		<description><![CDATA[Snoring troubles everyone, not just the one who has it. If the snorer sleeps in the same room as someone or other people, then it hits and annoys everybody who is within earshot.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Snoring isn&#8217;t only the bother for the one who has it. It affects everyone who is within hearing. If the snorer sleeps in the same room as somebody, like his or her spouse or partner, then it is a problem and nuisance for all.</p>
<p>If the snorers&#8217; &#8220;victims&#8221; get an annoying and exhausting day-after, the snorers hurt much more in the long run. The condition can result in circulatory problems, including high blood pressure and heart troubles.</p>
<p>Although women, and even a very small number of children, also snore, it&#8217;s the men who make up most of the share. The condition also exacerbates when they get old because their muscles get weaker.</p>
<p>A simple way to reduce snoring is to sleep on your side to let more conducive air flow to your air passage. There are even those who find sleeping on their stomach useful. But this solution is only temporary. Once you revert to sleeping on your back, your snoring returns as well.</p>
<p>To keep your tongue from blocking your airways while you sleep, raise half of your mattress so that your head and torso are higher than your lower body.</p>
<p>It is best to avoid drinking alcohol and eating dairy products before you go to sleep. Alcohol relaxes your throat, causing your tongue to fall back and obstruct your airways. Dairy foods, meanwhile, produce mucus that can form in your nose and throat.</p>
<p>Getting healthy may just be the solution to your snoring problem. As mean as it seems, obese people are said to be more prone to snores. Studies also say that those who smoke are more like to snore than those who don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Snoring can also be worsened by some medications such as antihistamines and even sleeping pills. If possible, reduce your intake before going to sleep.</p>
<p>If all else fails, you can go under the knife. Many snorers opt to have surgery after trying and failing each solution available to them. However, before considering this step, it is better to ascertain if you have sleep apnea first. Snoring is a common indication of sleep apnea; extinguishing the former won&#8217;t ensure that you will also eliminate the latter.</p>
<p>As always, talk to your ENT doctor for concerns. Ask him what is the best cure for eliminating snoring for you. Your otolaryngologist can help you attain the straight sleep you have always been dreaming of.</p>
<p>Get rid of your <a target='_blank' href="http://www.entsinus.com">snoring</a> problems by consulting qualified <a target='_blank' href="http://www.entsinus.com">ENT</a> specialists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let us take a brief look at what tinnitus is. Some of us may be aware what this is and some may even think that is a symptom of hearing loss. Does tinnitus really causes hearing loss? According to research, experts say that tinnitus is relatively common. Out of 12 millions, 2 million experiences tinnitus. There are different causes of tinnitus. Stress, certain food, exposure of one&#8217;s ears to loud sound, taking various prescription drugs and allergies are just some of the causes of tinnitus. </p>
<p>People with this condition hear different sounds. It can be anywhere from rushing water, a glass that breaks or a cow bell. The volume of any particular sound is perceived differently by people suffering tinnitus. Specialists in this filed indicates that this condition can come and go.  Some surveys show that about 72% suffers from it continuously, while about 10% is suffering continually.</p>
<p>Certain foods cause tinnitus. It may cause some inconvenience, especially when the use of the ears is important in a job like working as a call center agent or perhaps being a doctor. Basically what happens is, when one experiences almost constant inconvenience the person better consult the doctor what is happening and what might be expected along the way. For others, when they eat food with high amounts of sugar the sound that they hear may become louder that day or the following days. </p>
<p>People who are in contact with equipment or machinery that emit loud noises can also suffer from tinnitus. It is a problem that will remain long after they have ceased to work in such professions.</p>
<p>Prescription drugs are another source of tinnitus. It is advisable to visit your doctor to discuss remedies which could include reducing the prescription dosage, or possibly a change of drug may suffice for a period to see if the problem reduces or disappears altogether. </p>
<p>This condition has varying effects to people. If you are suffering from it and it is resulting to poor work performance, then naturally you will be stressed, and this will further aggravate your situation. Stress is also a contributing factor that escalates tinnitus. Conversely, even low volume sound is being associated to it as well. It has some effect to some degree but not the same as with the effect caused by high volume noise. </p>
