Did you know the challenges you’re facing right now could actually be the result of a blocked energy flow or a chakra imbalance?
Here’s the thing: behind everything—your emotions, your experiences, your results—is energy. Most of us have been conditioned to only focus on the outer layer of reality: what we can see, touch, and measure. But if you’re on a spiritual path or awakening to your intuitive power, you already know that true healing starts within.
Your Life Challenges Could Be Chakra Imbalances
When something keeps showing up in your life—whether it’s emotional heaviness, repeating patterns, physical tension, or a sense of being stuck—it’s not always about the surface-level issue. Nine times out of ten, it’s about the energy behind it.
And that’s where chakra imbalances come in.
Understanding your chakra system and recognizing when your energy is out of alignment gives you the clarity and awareness to shift it. You can move forward and heal, not just temporarily—but deeply, from the inside out.
Behind Everything Is Energy
So let’s zoom out. Think of it like layers of consciousness.
Instead of only focusing on physical symptoms or outcomes, let’s look at the layers beneath that. Every physical result is preceded by an action. That action is driven by a feeling. That feeling stems from a thought. And that thought is simply energy in motion.
This is the flow of your inner world:
Energy → Thought → Emotion → Action → Repeated Pattern → Physical Result
If you’ve ever felt the urge to do something based on an emotion—like “I need to do this” or “I have to act now”—that chain reaction started from energy. So when you’re dealing with repeating challenges, it’s essential to go back to the energetic root.
This is exactly how energy healing works. We don’t just work from the outside in—we work from the inside out, beginning with your energy body.

The Mind-Body Connection: Where Healing Truly Happens
One of the core teachings in my energy healing work is that sustainable healing doesn’t come from surface-level fixes. It comes from working with your entire system—mind, body, spirit, and soul—through the lens of energy and the chakra system.
This isn’t about waving a magic wand and hoping it all goes away. This is intentional work rooted in the mind-body connection.
When your chakras are misaligned, the energy isn’t flowing properly. That energetic misalignment creates distorted thoughts, which influence your emotions, which shape your actions, which reinforce your reality.
But here’s the empowering part:
When you shift the energy, everything else shifts.
You don’t need to chase down symptoms or slap a bandaid on your problems. You go to the root, and you heal from there.

Common Chakra Imbalances
Now this is a different way of looking at healing because it taps into how the mind-body connection shows up energetically. So, let’s go over some common chakra imbalances so you can start to recognize how they play out in your life.
Root Chakra Imbalances
Let’s start with the Root Chakra.
Imbalances here often show up in your relationship to money, how supported you feel in life, and even your physical home. You might find yourself neglecting basic needs—like not feeding yourself properly or skipping meals—which reflects a deep sense of instability! When the root chakra is off, it throws the entire system off, because this chakra governs your sense of safety and survival. It can trigger the fight, flight, or freeze response. This is a survival chakra—so when it’s out of balance, everything else feels shaky.
Sacral Chakra Imbalances
Next, let’s talk about the Sacral Chakra.
This chakra influences your emotions, creativity, sexuality, and pleasure. If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, creatively blocked, or disconnected from your sensuality or sexual identity, this chakra is usually involved. It also governs how we receive—whether that’s love, abundance, or joy. If you’re struggling with receiving, constantly giving, or suppressing pleasure, this is your sacral speaking.
Solar Plexus Chakra Imbalances
Moving up to the Solar Plexus.
This one’s all about identity, confidence, and personal power. It shows up in how you view your career, how you express your ego, or even how you try to control your environment. If you’re feeling powerless, overly controlling, or lacking direction, it’s often a sign of a solar plexus imbalance. It’s the seat of your willpower—how you show up and take action as you.
Heart Chakra Imbalances
Now, onto the Heart Chakra.
This is deeply connected to your relationships, both with others and with yourself. If you’re noticing a lot of drama, insecurity, jealousy, or feeling unloved or disconnected—it could be a heart chakra imbalance. But it’s not just about others. It’s also about you. How do you treat yourself? Are you kind to yourself? Because if that relationship is out of alignment, your external relationships will reflect that.
Let me give you a great example using relationships—because I know so many of us can relate to this. Think about this:
You have thoughts about relationships.
You have feelings about relationships.
You take actions in relationships.
Those repeated thoughts and emotions become beliefs.
And those beliefs determine the kind of relationships you attract.
So your heart chakra is this energetic bridge that carries those internal beliefs outward—and that’s how you start to see patterns repeat. This is the mind-body-spirit connection in real-time.
To help you pinpoint exactly which chakra may be out of alignment, I created a Chakra Healing Quiz.
Because I know this is a lot to take in, and sometimes we just need clarity. The quiz will help you figure out your dominant chakra imbalance and give you some easy starting points for healing. You can take the quiz at:
theawakenedstate.net/chakra-quiz
Throat Chakra Imbalances
The Throat Chakra is all about communication and expression.
If you struggle to speak your truth, fear being seen or heard, or have visibility wounds, this chakra is likely involved. You might feel invisible or misunderstood. And here’s a big one: you might be lying to yourself—pretending to be someone you’re not, staying silent when you want to speak up. That’s a throat chakra misalignment.
Third Eye Chakra Imbalances
The Third Eye Chakra is about intuition and perception.
It’s not just about psychic gifts—it’s about how you see reality. When this chakra is off, you might feel stuck in limited thinking or false beliefs. You may also fall into escapism—whether that’s addiction, obsessive thoughts, or just disconnecting from reality altogether. It’s a sign that you’re ungrounded, maybe overly in your head or spiritual world, and need to come back into the body.
Crown Chakra Imbalances
And finally, the Crown Chakra.
This one governs your spiritual connection, belief systems, and trust. When it’s imbalanced, you may not trust yourself—or trust in a higher power. You might struggle with your beliefs, or even swing to the other extreme and become what I call spiritually addicted—so lost in the spiritual world that you forget to be human. You forget to eat, to rest, to just be here now. That’s a sign that the crown is overactive or out of balance. You gotta get out of outer space and back into the now moment 😉
So to summarize all of this:
I created the Chakra Quiz to help you get clarity on where your energy is most imbalanced right now. Because usually, we’re focused on a specific area of life—and that correlates with a particular chakra that needs healing. The quiz dives deep and asks questions that reveal exactly where you might be having a chakra imbalance and what to start doing about it.
