According to our Culture, all the chakras should contribute to a human’s wellbeing. Our tendency would join forces with our own thinking and feelings. Some of our chakras are overactive but some of them are usually not open. In case, the chakras are unbalanced, each cannot be achieved.
First of all, you have to understand that if you are opening your chakras, there is no need to make the over active chakras to less active. They are simply remunerating for the activity of closed chakras. If all of the chakras are opened then the energy becomes unbalanced. The following are the steps of the working of seven chakras.
Step 1: Open the Root chakra (Red)
This chakra depends on your physical work. It is based on being feeling comfortable in many situations. If this chakra is opened, you must feel stable, secure, sensible, and well-balanced. You feel present and connected to your physical body. If it is under-active, you pretend to be fearful or nervous. On the other hand, if it is over-active then you may be greedy or materialistic. To strengthen the chakra you have to follow some guidelines which are explained below.
a) Do yoga, meditation, or some manual house cleaning work, walking, etc. Such activities help your body to stay fit or also help in strengthening the chakra.