<p>When tinnitus gets to affect a person&#8217;s job or social life it will be best to go to an EENT and consult the doctor. The doctor will have some sound advice for this situation.  Knowing what may cause the sound that you hear in your ear is a key factor in finding what solutions may be applied to at least lighten your condition. It is best to know how to handle stress, do not self medicate. Also, observe what you eat and the volume of the sound in your surroundings, these are some of the things that might or will make tinnitus a little bit more serious than it should be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surviving and competing nowadays requires a lot of courage and determination, you have to be able to come up with newer ideas and thoughts to achieve the targets you have set. Also at the same time keeping alive the will and the passion to succeed is very crucial and is an important determinant of your success.</p>
<p>Along with physical ability and strength your mental and spiritual stability is also very important for your constant growth. The chakras within you play an important role as these points of spiritual energy offer a great deal to your character and wisdom; they act as the intermediaries between the soul and the physical body.</p>
<p>In order to reach your goals it is important that the strength and energy lying within you are transformed into performance and here is where the chakras play a defining role. The only thing that you need to be careful about is that these chakras require being refreshed periodically or else their efficiency might reduce.</p>
<p>It is important to recognize the components of our personality that are attached to each of the 7 chakras and work on them individually so that you do not lose out on any aspect.</p>
<p>In the process of clearing chakras the body gets rid of the negative energy in you in order to intake positive energy and stabilize it.</p>
<p>Your body movements that are anticlockwise are said to be movements that help the removal of negative energy while clockwise movements bring in the positive vibes.</p>
<p>Also in the process of clearing chakras you might experience a little pain in body parts but that is just an indication of the occurrence of the process of energy exchange.</p>
<p>It is believed that the circles or the chakras in your body derive energy from the planets and the heavenly bodies and allow the human mind, body and soul to function in the right direction.</p>
<p>Once your chakras are cleared you will find a newer self in front of you, while many practise this on a regular basis, the intervals do vary as per the need and intent of individuals.</p>
<p>Once you clear the chakras and ensure that the positive energy gained is stabilized you would discover that your mind is filled with creative thoughts much more than what you would have previously thought. It helps the others familiarise with the different aspects of your life and thoughts.</p>
<p>The process of clearing chakras can start by paying attention to 1-2 of the circles of energy in your body and in the process try to get all your chakras cleared as only then you will be able to enjoy the advantage of your energies. People would be able to experience peace of mind as well as they tend to be relaxed.</p>
<p>Once you are parts of your body that relate to a particular chakra are understood you just need to use your feeling sensation to find the part which has a problem and work out on the corresponding chakra.</p>
<p>Todays competitive world demands a lot of agility and awareness and without the right approach and the correct balance of all your energies making your abilities count as performance would be quite difficult.</p>
<p>The spiritual energy has a potential role to play in the success of an individual in all fields and that has been realised by people practising this art. Also efforts are being made to understand the science of chakras in a better way.</p>
<p>The chakras if implemented correctly would get you glory, fame and name and all things you have desired. It brings your life oozes of fresh energy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chakras are the focal points for universal energy which flows through us, whether we know it or not. Your chakras have a profound influence on your life whether this effect is good, such as when they are properly aligned for energy flow or whether this effect is for the worse, like when they are blocked, preventing the flow of energy or are out of alignment.</p>
<p>Chakra comes from the Sanksrit word for energy. Although the concept comes to us from the Hindu faith, our energy centers care little what, if any religion we ourselves may practice. Energy is instead a universal force possessed by every person. The physical manifestation of the path through which this energy flows in and out of our auras is the Chakras.</p>
<p>Ensuring that your chakras are aligned will allow you to better understand yourself; in body, mind and spirit. Most people are unbalanced, with their chakras being unaligned. Chakra meditation is for that reason a very useful practice. You must first know where your chakras are and their function in order to begin chakra meditation.</p>
<p>Situated in important areas of your body like the heart and the top of the head, the chakras influence the organs which surround them and they also play a part in proper energy flow. The number of chakras in your body is seven.</p>
