What are your chakras? They are energy centers in your body that are embedded into your nervous system. When your chakras are aligned, energy flows easily. Either up towards the crown or down towards the root. You are fully aligned with your higher spirit when the energy flows up. When the energy flows down, you are manifesting through the chakras. The goal is to have them all open and working together. Having all of your chakras open and the energy spinning freely is your natural state, and manifesting is easy.

By paying attention to where your dreams and desires get stuck, you can see where your chakras are blocked. Take the time to go through them one by one and see where you must change to make those dreams and desires manifest.

Manifesting Through the Chakras
Crown Chakra
Your imagination and hunches start here. This is where you connect with your higher spirit and receive new ideas. The ones that excite you can then move on to the next chakra.
Take time to be still. Close your eyes. Take ten deep breaths and be open to receive. Ask for what you want. “What does my soul want me to do?” or “How can I expand my business?” or “Where can I find more abundance?” or “What will bring me joy?” Listen to the ideas that pop into your head that you maybe hadn’t thought of before. Write those down and choose one that excites you the most.
Third Eye Chakra
This chakra is called “The Eye of the Soul.” This is where “I” no longer exists, and you understand that you are part of a bigger picture. But when you are moving down the chakras, this is where you visualize your dream.
Take some time to sit quietly and visualize your dream as a future reality. See it fully manifested. Where are you? How do you feel? Who is around you? What does it look like? Do this as often as possible, even if it is just for a moment. The more you visualize and affirm that this can be a reality, your mind believes you, and you start doing things to make it happen.
Throat Chakra
The throat chakra gives voice to your dream by creatively expressing what you want. You can do this by writing, talking, painting, singing, or however you like to express yourself.
Write down what you need to do to make your dream a reality. Set SMART goals. Talk to your friends about it. Network with others who may have done something similar. Put your dream into the world and let the Universe know what you want.
Heart Chakra
The heart chakra is the connection between the top three and the bottom three chakras. It is the integration of earthly matters and spiritual matters. This is where you take your dream and start making it real.
The heart chakra is also the energy center for love and relationships. Love for yourself as well as others.
What do you love about your dream? How will your dream help others? Who in your life supports you and can help you make your dream come true?
Solar Plexus Chakra
This chakra is the actual energy behind what you want and do. This is your fire, personal power, self-discipline, and confidence. When this chakra is aligned, you put power behind your dreams and take action. Full steam ahead, not worried about what others will think. This is what you want, and you will make it a reality.
Create an action plan. Use what you have learned with your visualizations, creative expressions, and connections to write down the steps you need to take. Then do them. Make them as small as you need to so you can make progress. This chakra gets blocked when you start to doubt yourself, but let your energy be stronger than your obstacles. Don’t let what you think others will say or think stop you from living your joyful life.
Sacral Chakra
The sacral chakra is responsible for your passion and pleasure and helps inform how you relate to your emotions and the emotions of others.
Have fun with what you are trying to manifest. If you run into obstacles, find another way. Don’t get too serious about why it may not manifest as quickly as you want it to. Keep following the action steps that bring you the most joy and what comes easily to you.
Root Chakra
The root chakra is your foundation and anchor. It is where matter is and where your dream becomes a reality.
Take a moment to assess where you are. The root chakra is all about feeling safe, having what you need, and feeling worthy of having what you want. Having worked through all of the chakras and getting to the root, if you feel worthy, it has to manifest.
What if my dream didn’t manifest?
Somewhere along your chakra journey, you got stuck.
Crown
Is your dream what you really want and your gift to share with others? Did you connect with your higher self to download your dream? If you are trying to manifest something that you think you should be doing because of what someone else has told you, you have blocked this chakra. Make sure your dream is truly yours and one that will bring you happiness.
Third Eye
Can you visualize your dream coming true? Do you believe it is possible for you? If you are going through the motions and taking action but keep telling yourself that it will never happen, you are blocking this chakra. Open your mind, listen to your intuition, and find some affirmations to make you believe in your ability and your worthiness.
Throat
Are you reaching out to people for help? Have you set SMART goals and communicated your plan? If you are afraid to tell people, you will never be able to share your gift. Be your own advocate and show your true self to the world.
Heart
Are you feeling the joy of doing something for yourself? Do you see how you reaching your goal can help others? Sometimes this chakra can get stuck if you are comparing yourself to what others are doing. Or feeling jealous because others have already achieved it. Open your heart and allow this to be your journey that will change both you and those around you.
Solar Plexus
Are you doubting your ability to get this done? Do you feel unworthy or afraid to move forward? If you truly want your dream or desire to manifest, you must take responsibility for moving it closer. As Nike would say, Just Do It!
Sacral Chakra
Is this still fun for you? Are you enjoying this journey? Is your dream still what you want? If things have changed for you, maybe you need to start over. This chakra can get blocked if the passion and enjoyment of your dream or desire have been lost. This is a good place to start if you are questioning why you haven’t manifested something yet.
Root Chakra
Is your world safe and secure? If this dream or desire was to manifest, could you support it? Let’s say you want to manifest a fancy car. When that becomes a reality, can you maintain it? Do you have the money it takes to repair it? Do you have time to enjoy it? Is there somewhere to store it? Make sure you have your basic needs covered to support your dream.
You are responsible for creating a life you love. So download what you want and what makes you happy, and then go out and make it happen. By manifesting through the chakras, you can create a map and see where you might have gotten off track.
Use your higher spirit and the energy within you to create a life you love.
LOVE THIS, thank you. I admit I’m at the intermediate level, at best, in knowing the Chakras. The way you instruct to start at the crown to receive inspiration and knowledge then flow down through each center toward the essential root is a magnificent new learning for me. I have been blocked by not fully embracing the flow-way up and down.
When I read about starting from the crown, I was blown away too. I love sharing new nuggets that I learn. Thanks for reading and commenting!
