“The spirit is the life of the body seen from within, and the body the outward manifestation of the life of the spirit – the two being really one.” Carl Jung
One of the simplest ways to relieve pain and suffering is to take better care of your chakras.
What are your chakras?
Your chakras are energy vortexes, both large and small, located throughout your body as well as your energy field.
Many people have heard of their seven major chakras, but you have many others.
Some energy medicine experts claim there are as many as 23 chakras located not just in your physical body but also throughout your energy field both above the crown of your head and below your feet.
They are part of your pranamayakosha, or energy body, and regulate the well being of your physical body as well as the quality of vital energy you experience on a daily basis.
When your chakras are open and balanced, they spin a clockwise direction.
When you are unhealthy, your chakras may be closed or spinning in a counterclockwise direction.
As a medical intuitive healer, I can discuss the hidden secrets of your chakras.
Don’t Just Take An Aspirin, Balance Your Chakras
You’re probably aware that it’s a good idea to exercise regularly, eat right, sleep well and manage your stress.
But who has ever told you that it’s also a good idea to balance your chakras?
And why is this a really good idea anyway?
Your chakras literally regulate the well being not only of your physical body but also your psychological experience.
When you experience physical pain or mental suffering, there’s a 110 percent likelihood that a chakra that corresponds to the area in your body or your emotional process has been out of balance for some time.
That’s because everything that happens to you occurs not just at the physical level, it also resonates throughout your energy body, emotional body, mental body and spiritual body.
You have a stereophonic experience of life.
When I do a medical intuitive reading, I look at:
- Your primary operating chakra, which tells me the filter through which you experience life.
- The chakra or chakras that are out of balance.
Here is a simple guide to the hidden secrets of your chakras from my Amazon No. 1 best seller, What Is Healing? Awaken Your Intuitive Power for Health and Happiness.
When you balance your chakras, you can cause huge changes throughout your entire well being.
As you learn how to take better care of your energy body you can lessen your reliance on medication, experience greater vitality and connect more deeply to your guidance from your soul.
When you are injured, sick or suffering in any way, you can get well faster by inquiring which of your chakras has been affected and using this simple guide to direct your self care.
