How To Tell If Your Chakras Are Blocked

You probably have a blocked chakra and not even realize it.

Chakras are energy centers located along your spine, and they each correlate to a different aspect of yourself. Read this blog post for an overview of what the 7 chakras mean. 

Ideally, all of our chakras would be unblocked and have energy flowing through them freely. However, this is rarely the case. So how do you tell if your chakras are blocked?

You could experience different physical and emotional symptoms depending on which one is blocked. You may even experience physical pain. One way to unblock your chakras is through yoga and meditation. 

Let’s go over the symptoms of blocked chakras.