<p>The first chakra is the Root Chakra and it is located at the base of the spine. This chakra is related to the body and our individual ability to master our body. So your general health, constitution and security are all tied to the Root Chakra. This is also the chakra that helps us realize how we are connected to the world around us. The color for this chakra is red.</p>
<p>In the lower abdomen is out second chakra, the Navel Chakra. Representing our physical drives toward love, pleasure and sex, as well as giving and receiving, this chakra is where you will feel generosity, harmony and selflessness, as well as some acts of creativity. The color of this chakra is orange.</p>
<p>Third is the Solar Plexus Chakra, sited right below your chest. This chakra is representative of your transformational ability and your willpower. Control over your personal energy is also a part of what the Solar Plexus Chakra does. This chakra is where your self discipline is seated; as well as control over the ego. The color of this chakra is yellow.</p>
<p>The Heart Chakra is found in the center of the chest. It only seems natural then that this chakra control love and understanding. Our feelings of harmony, balance, forgiveness and compassion stem from this chakra. The Heart Chakra nurtures the feelings of divine and unconditional love that goes beyond the physical. The color of the Heart Chakra is green.</p>
<p>The fifth chakra is the Throat Chakra, sited between the chin and the sternum. This chakra governs communication. The Throat Chakra lets us understand the power of honest speech to convey truth, kindness and wisdom. The color of the Throat chakra is sky blue.</p>
<p>The chakra that is located in our forehead above our eyes is the Brow Chakra. This is commonly referred to as the third eye. Our perception of insight, imagination, intuition and clairvoyance stem from this chakra. The ability to focus on your realization of your own soul is found in this chakra. Divine wisdom and peace of mind is also found here. The color for the Brow Chakra is indigo.</p>
<p>The final chakra is the Crown Chakra, obviously based on the name it is found at the top of the head. So it should go with out saying then that anything that deals with the mind and spirit is controlled here. It is the Crown Chakra that is tied to our individual journey into understanding our own consciousness and our place in time and space. Anything dealing with the Higher Self is rooted in the Crown Chakra. The color for the Crown Chakra is violet.</p>
<p>Knowing where each chakra is and what each one is tied to will help you with chakra meditation. There are meditations that can be used to align all of the chakras as well as meditations that focus on one particular chakra.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A common belief says that most things perform the best when they are provided a well balanced condition, excess or scarce of any factor leads to undesirable conditions and that holds true for the centers of energy in our body as well.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A common belief says that most things perform the best when they are provided a well balanced condition, excess or scarce of any factor leads to undesirable conditions and that holds true for the centers of energy in our body as well. Also we need to understand that other than the body we also possess a soul which is not seen but is an important element in our existence.</p>
<p>Only when these inner and outer selves of a person are able to co-ordinate and maintain a healthy interaction, the person can perform tasks effectively. Even the survival of the human requires adequate attention to both of these, while food and water provide the required energy to our body, the various chakras in our body are responsible for the healthy existence of the soul and for that the correct chakra balance is crucial.</p>
<p>The importance of the cleaning of the chakras cannot be neglected but equally important is the act of maintain the chakra balance which should be a following process, it is during the first act that the body sheds away the toxic or unwanted energy in return for positive vibrations that are believed to come from the cosmic bodies.</p>
<p>The overall flow of energy decides whether chakra balance has been struck as it is said to be the condition where in each chakra is balanced as well as the entire system is balanced. This also points to the fact that since all the chakras are balanced your body is fit and healthy and without any pain or disorders.</p>
<p>The impact of every chakra is on one of the crucial organs of the human body and for this reason it becomes essential to maintain individual chakra balance as an imbalance in even one chakra could mean that there is a possibility of malfunctioning of a particular critical organ and that can be fatal as well.</p>
<p>One of the major ingredients of chakra cleansing and chakra balance is water, making it a major part in your diet as well as regular bathing; swimming etc helps to keep your chakras balanced.</p>
