How To Know If Your Chakras Are Blocked?

We already had a conversation about chakras and what each of them represents. Many of you seemed very interested in this subject hence you had a lot of great questions.

One of the most common questions I received was… How do I know if my chakras are blocked? So let’s talk about that today.

We already know that chakras are energy centers in your body that connect your material self to your spiritual self. We also know there are seven main chakras that run along your spine. These chakras can become imbalanced due to series of occurrences or events that have transpired to you in your life. These imbalances are what cause blockages in your chakras.

There are several ways to tell if your chakras are blocked. But before I mention these, I must say they should only be used as references since we are all different and humans are not a one size fits all type of beings. What manifests in one person does not mean it will occur the same way in another.

Our goal should be to harmonize our chakras while living our lives in our most authentic & purest form. We should aim to exist in wholeness, recognizing we are a continuous work in progress.

With that being said, one way you can tell your chakras are blocked is by trusting your intuition if something feels off. Listening to our higher self through our feelings and hunches is part of that work in progress since many of us still have a lot of inner work to do.

If you are constantly feeling down, unmotivated by life, you get sick, and then sick again, and again. Your life seems to be falling apart. You feel completely lost in life with no passion or purpose. Then it could be that one or more of your chakras are blocked.

Chakra imbalances can manifest differently in each person. For instance, one person can experience an imbalanced chakra through a physical illness or pain, while another person can experience emotional & mental symptoms. Your body will show different signs, depending on which chakra is the one that needs work.

Your root chakra may show signs of blockages by causing pain and stiffness in your feet and legs. Or by causing you to feel ungrounded, unsafe, and insecure. Or your home life may even be chaotic, making you feel stuck in life.

Your sacral chakra may leave you feeling pain and stiffness in your lower back and hips if there is a current imbalance there. You may feel like you have no imagination and are incapable of expressing creativity. If you have been feeling out of touch with your emotions, then it may be time for you to put some extra focus on balancing your sacral chakra.

If you are having persistent digestive issues and abdominal pain, low self-esteem, and an inability to go through with your goals, you may be experiencing a blockage in your solar plexus chakra. Now, I’m not talking about laziness. That is a subject to be talked about on another blog. But if you find yourself repeating the same patterns over and over again, or having the inability to commit, then you might be dealing with some blockage.

Now, your heart chakra may be blocked as well if you are encountering pain in your upper back or even your chest. Those who lack self-compassion may be dealing with a blockage in their heart chakra. Some will even complain about having tight shoulders and the inability to receive love in any of its forms. They may feel a sense of lack or loss concerning love.

Then there’s the throat chakra, which can expose blockages as a sore throat, neck & jaw pain, and even the habit of grinding your teeth. An imbalanced throat chakra may cause you to talk continuously without knowing when to stay quiet. Or, like in many of us, a blockage in this chakra can cause you to not stand up for yourself and set boundaries & limitations with others.

The third eye chakra can show signs of blockages in different ways. It can show up physically as headaches in some people, or cause brain fog and lack of intuitive guidance in others. It can also cause a loss of inspiration and an overactive imagination.

If your crown chakra is blocked, you may also feel headaches and be unable to concentrate. It seems like there is constant drama in your life, and you are not as empathetic.

Our chakras are our connection to our universe, to the divine that lives within every one of us. It is our support and guidance system. Therefore, we must put in the time and effort to balance each of our chakras.

We may encounter blockages in just one chakra or all of our chakras. We can perceive one or several signs of these imbalances. They can all happen at the same time or not, and for short or long periods.

We are constantly evolving human beings. Doing our inner work is crucial for this development! There are plenty of ways we can help our bodies heal to balance our chakras. This work may seem daunting. Yes, it demands effort and dedication, but taking small steps daily towards healing can make a huge difference.

By working on ourselves, we are not only getting better physically, mentally, and spiritually, but we also serve as inspiration and motivation to those around us, proving we are all able to do it!

If I can heal, so can you!
