Every part of us is interdependent: our bodies, minds and spirits are all an important part of our overall health. Our chakras are part of our bodies, even though we cannot see them and they are just as subject to physical, environmental and spiritual influences as the rest of us. Chakra cleansing can help you to stay in optimal health by keeping our chakras properly balanced and maintaining the efficient flow of energy.

Every part of our being depends in every other part, meaning that chakra cleansing is every bit as important to your health as is eating well and getting regular exercise!

What follows is a list of some of the chakra cleansing techniques which have been shown to be effective and have been used for many centuries.

*Smudging with certain herbs and other plants, especially white sage can help by clearing away blockages in your chakras caused by negative energies. Burn some white sage in a closed room for a few minutes, allowing the smoke to fill the room.

*Auric brushing: Crystals and gems can be used to heal and cleanse chakras, but should only be done by a trained professional as if not done the right way, this technique can cause damage.

*Get a healthy diet, drink lots of water and juice and get adequate sleep. Your chakras will stay in better shape if you keep your physical body healthy.

*Your chakras will remain clearer if you get regular exercise and practice breathing techniques.

*Nature: Spending some time in nature can be an effective method of chakra cleansing. Get out into the countryside and observe the plants and animals even if you live in a city, you can do this at a park; the important thing is to make some time to experience the natural world.

*Color therapy: Every chakra corresponds to a color. By looking at these colors or even just visualizing them, you can stimulate your chakras into proper function and clear away energy blockages.

*Music: Music is one of the most effective methods of chakra cleansing. Music stimulates and activates your chakras and along with them, your endocrine system.

*Keep your mind active: When you continue to learn and grow intellectually, you are keeping your energy centers (the chakras) active.

*Make a little time every day to meditate and reflect on your day. This gives you perspective and is a very effective method of chakra cleansing.

*Love yourself: Before you can give or accept love, you need to love yourself. Love is a powerful emotion which has a positive effect on your chakras.

*Stay in tune with your emotions: You need to be able to accept and understand your emotions and when necessary, communicate your feelings to other people. When you repress your emotions, you allow negative energies to build up and cause chakra blockages.

*Creativity: You need to make creativity a part of your life. Letting your creativity out will make you a happier person and allow for proper chakric function.

*Past lives: You need to be open to your past lives, especially to the opportunity to learn about yourself through them. The self awareness and sense of purpose this can give you will make all of your other chakra cleansing techniques more effective.

*Be the change you want to see in the world: Live your life in accordance with the principles of honesty, respect and trust.

*Prayer, like meditation can keep your chakras in balance and help you to maintain good health. Prayer quiets our minds and opens them.

All of these chakra cleansing techniques can work for you and should be practiced regularly. It may not happen overnight, but when you keep up using these chakra cleansing methods, you’ll start to see the benefits and have a higher quality of life.
