When you unblock your chakras, you allow energy to begin flowing once again. Within your human body, there are 7 energy positions called chakras. Each chakra represents your energetic connection with the physical and spiritual planes. When the chakras are open, energy can run through them freely, and harmony and balance will be created between the physical body, mind, and spirit. When clearing the chakras, it is important to focus on the lower chakras which are the closest to the physical plane and possess the traits of the physical world and work your way up to the highest and most spiritual chakra.
