Chakra Diagnosis and Healing: Your Self-diagnosis Guide

How do you know if your chakras are blocked, too open, torn, misshapen, imbalanced, or under attack by others or even by your very own repeated behavior patterns? How do you know which of your chakras need your attention to heal? And which need it the most, asap? Here, we will provide you with some tips to self-diagnose your chakra system.

How do you know if there’s a problem, to begin with?

Do you have areas of chronic sameness in your life? No matter what you do, how hard you try, how you tackle the situation, the sameness defiantly continues, leading you to sadness, despair, anger, jadedness, or disappointment. You try approaching the sameness from different angles, you do different things, get advice, repeat positive affirmations in front of the mirror, and still, the annoying situation is right there in your life, unchanged, unmoved.

If this sounds at all familiar, there’s something to look at, something to understand, to fix. Below we list the common problems related to each chakra and blocked chakra symptoms. It’s the ultimate list you need to check.

Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced first chakra

• Chronic anxiety and PTSD-like feelings, sometimes even when the situation doesn’t call for it. For example, feeling terribly anxious at the hair dresser’s because they have scissors there. Or walking near a construction site imagining things falling on you, getting dizzy just from thinking this. Easily losing your ground in an argument, feeling like you have no weight, being afraid of people, feeling restless even when getting a massage at a spa.
• Financial difficulty: even if you are making good money, somehow you can’t save, or unexpected expenses continue to strike you. Also, an inability make money, difficulty holding onto money or to a job.
• Poor discipline whether it’s about money, your cleaning habits, eating, exercise, or other health-related habits.

Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced second chakra

• Frigidity, lack of desire for sex, or even fear of sex and physical intimacy. A reluctance to feel desire or go for pleasure. On the flip side, doing it too much, sexual addiction, going for it with whomever, whenever, wherever, including putting yourself at risk by not using protection. An imbalanced sex life.
• Excessive emotions, constantly being overwhelmed by intense feelings, hysteric reactions to situations that can actually be handled calmly, bipolar states, severe and uncontrollable mood swings, emotional dependency.
• Fear of change, any change. Addiction to schedules, structures, the known aspects of life. Lack of initiative and risk-taking.

 Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced third chakra

• Victim mentality, constantly blaming others for one’s own failures, or blaming the system but not doing anything about it, being passive, even unreliable
• Or, on the flip side, being overly dominant and aggressive, exhibiting a powerful desire to control people and situations, always insisting that things happen your way, lack of mental flexibility, stubbornness, arrogance, fierce competition
• All types of eating disorders, addiction to stimulants or sedatives, poor digestion, frequent stomach problems

Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced fourth chakra

• Narcissistic tendencies, caring more about how you look versus how you feel, an unchanging desire to impress others, to do anything to win others’ approval
• Codependency, clingy behavior, feeling jealous easily, sometimes sacrificing so much so you can later use it against people to keep them connected to you, manipulation
• Endless criticism of self and others whether these are outwardly expressed or not, the mind always racing to criticize and judge, notice how things aren’t perfect, how YOU aren’t perfect, and you “fail” at everything, lack of acceptance of our perfect imperfections

Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced fifth chakra

• Experiencing difficulty putting emotions into words, shyness, weak voice, feeling afraid to express opinions, afraid to speak in front of others
• On the flip side, talking incessantly, talking not to communicate and share but to keep others away, talking as a defense, constantly interrupting others, not knowing when to stop talking, not knowing how to listen
• Not believing that his/her own voice is necessary or important, not believing that what she/he has to say matters

• Poor memory, difficulty visualizing things or imagining a good future, not remembering dreams, denial of the reality in front of the person, refusing to see the reality, having negative fantasies

• Difficulty concentrating, mindlessly going through the day

Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced seventh chakra

• Apathy, exaggerated “coolness,” not caring about things that actually truly matter, hiding anxieties and faking calm
• Over-intellectualization, trying to explain everything through rational, tangible, scientific ways – it’s like refusing to believe in gravity until it’s proven by scientists – refusing spirituality
• Or, on the flip side, being “too” spiritual, avoiding the body’s needs, bills, etc., escaping into spiritualism, almost turning it into addiction and believing that this way of life is superior.

Healing your chakras

While there are many things you can do to heal your chakra, there’s a limit to what one can do alone. We need other people for our mental and emotional health – as humans, we are pack animals, and nothing can change this fact. We can resent others because of this or we can open ourselves to them, learn to recognize toxicity where it appears, learn to repair relationships or walk away when needed. It is through relationships we evolve the most.

All that being said, there’re many things you can do to support your chakric health. Here are the most important ones.

1. First chakra – physical exercise as well as breathing exercises such as pranayama, meditation
2. Second chakra – allowing intimacy physically and emotionally, 12-step programs (if dealing with addictions)
3. Third chakra – stress reduction techniques such as yoga, meditation, or any other technique that helps, psychotherapy, vigorous cardio exercises and also Pilates
4. Fourth chakra – keeping a journal, practicing self-acceptance, psychotherapy and/or counseling work
5. Fifth chakra – singing, learning to release the voice, get neck and shoulder massages, art for the sake of fun, sharing what matters
6. Sixth chakra – working with visual art, practicing memorization techniques, dreamwork, guided visualizations and meditations, past-life readings and past-life regression techniques
7. Seventh chakra – balance the worldly and the spiritual in your life, examine your belief systems and try to cultivate flexibility wherever you find rigidity.

All these practices might take time to practice on a regular basis and that’s perfectly fine. We’ve all descended on earth to learn and we have our whole lives to do so.
