Chakras And Flowers

How do you connect chakras, the energy centres of the body in Eastern tradition, and flowers, pretty, ephemeral, bright, cheerful symptoms of nature?

… by method of color therapy. yoga energy balancing strategies … meditation … and an easy method of making yourself feel better and reenergized even if you don’t actually think in any of the above.

There are 7 main chakras (as well as numerous others) in a line from the base of the spinal column to the crown of the head and another freshly identified chakra just above the head which I think is very important. Each one is connected with various locations of physical, spiritual and psychological well-being. When the energy circulation in one becomes blocked it can result in particular signs and vice versa. By keeping the chakras open and the energy streaming, we can maximise our body’s ability to keep well and recover itself.

Each chakra has a colour of the spectrum connected to it. Focus on that colour and think of that colour light pouring into the chakra and saturating it in pure coloured light, then visualise the chakra as a spinning disc of colour. Work through each chakra (see listed below for summary) in turn from Root to Crown to rebalance your entire energy level.

So what about the flowers? Whatever you utilize to imagine the colour would work, paint swatches, coloured crystals or stones, an image in your minds eye, however gorgeous photos of flowers filled in the pure colour of each chakra can bring some additional flower energy into your life.

Flowers raise the vibrational energy around them, which is why they have long been associated with events, brought as presents to brand-new moms, sick individuals, liked ones. We are hardly ever mindful of the spiritual connection these days, we just understand that flowers cheer people up and make them feel glad.
