How to Achieve General Awakening of Your Chakras?

Before you start using your chakras to attain specific goals linked to their individual functions, it is important that you first proceed with a complete awakening of all your Chakras.

Doing that will fulfill their potential, so you can then activate each of the Chakras whenever you want, depending on what you aspire to achieve.

Assimilating the techniques for awakening all your Chakras will be made much easier if you dedicate the first part of the awakening process to practicing abdominal breathing.

Some practical advice

It is recommended to stimulate your 7 Chakras at least once a week, replacing the last sentence of the awakening Ritual by saying:

“My Sahasrara chakra is now active!“ with “My Sahasrara Chakra is always active!“ 

Do that every week for each of your Chakras.

If you maintain this positive action over the long term, you will see your health improve and your dynamism increase. You will accomplish your desires much more quickly and live your dream life.
