How do you know if your chakras are open? Chakras represent the universal energy system of the body. According to Hindu philosophy, we are all linked to the Universe or the Source physically and spiritually.

The interaction of energies from the Universe emanates from the seven distinct chakras that can be found throughout the body. Ideally, our chakras should be open and balanced – people who achieve this state are healthier, happier, more confident, and can use their power to achieve their dreams.

However, the opposite is often true: that people’s chakras are often blocked and imbalanced, and their chakras remain this way for years. Don’t fret: there are ways to remove the blocks on your chakras and drain away from the negative energies that are pent up there. A chakra can also become blocked if it is underactive or underperforming.

Symptoms of  Blocked Heart Chakra: A blocked and overactive heart chakra results in the removal of important or essential personal boundaries. You begin doing things “in the name of love” even if the said actions are becoming harmful or inimical to your health or mental/emotional wellness.

They genuinely feel that they cannot be loved and that they cannot establish meaningful relations with other people – and we are not just talking about romantic relationships here. We are talking about social relations in general.

Meditation

Unblocking a chakra can be done in a variety of ways, but the simplest method is to meditate on the chakras. Meditate and visualize that you are grounding yourself to the earth, and that your crown chakra is feeding pure, white energy to each of your chakras.

The root chakra may be used to ground yourself to the earth, and as you do so, you will feel negative energies flowing from your other chakras toward the earth. Continue meditating until you feel a sense of relief and wellbeing from purifying yourself of excess and negative energies.
