subject: Basic Techniques For Chakra Healing [print this page] In Sanskrit the seven chakras are known as metaphysical energy centres that we can work with to balance our physical, mental and spiritual health. In this article we will talk about three basic techniques that can be used for chakra healing.
There are a few chakra healing techniques that anyone can use to begin learning more about their energy and to tap into the metaphysical reality. These include concentration on breathing, focus based meditation, and visualisation. Individuals who specialise in chakra balancing methods often use these techniques to help others awaken their chakras.
Learning to regulate our breathing can be important, especially considering that in Sanskrit that breath is considered to be synonymous with life force energy flow. Simple techniques such as focusing on improving conscious breathing rather than breathing unconsciously can have a tremendous benefit in learning how to balance your energy and chakras.
Concentrating on specific energy centre in our bodies can also help activate that centre with our awareness. You might have heard the phrase "where attention goes, energy flows", this is certainly true in chakra balancing. By consciously focusing on a particular chakra for example, you will be able to learn how to activate it with intention alone.
Some people also find visualisation to be more effective than other techniques in chakra balancing because it allows them to create a clear visual image of where the energy is flowing in their bodies. Sometimes visualisation can take time to get a hang of, and often practice is required to increase the vividness of images during visualisation, however this practice does pay off in the end and serves as a great means for working with chakras.
In this article we talked about three techniques for chakra healing. By working with your breathing, being more mindful where you place attention in your body, and practising visualisation, you equip yourself with the right tools for working with the metaphysical energy responsible for governing the chakras.
