You may think I am exaggerating or being hyperbolic when I say your life depends on re-balancing, relaxing and unwinding. But I'm not. Think about it. How often do you feel exhausted, cranky, or drained? Do you find yourself snapping at your family for tiny things? Do you find yourself getting angry at strangers for no reason? We all have had those feelings before.

We all have been unreasonably angry over tiny little things, and that's going to happen from time to time. It's normal to be agitated from time to time. That's stress.

For many of us, it's a daily occurrence. Living like that can, and does cause anxiety, depression, and many other illnesses. Chronic stress is dangerous and causes heart attacks, headaches, muscle twitches, and a number of other ailments. It increases cortisol levels in your body which increases belly fat, causes skin issues and really does a number on your body.

So, what can we do about it? We live in a world where everything is moving fast and everything needs to be done right now, or as my mom would say, "It needs to be done, like, yesterday." What we need is some time to slow down. If you can carve out a little bit of time to meditate each week with an expert yo guide you and help your brain settle down, it would make a world of difference. When your brain settles, and your chakras open and are aligned your immune system gets a boost and you are literally healing yourself.

Chakras are energy centers in your body that help with everything from hormonal balance to blood flow and muscle repair. Chakras were discovered over 5,000 years ago. Just recently scientists have gotten on board with what yogis have known for eons and recognize chakras as a real thing. Scientists have been studying what happens when people do different types of meditation and have found that opening and aligning the chakras really helps with just about every physical process in the human body.
