You need to balance your... Upper Triangle
Namaste, friend! By completing this quiz, youāve proven you are motivated to balance your chakras and raise your vibrations! But first, youāve got to give some time to balancing your upper three chakras: Vishuddha (Throat), Ajna (Third Eye), and Sahasrara (Crown). The fifth chakra exists in the throat and is represented by the color blue. When itās imbalanced, you may have trouble speaking your truth and accessing self-expression. You may also suffer from sore throats, neck and shoulder pain, and feeling anxious about communication. The sixth chakra resides between the eyebrows and is represented by the color purple. It governs vision, intuition, and your connection to wisdom. When itās imbalanced, you may feel stuck in the day-to-day without being able to see the bigger picture, find it difficult to trust your intuition, and you may even reject the existence of the spiritual realm. You may also suffer from headaches, sinusitis, and poor vision.The seventh chakra is located at the top of the head and is represented by the color white. It gives you access to higher states of consciousness and drives you to connect with the divine. When it is imbalanced, you may feel uninspired, disconnected from your body and the earth, and you may even find it difficult to empathize with others. You may also suffer from neurological disorders, insomnia, depression, and migraines.The good news? Once you balance your upper triangle, energy will be more able to flow through your entire body and reconnect you to your own divinity. Read on for some easy and accessible tools to help you get those wheels spinning!āKnowing others is wisdom, knowing the self is enlightenment.ā ā Lao Tzu3 Steps You Can Take to Align and Strengthen Your Upper Triangle1. Practice Kapalbhati BreathingThis breath will give you more energy, light your inner fire and connect you more deeply with your body. Itāll also help you strengthen your lungs! Hereās how you do it:Place one hand on your belly and the other on your heart. Inhale fully and completely, filling your lungs from your belly, to your low ribs, all the way up to your heart and shoulders. Then exhale completely, feeling your belly move in towards your spine. Take a few full deep breaths.Next, try exhaling quickly through your mouth, in short bursts, like youāre trying to blow out a candle. Exhale by pulling the belling in and up. Inhale by relaxing the belly. Try this a few times until you get comfortable in the rhythm of the breath.Then, close your mouth but keep the same action, breathing through your nostrils. Keep your gaze soft, eyes closed, focused at the third eye. This breath can be done fast or slow. If you start to feel light headed, slow down and begin taking long deep breaths again.After 30 seconds to five minutes, exhale completely then inhale completely and simply sit in the seat of your awareness. Enjoy any sensations that come up.2. Sing!Singing or chanting is a great way to open the throat chakra AND it has been proven by modern science to also help to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, or the rest, digest, and heal response. And the more relaxed you become, the easier it will be to trust into your intuition and connect more deeply with both the earthly and the spiritual realms.Choose an uplifting song or ancient mantra and pour your heart into it. If youāre worried about what others may think of you, start by singing in your car, or in the shower, or even attending a Kundalini yoga class where youāll be very likely to be guided in a chanting meditation.If even that feels like too much, start by humming! Over time, your throat chakra will open, youāll feel much more relaxed, and youāll be more comfortable communicating your truth.3. Meditate!There are all sorts of meditations that you can choose from and any one of them will help you connect to your intuition and make it easier for you to sense the divine nature of all things.One easier meditation to start out with is Trataka, or strong gaze. My favorite way to practice Trataka is to light a candle in a dark room and place it at eye level. Sit comfortably on a cushion or a chair and gaze at the flickering light of the candle. Let your breath be gentle and let your mind become soft. Concentrate on the flame and allow the rest of the world to fade away into the background.You can set a timer for 5-30 minutes and simply give this time to yourself. If you become distracted by thoughts and stories, simply lovingly lead your attention back to the beautiful flickering of the light in front of you.With consistent practice over time, your mind will become more still and you will feel more connected to your vision, intuition, and sacred wisdom.Who am I to Teach You How to Balance Your Chakras?
