How To Open Chakras
Having a thorough understanding of the chakra system will allow you to quickly and easily identify and cure potential problems in your physical and spiritual health. Problems in your physical health can manifest themselves as problems in your spiritual health, and problems in your spiritual life can manifest themselves as serious health issues. If there is an area of your life where you are experiencing less than optimal results, in either your spiritual or physical life, than working on its corresponding chakra is a great way to overcome this challenge. Though of course, to do this properly you need to understand what each chakra corresponds with and how to best activate them.
Let’s take a look at the first chakra, Muladhara, the root chakra. Muladhara forms the very base of your being, in both a physical and energetic sense. The root chakra is located at the base of your spine. Some people locate it right at your anus, some right above your anus, and others in your perineum at the literal lowest point of your torso. It isn’t important to locate this chakra entirely precisely, it’s simply important that you understand this red energetic disk with four petals sits within that region.
In addition to your sexual energy, Swadhisthana is also associated with much of your emotional energy. This should come as no surprise to anyone, as there are few elements of our lives (if any) that evoke deeper and more intense emotions than those relating to our sexual relationships. These emotions encompass both powerful positive and negative reactions, but these emotions are almost always deep and intense. Swadhisthana is also concerned with personal gratification, with belonging, and with our desire for acceptance from others. It is related to water, both in terms of bodily fluids and the fluidity and change of emotions.
As is true with all of your chakras, there are multiple ways of activating Swadhisthana. Perhaps the most basic way is to simply stimulate your genitals, which energizes the sacral chakra and brings up awakens it easier than any other exercise. If the idea of stimulating your genitals to awaken this chakra is problematic for you, than chances are you are blocked in this energy center and need to exercise it more than most.
The most basic thing you can do for Muladhara’s health is to simply exercise. Going to the gym and lifting weights, running, and competing in sports will all aid the health and effectiveness of your root chakra. Physical exercise is especially potent for your root chakra when you focus on lower body movements. Running, performing weighted or bodyweight squats, using the leg press machine and similar movements will all powerfully energize your root chakra. There are also energetic exercises that you can perform to further strengthen and activate your root chakra. For example, visualizing the energy of the earth coming up into your root chakra is a powerful way to provide energetic therapy if this chakra is stunted or clogged. Meditating on your physical blessings and performing gratitude exercises for the basic material blessings that you enjoy and are thankful for is another great way to provide plenty of loving energy to your root chakra.
