SIX SIGNS YOUR CHAKRAS ARE MISALIGNED

Is your body trying to tell you something? If things are feeling like they aren't in synergy with each other, maybe it's time to listen. In yoga, chakras are believed to be energy centers within the body, and these energy centers govern various aspects of both physical and mental health. When these chakras are misaligned, this can manifest as physical illness or mental blocks. Feeling more than off? Here are six signs that your chakras are misaligned:

1. Overwhelming Fatigue: Struggling with an exhaustion you just can't shake? You may have imbalanced chakras in the lower areas (root, sacral, and solar plexus). Imbalanced chakras in these regions can lead to feelings of low energy, a lack of passion and motivation, and generally a feeling of not being tethered to anything.

2. Erratic Feelings: Your emotions are unpredictable. You swing from anger, to sadness, to isolation without fully being able to explain why those feelings are so intense or why they are there at all. Emotional volatility can be a sign that your body needs to regulate itself.

3. Brain Fog: Your crown and third eye chakras govern thought and consciousness. A sudden lack of clarity or feelings of fogginess can affect thinking and judgement. If your brain feels like it's taking too long to buffer, you may have blockages in these areas.

4. Feeling Disconnected: When you are disconnected, you feel separated from the things that ground you - your loved ones, your job, your goals, and yourself. Feeling unmoored is a disconcerting feeling that leaves you questioning your intuition and stalling to make decisions.

5. Chronic Pain: Pay attention to these spots. Is it lower back pain? Shoulder or chest pain? Migraines? Frequent tensions in these spots will tell you which chakra is imbalanced.

6. Loss of Creativity: The things you were once passionate about you no longer have enthusiasm for. If the spark is missing and you can't get it going again, this could be an imbalance in the lower body or in the head.

The body and mind are interconnected. Mental, physical, and spiritual health affect each other - define each other. When one suffers the other systems suffer too. Always make sure you are in tune with your body's needs.
