The chakras (the word literally means energy wheels) are lined up along the center line, or meridian, of a person’s body according to ancient Vedic thought.
What is Chakra
If you want to learn about the concept of chakra balance you have to understand chakra’s in general first. Chakras are our energy stations or centers. Chakras are your openings in your body for life energy to flow in and out of your aura.
Chakras are focal points of energy within the body that each and every person has. Whether we realize it or not, our chakras impact and affect our reality and they either help us completely experience life (when they are aligned and balanced) or they prevent us from enjoying life (when they are blocked or out of balance).
You come home after a long day at work. You are tired, maybe a little stressed. Relaxing would be nice option or even better yet, how about a massage? Unfortunately, my house did not come with masseuse service. However, there is another option: A shiatsu massage chair. There is no appointment necessary, all you have to do is sit down, get comfortable, lean back, put the footrest up and push the start button. Ah, that feels great!
At the outset, let me share a secret that very few people in the world know (and if they know, they dont acknowledge it!). All the human beings have a huge reservoir of energy, large enough to make sure that our physical and mental health always remains upbeat. This secret is a commonplace among large Hindu and Buddhist population in India and other parts of the world, for most Americans and Europeans, this is an invaluable piece of information, which theyd like to explore further.
Shiatsu massage has been a tradition in Japan for centuries. The literal meaning of shiatsu is finger pressure. Using this finger pressure was found to help regulate and control energy flow throughout the body. The fine art and tradition of shiatsu has been passed to today’s massage therapists. The shiatsu massage therapy relieves aches and pains while increasing alertness. Japan also gave rise to massage chairs which were developed along with Japanese technological advancement. These massage chair recliners replicate many of the techniques and movements of a shiatsu master.
Hindu teachings tell us that the chakras are the important energy centers which are present in every human being. Our chakras are the places at which energy flows through our body. The proper flow of this energy is vital to maintaining our physical, mental and emotional health. You can’t actually see your chakras, but you can see their physical manifestation; major components of our endocrine systems.
A consequence of modern science has been the eradication from peoples minds of the survival and significance of the spiritual being within the physical being.
Considering the various environmental, physical and metaphysical influences our chakras are subjected to on a regular basis, it becomes a necessity for us to engage in chakra cleansing. Attaining balance and harmony between the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being requires regular chakra cleansing in order to maintain harmony and continually rebuild our energy systems. The importance of chakra cleansing can not be understated because all phases of our life are interconnected and should work as one for beneficial and energetic living.
