chakra assessment
Chakras are complex organs, with many layers and different channels and ways of running energy. As you're working with this Assessment, please keep in mind that chakras can rarely be described as simply "open" or "closed." It's also helpful to think of your chakras as holding a record of all of your soul's lessons and experiences. The goal is never to "open" all your chakras or even to completely balance your energetic system. Rather, think of your energetic system as a constantly evolving representation of all your experiences. You will naturally move towards greater balance in your energetic system as you work with the lessons and experiences recorded in your chakras. This Assessment is a way to check in with your own system and receive guidance on where your soul work lies.
​

Working with Your Chakra Assessment
​​​
Your completed Chakra Assessment Diagram is a tool that can help you explore your soul lessons and areas of potential growth. It can show you which chakras are working well and where your challenges lie. Your Assessment can also help you see where energy is being "displaced" (ex., too much energy running in the upper chakras and too little running in the lower chakras) or where there are energetic "splits" (ex., three adjacent chakras running energy in a "too much - too little - too much" pattern). These overall patterns offer insight into the way you normally approach life. They can show where you can expand or evolve your consciousness by working to balance the movement of energy.
​​​​
Continue working with the breathing exercises, journaling exercises, meditations and affirmations for the chakras where there's the most potential for soul growth. If you'd like one-on-one support, you can book an energetic healing session here.

Energy flows UPWARD. The physical experiences of the lower chakras give you a sense of who you are in the world. With this sense of self, you can reach out to others and experience loving relationship. Filled with love, you express yourself creatively. Your creations reflect back more of who you are, and you gain self-knowledge and insight. You begin to glimpse higher truths, and seek deeper understanding.
Energy flows DOWNWARD. The higher awareness of the upper chakras continually informs who you are. You experience divine inspiration, create with purpose and embrace the humanity of self and others. With wisdom, you embrace change and the opportunity to grow using your capacity of choice. As consciousness descends deeper into the lower chakras, you deeply connect with the pleasure of life from a place of higher understanding. With purpose and joy, you manifest something real in the physical world.
This upward and downward movement of energy continues throughout life. Matter is constantly being raised to higher vibrational states, and consciousness is constantly descending into matter to gain understanding.
