Your 7 Chakras are an energetic ecosystem running through your body, each one influencing a unique area of your life.

When a Chakra is strong, its corresponding area of life thrives. And when it’s not, you’ll likely experience physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blocks.

So do you have a favorite way to open and balance your Chakras?

Many people meditate. Some practice yoga. Others craft elaborate daily rituals to keep themselves in optimal energetic condition.

But if you’re a beginner or you just don’t have the time or patience to do this kind of work, there’s an easier way to open your Chakras:

Just open your mouth, and eat :-)

Yes, according to chakra healing tradition, there are specific foods known for balancing each of the 7 Chakras.
