Since each energy centre is receiving and transmitting energy via our bodies, we may be able to improve our sense of wellbeing by changing the energies that are entering our bodies. Even though the effectiveness of such procedures is highly controversial and unsubstantiated, it never hurts to give it a go - you may find it beneficial.

"...let’s think of the body as a piano. It needs to be tuned properly or else it won’t sound right."

All energy that enters your body changes the appearance of your aura, depending on how open you are to outside energies. People who are being defensive are obvious to those who can see auras - it shrinks significantly instead of radiating when somebody is open and free.

For now let’s think of the body as a piano. It needs to be tuned properly or else it won’t sound right. In a similar way, each part of the body needs to be operating in balance with the other parts or else it won’t work as well as it could. Likewise, when each of your chakras are in balance, or finely tuned, you feel more in tune with the world around you.

Ways to improve the condition of different chakra include:

Yoga (different kinds are tailored towards different chakra)

Meditation(great for chakra 6 & 7)

Breathing exercises (breathing with diaphragm or breathing fresh air

Humming, singing, repeating a mantra or listening to music (for chakra 5)

Rest, lying down, enjoying quiet environment (chakra 6 and 7)

Laughter and creative pursuits (great for chakra 2)

Rubbing you stomach (for chakra 3)

Socializing, being compassionate and empathetic (useful for chakra 4 problems)

Love and tenderness towards close ones

Apart from the above techniques, you may also want to consider trying some of the other alternatives available. These include tuning forks that emit pure sound, which may be targetted to each chakra from 1 to 7 by striking notes at a pitch of C through B respectively.

Gemstones or crystals are also a great if unorthodox way to modify the waves of light reaching certain areas of your body. (Use red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet for chakra 1 through 7). Ingredients in food you cook yourself can also be modified to cater for the needs of different chakra.

In essence, there really is no limit to the ways you can help reach a healthy balance between your chakra. Which means there’s no excuse not to give a few of these suggestions a try ! So start today - you’ll never know how well it works if you don’t give it a go.
