Unblock Your Energy Centres
and Balance Your Chakras

But, Why Do This?

Well, if your energy flows freely in and around your body, then you are able to experience vibrant health and well-being. This puts you in the best position to enjoy a positive and long life.

What Are Chakras

In your body are energy centres that are each attached to a hormone secreting gland. These glands control your vital life force energy.

7 - Hypothalamus Gland - Pineal Gland regulates biological cycles and sleep

6 - Pituitary Gland - 3rd Eye Chakra regulates all glands

5 - Thyroid Gland - Throat Chakra regulates temperature

4 - Thymus Gland - Heart Chakra regulates immune system

3 - Pancreas Gland - Solar Pexus Chakra regulates metabolism

2 - Adrenal Glands - Sacral Chakra regulates immune system

1 - Ovaries/Testes Glands - Root Chakra controls sex hormones

What Methods Can You Use?

There are several great way of balancing your energy centres. Here are some of my favourites...

1 - Tibetan Yoga... a simple yoga stretching routine, discussed below...

2 - Meridian Balancing uses a series of muscle tests to ask the body which organs have restricted energy. Then releasing those blockages with several unique healing techniques.

These can be carried out by an Applied Kinesiologist or Advanced Touch for Health Therapist. I have carried out 1,000's of these treatments in my healing practice in Bognor Regis, West Sussex UK.

3 - Lymphatic Massage uses a specific massage routine aimed at releasing blocked energy, waste, and toxins.

I also use this in my healing practice, but, with a little research you can find out the key lymphatic centres and massage yourself with great results.

Tibetan Yoga Exercise to Balance Your Chakras

There are plenty of different forms of yoga available. Many systems have been around for hundreds of years. Some involve dozens of complex movements, and others just a few key stretches.

But, whatever the differences, every system states that yoga practise can improve your health, fitness, and well-being.

Why Choose Yoga, and not some other system of exercise?

Well, many forms of exercise can be of benefit to your health, if practised in the right way. A 20 minute exercise routine, 3 times a week is the minimum that most experts advise. This includes warm-up, joint rotations, stretching, strength, endurance, and stamina training, etc.

Bear in mind that over-training is likely to cause more harm than good!

Some people become obsessed with exercise, to the point where it is like a drug to them. You can see this in many competitive sports where people push their bodies beyond their limits leading to injury and disappointment.

Some exercise routines are designed to develop useful skills like martial arts. These teach discipline, respect, confidence, and self defence, along with the health benefits of training regularly.

But, again, there is the risk of over-training, which does not benefit your health. Training too hard, in any system, is likely to do more harm than good. After all, the real aim of exercise is keep you in good condition...

Right?

I recommend a simple form of yoga, practised every day to balance your energy, vitalise your inner organs, and harmonise your body, mind, and spirit. This is what makes it one of the best exercise systems available.

So, what system of Yoga will YOU practise?

It all depends on how much time you have available. You may want to go to yoga classes and practise with others, or like me, practise alone. By practising in a class, you have the benefit of an experienced teacher to adjust your movements and improve the form.

But, by practising alone, you have the added benefit of deciding when, where, and how you exercise. Personally I practise a simple form of Tibetan Yoga, which takes around 10-15 minutes a day.

Why Tibetan Yoga?

A simple form of Tibetan Yoga is easier to remember and perform, which allows you to relax more and stops your mind from being too active. It focuses the movements on balancing your chakras for the Best Results!

Just five simple exercises are needed to develop flexibility, exercise your muscles, and stimulate your inner organs.

The system I use was brought to the attention of the world by Peter Kelder in 1939 in his book The Eye of Revelation. It told of a retired British army officer who was taught the routine by monks in a remote Tibetan monastery in the Himalayas.

After a while, the officer noticed that his body looked and felt younger, and he believed that the Tibetan Exercises caused this rejuvenation.

Tibetan Monks have used this method for thousands of years. It offers you a key to living a long, vibrant and health life.

Boost The Benefits of Tibetan Yoga

First of all, practise the 5 Exercises Every Day. Each exercise is to be performed 21 times, which may take you a few weeks to achieve.

It is recommended that you start with just 3 repetitions of each exercise, and then add a few more each day.

This ensures that you don't over-do it, when you first begin. If your enthusiasm causes you to do too many, then you will strain your muscles and they will ache... which may put you off ;)

What Can YOU Do to Greatly Improve Your Results?

Well, there are several things that are essential. The main idea here is to treat your body and mind like a 'Temple'. In other words, treat it with respect, and only put in pure air, clean water, good food, positive thoughts and emotions, and take key action steps... Optimum Health Secrets
