Top 9 benefits of balancing your chakra during pregnancy
TECHNIQUES OF CHAKRA HEALING FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
There are many ways you can heal your chakras. One simple way to do it during pregnancy is the following -
1. Sit in a comfortable posture with spine upright and close your eyes.
2. Take a few deep breaths and relax your body and mind. Starting from the root chakra, which is at the base of the spine, visualize red color at its position. Mentally direct your breath towards that chakra. Visualize the energy going into your root chakra.
3. Then focus on your sacral chakra which lies below the navel, along the spine and do the same exercise.
Similarly go through all your 7 chakras and go up to crown chakra
THE 9 BENEFITS OF BALANCING CHAKRA DURING PREGNANCY
Healing the root chakra helps in overcoming the fears that pregnant women have for the birthing process and other explained, unexplained reasons. It helps in grounding, security, safety and support. You trust your providers and your body, and you are confident about the birth process.
Healing the sacral chakra helps in strengthening the womb and helps to balance the female hormones, which in turn helps in a smoother pregnancy. It also helps in regulating the emotions during pregnancy that might go haywire otherwise. It helps in the sensuality that you feel for yourself. If it is balanced, you embrace the sensuality of birth and enjoy the growth of your body, and seeing this new body as attractive.
Healing the Manipura chakra helps in developing confidence in the would-be mother. It helps in raising her self-esteem which is very important to avoid postpartum depression. It helps in self-empowerment. Pregnancy is the time to ´stand in your power´ and do what is right for you and your baby.
Healing the heart chakra helps in opening up the heart for unconditional love, compassion & self love. Self-love is important at this time because many women start hating their bodies going out of proportion and other bodily changes that come complimentary with pregnancy. And this in turn leads to depression later. Practicing heart chakra healing during pregnancy helps to expand your awareness about love towards yourself and your child.
Throat chakra is responsible for imbibing positive and authentic thoughts and communication. A new study shows that a baby inside the womb not only hears his mother but also may understand her. So it is highly imperative for mothers to work upon their throat chakra if they are willing to transfer good speech and thought to their child inside the womb. Good sound with positive thoughts attracts a child’s attention inside the womb so give yourself sometime reflect and start forming a strong attachment with your baby.
Healing third eye chakra helps in developing intuition & better visioning & visualization. This can help to understand the unsaid things that the fetus might want to convey from inside. Intuition can also help in the birthing process & in overall pregnancy to take action when it is needed, even when it is not visible to the naked eyes. Envisioning a child with the qualities you wish is a beautiful practice to do in pregnancy. Visualization of a smooth birthing process also helps in alleviating the stress related to the entire process.
It is said that a child first learns from the mother state of consciousness while in the womb. Healing crown chakra releases endorphins into the brain and uplifts mood. Balance of the crown chakra not only helps a mother to become peaceful but also raises their state of consciousness.
The endocrine glands synchronize with our Chakra system. The hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands synchronize with crown & third eye chakra, thyroid and parathyroid with throat chakra, thymus with heart chakra, pancreas with solar chakra, gonad with sacral chakra and adrenal with root chakra. Chakra healing will have a great effect on regulating these glands & hormones for a better overall pregnancy.
Chakra healing increases vitality and overall well-being. It raises the vibration, clears the aura and enhances mother child bonding. It enhances the spiritual state of the child as well as s/he also gets an energetic cleanse and boost when the mother does Chakra healing for herself.
Overall, with balanced chakras during pregnancy, you can draw on all the available support – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – as you blissfully birth your baby in a grounded, empowered, sensual and connected way.
Note of caution - This should ideally be done under the supervision of an expert if you have not practiced it before your pregnancy or if you have slightest of doubts on how to do it.
