Imagine a pristine river winding and branching into smaller and smaller divergent tributaries. A fallen tree of rockslide will cause the water to overflow into surrounding areas and ultimately divert or even cut off vital water to the areas below the blockage. The water is unable to flow freely down its original path, and the entire ecosystem downstream is affected. This is similar to what happens inside the human body when energy is trapped.

The Little Book of Energy Healing Techniques: Simple Practices to Heal Body, Mind, and Spirit by Karen Frazier

Learning how to heal yourself energetically is one of the most amazing skills that you can acquire. After all the different energies within you are what makes you whole, what makes you - you. And from those energies within, the chakras are a big chunk of it. This wonderful book is filled with deep explanations about the chakras, the energies within, the blockages that occur and how they can hinder you in creating your own damn magic.

Filled with a lot of energy healing techniques, for beginner practitioners and for more advanced ones as well, a lot of resources that can be helpful to understand more, as well as a lot of exercises, rituals and activities that you can use for healing yourself and others energetically. 

Energy healing treats you as an interdependent energetic system comprising the physical (body and mind) and the etheric (emotions and spirit). It seeks to balance physical and etheric energy so you can achieve a higher vibrational state, expressed as better overall health. When disease occurs, the energy healer seeks to correct imbalances. In this process, you are essential to your own care. Healers facilitate or channel healing energy, but it’s ultimately up to you to engage meaningfully in the energy balancing practices.

Essential Chakra Yoga: Poses to Balance, Heal, and Energize the Body and Mind by Christina D'Arrigo

Have  you ever exercised yoga and felt like you are on top of the world? That’s because yoga is a practice that was developed specifically to balance the energies within, and to help them flow steadily and in order within. Which is why practicing specific yoga asanas, can be an amazing way to return balance and improve energy flow in your chakras as well. This lovely book guides you through different asanas to help you return balance to your chakras, as well as teaching you more about them. Definitely a must read!

Each chakra has multiple layers of energy, which work together to contribute to the chakras overall health. The chakras are interconnected and work together as a collective unit. If one chakra is out of balance, it is likely that the others around it are compensating for that imbalance. It is very important to pay attention to the chakras and acknowledge their presence in your body to avoid imbalances and blockages in multiple areas.

It is not until we experience difficulties in breathing that we begin to really appreciate how precious the breath is. We can live for around 56 days without food, about 12 days without oxygen, prana and ether – we must have approximately every three minutes. Without air the electrical system that forms our fire energy, centered in or brain, quickly dies. Then we are termed “brain-dead”. But what if we only half-breathe all our lives – what does that do to us? Perhaps that is why yoga teaches specific breathing techniques, to increase the pranic flow through our subtle and physical body systems. The object of yoga is not to make the body better per se, but to make it a suitable ‘house’ for our spirit.
