I did an online Chakra Test a little while ago for fun and to find out which of my Chakras might be under/over active. Chakras are said to be energy centres of the body. The word Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. The lower Chakras rule our instincts/urges and the upper chakras rule our mental stuff. There are seven Chakras; the root, the sacral, the navel, the heart, the throat, the third eye, and the crown. Each Chakra has its own colours, crystals/stones, essential oils, meditative chants and what not that are supposed to help shift energy and open or regulate each chakra. So how does this relate to food? Well there are foods associated with each chakra as well so I'm thinking (of course :) Chakra food and juice! So in the spirit of can't hurt/might help - I'll be experimenting with & posting recipes for the chakras in the next few posts.
My Results..
