I pay a lot of attention to my chakras and to trying to maintain balance. So I love to find new clues to helping me identify imbalances and to resolve them.
I recently looked at my chakras as the generators of positive energy.
If I am generating positive energy from inside myself and sharing it freely with others, my chakras are balanced.
If I am craving positive energy then my chakras are wide open trying to suck that energy in from people and experiences outside of myself. I feel that people who are holding on to negative experiences where they were deprived of positive energy have this imbalance.
If I am trying to keep what little positive energy I have then my chakras are closed tight to keep any of my energy from being taken by outside influences. I feel that people who are holding on to negative experiences where they were harmed by sharing their positive energy have this imbalance.
I have looked at the behaviors that come from these imbalances for each chakra.
