Which spiritual practices help to naturally increase our energy flow to the chakras?


There are many techniques or practices which can help to improve the flow of energy, Chi or prana to the chakra system and it is advised to choose whichever is best suited to you and your life style as all have their own individual benefits but here are some examples that you may find particularly beneficial.
The benefits of yoga are traditionally well known including increasing flexibility and strengthening the body, but more importantly when it comes to the chakras yoga consists of many different movements or poses known as Asanas which when combined with breathing techniques known as pranayama and the inner focus known as meditation encourage the flow of energy to the body ,in addition to this the 8 limbs of yoga and their corresponding beliefs when practised in a specific order encourage us to lead a more productive and purposeful life, therefore encouraging the chakras to open and stay balanced.
Pranayama is not only the practice of controlling the breath in yoga but is also a specific method which teaches us to breathe more effectively, as the level of oxygen is increased through inhalation, our bodies naturally aid in cleansing and recharging the chakra system in as little as 30 minutes each day.
Tai chi is a form of Chinese martial arts which combines deep rhythmic breathing and relaxation with specific movements which although slow and focussed, are flowing and promote optimum health,
because tai chi encourages us to feel grounded energy is therefore able to flow more effectively throughout the body and the chakra system to promote wellbeing and healing.
Meditation and mindfulness are essential to restore calm and focus to an over active mind and yet the benefits of chakra meditation which when consistently practiced for at least 20 minutes on a daily basis include an increased energy flow, better concentration and an overall sense of peace and wellbeing throughout the mind and body.
Dance and movement not only help us to feel good but also enables us to connect with every chakra in our body with each one having its own unique quality which is actively stimulated during movement, we are also able to connect strongly to our sense of grounding and our roots, helping to not only retune our entire chakra system but also to reconnect within ourselves.
Finally, our diet plays a huge part in the way we feel, think and how our bodies are able to perform and this is no different when it relates to the chakra system as the type of food we eat will either encourage the optimum release of energy from the body or cause illness depending entirely on our dietary choices over a long period of time. A healthy and balanced diet therefore is always preferable to promote health and wellbeing in all aspects of our lives.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