<p>Another important part of our lives are the various colors around us as each chakra relates to a particular color and hence if there is an imbalance of the chakra, bringing the associated color into your life can be said to be an effective way of treatment.</p>
<p>Meditation is a very effective way of relaxing your inner body, while you sleep your physical body is at rest and it recharges itself to maintain the balance of energy in real world however in order to maintain chakra balance it is important that your spiritual self is also relaxed and can focus and refresh itself, meditation plays a defining role in providing the adequate amount of required rest to the soul.</p>
<p>Sleep has also been identified to be a form of unintentional mediation as the body goes into a state where in it loses awareness of the environment to an extent. This provides a relaxing sensation to the soul and also helps to intake spiritual energy.</p>
<p>It is very important that along with all activities to maintain chakra balance, an individual should also include adequate amount of exercising in his/her habits, this not only beneficial for the body parts but it also helps the re arrangement of the chakras physically. The duration of the exercise need not be long but then it should be strictly followed.</p>
<p>The food you eat also matters as many a times people turn out be obese or under nutrition and that leads to imbalance of the chakras and hence several body problems. Do not avoid meals but have smaller meals as skipping meals can also be dangerous.</p>
<p>So it can be said without a doubt that chakra balance has tremendous significance in the smooth performance of our daily activities and hence ensure that your act of balancing the chakras is in place!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What is Chakra According to the ancient Hindus?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is Chakra According to the ancient Hindus?</p>
<p>A chakra is an axis point in the human body that receives, connects to and conveys life force energy. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means a continuously spinning wheel or sphere of mans aural energy. Although traditional Hindu writings assert that there are more than 88,000 chakra points in the entire human body, the most important of these chakras are the seven energy axis from the base of the spinal column to the top of the head.</p>
<p>Although there is no common denominator between the ancient Hindu and Chinese cultures, they are very similar in their interpretation and explanation about the role of these energy points in our health and lives in general. Both the Hindus and the Chinese look at the bodys major energy points as playing important roles in our conscious and subconscious experiences. And that these seven energy points are the keys to a healthy and successful life.</p>
<p>The seven major energy points of our body are the root, navel, solar plexus, heart, throat, brow, and crown and they are located along the length of the spine. These energy points continuously receive and transmit life form energies resulting from their direct and indirect interaction with other elements and life forces of our environment and are believed to have a direct bearing on our physical, emotional and spiritual makeup.</p>
<p>The chakra unceasing interaction with our body and the environment even during our sleep gives them a direct influence over our physical structure and appearance including our bodily processes, health and our emotions. A glitch of any one of the major chakras is an indicator that something is wrong with our physical/emotional health which may directly or indirectly be noticeable.</p>
<p>Since each of the major chakras corresponds to a particular endocrine gland in our body, any variance in their normal function or behavior directly affects our health as well.</p>
<p>Maintaining the Optimum Functions of our Chakras Using the foundations of the ancient Hindus and Chineses understanding and interpretation of the functions of our bodys energy points, especially the seven major ones, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that not all our illnesses are viral; some are very likely related to the malfunction of one or all of our chakras. Physical symptoms of illness may not be present or minimal at the very least, but our feelings of discontent, stress, excitement are signs that something is wrong with us either on the physical, spiritual or emotional levels.</p>
<p>These factors could be anything ranging from repressed traumatic incidents during early childhood to wrong diet, unhealthy lifestyle and the like. One thing is certain, and that is we have to remove these physical or emotional toxins from our bodies because they affect us greatly.</p>
<p>Chakra Healing is Good for Our Body We can directly influence our chakras and their functions and through them our health and lives by employing techniques such as Reiki healing, aromatherapy, color therapy, chakra balancing with the aid of a pendulum, crystals or gemstones.</p>
<p>Some people prefer to attend yoga exercise classes as the breathing and physical exercises used in the practice of yoga are beneficial to maintain chakra balance in the body.</p>
