Chakras represent various aspects of consciousness along with parts of the physical body, so maintaining well-balanced chakras may be essential when it comes to promoting a healthy mind and spirit — both key aspects of energy healing. Because of this interconnectedness, it’s not uncommon for tension in a particular part of consciousness to ultimately result in physical symptoms.

If you experience a bad relationship breakup, for example, you might feel it in your Heart chakra and could experience tension in the nerves associated with your heart. Over time, that held tension could intensify and manifest itself in outward physical symptoms that chakra healing and chakra balancing could resolve.

By regularly practicing energy healing techniques like chakra healing, you can address and may potentially even reverse the symptoms of physical disease and illness. Trapped Emotions or Emotional Baggage Can Cause Chakra Imbalance In the holistic community, the phrase “Trapped Emotions” is commonly used to describe any unconscious emotional energies which exist because of intense or traumatic emotional events that have not been fully processed and released from the body or mind.

When emotional energy like this becomes trapped, various organs or glands in the body could possibly become victims. Because each of the seven chakras correlates with an organ in the body, when an emotion becomes trapped in a body organ, it could interfere with the flow of energy through the chakra.
