Chakras are the seven energy centers in the human body. Chakras are aligned vertically, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
When your chakras are blocked or out of sync, your physical and psychological health are affected in a negative way. There are many different ways to open your chakras, including yoga, meditation, reiki, massage, and crystals.
This article focuses on opening chakras through affirmations, which function like exercises for your outlook and your mind. They’re positive statements you repeat to yourself to fight self-sabotage and overcome negative thoughts. Repeating them often helps you make positive changes.
Affirmations can reprogram thought patterns so we begin to think and act differently. Affirmations’ power lies in repetition. It’s helpful to recite affirmations two or three times a day. To help you remember, program them to pop up in your phone notifications!

Affirmations are a very effective method to open your chakras. You can turn affirmations into a ritual by using them in a ceremonial setting with candles or aromatherapy oils.
