Rediscovering Balance: How the Chakra System Transformed My Healing Journey
As we move through the holiday season, I hope you’re finding small moments to care for yourself. This time of year often stirs up emotions, patterns, and old stories, which makes it a powerful moment for self-reflection.
That’s why I’m excited to share something deeply meaningful to me: my personal journey into understanding the chakra system and a free guide I created to help you reconnect with your own energetic and emotional health.
What Are the Chakras?
Chakras are energy centers in the body that influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In Sanskrit, the word chakra translates to “wheel,” “disc,” or “circle.” They function as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical, helping us understand how our internal world influences our external experiences. Each chakra governs specific organs, systems, and aspects of your overall health. When energy flows too strongly or not strongly enough, it may appear as imbalances in the body.
Our bodies are always communicating. We simply need to learn how to listen.
My Journey With the Chakra System
Several years ago, during one of the most difficult periods of my life, an intuitive guide told me to read Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith. It was as thick as a textbook, but it opened a completely new doorway to understanding myself.
As I began reading, everything clicked.
Suddenly, my patterns, habits, and emotional reactions started to make more sense. Not in a superficial way, but at the root level.
I turned studying the chakras into a ritual. Each week I chose one chakra, lit a candle in its associated color, and spent time reading, journaling, and reflecting on what that energy center represented. I was genuinely shocked when I learned how much of my lived experience connected back to these energy centers.
I learned that my eating habits were connected to my root chakra and its themes of safety and security. I learned that specific physical symptoms often tied back to energy that was either excessive or deficient. Not “blocked,” but imbalanced. (I don’t subscribe to the idea of chakras being “blocked”. We simply have too much or too little flow, and the real work is bringing ourselves back into balance.)
Understanding myself in this deeper way gave me compassion for parts of me I used to judge. It also gave me direction. Once I understood the energetic root of certain behaviors or beliefs, I could identify exactly which chakra(s) needed support and how to care for myself.
This journey inspired me to create my 7-week course, “Get to Know Yourself Through the Chakra System,” and now, it’s inspiring something new…
