According to Hindu and / or Buddhist beliefs, chakras are vast (but closed) energy areas in the body that control our spiritual attributes. It is thought that there are seven chakras in total; the four chakras in the upper body control the mental properties, and the three chakras in the lower body, control the instinctive characteristics. That is:

Muladhara chakra (root) Svadhisthana chakra (sacrum) Manipura chakra (sun tufts) Anahata chakra (heart) Visuddhi chakra (throat) Ajna chakra (third eye) Sahasrara chakra (crown)
According to the Buddhist / Hindu teachings, all chakras have an effect on a person's well-being and well-being. Our instincts are often associated with our feelings and thoughts. Some chakras are often not fully opened (that is, they function just as we were when they were born), but some are overactive, or even nearly closed. If the chakras are not in balance, we will not achieve inner relaxation.

Read on to discover the art of chakras awareness as well as a very effective way to uncover them.

Steps

1. 

   Understand that if you are opening up the chakras, you will not need to try to control the overactive chakras. They merely compensate for the inactivity of the closed chakras. Once all the chakras have been cleared, the energy will be adjusted and become balanced.

2. 

   
   
   Opening the Root Chakra (red). This chakra is based on physical awareness and comfort in many situations. When the Root chakra is open, you will feel balanced, clear, steady, and secure. You do not doubt the people around you without cause. You can feel reality with what's happening in that moment and be closely connected with your body. If this chakra is not working, you are often frightened or nervous and it is easy to feel like you are not welcome. If this chakra is overactive, you tend to be materialistic and greedy. You feel like you're always safe and don't adapt to change.
   • Be physically active and aware of it. Practice yoga, walk around the neighborhood or clean the house. These activities will help you feel your body and strengthen the chakras.

     

     
     
   • Grounding. This means you connect to the ground and feel it under your feet. Stand up straight and relaxed, feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly slack. Move your pelvis slightly forward and keep your body level so that the weight is evenly distributed under the soles of your feet, then lower the center of gravity forward. Hold this position for a few minutes.

     

   • After connecting to the ground, sit cross-legged as shown below.

     

   • The tip of the thumb and index finger touch each other in a gentle motion.

     

   • Focusing on the Root chakra and its meaning, this chakra lies at the point between the genitals and anus.

     

   • Repeat the "LAM" sound over and over again, speaking softly but clearly.
   • During the practice, you need to relax your body, thinking about the chakra, what it means and how it works or how it affects your life.

   Opening of the sacral chakra (orange). This chakra is responsible for sensation and sexuality. When the sacral chakra unfolds, your sensations will be released and manifest outwardly, but not excessively. You will be open to intimacy and at the same time be able to be passionate and sociable. You also won't have a problem with sex. If this chakra is inactive, you are often passive and emotionally lacking, and you are not really open to anyone. If this chakra is overactive, you will always be sensitive and emotional. You may also have a very high sexual desire.

5. 

   Open the Heart chakra (green). This chakra revolves around love, care, and affection. When the Heart Chakra opens, you tend to be compassionate and friendly with people, always maintaining intimate relationships. If this chakra is inactive, you are usually cold and unfriendly.

As the crown chakra unfolds, prejudices will disappear from your to-do list, and you seem to become more aware of the world and the connection between you and the world. If this chakra is inactive, you are usually not very spiritual and may be rigid in thinking. If this chakra is overactive, you tend to be philosophical about everything.
