Meditation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nMeditation is the key to alignment and although not essential in receiving the energy you desire, it helps to prevent potential blockage of the chakra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can know when your chakras are blocked through many signs \u2013 feeling sluggish, symptoms of pain and stiffness in your feet and legs, the feel of a chaotic home life and disorganised environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aligning the chakra keeps that wanted balance and energises the body for the good, connecting each area of the body and preventing an imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aligning the chakra using the stones themselves is a simple process. All it takes is having each stone and concentration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can choose to lay on your back on a flat, comfortable surface and then place each stone on the areas of your body they are assigned to \u2013 base of spine, lower abdomen, upper abdomen, centre of chest, throat, between the eyes, top of head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you would rather sit than lay down, you can still hold the stones close to your body by cupping all seven of them in your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close your eyes and work your way from the lowest point (base of spine) to the highest point (top of head) and allow the energy of the stones to work through the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each chakra holds a specific colour \u2013 as you are meditating imagine those colours as you allow the energy to surge through your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019d prefer a different method of aligning the chakras, consider the prospect of exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is already known that general exercise is good for both the body and the mind, increasing stamina and overall fitness level, however exercise can also have its spiritual links and can be beneficial to the mind and to the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Root Chakra<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe root chakra involves physical exercise and good sleep \u2013 activities that connect earthy energy will be a positive move for this chakra. Consider activities such as gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One exercise for the root chakra is stimulating the perineum: sit in a butterfly position, grab onto your ankles, raise your hips and rock back and forth. Repeat this and allow your body to warm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sacral Chakra<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe sacral chakra is in link with the water elements. For this, activities such as swimming is a good way to exercise this chakra. If you want to be adventurous, take a swim in the natural environment of the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solar Plexus Chakra<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSpending time outside, solving puzzles or immersing yourself in an interesting book can be good for this chakra. Stomach strengthening exercises is a great way to enhance this chakra as it will be specifically monitoring the upper abdomen area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heart Chakra<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe heart chakra is connected to love and purity. Simple activities such as taking a walk in the park will help to strengthen this energy in a physical manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When at home, why not try this lung exercise \u2013 lift your arms above your head and allow your palms to face upwards, elongate your spine as you do so and breath evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
