11 Ways to Realign Your Chakras

Feeling off balance, mentally foggy, or stuck in a rut? These could be signs that your chakras are out of alignment. Chakras — the body’s energy centres — are affected by everything from seasonal shifts and lunar cycles to emotional stress and physical fatigue. When one or more of them become blocked, the flow of energy is disrupted, leading to mental, physical, and spiritual imbalance.

The good news? You don’t have to be a Reiki master to restore harmony. Here are 11 practical ways to realign your chakras and bring balance back into your life.

1. Ignite a Stick of Incense

The root chakra is associated with the sense of smell. Ground yourself by burning earthy incense like cedar. Sit in a grounded posture and breathe deeply — allowing the scent to anchor you to the present moment.

2. Get Grounded with Gemstones

Gemstones offer unique energetic properties. Orange calcite helps balance the sacral chakra, while lapis lazuli supports the crown chakra. You can hold them, wear them, or place them directly on the chakra for targeted healing.

3. Light a Salt Lamp

Himalayan salt lamps purify the air, promote better sleep, and energetically cleanse your space. A warm golden glow supports the solar plexus chakra — helping boost confidence and personal power.

4. Take a Yoga Class

Yoga postures naturally open energy channels. Hip openers help activate the lower chakras; backbends can stimulate the heart chakra. Twists and core work are excellent for clearing blockages in the solar plexus.

5. Sip Some Tea

Herbal teas blended for specific chakras can soothe and energise. For example, a throat chakra tea blend may promote clear communication and creative expression.

6. Experiment with Essential Oils

Essential oils, when inhaled or applied topically, can uplift your spirit and soothe emotional turbulence. Lavender is ideal for calming the mind and aligning the third-eye chakra.

7. Recite a Mantra

Mantra meditation is a powerful way to direct energy. Try chanting "Om" for the crown chakra, or use the bija mantras associated with each chakra to harmonise your inner world.

Chakra Bija Mantras:

1. Root (Muladhara): Lam

2. Sacral (Svadisthana): Vam

3. Solar Plexus (Manipura): Ram

4. Heart (Anahata): Yam

5. Throat (Vishuddha): Ham

6. Third Eye (Ajna): Sham

7. Crown (Sahasrara): Om

8. Connect with Nature

Nature naturally rebalances our energy. Spend time outdoors with intention — the sun energises the solar plexus; water nourishes the sacral chakra; the air soothes the heart. Align your outdoor activity with the element your chakra needs.

9. Practice Pranayama

Breathing exercises like box breathing and alternate nostril breathing help harmonise energy flow. These techniques soothe the nervous system, boost mental clarity, and realign chakras from root to crown.

10. Meditate with Visualisation

Visualisation meditation helps awaken and cleanse the chakras. Picture each chakra glowing in its associated colour and imagine the petals of a lotus blossom unfurling as energy flows freely.

Chakra Colours:

1. Root – Red

2. Sacral – Orange

3. Solar Plexus – Yellow

4. Heart – Green

5. Throat – Blue

6. Third Eye – Indigo

7. Crown – Violet or White

   
   

11. Incorporate Colour Therapy

Surround yourself with colours linked to the chakra you wish to balance. Wear red for grounding, green for heart healing, or blue for expression. Colour can be a subtle but powerful ally in energy work.