<p>Other methodologies of chakra healing are meditation (keeping the mind focused on an object of thought or awareness for a certain period of time), guided visualization (done with the aid of audio tapes or CDs to promote natural healing and relaxation techniques to reduce stress, promote relaxation and harness the power of the mind).</p>
<p>Despite the fact that we can see or touch our energy points, aside from the above there are other ways that we can keep them healthy in order for them to better support our body.</p>
<p>Since our diet affects our body and our system, they also affect the stability and synchronization of our major energy points. The food we eat can either make them work better, slowly or not at all!</p>
<p>Our root chakra thrives on root-type vegetables and protein-rich foods. Sweet fruits, nuts directly affect our navel chakra while our solar plexus chakra is enhanced by a healthy diet of breads, dairy product and cereals.</p>
<p>Our energy points that affect the heart and throat are sustained when we eat green, leafy vegetables, drink plenty of liquid, green tea and fruit juices.</p>
<p>On the other hand, our third eye chakra is get nourishment when we eat blueberries and grapes and drink wine or grape juice. It is equally important to nourish this chakra as it makes feelings and senses sharper.</p>
<p>The last of the seven major energy points, the crown, does not need nourishment but requires fasting in order to be detoxified.</p>
<p>By influencing our chakras, we are also directly influencing our health in general. This leads to a more responsive existence complete in tune with our surroundings and all other elements of both the physical and metaphysical world we live in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a painful condition that causes one or more of these symptoms within the abdomen; diarrhea, constipation, cramping and bloating.  IBS affects the Large Intestine where stool is stored.  Although IBS is very painful, it is not a disease.  It is called a functional disorder, which means that the Large Intestine is not functioning properly, which causes the discomfort within the abdomen.  Women are known to show the symptoms of IBS more than men.  Some of these women may notice an increase in their symptoms during their menstral cycle.</p>
<p>The causes are believed to be nuerological in nature.  The problem begins when your brain fires signals to your intestine which causes food to be moved too quickly or too slowly.  This hurts the normal digestive process that<br />
you have.  IBS is often associated with stress, anxiety and sleep disorders. These attacks may be triggered by stress on the job when you cannot meet deadlines or your boss is always finding fault with your work. Stressful events like the death of someone close  or losing a job suddenly will cause this illness.</p>
<p>Most people dont know that IBS help is available.  They live with the pain and embarrassment rather than seek out help from their doctor.  Even though the condition can be hard to talk about, it is important to know that there is something that can help IBS sufferers who need to constantly worry about their proximity to the bathroom.</p>
<p>Regular Exercise<br />
We now know that stress is a factor that  causes IBS, stress management can be controlled by exercising daily and by using relaxation techniques.  Physical exercise works the bowel muscles and this is very beneficial for constipation.   Some examples of exercises includes simple stretches, walking, stretching and yoga are all very helpful in relieving IBS.</p>
<p>The role of diet is very important in the cause and relief of irritable bowel syndrome. Certain foods such as milk can cause diarrhea while others like fruit and soda can cause bloating and abdominal cramping.</p>
<p>IBS help comes from Balvolex in the form of a reduction or elimination of diarrhea, cramping, constipation, anxiety reduction, and calming the extra strong spasms in the intestines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would it be like to be a remote viewer? If you&#8217;ve never done remote viewing before, it can be difficult to imagine and nearly as difficult to describe.</p>
<p>As a remote viewer, you can see any place, any person or any object anywhere in the universe at any time in the past, present or future. You can see what&#8217;s going on around the corner or view the signing of the Magna Carta. You could look into the future to see what&#8217;s coming a hundred years from now. When you&#8217;re the remote viewer, there is no limit to what you can uncover.</p>
<p>Every man, woman and child can be a remote viewer, though the vast majority of people never tap into these natural abilities. There are means of perception which lie in our subconscious that allow us a wider view of the world than is available through our five physical senses. With some training, you can use these abilities and view the universe differently.</p>
<p>Most often remote viewing involves viewing an area or location that you know absolutely nothing about. At least the research subjects taking various tests had no idea of the actual location they were visiting while in a conscious unconscious state of mind. A coordinate keyword was provided to these individuals as their only reference.</p>
