Writing Articles: How to Use Chakra Energy to Write

The seven Chakras are the hidden energy centers in your body through which you receive, process and transmit vital energies. They act as "energy transformers" and influencers of change.

Your thoughts, emotions, or actions can block or activate these hidden energy centers. In this article, I address the ways to activate each of the Chakras to improve the writing of your article.

1. Base chakra: the energy of existence

This source of energy is associated with survival, self-preservation, and security. The main blocks to activating the Base Chakra are "self-sabotage" or self-talk full of doubts. The real tragedy is that unless you can handle these self-doubts, you cut yourself off from the other six sources of energy.

You can activate the Base Chakra by: * Facing your doubts as self-sabotage and challenging them * Visualizing your entire article and the sense of accomplishment you will experience with the publication * Sharing your concerns with others who have been successful in writing articles * Listening to your body and learn to release the tensions associated with writing articles

2. Naval chakra: the energy of activity

This source of energy is experienced as "emotion" and is associated with action, movement, creativity, and achievement. The main blockage of this source of energy is inactivity caused by procrastination and doubt.

You can activate the Naval Chakra by: * Consulting online forums and article directories for potential topics of interest to readers * Taking notes on the subject of an article * Aiming for a first draft (don't let your perfectionist streak get in the way! !) * Try "speed writing": write whatever comes to your mind without worrying about grammar, sentence structure or spelling (helps to thwart perfectionism) * Record your ideas: try using an audiotape to capture your ideas ideas

3. Solar plexus chakra: the energy of control

Eg painting, drawing or writing poetry * Being still: being in contact with nature and your own body * Taking a walk: physical activity provides a good balance for sitting and writing * Clearing clutter from your desk and your life: a cluttered workspace can clutter your mind
