Chakras are spinning wheels of subtle energy. There are seven major chakras that run along the spinal column. Each chakra represents an aspect of life. These energy centers need regular maintenance to foster well-being of the body, mind and spirit. Follow these steps to balance your chakras.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Get wet. Water cleanses and replenishes the chakras. Take long baths or showers. Swim. Walk in the rain. Also, drink water daily.

  2. Step 2

    Mind the colors. Each chakra has a corresponding color. If you find that a particular chakra is not operating properly, then you can balance it by introducing more of that chakra's color into your life. The quickest way to do this is to wear the color. You can also buy flowers, burn candles, or decorate a room in the proper hue.

  3. Step 3

    Meditate. Meditation centers you and naturally balances the chakras. Focus on your breath. Count to four each you breathe in and do the same as you blow it out. For an added benefit, picture yourself breathing in the color of the chakra you're working on.

  4. Step 4

    Exercise. This is a great way to clear your mind and raise your vibration. Physical activity also grounds you which in turn balances your chakras. It doesn't have to be anything rigorous. A simple 10-minute walk or a few quick yoga poses can do the job. Choose something that you really enjoy doing to increase the benefits.

  5. Step 5

    Eat a balanced diet. This means choosing foods that make you feel good physically. Observe how you feel after eating certain foods. Then eat more of what your body loves best. This is different for everyone and may not be the usual prescribed diet. Trust your intuition.

  6. Step 6

    Stick to a sleep schedule. Your chakras need rest to balance themselves.
