What are Chakras and Blocked Energy?

You are energy.  All living things are created by and comprised of energy.  The ability of your energy centres to function optimally is what keeps you psychologically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually balanced.  

Chakras are seven energy centres in your body which affect your well-being.

Chakras get blocked by negative energy which is not able to release from the body.  Negative energy comes from having experienced traumatic life experiences or emotional challenges.  Releasing this toxic energy is an important strategy on your journey to holistic well-being.

You can align or maintain chakras by using many methods such as nutrition, sound, toning, essential oils, elements (ie. earth, water etc.) visualization and of course, wearing or decorating with colour. 

When energy is stuck in one or more particular chakras, using colour may help the energy flow again.

How to choose a Healing Chakra Bracelet?

  • Do you need assistance in determining which chakra is blocked? 

  • What colours to choose?

There are many ways to choose a bracelet but the most common one is to use your own intuition to guide in choosing. 

 

Our energy centres have a particular energy frequency that resonates with certain colours that have a similar frequency.  

For example:

 

  • if you are not feeling secure or grounded, you may be drawn to wearing red.  Maybe your root chakra is not in balance.

  • If you are not feeling loved, you may be drawn to wearing green or pink.  Maybe your heart chakra is not in balance.

  • If you are not feeling like you can share your opinion (your own inner truth), Maybe your throat chakra in not in balance.

Often, a person's favourite colour is a place to start.  Especially if you are purchasing a gift for another person.
