Balancing Your Chakras with Cannabis

Balancing your Chakras with Cannabis

cannabis chakras

Cannabis is a plant with many healing properties. For this reason, it is seen by the non-traditional healers as holistic. On a physical level, many biological processes get initiated when marijuana is consumed. When it is used for spiritual purposes, in meditation or with a specific focus, it also initiates special processes. Many believe it is very closely connected to spiritual awakening. This should not be confused with religion or religious practices, but rather with the flow of energy through the body that creates consciousness.

This brings us to our chakras. For those not sure what chakras are, chakras act as energy portals of the physical and energetic bodies. In Sanskrit, already more than 7000 years ago, it was referred to as wheels, describing the rotating movement of the energy circles. We have 7 chakras that are aligned from the top of the head to the bottom of the backbone. Each of these chakras represents different emotional, physical, and spiritual qualities in the body. If any of these chakras are blocked, it leads to imbalances that end up in illnesses in the body and the mind.

How does Cannabis Correspond to the Chakras?

Reflecting back to Sanskrit, in Ayurveda (Indian system of traditional medicine), cannabis means “curer of all diseases”. Now we are all aware of the magic cannabis renders today in the medical world, and with a name like this, you understand why for so many years already cannabis is considered a sacred plant in India. Cannabis, like all living things, produce certain flows of energy. This energy vibrates with the 7 chakras in our bodies and allows a better flow of energy.

What happens to the Chakras when we smoke weed?

When smoking marijuana, the chakras open wider. It was found that it opens up to 4 inches wider because of high vibration when we smoke. Higher energy vibration lets us feel happier and friendlier. This positive energy helps us to deal with emotional problems and creativity. The chemical and electrical information in the plant contributes to the overall state of calmness in the mind and body. Ultimately, a happier person is a more balanced person and therefore a healthier person.

The correlation with each Chakra to Cannabis

As mentioned above, there are 7 main chakras and each one has a specific function. One of the functions is to channel energy to the corresponding areas in the body. When the chakras are healthy, the overall condition of the body is good. Cannabis strives to bring homeostasis to the body and is thus excellent to help the body to restore energy levels.

Let us look at the 7 chakras and the cannabis strains best for them:

Chakra 1 or Root Chakra – The color associated with the root chakra is red. It is the representation of our foundation and let us feel grounded. When this chakra is balanced, you feel safe and secure. Your basic needs like shelter, food, and water are taken care of. An imbalanced root chakra brings anxiety and a feeling of instability. You can experience symptoms of fear and physical problems with the digestive system, lower back, or circulation in the legs or feet. Best cannabis strains are heavier Indica strains like Grand Daddy Purple and Midnight. This cannabis strains are high in linalool (terpene) that has a lavender tone.

Chakra 2 or the Sacral Chakra- The sacral chakra is based between the navel and pubic bone. It relates to creativity, sexuality, and emotions. Its color is bright orange and it corresponds to the reproductive system as well as feeling alive. An imbalanced sacral chakra will let you feel depressed and stuck. It also lets you suffer from addiction and sexual problems. If you are having problems with creativity, this chakra could be blocked. Relaxing and clear-headed Indica strains like Berry White is good to unblock this chakra.

Chakra 3 or the Solar Plexus Chakra- The sunny yellow color of this chakra is found just under the naval. It relates to willpower, confidence, and discipline. When you feel out of control or goalless, this chakra is out of balance. Hybrids like XJ-13 or the Sativa strand Green Crack are recommendable to open this chakra.

Chakra 4 or the Heart Chakra- This chakra has an emerald green color and as its name predicts, has to do with forgiveness, openness, and compassion. When you experience problems with relationships and self-love or having feelings of rage and anger, even hatred, this chakra needs to be unblocked. Health problems with the lungs and heart also relate to this chakra. Even hybrids like Sage and Blue Bubble are excellent for this chakra.

Chakra 5 or the Throat Chakra – This chakra has to do with self-expression and clear communication. The color of this chakra is sky blue. It also requires you to be able to listen to others. When this chakra is out of balance, you might have a hard time to make decisions or speak your mind. The hybrid White Widow is a perfect match for this chakra.

Chakra 6 or the Third Eye Chakra – Wisdom and intuition is the bottom line of this chakra. It has an indigo color and connects to your higher sources of Spirituality. Brain fog, confusion, and a sense of uncertainty is a side-effect of an imbalanced Third eye Chakra. Here, a higher THC strain like Diesel, or Harlequin that has a low THC but higher CBD content, might help.

Chakra 7 or the Crown Chakra – The Crown Chakra is positioned on top of the head and is the connection to the Spiritual world. It is represented as violet or clear color. It focusses on consciousness and pure potentiality. Euphoric and clear-headed strains like Jack Here is very good for this chakra. A meditation with pure CBD would also work just fine.

Conclusion

The ancient recognition of cannabis as a holistic plant is eminent in the knowledge for using it as a complementary treatment for healing and balancing your chakras. A perfect balance of spirit, body, and mind makes a happy and content person.
