Symptoms and disorders are a result of unbalanced chakras. Sometimes they need to receive energy because they are deficient and sometimes they are excessive and need to release energy. Using various techniques, you can redistribute the energy to balance and unblock your chakras. During times of illness and aging, chakras slow their spinning and begin to collapse. Daily meditation, aromatherapy and the use of gemstones can help maintain the chakras.
Development
The Crown Chakra begins developing in your mid twenties. It may not reach full development until you are very near death though. This chakra can not develop until your nervous system is ready for it. You should not attempt to rush this process even with meditation. This is the chakra that connects you to your cosmic consciousness.
Imbalances
The Seventh Chakra imbalances will manifest themselves emotionally with deep emotional issues requiring professional help, destructiveness, lack of energy, feelings of despair and apathy, confusion, dissociation and lack of meaning in life and spiritual growth.
Physically, an imbalance in the Seventh Chakra will show itself with frequent headaches and migraines, depression and not wanting to get out of bed or do anything.
Restoring Balance
Gemstones and essential oils can be extremely helpful when balancing the chakras. By using them during meditation or other therapies, balancing can be achieved more quickly and completely. The Seventh Chakra is associated with the gems diamond, amethyst, clear quartz and labradorite and the essential oil scents of Rosewood and Lavender.
The element of the Seventh Chakra is consciousness. To increase this energy is to find meaning. It is a rising of awareness and a connection to the Universal Life Force and it should be honored. Fasting from food or from activities can help balance this chakra when it is not grounded and calm. Daily Breath work is another very effective way to bring your Seventh Chakra to a peaceful balance.
