Chakra Blockage vs. Over-usage
First and foremost, it is crucial to understand the difference between blocked and overused chakra points. A common beginner mistake is perceiving that these two instances are different from each other. However, in reality, they are not separable since all chakra points are interconnected. This leads us to the perennial question: how is chakra blockage related to over-usage? By principle, if a chakra point is blocked, the energy of the universe won't be able to flow through it. For instance, a blocked heart chakra means that we will constantly have problems creating meaningful relationships with others. Similarly, a blocked throat chakra causes misunderstandings; even when we have the purest intentions for people around us. To compensate for this blockage, other chakra points will overwork themselves. In this case, a blocked heart chakra translates to an overworked throat chakra as we try our best to deliver what we can through words but will lack sincerity in it. Similarly, a blocked throat chakra means that we might overwork our solar plexus chakra. Thinking that we can resolve things with sheer willpower alone, we’ll continue to disappoint others with our futile attempts to deliver a positive message. In the above-given examples, the principle goes this way – a blocked chakra point will lead to other points being overused. This, in turn, causes even more strife since the function of one chakra point is being overlooked by the other. Thus, the way to go is to learn how to unblock chakras. By doing this, you are not only allowing the cosmic energy to course through your body but also ensuring that you are preventing other chakra points from being overworked. As the famous adage goes, prevention is better than cure; the same principle applies to learning how to unblock chakra points as well.Consistency is Key
While practitioners of chakra meditation and balancing often seek to pinpoint the problem with specific chakra points, what they often forget is that you can't simply single out one process over the other. As such, unblocking one chakra point is not enough to create a sustainable approach. True, the act of unblocking your chakras will restore the proper flow of energy. However, it is also true that if you become complacent, other chakra points will slowly wither down and eventually become blocked again! Like grease pipelines that require consistent attention, these chakra points must be treated with continuity. By constantly practicing the chakra meditation techniques, you'll create an approach that ensures consistency. Instead of doing one big chakra meditation, these small steps that you integrate with your daily activities will lead to the perfection of such.
