Clearing trauma from your Chakra system is very important to your physical and emotional wellbeing. Interestingly keeping your chakra system clear, clean and energised is also crucial to keeping you on the path with your soul's life purpose. So if you want to feel healthy, happy and clear about the meaning and purpose of your life, do consider Chakra Energy Healing as a worthwhile practice.
Defining Chakras and their Significance
Every human and indeed every living creature has an elegant electromagnetic energy field or "life force" system associated with it. It is this life force field that gives rise to physical existence. This energy field is a subtle body or structure with major "functioning hubs" (referred to as the "Chakras").
Chakras are swirling energy centres located along the central axis of the body, aligned from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. The term "chakra" originates from the Sanskrit word for "wheel", signifying the dynamic, circular movement of energy within these centres. These Chakras receive universal energy from the Cosmic Energy field and transform it into a usable form for an individual's specific needs. Clairvoyants who are able to see these chakras have for thousands of years described them as having a wheel-like structure. However, to really appreciate their complexity it is more useful to imagine these as multi-dimensional spheres.
The Impact of Trauma on Overall Health
Trauma is an emotional response to distressing events that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope. It can have profound and lasting effects on a person's mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Traumatic experiences can be diverse, and understanding the different types of trauma is crucial in supporting individuals who have endured such events.
1. Physical Trauma
Physical trauma refers to injuries caused by accidents, violence or other physical events. It includes incidents like car accidents, falls, sports injuries and acts of violence. Physical trauma can result in physical pain, disability, and sometimes long-term medical conditions.
2. Emotional or Psychological Trauma
Emotional or psychological trauma stems from events that evoke intense fear, helplessness or horror. It can result from experiences such as abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, or sudden loss of a loved one. Emotional trauma often leaves deep emotional scars, affecting an individual's self-esteem, trust and ability to form healthy relationships.
3. Sexual Trauma
Sexual trauma involves non-consensual sexual experiences, including rape, sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse. It can lead to severe psychological distress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and difficulties in forming intimate relationships.
4. Complex Trauma
Complex trauma occurs when an individual experiences repeated or prolonged traumatic events, often during childhood or in ongoing abusive relationships. It may involve emotional, physical and sexual abuse, neglect or exposure to violence. Complex trauma can have far-reaching effects on a person's emotional regulation, identity and ability to trust others.
5. Developmental Trauma
Developmental trauma results from adverse experiences during critical developmental stages, such as childhood. It can disrupt healthy emotional, cognitive and social development, leading to challenges in emotional regulation, learning and forming secure attachments.
6. Vicarious Trauma
Vicarious trauma, also known as secondary trauma, occurs when individuals indirectly experience trauma through witnessing or listening to others' traumatic experiences. It is common among healthcare professionals, first responders and caregivers, who may develop symptoms similar to those of the primary trauma survivors.
7. Medical Trauma
Medical trauma refers to traumatic experiences related to medical procedures, hospitalisations or chronic illnesses. It can trigger fear, anxiety and feelings of powerlessness, particularly in individuals with a history of medical traumas or health-related anxiety.
Traumatic experiences can vary widely, and their impact on mental health can be profound. Recognising and understanding the different types of trauma is essential in providing appropriate support and care to those who have experienced these distressing events. Compassionate and trauma-informed approaches, along with professional mental health intervention, can help survivors navigate the healing process and reclaim their resilience and wellbeing.
Healing and Rebalancing a Chakra Affected by Trauma
You may be wondering; what causes a chakra to be impacted by trauma? Well, every experience has an energetic pattern and trauma has a somewhat distorting pattern. When you are involved in a traumatic experience the energy of the event interferes with the inherent healthy energetic structure of your chakras and distortion occurs. Somewhat like a virus affecting the software in your computer or a thunderstorm melting the capacitor in your air conditioner.
So now you are probably wondering; how can I heal, repair and rebalance a chakra affected by trauma. Generally speaking, some trauma can be cleared through self-help methods, whilst more serious trauma may need an energy practitioner to use more complex techniques to obtain optimum results.
If you wish to keep your chakras well-functioning, some preventative practices are important. These can be summed up as being true to yourself and becoming present to the times when you are not releasing strong emotion in response to personal and group experiences.
For example, imagine someone insulting you in the parking lot and compare it with a far more traumatic experience and memory of a parent bashing you in a drunken fit. After the experience mentioned in the parking lot, you may just need to take a deep breath, shout back or laugh back at the person who insulted you, to release the impact of the attack on your wellbeing. Whilst in comparison, the second experience of being bashed by a drunk parent may need years in clearing from your chakras. This is because the event is more violent and it is from someone in your "inner sanctum" with whom you have a karmic connection.
The first experience will need simple self-help whilst the second will most probably require more time and possibly the aid of an energy healer. The reason a healer is needed more often in the second instance is that releasing such trauma from your chakra system will sometimes be jarring on your physical and mental equilibrium as the actual disruption is being released.
The healer was not involved in the original event and so their clarity, objectivity, technical energy knowledge and nurturing support will help make the release more likely to succeed. This can be thought of in similar terms to cleaning your home after a damaging storm. There is likely to be a lot more to clean, clear and repair than is necessary in your usual housekeeping routine. The task can be overwhelming and upsetting as well as hard to complete without some assistance from professional tradespeople.

Precautions and Limitations in Energy Healing for Clearing Trauma from Chakras
Energy healing practices, such as chakra clearing, have gained popularity as complementary approaches to support emotional wellbeing and healing from trauma. While they can be beneficial for many individuals, it is essential to be aware of certain precautions and limitations associated with these practices.
1. Not a Substitute for Medical Treatment: Energy healing should never replace conventional medical treatment for physical or mental health conditions. While chakra clearing may complement traditional therapies, it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Individuals experiencing severe trauma or mental health issues should seek the guidance of qualified healthcare professionals.
2. Individual Response Varies: Each person's experience with energy healing can differ significantly. While some may find profound relief and positive effects from chakra clearing, others may not experience the same level of results. Individual responses are influenced by various factors, including personal beliefs, openness to energy work, and the nature of the trauma being addressed.
3. Healing Process Takes Time: Clearing trauma from chakras is not a quick fix. Healing is a gradual and multifaceted process that may require multiple sessions and ongoing self-care practices. Patience and commitment to the healing journey are crucial for achieving long-lasting benefits.
4. Trained and Qualified Practitioners: To ensure safe and effective energy healing, seek the services of trained and qualified practitioners. Experienced professionals possess a deeper understanding of the techniques involved and can tailor the healing process to an individual's specific needs and trauma history.
5. Possible Emotional Release: Chakra clearing can sometimes trigger emotional releases or reactions during or after a session. These emotions are a natural part of the healing process and should be acknowledged and processed with care. Practitioners should create a safe and supportive environment to allow clients to express and manage their emotions.
6. Respecting Personal Boundaries: It is essential for both clients and practitioners to respect personal boundaries during energy healing sessions. Individuals should communicate any discomfort or concerns, and practitioners should ensure consent and maintain appropriate physical and emotional boundaries.
7. Not Suitable for Everyone: While energy healing can benefit many, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions or energy sensitivities may need to exercise caution or avoid specific energy healing practices altogether. Always consult with a healthcare professional before engaging in energy healing if you have any concerns about its suitability for you.
Energy healing for clearing trauma from chakras can offer a holistic and supportive approach to emotional healing. However, it is crucial to approach these practices with caution, understanding the precautions and limitations involved. By seeking guidance from a qualified practitioner and integrating energy healing as a complement to conventional care, you can navigate your healing journey more effectively and improve your overall wellbeing.
