Heal Your Chakras! With Delicious Smoothies!
Our Chakras are the energy centers of the body. The word is Sanskrit in origin and means “Wheels”. They are located in the astral body, along the spine, starting at its base and running upwards to the crown of the head. The astral body is the energy body residing inside our physical body. We have a physical body, and a non physical body, or subtle body. Each physical body part has a corresponding astral body part. The astral body cannot be seen or touched. This is also a reason why we cannot see the chakras.
The chakras radiate a specific colour and energy. Each one coincides with a gland in the physical body. Since each chakra relates to specific spiritual, emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of our being, it is believed that their blockage or malfunction can lead to physical, psychological, and emotional disorders. The conscious awareness and balancing of these energy centers, on the other hand, is believed to lead to well-being and good health.
When visualizing chakras and becoming aware of them, they are commonly symbolized as flowers opening up, or whirling discs, to help encourage and manipulate the flow of energy through them. Visualizing, mantras, and yoga postures, are all ways to be able to open up and increase the flow of energy through the chakras, which increase our vitality and physical health, open up our intuition and spiritual experiences, and improve both our inner and outer experiences. ( As within, so without). Foods are also a good way to help heal and open up your spiritual centers. When looking for foods to heal your chakras, look for the corresponding colour to the chakra of focus.
These are nutritious and delicious! You will be sure to enjoy.
