Five Steps To Harmonize Your Chakras

Batteries depleted, chronic stress, low morale. Mayia Alleaume, sound therapist and lithotherapist, shares her meditation tips to reconnect body and mind.

To cope with a fast-paced daily life or the digitalization of minds which often induces stress, tension or fatigue, Mayia Alleaume, sound therapist, lithotherapist and creator of the Sentara Holistic energetic beauty house , offers her meditation advice to reconnect the body and mind and align our energies.

Aligning your chakras yourself 

To oxygenate all the body’s cells and start the day stress-free, the specialist recommends practicing meditation—or mindful breathing—as soon as you wake up. This practice, even just a few minutes a day, promotes relaxation and the production of the two “happiness hormones”: dopamine (the hormone of immediate pleasure) and serotonin (the happiness hormone that stabilizes mood over time). “The results are visible on the skin, hair, mind, and spirit in a short time,” Mayia Alleaume also states. If you’ve never practiced meditation, the specialist reveals all the steps to follow. Guaranteed relaxation in 5 steps.

The 5-step protocol

1. The power of stones

Located from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, the chakras represent the seven main energy centers, each connected to a specific part of the body and an organ. If one of the chakras is unbalanced, energy flows poorly, automatically impacting your energy levels and mood. To harmonize your chakras and reconnect body and mind, the crystal therapist recommends choosing the right stone before each meditation session . These stones, carrying vibrational information, act directly on well-being and emotions. Their color also plays a role, as each chakra is associated with a particular color. Therefore, if you wish to rebalance the heart chakra, the symbol of expressing feelings, love, and inner peace, choose a pink stone (rose quartz, malachite, rhodonite). After finding the stone corresponding to the chakra in question, settle comfortably and begin the session with a sound (bell, chime, crystal bowl, etc.) and play it three times.

2. The right placement

Lying down – on your back or stomach – place the stone on the chakra you wish to balance. For the heart chakra, place the stone (see previous point) in the center of your chest. To rebalance the root chakra, choose a red stone (such as garnet or ruby) and place it on your tailbone. This will help you regain energy, strength, vitality, and self-confidence. Alternatively, if you choose to sit cross-legged, hold the stone in the palm of your open left hand, supported by your right hand, and breathe calmly.

3. The “song” of visualization

To reduce and prevent stress and anxiety, and to improve your well-being, close your eyes and visualize the chakra in its corresponding color. How? By imagining an object, a sound, a situation, a sensation, or even a real or metaphorical emotion… Once you have achieved this mental visualization, chant the sound “HAM” eight times in a row.

4. Take time to breathe

Feel all the vibrations inside your mouth and throughout your body, breathe and stay in that vibration for a while.

5. Regain consciousness

Come back to yourself and end the session by playing the chosen sound (bell, chime, crystal bowl…), once.
