This tool has been developed to allow a person the opportunity to reflect on their own well-being. By referring to the text you can determine if your chakras are out of alignment, and where you might need to put some extra "energy into" (being in mind that energy is on all levels- if a person is perhaps having issues with their career, then they could generate energy in the form of healing using whatever "healing modality they are drawn to such as reiki or colour therapy".) but additionally they will then need to exert physical activity in pursuing their dreams for the change to be made. Remember to check out the Chakra Balance and Affirmations page as well.
**NOTE: Text for the assessment is not a "blanket description", but the text will give you an idea or something to work on within your own personal reflections and assessment.
***NOTE: All of the text on this site and this page are my own work - if you would like to use and share the information, as a courtesy please do acknowledge me as the author. (I believe that acknowledgement is a form of respect toward a person for their effort and time, which is also why I will put links and acknowledgements on my site). I am more than happy to share any strategies toward empowering people to a greater joy in their lives!
How it works
Some years ago when i was teaching meditation, at a time when I was personally not comfortable to give hands on healing, I developed this method for people in my group that were "stuck". I received very positive feedback from them. What I did, (and what i suggest you do), is first of all assess whether there is an imbalance. I would advise a including a general chakra balance and alignment as a daily practise, however, when you identify that perhaps your environment is affecting your chakra balance (such as perhaps at the end of a relationship breakdown, if you have repeat patterns of being a victim of circumstances, etc etc etc). You may want to give a little bit of extra energy toward an individual chakra. The way that you can do this is:
Enlarge the picture to the point where it is big enough to fit into the palm of your hand. Laminate it. (in fact why waste time - just do the whole lot of them and have them ready for when you need or want them, your personal (and cheap) chakra balancing palm cards. If you feel that one of your chakras is under stress, just create a little time and space for yourself, and sit quietly and focus your intent or gaze upon the palm card. Squint your eyes, if you feel like it.. just allow your vision to glaze and SOAK in the colours, and the heailng intent of the card. As you are gazing at the card, on your in breath, draw in the colour of the card, for instance if it is the base chakra card - visualise all that beautiful bright red, being inhaled through your nose, and down deep into your lungs, filling your entire aura with the colour red.. and then on the exhale, see the murky or duller red leaving your body.. breathe in the fresh and bright, and breathe out the old and unnecessary. Do this for about five minutes (or longer if you feel drawn), and do it as often as you feel the need. Much light and love and blessings to you!
