OVERACTIVE AND UNDER ACTIVE CHAKRAS

OVERACTIVE AND UNDER ACTIVE CHAKRAS

So, you went to see an energetic healer who told you have an under-active throat chakra? Hmm…what???

Our chakras when not used or used excessively can get under-activated or over-activated.  For example, a person who yells constantly, who is a bully might have an over-activated throat chakra and/or an over-activated solar plexus chakra.

When a person is timid, shy, doesn’t really say too much, or just kind of blends in with the wallpaper, he or she might have an under-activated throat chakra and/or under-activated solar plexus. 

An under-active chakra or an overactive chakra impacts us in numerous ways. On a physical level, If the throat chakra is blocked, we might develop thyroid issues. If the solar plexus is blocked, we might develop digestive issues.

Crystals can help us correct the situation. They can be used to boost an under-active chakra, tone down an overactive one, as well as remove any blockages. Blockages are stagnant energy in the body. When stagnant energy is held in the body for too long, it creates illnesses.

Understanding where the chakra falls in the spectrum is very important. Knowing which stone to use is just as important.
