Keeping our own energy systems clear and balanced is foundational for being at our best physically, men- tally, emotionally and spiritually.

Awareness is key and one way to be aware of our own energetic state is to do a self-assessment of our chakras.

For those who don’t, we have included three methods below. wo of these methods rely on the body to express its inner wisdom. Ways to assess your chakras: 1. Use a pendulum. Hold yo ur pen dulum in one hand with your other hand below the pendulum, palm up. Ten ask your pendulum to show you each chakra starting with the crown. ake a mo- ment with each chakra to note the swing of the pendulum. If it swings in a clock wise circle and about 4” in diameter , your chakra is open and balanced. If it swings in any other pattern or in a smaller or larger circle, it is compromised and needs some loving attention. If you don’t own a pendulum, a tea bag with a string or a necklace with a weighty pendant can do in a pinch. 2. Standing with your feet hip-distance apart and your knees soft (not locked), start circling your hips in a clockwise circle. Once your h ips are loosened up and circling freely, place your hand on your crown chakra and ask to be shown the spin of that chakra. Your hips will act like a pendulum and show you the direction of the spin of your crown chakra. A clockwise spin of your hips means your chakra is open and balanced. Any other direction, whether in a straight line, an elliptical shape or a counter-clockwise circle, indicates the chakra is compromised. Note the direction of the crown chakra. Ten continue to each chakra, finishing with the root chakra. 3. Another way to assess your chakras i s to use muscle testing. Writer Sandy Wright* (watch for her article in an upcoming issue of Energy Maga- zine) explains a simple method of muscle test- ing: standing straight and balanced, lean forward and tell your body that this is what a ‘yes’ looks like. Ten lean backwards and tell your body this is what a ‘no’ looks like. Stand straight and bal- anced again; now ask your body to show you a ‘yes.’ Wait patien tly without thinking about it too much. Your body should feel pulled in the forward direction. It is very subtle but noticeable. Once you feel comfortable using muscle testing, you can pose the question, “Is my crown (or other) chakra open and balanced?” Or conversely, “Does my root chakra need to be balanced?” Record your findings below, then offer yourself some self-care.

Keeping our own energy systems clear and balanced
is foundational for being at our best physically, men-
tally, emotionally and spiritually. For energy medicine
practitioners, it is essential for being effective in ourhealing work with clients. Awareness is key and one
way to be aware of our own energetic state is to do a
self-assessment of our chakras. When we know where
our imbalances lie, we can use techniques on ourselves
to clear and rebalance our energy systems.
Below is a chart for recording the state of your chakras.
You can use it to look for patterns over time or simply
before and after a self-treatment. Tere are many ways
of assessing your own chakras and you may already
have your own method. For those who don’t, we haveincluded three methods below. wo of these methods
rely on the body to express its inner wisdom.
Ways to assess your chakras:
1. Use a pendulum. Hold your pendulum in one
hand with your other hand below the pendulum,
palm up. Ten ask your pendulum to show you
each chakra starting with the crown. ake a mo-
ment with each chakra to note the swing of the
pendulum. If it swings in a clockwise circle and
about 4” in diameter, your chakra is open and
balanced. If it swings in any other pattern or in
a smaller or larger circle, it is compromised and
needs some loving attention. If you don’t own a
pendulum, a tea bag with a string or a necklace
with a weighty pendant can do in a pinch.
2. Standing with your feet hip-distance apart and
your knees soft (not locked), start circling your
hips in a clockwise circle. Once your hips are
loosened up and circling freely, place your hand on
your crown chakra and ask to be shown the spin
of that chakra. Your hips will act like a pendulum
and show you the direction of the spin of yourcrown chakra. A clockwise spin of your hips means
your chakra is open and balanced. Any other
direction, whether in a straight line, an elliptical
shape or a counter-clockwise circle, indicates the
chakra is compromised. Note the direction of
the crown chakra. Ten continue to each chakra,
finishing with the root chakra.

ing your chakras. Here are three techniques from the Heal-
ing ouch perspective to try. o quickly clear compromised
chakras, use either Magnetic Passes/Hands in Motion (HIM) or
Magnetic Passes/Hands Still (HS). o use HIM, hold your palms
facing the chakra but not touching the body. With a gentle
brushing movement, sweep your hands above the chakra with
the intention of clearing it. Continue until you feel an energetic
shift or the process feels complete. o use HS, place your hands
on or above the compromised chakra, holding the intention to
clear and open it. If you have more time, try the full-body tech-
nique Self Chakra Connection to balance and open the entire
body (find it on the Healing ouch Program website - www.
healingtouchprogram.com/content_assets/docs/current/Self-
CC-handout1.pdf).
After you have given yourself an energy treatment, check your
chakras again to see the results of your self-care. If one or moreof your chakras is still compromised, be gentle with yourself. If
you have the time, you can clear it now using the same tech-
nique, another method, or come back to it later. Your body,
mind and spirit will be grateful for whatever energetic care you
offer yourself.
Regular assessment and self-care is helpful to remain clear
and balanced. Our energy fields shift moment by moment in
response to both external and internal factors. For some, daily
assessment may work best. For others, weekly may be more
realistic. Experiment with what works best for you.
Recommendation
Before beginning any energy technique, center and ground
yourself. Being centered is being fully present, connected with-
in, focused and open to guidance. o center, take a few deep
breaths and as you exhale, release tension, worry and thoughts.
As you breathe in, receive calm and replenishing energy.
Grounding is feeling connected to the earth and to your own
physical body, being alert and conscious of the present mo-
ment. o ground, you can imagine yourself as a tree with roots
reaching into the earth or just focus on your feet. You can also
use images or affirmations to facilitate being fully present and
in the body.
