Hidden Secrets of Your Chakras

“One of the simplest ways to relieve pain and suffering is to take better care of your chakras. What are your chakras? Your chakras are energy vortexes, both large and small, located throughout your body as well as your energy field. Many people have heard of their seven major chakras, but you have many others. Some energy medicine experts claim there are as many as 23 chakras located not just in your physical body but also throughout your energy field both above the crown of your head and below your feet. They are part of your pranamayakosha, or energy body, and regulate the well being of your physical body as well as the quality of vital energy you experience on a daily basis. When your chakras are open and balanced, they spin a clockwise direction. When you are unhealthy, your chakras may be closed or spinning in a counterclockwise direction.”

What You Need to Know About Your Chakras…

You’re probably aware that it’s a good idea to exercise regularly, eat right, sleep well and manage your stress. But who has ever told you that it’s also a good idea to balance your chakras? And why is this a really good idea anyway? Your chakras literally regulate the well being not only of your physical body but also your psychological experience. When you experience physical pain or mental suffering, there’s a 110 percent likelihood that a chakra that corresponds to the area in your body or your emotional process has been out of balance for some time. That’s because everything that happens to you occurs not just at the physical level, it also resonates throughout your energy body, emotional body, mental body and spiritual body. You have a stereophonic experience of life. When I do a medical intuitive reading, I look at:

  • Your primary operating chakra, which tells me the filter through which you experience life.
  • The chakra or chakras that are out of balance.

Here is a simple guide to the hidden secrets of your chakras from my Amazon No. 1 best seller, What Is Healing? Awaken Your Intuitive Power for Health and Happiness.

When you balance your chakras, you can cause huge changes throughout your entire well being. As you learn how to take better care of your energy body you can lessen your reliance on medication, experience greater vitality and connect more deeply to your guidance from your soul. When you are injured, sick or suffering in any way, you can get well faster by inquiring which of your chakras has been affected and using this simple guide to direct your self care.

  1. Thank you for passing this article on. I’m a Reiki practitioner, so I work with the main chakras, and many others in and around the body. I cleanse and release old, stagnant energies, and cut cords, daily however, after reading this article I think I need to revisit my base, sacral and solar plexus chakras and do some more intense clearing and balancing. I now recognise that the daily clearing may not have been enough, considering all the things that I’ve experienced in life over the last few years. If I don’t do that deeper clearing I can see myself just attracting more of the same. Thank you for this synchronistic reminder. Love & light

  2. Thank you so much for such a beautiful article on the chakras. I work with the Emotion Code and I see how important it is to balance the chakras and to understand how they work. Love and light to you

  3. Thank you from the center of my heart dear Steve Nobel, I needed more information on The Chakra System for my podcast and your article is such a beautiful gift, you are so wonderful and generous God bless you always

  4. Thank you so much! Do you have a recording/transmission to clear & activate the main chakras? I’d be very grateful if you do, would you direct me to find it?

    I want to tell you how much you have helped me. You are a gift to me all of us.

    You have helped me clear so many low frequencies and helped me find my divinity and unique light. You are such a blessing ❤️
