Ever had a day when you feel off for no reason? You’re not alone, Chakras are energy spots in your body that affect how you feel, think, and even how healthy you are.

“Small shifts in your energy can create big shifts in your life.”
You don’t need to meditate on a mountaintop or chant in Sanskrit to keep your chakras aligned. Here are some practical tips anyone can follow:

When you feel “off,” don’t ignore it. Check which chakra that emotion connects to and take action.
