Energy healer and Reiki practitioner Parita Shah explains that when the seven main chakras are open and balanced, energy can flow freely through our bodies and minds.

So the best way to start balancing all of your chakras and working toward well-being is to start at the root and work your way up to the crown, one chakra at a time. If you're in balance, you'll feel empowered to take creative risks, embrace your sexuality, and be an extrovert. If you're out of balance, you'll often feel like they don't hear you, aka you'll be the doormat in relationships.
