Did You Know Your Energy Centers Can Slow Aging?

Your energy centers are located along the spine, starting down low, right above the pelvic floor. Each energy center or "chakra" governs a specific area of your body and certain aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. If there is illness, pain or an imbalance in the body, the energy center that governs the area of the problem is always involved. There are no exceptions. 

When there is inflammation, there is decline, or aging. You have the ability to increase and purify the flow of energy that moves through you and manages inflammation. When your energy centers are in balance, healing energy can flow through you to move energy out of an area where it is congested or chaotic, into an area that might feel stuck or sluggish. This is a signal that the intelligence of your body can communicate with ease, and is offering information, sending stem cells, cooling acidity, rehydrating, and renewing the systems and features that need it--whether you are aware of this need or not.

Balance is the key. For example, if you are a creative person at a time in your life when you're productive, sleeping well, and feeling calm; your second chakra or center of creativity (down low in the belly) is likely balanced and in sync. But, if you get angry or annoyed and close it down--you could throw off your chakra balance. This might cause you to feel like your creative juices are blocked. You may begin to feel more anxious and disconnected. That's just one example of how important it is to keep your energy centers in balance.

Chakra balancing can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which are known to accelerate the aging process. Here are a few simple lifestyle choices that help to balance the energy that is moving through you:

• Yoga
• Meditation
• Deep stretching exercises
• Breath work
• Keeping a journal
• EFT tapping

The energy that moves though you keeps you alive, and when you balance and contain the flow of that energy, you reduce inflammation in the body. You also raise your vibration and that feels like joy!

Have a nice summer day! I'll see you in face yoga.

Love & health,
