Using Chakras to Create Your Best Life Experiences

Have you ever paused and considered the way you connect with the world or Universe at large? Have you recognized that you are completely in control of how you utilize the beautiful life sustaining energy flowing through your mind and body? Our ability to choose what we connect with is a gift. Keep reading and discover simple ways to use your energy and chakra system to intentionally create your best life experiences.

Meditation

Over the years my meditation practice, and the way I connect with the Universe, has evolved. The only thing that has been consistent is how I start each day intentionally giving my attention to the Universe and her unseen energies. When traveling or something else shifts my practice, I still find time to meditate daily.

Several years ago, I adopted the practice of focusing on each of my chakras and repeating a mantra at 11 of the energy centers. These affirmations are part of my meditation and bring me peace and strength.

The sacred relationship with Universal energy is what keeps me feeling empowered, loved and supported. When challenges occur, I can hear the mantras in the back of my mind; this has kept me steady even in the craziest of times.

My Concept of Chakras

I’m sharing a very easy way of working with your chakras. We have seven well known energy centers, and many more throughout our body. They each help us utilize, regulate and even manifest with Universal energy.

Take for example your heart chakra. Imagine this chakra, like the others, is a filter and a generator at the same time. The filter is like a lens of how you see and interact with the world. The generator radiates out to the world, your personal energetic signature, entwined with the cosmic energy of creation.

If your heart chakra is healthy, you are able to see love throughout the world. This beautiful vibration is generated outward and reaches all directions, and all times. This is how we share peace and healing with the world.

Now let’s look at a heart chakra that is filled with byproducts of fear, shame or any other low vibrational energy. It will be difficult for this person to feel and connect with love. Therefore, the energy of love remains waiting to be remembered and is not easily shared with the world.

Clearing our chakras is not super complicated; you can simply visualize every chakra as vibrant, open and beautiful. Another way to clear chakras is to live with intentions that recognize love and other high vibrational energy in your life. This requires consistency, and the more we do it, the easier it becomes. Having wellness practices that move our body, and breath also helps every chakra. Funny enough, laughter is a great way to shift energy and balance chakras.

I am simplifying our very complex energy system, but really, we just need to remember we each have the power to bring balance into our lives, body and mind. At our best we radiate brilliance; other times we simply need to recalibrate our energetic system.

Have fun exploring each of your chakras. Take some time every day to tune into your energetic and physical body. You might notice parts of you feel a little more constricted or heavy, while others feel light and easy. Does this correlate with what’s going on in your life?

Is there an area of your life that needs more energy? Spend some time meditating and creating mantras that boost your life experience.
