Signs your Energy Centers(chakras) are out of balance.
Do you have those days where you are completely drained or just feel ‘off’ and out of balance, and you just can’t explain it? You can’t seem to focus at work, you turn the coffee maker on but forget to put water in it, or lose your keys when you normally always put them in the same spot. When you feel like your energy is off kilter, it literally is. On the flip side, you have those days where you feel on top of the world. You’re happy, and everything seems to be running smoothly and you think, “Wow, today is a great day!” This is when your energy is more in alignment.
Daily stresses of life and previous unprocessed trauma can begin to take a toll on your overall energy. Energetic wellness is the key to life! It’s essential to understand your energy and how to recognize when your energy is out of balance. Each Chakra is associated with nerve bundles, glands and organs in particular areas of your body and can impact your physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. Stagnation or lack of positive energy flow can cause emotional and physical manifestations throughout the body. If you have been feeling “off” and can’t quite pinpoint why, it may be time to take a look at your Energy Centers (chakras.)
