We have been equipped and blessed with a number of senses which help in sensing danger, being aware of one’s surroundings, and other day-to-day matters. The 5 basic senses – touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell – are necessary to sustain and experience life but the other senses and “energy centers” are what help us lead a life of quality. All our lives, we’ve been hearing about how to activate our chakras and how getting their system aligned would make our journey on Earth significantly better. We’ve learned about different techniques and exercises that help in that regard. But is having them aligned really enough? Is it possible that your 100% balanced and aligned 12-chakra system could get unbalanced and misaligned in the future? The simple answer is, yes, it’s quite possible for your energy centers to get misaligned once again if you don’t “maintain” and “upgrade” them!
So it is useless dwelling on the question, “wasn’t getting my 12-chakra system aligned in the first place enough?” While it sounds tedious to continue working on improving your chakras and the abilities associated with them, in the long run, it really pays off. What’s more is that in time, it will become a part of your routine and won’t seem like much!
In the meantime, in this article, I’m going to throw light on the art of maintaining and upgrading your chakras. Let’s start!
Maintaining Your Chakra System
If not maintained properly, your chakra system can lose its balance and not operate the way it is supposed to. Keep your chakras in tip-top condition with the following tips:
Meditation is the key that can unlock several doors leading to spiritual guidance and fulfillment. The simple act of clearing your mind and spending some time alone can do wonders for you, spiritually. Meditation is a proven remedy for blocked up chakras which can cause discomfort, confusions, feelings of being lost, and other complications that can get in the way of you leading your life in the best way possible. Think of your chakra system as a machine with gears and meditation like a lube which keeps things up and running by reducing friction. So, take a little time out to meditate to keep those gears in optimal condition!
Another great technique used for chakra healing and maintenance is reciting positive affirmations on a daily basis! Affirmations can help you overcome all the fears, obstacles, and blockages stopping you from achieving spiritual fulfillment and attracting the limitless wealth of the universe. The best thing about affirmations is that you can make one for each chakra. For example, for your heart chakra, your affirmation could be something along the lines of “I spread and receive love unconditionally.” There are no hard and fast rules concerning your affirmations, except for one: they must be positive and spiritually comforting to you.

Take Help from Color Vibration
It is a scientifically proven fact that each color has a certain frequency and wavelength. This goes to show that every color literally vibrates! Exposing ourselves to these vibrations can actually affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I always advise my clients to use the power of color to balance/rebalance their chakra system. Try absorbing the colors around you by either looking at them or wearing them.
Bonus tip: Use a separate color for each chakra to get the maximum benefits and keep your complete system absolutely maintained!
Chakra stones are special crystals that emit a certain power and vibrate with varying frequencies. People who keep chakra stones with them at all times and believe in their power tend to never lose control or balance of their chakras! You can either wear them around your neck or place them on your energy centers while you meditate to experience their maximum effects.
Upgrading Your Chakra System
From time to time, we like to upgrade our phones and software to take advantage of what the latest technology has to offer. The same is the case with your chakra system – if you don’t upgrade it frequently, you will find yourself lagging behind! You can easily upgrade it with the following tips:
Perhaps the best way to strengthen your spirit is to connect more with Mother Nature. Ask yourself, when was the last time you went out for a jog in the park or a walk by a lake? By doing so every now and then, you are likely to end up with much stronger chakras.
If you already haven’t, adopt a pet! Animals have the purest souls with no hidden evil agendas, therefore, getting closer to them and absorbing their energy will help you buff up that chakra system.
Connecting with the Divine and allowing it to ameliorate your misguided and distracted soul can do wonders for your chakras. For this purpose, meditation or prayer can help you significantly.
To Conclude…
As mentioned above, your chakra system is like a machine that can wear out if not maintained properly. Moreover, upgrading it would make you experience a spiritual change like no other, bringing you much closer to the Divine and allowing you to live your life in the best way possible. I wish you the best of luck!