<p>These studies were conducted to test the potential for remote viewing in military and intelligence gathering operations. Many countries have conducted these studies and while the subjects in these tests may not have been familiar with what they were trying to view, you can use your own remote viewing abilities to see things which you already know well.</p>
<p>Remote viewing isn&#8217;t quite as strange as it may sound at first, since it is an ability possessed by every human being. All it takes is some practice to allow remote viewing and other latent psychic abilities to come to the surface where they can be exercised consciously.</p>
<p>What Do You Do To Enhance And Develop Your Natural Remote View Abilities?</p>
<p>Remote viewing, like all other psychic abilities are based on your mind power. You need to condition your mind to use its untapped potential and there are several different techniques which can be used to learn remote viewing. Meditation and guided visualization can help you to achieve the necessary state of mind to use remote viewing.</p>
<p>In order to remote view, you&#8217;ll have to allow yourself to relax completely. Practice different meditation and visualization techniques until you find some that work well for you. This will involve time and effort, so be patient and keep your eye on your goal of becoming a remote viewer.</p>
<p>Another great idea is to make sure that you will not be disturbed while you are the remote viewer, whether you are learning or practicing your talents and skills. You will want to be sure that you can relax in a quite and comfortable area in order to get the best results of your remote viewing sessions.</p>
<p>As you practice, take notes on your results in a notebook. This remote viewing journal will be very helpful to you as you track your progress towards becoming an expert remote viewer. Make notes of your exercises and any images which you see as you attempt to remote view. Your notes can help you decide which techniques are bringing you the best results.</p>
<p>You see, as humans we all naturally have theses gifts, talents or skills however; most often we have forgotten that we do have various psychic abilities. We can awaken and training these natural tools, the will work for us, as we learn how to practice bringing focus to our innermost higher selves.</p>
<p>You can discover your past or learn more about your own future or you simply want to find out what is going on in the next room, you can become a remote viewer to find out what it is you want to know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is surprising enough that every new dimension of human existence reveals a new secret and arouses newer aspects related to the successful existence of the human race. One such highly mysterious and quite unknown aspect that helps govern the human body and the human mind is the network of the seven chakras that are held in the human body as 7 circles of energy.</p>
<p>Apart from the physical energy that we get from substances that we consume as a part of our routine diet, the human body also requires a good amount of cosmic energy that is a result of the energy exchange between the seven chakra network in our body and the heavenly bodies above us.</p>
<p>The exact purpose and functions of these seven chakras are not entirely defined though there has been a good amount of knowledge that we possess about them. A strong belief suggests that it is the way that you feel that generates the kind of results, in case you are not confident about a particular task and feel very low before even trying you would come back with a negative result only where in if you have always been positive you end up getting the desired results and these things are important even when things are least/most likely to happen.</p>
<p>Every single chakra has its role to play in the process of controlling and governing the functions of a particular part of the body but each of these chakras reflect variations in the effect they have on the organs.</p>
<p>All chakras end up influencing various aspects that are important for the well being of an individual, you will be able to understand the impact in detail in the following explanation.</p>
<p>The chakra that is placed at the bottom is the root chakra which helps regulating the actual personality and the character of the person. When positive the chakra helps the individual to enhance his/her ability to stand strong against the odds. Root chakra is said to control the large intestine, rectum as well as other digestive organs below the stomach.</p>
<p>Genital Chakra lies above the root chakra and is very important as it helps to control the organs that are important for excretory purposes. This chakra with positive energy could mean that a person is not distracted by luscious offers and can help to have a broad mind. With negativity it can lead to establishing negative vibes and feelings.</p>
<p>The third chakra that helps regulate the functions and the activities of the stomach and other important organs of digestion, is referred to as the umbilical chakra. It helps to maintain a good balance of mind so as to help in decision making. On the negative side it has an impact on the thoughts leading to the arousing of feelings that result from an unstable mind.</p>
