and love.
The heart chakra can be blocked by emotional pain or stress. Bad memories or sad past or overthinking may cause the heart chakra to be blocked. This makes it hard to indulge in new relationships or keep hanging onto current healthy relationships.
If your heart chakra is balanced, then you will possess the ability to be open to others for love and compassion. You will openly spread love as well as be able to receive love from others.If your heart chakra is unsteady, then you will be unable to love others as well as yourself. There will be extreme hatred in your heart along with depression, selfishness, grief, and jealousy.
How to Use Heart Chakra Affirmations
The heart chakra affirmations can process your pain and channelize it into a positive path. You can speak the heart chakra affirmations aloud or speak silently to yourself, in your mind.
Repeating the affirmative statements, a couple of times will associate you to feel a positive emotion simultaneously.
For better results, chant the affirmations daily. If you want to jot down the positive affirmations on a piece of paper, you can do it and keep it with yourself.
Burning of incense sticks, candles and the use of essential oils awaken your inner soul and allows you to open your heart to love and compassion.
Certain yoga poses also enhance the heart chakra and opens the heart, such as the upward facing dog, bridge drive, camel, chest toward the sky, etc.
Affirmations can be written, spoken or focused on silently within. Experiment with the three different approaches to see which one you like the most.
