Opening the chakras
In a harmoniously developed talented person, all chakras are open and work very harmoniously. It is through the chakras that the connection to various subtle planes of existence is carried out - if some chakra is closed, the abilities of this level are inaccessible. Therefore, it is important to open the chakras, to harmonize their work.
Traditionally, the chakras open from the bottom up, from the first to the seventh. This method has a drawback - after the opening of the three lower chakras, a person not only receives all the talents and opportunities accompanying them, but also opens up to the corresponding energies, sometimes very aggressive.
There is another option - the opening of the chakras from the top to the bottom. In this case, the chakras of the upper level are first worked through, after which there is a natural descent down to the chakras of vitality, sexual energy and kundalini energy. In this case, a person already has a powerful spiritual base, so a collision with powerful aggressive energies of the lower chakras will not harm him.
Regardless of which option you choose, chakra opening is best done under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
