The word chakra is actually a Sanskrit word, which means spherical and it denotes the seven energy points of our body. These are the energy whorls linked to the infinite universal energy being the receiving and transmitting centers for the same. Thus open chakras for the sake of remaining healthy physically, mentally and spiritually.
It should be kept in mind by an individual that one should open chakras which are closed, under-active or which has its energy blocked or directed elsewhere. One needs to perform a chakra test to diagnose the ones that are faulty and then one has to open chakras through the techniques prescribed like meditation, physical exercises, sound and others.
An individual needs to identify which chakras are blocked in order to open chakras. This can be easily understood by an individual from his physical and emotional feelings. Let’s take an example. If you have problem regarding your digestive system, it is the chakra at the solar plexus which needs balancing. If somebody suffers from the fear of betrayal, his heart chakra needs to be mended.
Anybody can go through a simple procedure of exercise to understand which chakras are causing trouble. A partner is needed to perform it. One has to stand straight, with his dominant hand stretched out on one side. He has to place his other hand on the different chakras one by one. This has to be done with concentration. Now the partner has to push down his dominant hand. This has to be done in two full rounds for all the seven chakras. Pushing down the dominant hand of the individual by his partner will be hard for strong chakras while easy for chakras that are closed.
After under active chakra identification has been done, open chakra with the help of meditation. All the chakras are characterized by a lotus having a specific colour and number of petals. Concentrate on the spot where your chakra should be and intensely visualize this lotus opening up there.
You can open chakras by some particular hand positions or mudras. There are different sitting positions with different hand formation or mudras against each chakra. The mind should be calm and clear while these mudras are performed and such chakra exercises can be made more effective by the use of ancient Sanskrit sounds. These Mudras along with sounds, if properly done will open chakras you need to.
Lastly, open chakras by the weapon of positive thinking. Each chakra in the body has their own set of positives and negatives. For example, the positives of the solar plexus stands are aspects of personal power like courage, confidence and high self esteem. Again, the negatives of the heart chakra are those of fear of being hurt, being betrayed by a loved one, etc. Therefore if a person successfully works on raising his positive sides and removing the negativities, it will help in improving the condition of the chakra and thereby improve his physical organs linked to the same.
Thus, we can conclude that first we need to analyze our body to see which chakras need to be opened and examined and thereafter we must work on opening them up through any of the techniques mentioned above, for the wholesome development of a person, in body, mind and spirit.
