There are many ways, from yoga, meditation to mind-body techniques, that can help balance your chakras. But first, do you know if you're out of balance?

When you work on the chakras that are closed or weak, you'll be directly influencing that particular area of your life, for example, finances, sex life, self-esteem, compassion, expression, intuition and spirituality.

Are your finances in trouble? Are you feeling insecure? Do you need to perform better at work and get that raise or promotion? Strengthen your Root or 1st Chakra.

Do you want to spice up your sex life or feel more passionate and creative? Unblock your Sacral or 2nd Chakra.

Want to feel more self-confident and powerful in achieving your goals? Strengthen your Solar Plexus or 3rd Chakra.

Want to feel more love, be able to forgive past grievances, and connect better with your spouse, kids, friends and co-workers? Work on your 4th or Heart Chakra.

Afraid of public speaking? Want to be able to express your truth and be understood? Balance your 5th or Throat Chakra.

Want more inspiration on which path you should take in life? Want to increase your intuition and psychic abilities? Open your 6th or Third Eye Chakra.

Want to feel at one with all there is? Have more peace, harmony and connection to spirit? Work on your 7th or Crown Chakra.

If you want to get balanced, get centered, get energized, get relaxed, get inspired, get clear, get connected, get going... chakra healing can be your answer. When your chakras are balanced, your life will also feel balanced.

When we learn to balance our chakras, we learn to craft our lives the way we want them to be, rather than living in constant reaction to forces outside of us.

These spirals of energy are wheels that heal, feeding the body good energy and relieving it of that we do not want. Chakras cannot be held, stroked or bottled up like a genie, yet our physical bodies soak them up thirstily and they profoundly affect our metabolism, emotions, sensations and behaviors. In addition to their roles in the physical realm, chakras work on a higher plane, waking us to the realization that our body, mind and spirit are forever and inextricably linked.

If you want an "instant" healing technique for Chakra Balancing, Dynamind can hold the answer. Dynamind is the ultimate healing secret to balancing your life in just minutes a day. I learned this technique from Serge Kahili King, Ph.D., during a Hawaii Health Getaway, and have applied it very successfully to chakra balancing.

Whether you experience pain, illness or stress, or just want to enhance your energy, you'll want to learn and practice this simple-yet-profound technique. Dynamind can be used to heal a wide range of dis-ease.

You simply state out loud what you want to change - the problem or pain - and tap, breathe deeply and feel the body tension causing your discomfort melt away. The concept is that by physically touching four major points on your body while reciting specific statements, you're able to take a deep breath and release tension causing disruption in your body's healing energy. It may sound simple, but the results are often deeply transformative.

Complete Dynamind instructions for Chakra Healing can be found in my recently published books, Chakra Secrets and Balance Your Chakras, Balance Your Life.
Namaste!

I learned the Dynamind Technique for healing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dis-ease from Hawaiian shaman, Serge Kahili King, Ph.D.  Dynamind is a combination of words, breath and movements that work together to release any tension causing imbalances in your chakras and your life.

THE CROWN CHAKRA
Located at the top of the head, the seventh chakra, the Crown Chakra, connects us to spirit, the Divine and cosmic consciousness.

It transcends the physical and enters the realm of pure thought or higher consciousness. It vibrates with the energy of the color violet or diamond white.

Physical health issues commonly associated with the Crown Chakra include hypersensitivity to light, sound and the environment, cerebral and central nervous system disorders, and chronic exhaustion. Emotional or mental health issues include a feeling of aloneness or detachment, worry, depression, a loss of meaning, and psychoses.

When the Crown Chakra is balanced, you feel on the path to your destiny, an enhanced sense of spirituality, access to the subconscious, and a sense of calm and peace.

USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE CROWN CHAKRA:

1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position.

2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g.,

“I feel separate and alone and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away.”

“My nerves are frayed and I know that can change. I want my hypersensitivity to noise to go away.”

If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Crown Chakra, with a declaration such as:



“I’m not as peaceful and calm as I want to be. I want to be more aware of the beauty all around me.”

3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra).

4) BREATHE – Direct your breath, inhaling with your attention on the crown of your head, exhaling with your attention below your feet.

Repeat until you feel the desired result.

Sharon Gannon presents a beautiful yoga flow series in CHAKRA BALANCING YOGA, a DVD that takes you through poses to balance the seven major chakras. The flow may be a little hard to follow if you're new to the poses, but you can take it at your own pace and still benefit. The parts I appreciated the most were the mantras and the forgiveness/blessing affirmations that she includes with each pose, bringing in the power of words, sound and thought to heal our energy centers.

