7 ways to ACTIVATE your SOUL WINDOWS..

Blocks in the chakras are called granthis, or knots, that keep the energy of Shakti or Kundalini from passing through, although we have come to call them ''nots'' as well, meaning places where we are not aware, or places where we say ''I will Not.'' A chakra may be deficient in its functioning, meaning there is constriction that results in too little energy flowing in and out of that chakra, or it may be excessive, meaning there is too much focus on a particular chakra level, making the chakra dense and stagnant. You could say that the deficient chakras are a result of an avoidant strategy in that chakra, which in the yoga kleshas or afflictions, call dvesha, meaning avoidance.

An excessive chakra, by contrast, functions as a compensation or fixation at a particular level, similar to the yoga concept of raga, or attachment. One of the goals of chakra healing is to balance the energy flow through each chakra through balancing attachment or avoidance that occurs at any level as the result of our childhood conditioning. In this way, the ancient map of the chakras becomes relevant to our inner psychology, bridging Eastern and Western philosophies.
