“Most people have closed down their top three chakras (the crown, the third eye, and the throat); by the time, they are three years old. This occurance happens when children are forced to conform to society. Most parents of western society do not believe in spirits, spirit friends, past lives, and other worlds. Many children are often open to many of these worlds. This programming causes the child to start shutting down the upper chakras.
When there’s been a lack of nurturing, love, and encouragement in life, or when a child is beaten, sexually abused, or constantly being yelled at by their family members, this closes down the heart (love), solar plexus (personal power), and sacral chakras (emotions).
During the teenage years, the heart chakra often closes down or becomes blocked because of rejection and emotional pain from parents, peers, and lovers. The solar plexus chakra may close down or become blocked when parents and society force teens into molds which they don’t fit in.
By the time many of us reach adulthood, all but the root and sacral chakras have closed down. Even those may have imbalances. Blockages or unbalances do not usually occur because of one single event, it is repetition of similar events, Unbalanced or blocked chakras create a whole range of mental, emotional, and physiological conditions.
‘Each chakra corresponds to specific internal organs and nerve bundles and contains prana, or healing energy. If a chakra becomes blocked or unbalanced, you may experience physical or mental symptoms,’ says Buttimer. a licensed psychotherapist at Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Clinic.
Various techniques can then be used to balance the chakra system and restore health in the individual physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. They are acupuncture, reiki, inner child retrieval, past life regression, visualization, prayer, and meditation. Even a healthy diet and exercise can restore some of your chakra health. In all healing, the willingness to surrender to the Divine and to ask Spirit for assistance is extremely important to allowing Spirit to work for you. Remember to willingly release and receive the help from your Higher Self.”
