How to Unblock Chakras for Better Health

Using yoga postures to create alignment in your physical body is an excellent way to improve chakra balance and fine-tune its energy. A balanced diet is another simple method to swiftly open your chakras and promote good energy flow. Focus on eating clean, whole, and colorful foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and water. Meditation and breathing techniques might also help you gain mental clarity.

Let’s take a look at each of the seven chakras individually. For each chakra, here are some of the greatest foods, oils, crystals, and yoga positions to help you unblock it!

Root Chakra

The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is linked to general well-being and being centered, grounded, and in touch with the earth. If your root chakra is blocked, you are likely to feel disconnected from your environment and may experience anxiety, stress, and a lack of self-esteem. Get grounded with “root vegetables” and look for red-colored food as a guide to match the chakra color. Look for tomatoes, chilies, beets, radishes, strawberries, garlic, onions, carrots, parsnips, carrots, and carrots.

Look for crystals that are black or red to help unblock the root chakra and place a small crystal over your lower back or soles of feet while resting, meditating, or bathing. Massage gently on feet with nutmeg to unblock chakra, patchouli, and vetiver to calm overactive, and bergamot to maintain healthy functioning. Poses and positions include Child’s pose, standing forward bend, bridge pose, and reclining bound angle pose.

Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra is associated with sexuality and connection and is located two inches below the navel. Any barrier here is likely to limit your social joy, especially if it occurs in a creative or sexual situation. Bright orange foods like oranges, pumpkins, mangoes, papaya, honey, and cantaloupe can help to clear this chakra.

Massage oils like spicy cardamom can help to unblock chakras, ylang-ylang and neroli can help to soothe overactive chakras, and sweet orange and sandalwood can help to keep them healthy. To unblock the sacral chakra, look for crystals that are orange or red. Cobra pose, Hip Opener positions, Pigeon pose, and Frog pose are all yoga poses.

Solar Plexus Chakra

This chakra, which is located in the stomach area, is associated with self-worth, self-esteem, and confidence. When you have a blocked solar plexus chakra, you may feel powerless, useless, and insecure, as well as stomach aches, weakness, and worry. Yellow foods like bananas, pineapple, apricots, corn, and cheese can help to clear this chakra.

Yellow calcite, yellow quartz, citrine, and gold tiger’s eye are some of the crystals to look for due to their healing energy. Warrior pose, Bow pose, Boar posture, Spine twists, and backbends are some of the poses that might assist unblock this chakra. You can also gently massage eucalyptus and juniper berry oils into the stomach area.

Heart Chakra

The heart chakra is in charge of emotions such as joy, love, compassion, and empathy. When it is blocked, you may feel empty, lost, or unable to let go. Green vegetables help unblock this particular chakra. Broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, spinach, and lentils are all great options.

Oils should be massaged lightly on the breastbone or the center of the back. To assist in unblocking the heart chakra, look for crystals that are pink or green in color. When relaxing, meditating, or bathing, place a tiny crystal near or around this chakra. Poses like the Eagle pose, Camel pose, backbends, and shoulder stretches open up the body and strengthen the core, lungs, rib cage, and arms/hands.

Throat Chakra

The throat chakra is closely tied to communication, and if it is blocked, you may be dishonest or bashful. A blocked throat chakra can also be caused by underlying physical disorders such as a sore throat or thyroid issues. Anxiety, sadness, and self-loathing are all symptoms of a blocked chakra.

This chakra is related to the color blue, thus we recommend eating colorful foods like blueberries, blackberries, kelp, dragon fruit, ginseng, and wheatgrass to unclog it. Spray oils such as lemon or Roman chamomile on the chest and neck area to relax overworked nerves and coriander seed to maintain healthy functioning.

Look for blue-colored crystals to help unblock the heart chakra, and place a small crystal at or surrounding this chakra. Look for postures that strengthen the shoulders, neck, and jaw, such as the Bridge position, Plow stance, Fish pose, and Shoulder stand.

Third Eye Chakra

Physical symptoms of a blocked third eye chakra system include impaired vision and sinus headaches. The pineal gland is associated with visualizations, dreams, higher consciousness, perception, and oneness. A blocked chakra can cause dizziness, disorientation, gullibility, and difficulties making decisions.

This chakra is deep indigo and violet, so eating foods that are a vivid purple will help stimulate it. Apply oil to the forehead to unclog chakras, German chamomile to soothe overactive chakras, and frankincense and sandalwood to maintain good functioning.

To help unblock the third eye chakra, look for crystals that are blue or purple in hue and place a small crystal precisely between your eyes on your forehead while lying down and meditating. While performing the pose supported forward bends, concentrate on pleasant visualizations, images, and optimistic imagery.

Crown Chakra

A blocked crown chakra can make a person feel abandoned or disconnected from God, a higher force, or the spiritual realm. It may also cause a person to become too obsessed with material goods. Tension headaches and migraines are common accompanying physical disorders.

No food may be the best food for unblocking this chakra. Fasting with lots of water, as well as exposure to nature and fresh air, are all options. This allows the body to clean itself. Simply diffuse scents such as spicy sweet lavandin to unblock chakra, neroli, or vanilla to relax overworked nerves, and frankincense to sustain healthy functioning in a neighboring room.

To help unblock the crown chakra, look for crystals that are white, clear, or purple. While lying down and meditating, place a little crystal on top of your head. Clear quartz, diamond, amethyst, moonstone, and selenite are examples of crystals to look for.
