The incredible thing about our chakras is that we all have different configurations based on our backgrounds, experiences, and lifestyle. That means that some of our chakras may be blocked or damaged just like many other people… BUT because we’ve lived a different life and made different choices, the manifestations will be unique to each one.

How do you know if your chakra energy centers are blocked or damaged or off-balance or just undercharged and weak? In this post, you’ll learn the difference between a blocked chakra and a damaged chakra, the ways that chakras become blocked or damaged, and the symptoms that can show up when your chakra energy system is unbalanced.

WHAT IS A CHAKRA BLOCKAGE?

As chakras are spinning wheels of energy that connect the physical body to the energetic field that function by taking in energy and feeding it to the physical body as well as supporting the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a person, they can become congested with low vibrational energy.

Having a chakra blockage means that something is preventing a chakra from taking in energy. Subsequently, the hindered energy flow will affect the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person causing symptoms to arise. If subtle imbalances can be found and cleared before the manifestation of symptoms, problems can be averted.

If a chakra blockage is minimal, symptoms may not be noticeable. However, if a chakra is blocked for a long period of time, the chakra obstruction is severe, or there is also chakra damage, the symptoms will be more noticeable in your life and harder to clear on your own.

WHAT IS CHAKRA DAMAGE?

In my exploration of the chakra energy system, I have noticed that chakras can have structural problems like rips, tears, holes, popped vortexes, scar bands, etc. I call this chakra damage.

Unlike chakra blockages that can be cleared with sounds, crystals, and colors, chakra damage is more difficult to repair. A person with a damaged chakra can exhibit the same symptoms as if they had a blocked chakra. However, damaged chakras require a different approach in order for them to regain their function.
