How to check your chakras According to Barbara Ann Brennan, author of Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field, the best way to begin sensing the states of the chakras is to use apendulum. A pendulum acts as an amplifier for the energy flow produced by each chakra. Observing how this energy manifests in the pendulum's swing can give you a great deal of information about your chakras. Keep in mind that the chakras are constantly adjusting as they go through different phases of opening and closing - adjusting and realigning to the overall body's ever-changing energy flows. An open chakra is good, but a closed one is not necessarily bad. It is a function of the body's energy system to vary the energy that flows through these portals. There are times when a closed chakra is necessary to the overall health of the individual as it processes issues related to that chakra. Important note: You don't need a special pendulum to do any of the following exercises. Any pendulum will work. If you are concerned about using an optimal weight-stone that is chakra neutral, a quartz weight-stone may give you the most unbiased results. There many different ways to use a pendulum assess chakras, but here are three simple, easy ways to do it:  Get help from a friend This first method requires the assistance of another person. In order to get a good reading, it's essential that both of you free your minds of any expected outcomes. To get started, lie down on your back and have the other person hold a pendulum a few inches above your body at each chakra location, systematically writing down the direction and size of the pendulum swing for each. Turn over and repeat. Then, compare the two sets of readings for front and back. Look for differences in each chakra. Compare the swing size and look for differences there. A large swing means more energy is propelling it. A small swing, less energy. Ideally, each chakra will be "open" and produce a swing of approximately the same size throughout. More likely, however, there will be some differences among the various chakras, front and back. Identifying these that can help you pinpoint imbalances or blockages you'll want to address. Below is a table that shows how to interpret the pendulum readings. Pendulum Movement Chakra State Meaning Clockwise Open Energy is in balance and flowing freely Counterclockwise Closed Energy is restricted, out of balance, or blocked Straight line (either direction) Partially open/closed Energy imbalance and/or partial blockage Elliptical Right/Left side imbalance Energy is flowing, though out of balance on one or both sides No movement Blocked No energy is moving through, full blockage