For instance, for the Root Chakra, Sharon leads you in gratitude and blessings for your home and those who raised you, your father and mother, and for the career and the earth that support you. For the Sacral Chakra, she leads you in blessing and forgiveness toward romantic or creative enterprises that are still unresolved. Then, when we move to the Solar Plexus Chakra, she guides us in sending blessings to those you may have hurt, to rebuild respect for yourself and others. For the Heart Chakra, blessings and forgiveness are for those who have hurt you and caused your heart to be blocked to the flow of love and compassion. For the Throat Chakra, Sharon guides us in releasing negativity and cynicism and opening oneself to communicating as a holy being. For the Third Eye Chakra, we bless our teachers and gurus and our relationship with the divine. For the Crown Chakra, we release all doubt and bless our divinity, knowing we are student, guru and god.

Beautiful music is played throughout, calming the nervous system and uplifting your energy. Glimpses of the musicians are interspersed, and the DVD ends with Sharon playing the Harmonium. A wonderful 55-minute yoga session. If you'd like to order this DVD, go to our "Recommendations" page.

Namaste!

“It is a wonderful chakra meditation. I did it last night and felt grounded and complete for the first time in a while. I highly recommend this book and mp3 file to anyone interested in working with chakras.” ~ Dawn “Belladonna” Thomas, www.globalgoddess.org

“I turn on this meditation at the end of yoga classes during Savasana. It’s a soothing ten-minute tune-up for the chakra centers.” ~ Karen Joy, Open Heart Practice

The Chakra Meditations are a short, but powerful, guided visualization, taking you from the root chakra to the crown. Thoughts and images are energy forms themselves, and have the power to move your energy into balance. Feel free to read these meditations for yourself, to a class, or to download my version accompanied by Aryeh David’s “Love’s Whispers” music on my Meditations page.

THE ROOT CHAKRA
Inhale deeply, hold your breath and then exhale. Bring your attention to the base of your spine. Visualize a red whirling ball of energy there. See the red getting brighter and stronger as it goes down both your legs – filling every cell with invigorating energy. Let it flow out through your feet into the center of the earth. Let the healing red energy form deep roots anchoring you, holding you safe and secure. Know that you belong on this earth. With a deep breath, draw up the healing energy of Mother Earth into your root chakra. Feel the security, strength and comfort of belonging here in your chosen place.

THE SACRAL CHAKRA
Inhale deeply, hold your breath and then exhale. The red whirling ball of energy moves up to the center of your pelvis and turns into a beautiful orange color. This second chakra is related to the element water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Listen to the gentle, flowing music and begin to move with it, allowing your body to relax into it and flow with it. Let go of any pain or tension. Be aware of every sensation in your body. Enjoy them. Allow yourself to become part of the music of life.

THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
Inhale deeply, hold your breath and then exhale. The vortex of energy moves up to your navel and turns bright yellow, right at your core. Breathe in and out of your core, building up the power of your center. Be open to the vitality, purpose and majesty of this bright yellow fire of life. Know that you can use this power to heal old pain and to remove old wounds. Breathe in and out of the flames of this inner sun and feel your body radiate with new purpose, wisdom and strength.

THE HEART CHAKRA
Feel the yellow sacral chakra light travel up the spine to the center of your chest, the home of the heart chakra. Breathe in and out a beautiful emerald green, with love, joy and compassion for other people and yourself. Feel any tension blocking the flow here, shutting off or shutting out love. Any anger or fear is past, it can be healed. When you let it go, you’ll feel your true essence of love and joy. To send forgiveness, wrap those people who have caused you pain in the bright green light, cleansing and healing the situation. Release yourself and them from any negative connections, only keeping the good. Let go of anger to have space for love to grow. Now, with love and compassion, wrap yourself and your whole life experience in healing green light.

THE THROAT CHAKRA
The healing green light of the heart chakra moves up the spine to the throat, where it becomes a beautiful sky blue. Breathe in the blue light, then fill your lungs and let your throat open wide and sing whatever tone or note feels right… AAAH!  You know what to say and what not to say, how to communicate well. Feel yourself singing out clear energy, loving notes, healing vibrations for yourself and the entire universe. Make yourself heard and listen well to the love that returns to you.

THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA
The color blue travels up to the third eye, the chakra of intuition, and turns an indigo color. Here we return to the magic of childhood, to unlimited possibilities, to skills we have always had but which were pushed out of sight. Now we are reintroduced to our true vision, as we breathe in and out the color indigo. We begin to awaken and clarify our inner vision and to have a clear picture of what we want our lives to be. We also awaken to a different kind of seeing, clairvoyance or clear sight, that allows us to look inside and beyond the limits of time and space.

THE CROWN CHAKRA
As we move up to the spiritual chakra at the crown of the head, the color indigo turns to violet. All we have learned and healed through the lower six chakras merges and travels up the spine, creating a purple color. Here we open ourselves to awareness of the divine and our highest consciousness. Focus on breathing in the violet light, relaxing, letting go. Keeping your focus on the crown of your head, allow the chakra to open, visualizing it as a crown of light above your head. Feel it expanding and opening to the wonder and radiance of spirit. Send love up and out the crown chakra and then welcome its return in a beam of light that pours down through your whole being. Let the energy flow through you and around you and embrace totality.

Breathe in the power and the healing. Imagine a rainbow of light pouring down your body, from your crown chakra down to your root chakra, enveloping you in harmony with everything above and below and around you.

Namaste!

I learned Dynamind from Huna Healer Serge Kahili King, PhD. It can be used to quickly and simply resolve tension that is blocking chakras, creating physical, emotional and spiritual dis-ase. Dynamind is similar to EFT, but uses just four simple tapping movements, in concert with breath and words, to release blocked energy flow.

Usind Dynamind to balance the Heart Chakra can bring forth more love and compassion in your life….

Located at the center of the chest, the fourth chakra, the Heart Chakra, represents selfless love and devotion, kindness, empathy and compassion. It vibrates with the energy of the color green.

Physical health issues commonly associated with the Heart Chakra include cardiovascular problems including hypertension, stroke, respiratory ailments, upper back and shoulder pain.

Emotional or mental health issues include anger or resentment, jealousy, suspicion, possessiveness, fear of commitment, lasting grief, sorrow, depression.

When the Heart Chakra is balanced, you feel free to give and receive love in all its expressions – passion, caring, rapport, understanding, empathy, compassion and forgiveness.

USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE HEART CHAKRA

1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position.

2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g,

“I feel sad and depressed and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away.”

“I have tightness and pain in my back and I know that can change. I want that pain to go away.”

If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Heart Chakra, with a declaration such as:

“I’m not as caring as I want to be. I want to nurture and reach out to others like the wind blowing through the leaves of a tree.”

3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra).

4) BREATHE – Direct your breath, inhaling with your attention on the crown of your head, exhaling with your attention below your feet.

Repeat until you feel the desired result.

While simple to use, Dynamind has been found effective at releasing painful physical, emotional and mental problems. Serge Kahili King documents the use of Dyamind in his book, Healing for the Millions, available at http://www.Huna.org.

Are you feeling strong, determined and decisive? Are you confident you will achieve your goals? The balanced Solar Plexus Chakra will be your best friend in achieving success.


Located at the navel, the third chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra, is the focal point of our identity, self-esteem and vitality. This chakra center governs how you assert your personal power, follow your gut instincts, take risks and make decisions. It vibrates with the energy of the color golden yellow.

Physical health issues commonly associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra include digestive problems including food allergies or leaky gut syndrome or candidiasis, low or high blood sugar, liver problems, gallstones and adrenal exhaustion.

Emotional or mental health issues include anger, poor self image, indecision, apathy, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and powerlessness.

When the Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced, you are confident, with a strong sense of purpose/mission in your life. You are self-directed, self-confident and self-empowered.

USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA

This unique mind-body tool is similar to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), but I’ve found it to be much simpler to use, yet as effective. It was developed by Hawaiian healer Serge Kahili King, PhD, founder of Huna.org and Aloha International.

1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position.

2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g.,

“I feel exhausted and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away.”

“I have stomach cramps and I know that can change. I want that pain to go away.”

If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Solar Plexus Chakra, with a declaration such as:

“I’m not as confident and energetic as I want to be. I want the fire in my belly to produce more power in my life.”

3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra).

4) BREATHE – Direct your breath, inhaling with your attention on the crown of your head, exhaling with your attention below your feet.

Repeat until you feel the desired result.

As a preview to my upcoming book, Chakra Secrets, I’m offering complete instructions on using Dynamind as a tool for Chakra Healing.

Namaste!
