How to Heal & Balance
A Simplified Step Guide Practical to increase your will, personal power, and mental abilities

Everything in our universe has radiating energy, from the biggest mountain to ocean, to the smallest blade of grass, to each cell in our body. All of our cells release energy in different ways, and different cells will release various types of energy depending on where they positioned in the body and what are their actions. It should come as no surprise, then, that given the specialized nature of your body’s energy, there are several different channels located on the main points of the body through which our energy can flow in and out in the continuous stream. These are called the chakras.

This compelling, beautiful and practical information by Shiva Girish where we invite readers to begin from a profound understanding about Solar Plexus (Manipura) Chakra for vitality. When consciousness is at this level, we experience health, well-being, and balanced energy. It also focuses on willpower, a sense of transformation, the government of personal strengths, discipline of the ego, self-control, a sense of power and authority. It is at this point that one can monitor and assess how internal energies affect the external body.

The meaning of the “Manipura” Sanskrit word is “Mani” which means beads or jewels and “pure” means a city or a place, etc. When your consciousness is at this stage, you have crossed the negative part of the Swadhishtana Chakra.

Third chakra energy, of personal power which, becomes the dominant vibration in our development during puberty. It supports us further in the process of individuation, of forming a `self`, ego and personality separate from our natural identity. This energy center also has most issues related to the development of self-esteem and personal power. The chakra also completes the physical trilogy of the human energy system. Like chakras one and two, it primarily relates to a physical form of power.

How Does a Chakra Work?
A chakra is a wheel, but it operates like a ball of energy interpenetrating the physical body. The chakras are not physical; you can’t see them on an X-ray or any scanners. They are pieces of consciousness, and they interact with the physical and energetic body through two major vehicles, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. Each chakra associated with one of the nine endocrine glands, and also with a particular group of nerves, called a plexus, this makes them essential components in healing. Each one of chakra matches with particular parts of the body and specific functions in the body managed by that plexus or that endocrine gland, which is the key to understanding how chakra healing devices work.

The chakras represent the parts of your consciousness and your physical body. All the senses, perceptions, and possible states of awareness divided into seven categories, and all these types associated with a particular chakra. When you feel the tension in your consciousness, you feel it in the chakra connected with a part of your consciousness experiencing the stress, also in the parts of the physical and energy body associated with that chakra. Where you feel the weight depends on why you feel the pressure.

When you hurt in a relationship, you feel it in your heart. When there is tension in the particular part of your consciousness, and therefore in the chakra associated with that part of your consciousness.When the tension continues over a period or reaches a particular step of power, it creates a sign on the physical level and requires chakra healing to resolve the tension, problem, emotions, hurt.

People with activated chakras are robust and healthy. Someone with insomnia and hyperactive children has over-active Basic chakras. Individuals with less activated chakras tend to be weak and fragile. Also, older adults have seriously wasted chakras, that’s the reason that old people tend to shorten in size with age, and their spines curve and the healing of bruises and bones decreases down.

Your Energetic Frequency and Chakras

The energy of chakras affects our physical processes through stimulation and inhibition. Remember, chakras are like wheels, and their job is not only to keep energy moving but also to contract or close as a defense against negative energy. If one chakra is under-active, then another chakra will become overactive, sending out your low-frequency vibrations at a higher rate, which then requires further balancing in the chakra healing process.

What happens when chakras are overactive and underactive?
The opening and closing of our chakras work like a dynamic guard system. A negative experience (and the low-frequency energy that comes with it) can cause the allied chakra energy to close to block that energy out. Likewise, if we are adhering to a low-calibrating feeling like prolonging the emotion or blame because we dislike to deal with or move it, we close off the chakra which then needs special chakra healing techniques.

What happens when Root chakra is overactive and underactive?

When this chakra is overactive, you feel aggressive, angry, perfectionistic or overly critical of oneself or others.
When this chakra is underactive, you feel Passive, indecisive, timid, lacking self-control.
