How to activate chakras? [Chakra unblocking]

Chakras - unblocking

This time we have prepared an article for you on how to activate the chakras. Although chakra unblocking is a topic for a specific group of people, it does not mean that it cannot be engaging or that it is uninteresting to anyone else.

Chakras refer to various energy sites in the body that correspond to specific nerve bundles and internal organs. If the chakras are blocked, then it can indicate negative physical or mental symptoms. One way to unlock chakras is to practice certain yoga positions. Each position has its own name that expresses it. Part of the name is the term "asana", which means sitting in a position that is relaxing and can be stayed in for a long time. Asanas are perceived as physical exercises, their alternation and transitions between them in order to improve physical condition, ie stretching muscles, tendons, increasing joint mobility, improving body flexibility, relaxation and concentration. Exercise can take place with the technique of controlled breathing.

Do not speak during exercise, concentrate on individual asanas, breathing, keep your eyes closed if you do not have a problem with balance in positions where it is necessary, especially standing.

It should be noted that there are, or may be, many limiting factors for practicing yoga, such as inexperience in the first place, where improper exercise can lead to muscle strain and thus inflammation and pain, or various diseases, especially of the joint apparatus. which can be made worse by exercise. A limiting factor is, for example, pregnancy, when it is necessary to modify a number of exercises. It is also important to keep in mind that every start is difficult and you should hurry slowly. At least in the beginning, you should practice yoga with an instructor.
And that you don't have the time or patience to do so? Does this joint and that joint hurt you? Can't you bend over because your back hurts? Are you having trouble breathing?

Enough excuses. If you want, almost everything goes. The goal of exercise is to eliminate some health ailments, at least alleviate some and prevent others.
