Are your Chakras Blocked ? Here are the Best Warning Signs Your Chakras Are Out Of Balance
But first, What are Chakras ?
Having its roots in Sanskrit, an ancient language in Hinduism, Chakras are centers of energy that we find throughout our bodies. Translated, the word Chakra literally means «wheel» because it acts as a vortex, a disk of spinning energy where matter and consciousness meet. At the core of each one of us, spin several chakras, but we’ll start with the main seven ones.
The main seven chakras are aligned along the spine starting from the base up to the crown of the head. And of course, the body is so beautifully created, you guessed that Chakras are not located just randomly. Of course not. In reality, each one of them corresponds to a massive nerve centre within the body and represents an essential aspect of consciousness in our lives. Additionally, each chakra carries its own vibrational frequency which is translated into a specific color and has its specific function. As seven spinning wheels, the chakras form a mythical rainbow bridge at the core of our beings connecting body and spirit, mind and matter, past and future.

What causes a Chakra to become Blocked ?
A chakra can be seen as a program of consciousness that acts like a vortex - a disk of spinning energy where body, mind and spirit meet. At the core of each of us spin seven main chakras aligned along the spine starting from the base up to the crown of the head. Together, the seven main Chakras form a vertical column in our bodies called subhuman. Each chakra represents an essential aspect of consciousness in our lives and spins on a certain energetic frequency.
As the chakras spin, they attract to their core energy that is on the same vibrational frequency, all while taking energy at its core and sending it back to the frequency level. In other words, by its spinning motion, the chakra will draw any type of energy on its level, integrate it and spin it back out again.
Like attracts like. Whatever type of frequency a chakra is on, it will attract, spin it out and attract more of. This is how energetic patterns are created and repeated over and over. It’s exactly this never-ending attracting and repelling of the same energetic pattern that brings a chakra to be blocked.
What different states can a chakra be Blocked in ?
Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as saying that a chakra is blocked. Indeed, a chakra can be stuck in more than one way. Principally, a chakra can either be stuck in an overly open state, a completely closed state and pretty much every shade in between.
How do you recognize an overly OPEN chakra ?
A chakra that is stuck in an overly open state, will manifest itself as chronic fixation. It will be something that an individual does a lot sometimes even in excess. A chakra is a vortex that spins and if it gets stuck at an overly open state, it will channel a lot more and all energies through that particular plane the same way a little black hole would absorb everything around it.
How do you recognize an overly CLOSED chakra ?
On the other hand, a chakra that is stuck in an overly closed state will manifest itself as chronic avoidance. It will be something that an individual will always run away and restrain from. In this situation, a chakra that is in an overly closed or perhaps even totally closed state will be incapable of properly attracting or repelling any energy on that frequency.

That’s it for now !
We’ve seen that as the chakras spin, they attract to their core energy that is on the same vibrational frequency, all while taking energy at the core and sending it back to the frequency level.
This never-ending attracting and repelling of the same energetic pattern can bring a chakra to become blocked. A chakra can either be stuck in an overly open state, a completely closed state and pretty much every shade in between.
It can be hard for a chakra that is stuck on in certain energetic pattern to heal itself. This is why it is important to properly understand the Chakras and be able to identify the symptoms that arise from an imbalance in either one of the Chakras. Once this knowledge is integrated, it will become easier to heal old patterns that no longer serve you and bring more positivity into your lives and consciousness.
