The Connection Between Chakras and Energy Health
What Happens When a Chakra is Blocked?
A complete blockage of a chakra occurs when there is no energy flowing through it. This could happen due to a disruption in the circulation within the energy body. As a result, the organ/emotion associated with that chakra will be impacted negatively. The symptoms of blocked chakras manifest as various physical and emotional diseases. For example,
- If your third eye chakra is blocked, it can become both underactive or really overactive. Since it is associated with intuition, you will either find it hard to trust a gut feeling or feel overwhelmed by your intuitive abilities entirely
Overactive Chakras and Energy Health
In the case of an overactive chakra, there is an imbalance in energy circulation due to which it receives excessive energy. No, too much energy is not ideal for your chakra health as it leads to disharmony in the overall flow. Symptoms of an overactive chakra can show up as;
- In the case of an overactive Heart chakra, you may experience intense emotional sensitivity. You will constantly feel the need to please others and struggle with setting healthy boundaries.
What Does an Underactive Chakra Mean?
When a chakra does not receive enough energy due to a restriction or blockage in the energy field, it becomes underactive. It does not perform well leading you to experience physical and emotional symptoms corresponding to that chakra. Underactive chakras and energy health are linked, as they negatively impact your well-being.
- Let’s say you have an underactive throat chakra; chances are you have trouble expressing yourself. You have poor communication skills and feel hesitant in things like sharing your ideas with others.
