What Happens When Our Chakras are Blocked?
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside awakens."
― Carl Jung
Last week, I introduced you to the concept of the chakra as a life force energy. Eastern cultures are aware that these centers are vital to our health, and if imbalanced, sickness and disease may occur (2023). Today we will discuss what happens when the chakras become blocked or imbalanced.
Root
Disruption of the root can lead to stress, anxiety, and restlessness. According to ChakraEnergy.com, one may suffer from anemia, depression, fatigue, low back pain, and frequent colds. Additionally, joint pain and a poor immune system may manifest. People may need help letting go, poor boundaries or security issues (2023).
Sacral
If the sacral chakra becomes imbalanced, a person may exhibit the following signs/symptoms: eating disorders, asthma, allergies, alcohol/drug abuse, and Candida/yeast infections. Other health issues include bladder problems, impotence, and lack of flexibility. Jealousy, betrayal, and control may surface emotionally or socially (2023).
Solar Plexus
A person with a solar plexus block may develop digestive disorders, ulcers, diabetes, low energy, constipation, and nervousness. Those with a hot temper, are judgmental, fear change, are demanding, or are sensitive to criticism fall into this category (2023)

Heart
The heart is the gateway to the higher-level chakras, and energy must pass through here to assess the throat, third eye, and crown centers. If the heart becomes blocked, we may be resentful, bitter, lack forgiveness, and experience guilt. Physically, one may suffer from high blood pressure, respiratory disorders, cardiac issues, shortness of breath, and even shoulder tension (2023).
Throat
The throat chakra is the seat of our inner truth. If imbalanced, the voice will be weak, and feelings incomprehensible. We can suffer from fever; ear, nose, and throat disorders; problems with swallowing; and hormonal conditions like PMS and mood swings. Also, a disruption may cause one to lie to get their way (2023).
Third Eye
An unwell third eye may cause a person to worry, have poor concentration and learning disabilities, sleep disorders, and neurological issues. Fever, flu, infections, and headaches may also appear (2023).
Crown
The blocked crown may represent a confused, depressed, and uninspired person. Signs of disruption include epilepsy, skin rashes, varicose veins, sensitivity to light, and even amnesia. A person may also fear success due to this imbalance (2023).
Complementary and alternative methods assist the body's natural healing ability. However, there may be times when issues (such as those described in this post) require traditional medical intervention. Please speak with a licensed healthcare provider if you have signs and symptoms of medical conditions such as heart disease, lung problems, or high blood pressure. Please disclose to your doctor if you wish to explore alternative means, such as reiki healing, to balance your chakras, and never discontinue a prescribed treatment protocol/medication without their consent or agreement. In the next segment, we will learn how a whole foods diet can assist the chakras (body) to return to homeostasis or balance. Until next time –
Namaste,
