How to Move Energy Up Your Chakras

by Susie J. Briscoe

One of the most difficult aspects of chakra work for some people is moving the energy up the chakras from one to the next, from the 3 lower to the 4 higher, and from the higher, all the way up to the highest, the crown chakra. There are actually a number of ways to accomplish this, through meditation, massage, chakra stones, and yoga.

First we have to remember that our 7 chakras are energy centers associated with a particular colour and type of power. Then we can visualize the energy moving from one to another as we do our meditation. 

The chakras are all connected to each other from root to crown by the central channel, an energy conduit coloured white which practitioners of Ayurveda, that is, traditional Indian medicine, say is just in front of the spine in our bodies. 

If a doctor cut us open, they would not see the chakras and central channel because we are talking about our subtle energy body, not our physical body. Learning how to move your chakra energy up and down the central channel as needed can lead to better health, vitality, and improvement in body, mind and spirit. 

Mentally focus on each chakra first, its location and colour. Then imagine the energy moving upwards from the root chakra to the navel, the navel to the solar plexus, and so on. Once each has balanced and you have moved up each of the lower 3 chakras, you can start to work on the more challenging task of getting the energy up in to the first of the 4 higher chakras, the heart chakra.

As you are meditating, you can touch the location of each chakra to focus the energy, and your attention, even more.


You can also use self-massage, or receive a back massage that moves from root chakra to crown as you meditate. 
 

Another way to focus the energy is to use chakra stones, crystals that can balance and magnify the energy of each chakra. Lay the correctly-colored stone one at a time on each chakra

Or have a partner place them on your back during massage or your meditation and see what a difference it can make to your ability to move energy.

  

If you are still struggling to move the energy upwards, try Kundalini yoga.

It is designed to move up the chakra energy through your central channel so you can live a healthier life in harmony with your higher self and the universe around you.

Use any or all of these methods to move up the energy through your chakras and start being your best self.
