Enhance Your Chakra Balancing Practice With These 7 Essential Food Groups

Chakra is a sanskrit word that translates to “wheel of light”. Ancient Indian medicine decipher chakras to be rotating energy forces that diffuse energy from certain locations in the physical body. These chakras can be likened to seven power stations and are located along your spine — from the base, to the crown of our head — and maintenance of these chakras are practiced through chakra meditation.

There are seven major chakras which provide you with vital life force energy and keeps your body healthy. Balancing chakras is necessary for smooth and optimal flow of energy throughout your physical body.

Unbalanced chakras result in disrupted or blocked energy flow and this will increase your body’s susceptibility to a variety of illnesses – both emotional and physical.

There are a whole range of methods to maintain your chakras’ balance such as kundalini yoga, chakra meditation, crystals, aromatherapy, touch therapy, and a ton more.

But let’s start with the basics. Whatever you put in your body reflects on he outside, right? That includes your chakras as well. Whatever you feed them, affects their balance and energy flow.

I’m going to share with you the seven vital food groups — important components in your diet for balanced chakras:

1. Red foods.

This food group color is vital for the balancing of your root chakra or the Muladhara which is located at the base of your spine. This chakra rep­re­sents your foun­da­tion and feel­ing of being grounded, and is represented by the color red.

Dysfunctions from imbalance of your root chakra range from lower back aches, sciatica, depression to immune-related disorders.

Feed your root chakra: Apples, carrots, beets, onions, paprika & cayenne pepper.

2. Orange foods.

Your sacral chakra, or Svadisthana, which is located slightly below your navel is nourished by orange foods. This chakra rep­re­sents our con­nec­tion and abil­ity to accept oth­ers and new expe­ri­ences.

When imbalanced, you are immediately susceptible to range of gynelogical problems, eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, lowe rback pain, asthma, allergypelvic pains, libido, urinary problems, impotency and frigidity.

Feed your sacral chakra: Melons, mangoes, passion fruit, oranges, salmon and such.

Remember: When you nourish your sacral center, you also nourish your sexual, creative connection. As such, indulge.

3. Yellow foods.

Your solar plexus chakra or Manipura thrives the color yellow. This chakra is is located right below your breast, in your upper abdomen, and embodies your abil­ity to be con­fi­dent and in control of your life.

Dysfunctions such as stomach ulcers, gas, food allergies, digestive problems, diabetes, hypo­glycemia, con­sti­pa­tion, ner­vous­ness, tox­i­c­ity, par­a­sites, col­i­tis, poor memory typically occur when the solar plexus chakra is imbalanced.

Feed your solar plexus chakra: Granola and grains (i.e. pastas, breads, cereal, rices, flax seed, sunflower seeds), dairy produce and spices such as ginger, mints, chamomile, cumin and tumeric.

4. Green foods

Your heart chakra or Anahata thrives on the color green. This chakra is located in the cen­ter of chest, just above heart and represents your abil­ity to love.

Imbalances in your heart chakra result in dysfunctions such as heart and breath­ing dis­or­ders, heart and breast can­cer, chest pain, high blood pres­sure, pas­siv­ity, immune sys­tem prob­lems, mus­cu­lar tension and a difficulty in attaining inner peace.

Feed your heart chakra: Leafy green vegetables, air vegetables, green teas, basil, sage, thyme

5. Blue foods

Blue foods fuel your throat chakra or Vishuddhi which is located in your throat. This chakra rep­re­sents your abil­ity to com­mu­ni­cate with others.

Throat chakra imbalances result in illnesses such as Thy­roid imbal­ances, swollen glands, fevers and flu, infec­tions, mouth, jaw, tongue, neck and shoul­ders prob­lems, hyper­ac­tiv­ity, hor­monal dis­or­ders such as PMS, mood swings, bloat­ing and menopause.

If you’re wondering what natural blue foods you can feed this chakra, read on.

Feed your throat chakra: Liquids, tart or tangy fruits such as grapefruit or kiwi, spicessuch as salts and lemon grass.

6. Indigo / Deep Blue Foods

Indigo foods fuel your brow or third eye chakra or ajna which is located on your forehead, in between your eyes. Dysfunctions such as brain tumors, strokes, blindness, deafness, seizures, learning disabilities, spinal dysfunctions, panic, depression often arise from a lack of balance of this chakra.

Feed your third eye chakra: Blueberries, red grapes, black berries, red wines and grape juice, lavender and poppy seed

7. Purple foods.

Your crown chakra, or Sahasrara, is located at the very top of the head and represents your abil­ity to be fully con­nected spir­i­tu­ally.

Crown chakra imbalances usually result in a lack of a spiritual connection, headaches, pho­to­sen­si­tiv­ity, men­tal ill­nesses, neuralgia, senility, right/left brain dis­or­ders and coor­di­na­tion prob­lems, epilepsy and blood vessel problems

Feed your crown chakra: sage, copal, myrrh, frankincense, and juniper

Now that you’ve got the seven main color food groups for chakra balancing, you’re all set. I highly recommend chakra meditation as an accompaniment to this diet. You can very easily locate chakra meditation videos on YouTube or Google for this purpose. These guided meditation videos are usually accompanied by beautiful visuals and affirmations. These videos are amazing for beginner or veteran healers alike.

So balance your chakras today for optimal holistic health and I wish you all the best.
