Just like maintaining a clean home, our chakras need to be maintained regularly too. Our body has over 70,000 chakras. Each time our meridians (nadis) cross, that junction is called a chakra.
Balanced chakras and the law of attraction.
Seven main chakras make up our energetic system. These main chakras are energetic centers located at the endocrine glands.
When your chakras are balanced, energy is able to freely flow through your energetic system. This leads to a greater sense of peace and wellness.
Having balanced chakras impacts your aura, or energetic field. A balanced aura will allow you to attract positive results.
Negative thoughts, feelings, foods, and inaction can adversely influence the chakras, thus our energetic health. The long term effects could lead to mental, emotional, and physical imbalances, density, or blocks in the chakras.
