When a chakra is blocked, it first and foremost affects the particular area of your life and your body that it governs. It also creates an imbalance that will affect your health and general well-being, as well. Chakras that experience frequent blockage are the root, heart, and third eye chakras. One way of telling if a particular chakra is blocked is when you experience a feeling of intense pressure or possibly a burning sensation in them.

While there are many ways of opening chakras that are blocked, the best way to do it would be to incorporate them in your usual meditation. You can try any of the following exercises:

Use Hand Energy
If the energy flowing through your palms and fingertips is strong, one effective way of unblocking a blocked chakra is to lay your hands on them. The first thing to do would be to place your hands directly on the chakra you want to open and relax. If you start to feel some head coupled with a tingling sensation coming from your palm you are ready to begin. Use the energy emanating from your palm and envision it flowing into the chakra your hand is on. Concentrate on the flow of energy from your palm to the chakra you’re unblocking for approximately 5-15 minutes.

Breathe on the Chakras
Once in a meditative state, inhale deeply and breathe onto the blocked chakra, envisioning the flow of energy from your breath into it. It would help to envision the color of the energy you’re transferring to be same color of the chakra that you’re healing. Hold your breath for six counts and visualize the blocked chakra opening slowly, like a bud coming into bloom. Exhale, making sure to envision that the blocked chakra is continuing to open and expand. After this, visualize a bright, golden-white-colored light entering through your root chakra. Focus on driving the light up your spine, through the affected chakra, and then up and out through your crown.

These exercises can be incorporated into your meditation on a daily basis. Opening chakras that are blocked using the above exercises will not only heal them, but strengthen them as well.

Another one of my favorite methods for opening chakras is through the use of binaural beats. This is a very powerful technique and how effective it really is continues to amaze me. If your interested in trying out binaural beats, you can download some great ones at PowerOfChakra.com
