How do I open my closed chakras?

[Morrigan]

How often should you do "maintenance work" on your chakras?

Rozie I liked your idea of the rainbow rooms - could you describe what you do?

I know what my teacher would say - every minute! That's a mindfulness practice. Basically it means expressing only light and if darkness is happening, then being mindful of it so you can switch to positive in the moment.

I incorporate a chakra awareness workout into my daily meditation practice too.

That sounds like a beautifully brilliant incorporation! I actually listen to chakra healing music every night while falling asleep (YouTube has any you may want), letting it play for a couple hours after. If I feel a certain chakra needs more attention, I'll listen to healing music with focus on that chakra. It may be mind over matter, but I feel it's been helping soooo much lately!

Imagination. Imagination is the key (to life). Imagine how amazing your body feels when it is in complete Well-Being. When that is your dominant feeling they won't just be open, they will also be in complete balance. You don't even have to know bleep abot the chakras Isn't that truly magically amazing?

I used crystals when mine sort of shrunk because I was partying too hard and neglecting to nourish and look after myself properly from my mid teens to mid twenties. It worked. I had to slow down on the drinking and partying and start looking after myself again.

For working directly with chakras, there are lots of things that are really useful, depending on what your specific needs/intentions are and what makes the most sense to you. For chakra balance or health I usually do things like energy work, meditation, tai chi, breathing exercises, or an action that is more linked to emotional or physical aspects of the chakra(s) that has a problem.

energy work is hugely helpful for me just because it involves feeling directly into each chakra, which gives me a deeper understanding of how it's doing beyond what I've experienced by visualization alone

I think chakras are closed because you think or do something that violates the laws of the universe. I read a book recently with some affirmations and they helped to open my chakras.

ive read in some place that it is either over energized or under energized, so being closed doesn't really make sense, like someone said, 'being closed' would mean dead, so the trick IMO is finding the balance in how much energy is flowing through each chakra
