🌈 How to Identify and Heal Blocked Chakras

When your body’s energy centers — known as chakras — are balanced, life flows effortlessly.
But when one or more get blocked, you might feel emotionally off, physically tired, or mentally scattered.
Each chakra corresponds to a specific part of your body and emotion — and each can be blocked by a specific negative energy.

Let’s go through all seven chakras, their emotional blockages, symptoms, and how to realign them.

🌟 Final Thoughts

Your chakras are the energetic blueprint of your physical and emotional body.
When one is blocked — whether by fear, guilt, shame, grief, lies, illusion, or attachment — your energy flow becomes restricted.

Healing begins with awareness, then action: meditation, movement, affirmation, and self-care.
Balance your energy, and you align your mind, body, and spirit with the rhythm of life itself.
