| Awakening your Chakras |
Chakra is a Sanskrit word which means wheel of energy. There
are mainly six chakras which are responsible for transformation of
consciousness and provides the ultimate physical and mental health. A sensation
is felt in the body when a chakra is awakened. But these chakras are usually
blocked. The causes for the blockage of these chakras can be a childhood
trauma, abuse, emotional injuries, lack of attention, and some unsolved puzzles
of life, some mistakes that haven’t been forgiven or a learned restrictive
belief system and so on. All these situations cause a chakra to shut down.
But there are ways to awaken your chakras. I shall now be
sharing the ways to awaken your chakras but before that, you will need to know
what a ‘rebirthing breath’ means. A rebirthing breath is a shallow and rapid
breath in which you inhale strongly but exhale in a relaxed way. Also remember to take 3 directed breaths
after every session of rebirth breathings. Directed breath means you need
direct and visualize the air (breaths) going towards the location of that
chakra.
The ways to awaken your chakras are as follows:
Root Chakra
If root chakra is out of alignment, you will feel fearful,
overly attached to materialistic things and feel insecure. You may feel that
you are disconnected from life. To awaken this chakra, you need to stand with
your feet as wide apart as you comfortably place them. Rotate your hips from
right (forward) to left (back) 49 times. Take slower rebirthing breath with
each rotation. When done, take 3 directed breaths. Now repeat it again in an
opposite direction followed by 3 directed breaths.
Location: the base of spine
Navel Center Chakra
If navel center chakra is out of alignment, you may feel a
loss of vitality and power. To awaken this chakra, you need to take 50
rebirthing breaths. With every inhalation, you will need to pull in your belly
sharply.
Location: the stomach and navel center.
Heart Chakra
When heart chakra is out of alignment, you may feel beaten
by life and may come across various ego issues within yourself. To awaken it,
stretch your arms outside and in front of the line of shoulders. Now take 49
rebirthing breaths. With each breath, move your arms (while keeping them
straight) so that fingertips trace a big circle. Try to move up in back and
down in front as you try to make a circle. When done, bring your hands down and
take 3 directed breaths. Now repeat the process in opposite direction.
Location: the heart and lung area
Throat Chakra
When throat chakra is out of alignment, and you will feel
that your ability to communicate is compromised. To awaken this chakra, do 7
head rolls. Start with dropping your head forward, roll it to left then to back
and then to right then again forward. Do 7 rebirthing breaths after each roll.
On the total, you need to take 49 breaths.

Third Eye
This chakra strengthens our intuitive powers. Your thinking
and sense of picking up signals is affected while making your mind unclear and
foggy. For this, take 49 rebirthing breaths. With each inhalation, open your
eyes as wide as possible while raising your eyebrows quickly. Now close your
eyes and take 3 directed breaths.