<p>The fourth chakra is heart chakra, an individuals aspirations, desires, likes , love etc are controlled by this chakra. On a positive side it imparts love and harmony whereas when the chakra is filled with negative energy it makes the person rude and stubborn. The chakra governs the cardiac organs of the human body.</p>
<p>The fifth chakra is the throat chakra, it has an impact on the functions of the vocal chords we possess. It is also said to have an impact on the language we speak, a negative throat chakra could mean the use of a lot of foul language. The chakra controls important organs like the mouth, neck and lungs.</p>
<p>The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra and it helps to pass judgements and perceive things. Positive energy here enhances vision, hearing and smelling powers.</p>
<p>The seventh chakra or the crown chakra is towards the crown of the head and in a positive state helps people achieve enlightenment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the ancient Vedic thought, there are seven circles (Chakras) of energy referred to as energy wheels in the human body. These are present along the meridian of the body.</p>
<p>There are seven of these wheels (although a few more mystical practitioners say there are 14),</p>
<p>Beginning at the base (believed to be either the bottom end of the spine or the genitals) they go right up to the top of the head, the crown.</p>
<p>The base chakra is red. As we go up, the solar plexus has a golden chakra; the belly or womb chakra is orange in hue. The heart has a green chakra, the throat blue and the center of the forehead is indigo. This acts like the third eye. At the crown, the chakra is violet that turns whiter towards its circumference away from the head.</p>
<p>The numbering of these chakras 1 to 7 begins at the base of the spine, which is chakra number one. This numbering coincides with the spectrum along the wavelength of light.</p>
<p>The first of these chakras is responsible for our vitality, sexual and physical health.</p>
<p>The second chakra commands our creative powers.</p>
<p>The third commands the power of our will and desires.</p>
<p>The fourth chakra is responsible for our emotions and helps us to both give and receive love.</p>
<p>The fifth chakra is responsible for communicating and is the link between what we feel and what we think.</p>
<p>The sixth chakra is responsible for our intuition and extra sensory powers, which is why we call it the sixth sense.</p>
<p>The seventh chakra is used to take us on astral voyages and connects us with cosmic awareness, some of which is what is captured and brought back down to the second chakra during artistic practices and which is also accessed on shamanic journeys.</p>
<p>When people feel they are connecting directly with God, they are focusing the energies of their seventh, purple-white, crown chakra.</p>
<p>The chakras spin in their natural state. If they are healthy then they will spin and will then provide you with the optimum energies you need. If however they become unbalanced they can not spin and you will therefore experience illness or sickness in one or more of the areas outlined.</p>
<p>No chakra should be more developed than the others, either. If this happens then addictions, neuroses, obsessive-compulsive disorders, or unintentional cruelty will result.</p>
<p>Chakras can become unbalanced or clogged as a result of neglect or bad lifestyle. If your diet is bad, or you have a negative attitude toward sexual relations you will have problems with your first or root/base chakra. This is likely to lead to ill health and broken or difficult relationships.</p>
<p>The seventh chakra is prone to disruption in people who are forever thinking of negative actions towards others like working black magic. When this purple-white wheel is disturbed, the cosmic connection is hampered. Consequently the person feels bitter, fearful, and empty.</p>
<p>A freely spinning energy wheel will be characteristically flexible. The human mind has the power to receive good vibes and ward off bad and negative ones. It is just like a hand, which can open and close when required but if broken, it will not function. Similarly a healthy chakra will open and close as per the vibes it encounters.</p>
<p>The way to use chakra therapy is to focus in a balanced way on each one of the seven major energy categories that each chakra commands. This should be done on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Take each major energy category and at some point each day meditate upon how its aspects are manifesting-or not manifesting-in your life, and as you do this visualize your body&#8217;s energy residing in that particular chakra. If you find your energy waning in any category, meditate on the steps you can take to make that category healthy and cleanse the related chakra.</p>
<p>It is also observed that when some persons meditate on a gemstone of the same color as the chakras, their concentration is very high. They are able to focus better and can obtain an insight into the path for cleansing their chakras and make them healthier.</p>
<p>Many people find that the simplest way is to listen to the frequencies of each chakra in turn which results in your own chakras resonating with these frequencies, which then results in them becoming completely balanced.</p>