The universe is a magnificent vehicle that is connected deeply with every single one of its passengers. It’s constantly taking us towards new horizons while blessing us from its limitless bounties. There exists a veil that prevents us from seeing the actual beauty of this life. The interesting thing is that every single human being has the power to see right through that veil and connect with the universe on a deeper, spiritual level – it’s only a matter of how much you are willing to struggle to achieve that power. Our bodies have energy centers, called chakras, which all have different physical and spiritual purposes. These chakras help us regulate the vital bodily processes and connect with the universe on a much deeper level. Many people believe that the chakra system consists of 7 chakras i.e. the Root Chakra, the Sacral Chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra, the Heart Chakra, the Throat Chakra, the Third Eye Chakra, and the Crown Chakra. But the truth is, we have 12 chakras, with the other 5 being the Soul Star Chakra, the Spirit Chakra, the Universal Chakra, the Galactic Chakra, and the Divine Gateway Chakra.
Modern technology has created a gap between us and the spiritual realm. There is a dire need for people to be made aware of the actual universe around them.
Many people don’t understand the significance of the 12 chakra system. If you happen to be one of those people, then keep reading because, in this blog post, I will explain to you the importance of the 12 chakra system and how having an aligned one can help you find purpose in this life.
Where Did the Concept of Chakras Emerge?
People have been practicing chakra balancing for centuries. The concept initially emerged in ancient India, somewhere between 500 BC to 1500 BC. It was first mentioned in an ancient text called Vedas, which is revered as a text of enlightenment and knowledge in Hinduism. It’s fascinating how the concept managed to survive throughout the centuries. Something which was followed for ages and is still ingrained in cultures around the world must be effective and must show promising results.
The Importance of the Chakra System
Without further ado, I’m now going to discuss the importance of the 12 chakra system. Let’s begin!
-
It Helps You Become More Grounded
You begin to realize the true beauty of life and the universe itself when you become more grounded with the Earth, when you become humbler, and when you have a better understanding of the reality. The root chakra can help you with that. It also benefits the kidneys, adrenal glands, colon, legs, and bones.
-
It Enhances Your Sex Life
Sexual desires are common and nothing to be ashamed of. When controlled, they can enhance your sex life significantly. A balanced sacral chakra can help you control and channel your sexual urges towards healthier things. Moreover, it directly affects sexual organs/parts like the testicles, ovaries, womb, etc.
In this life, an optimal amount of courage is necessary to face the relentless ups and downs. Those who believe in themselves and have higher self-esteem are usually the ones who are the most successful. Your solar plexus chakra can provide you with the much-needed boost of self-confidence and courage to overcome the obstacles of life. This chakra aids in the healing and strengthening of the stomach, adrenal glands, gallbladder, liver, and muscles.

It Provides You with Peace
Every struggle that we are facing, every pain that we are enduring, every foe that we are fighting, and everything that we are doing…everything is part of a pursuit for peace. Peace is the one thing which every single being is after. Fortunately enough, there is a center of peace within every human being – the heart chakra. Located in the chest, it’s what keeps the heart pumping in a healthy way and your immune system in good shape.
-
It Helps You See the Truth Clearly
Peace, harmony, and success all depend on the single element of communication. If you think about it, most workplace and personal conflicts begin with miscommunication. The purpose of the throat chakra is just that…to help us communicate and express our feelings more clearly and effectively and become aware of the truth. A balanced throat chakra benefits the thyroid, the throat, and oral health.
-
It Can Increase Your Intuition
Those who have a strong connection with the spiritual realm have strong intuition. This means that they can guess or predict things without having to use conscious reasoning. Multiple chakras can help you in this regard, including the third eye chakra, the soul star chakra, the galactic chakra, and the divine gateway chakra.
-
It Makes Your Spirit Stronger
Human beings are sophisticated creations made up of the spirit and the physical body. These two parts are deeply connected to one another. If one is damaged, the other one can feel its effects as well. Because of that, having a strong spirit automatically means having a strong physical body, free from all sorts of diseases and pain. It is crucial for the crown and the spirit chakras to be perfectly balanced.
Ending Note
Your chakra system is the most useful asset that you can use to conquer the obstacles of life and make your world a beautiful place. Therefore, it’s crucial for your chakras to be perfectly aligned. I hope that, by now, you have understood the significance of these energy centers and that from now on, you will make an effort to work on them. I wish you the best of luck!
