Chakra cleansing refers to the process of clearing stagnant, blocked, or heavy energy from one or more of the body’s chakra centers—energetic wheels or vortices that correspond to physical, emotional, and subtle dimensions of wellbeing. While both chakra cleansing and chakra balancing relate to the health of the energy system, cleansing is about removing congestion or interference in the energy centers, whereas balancing is about harmonizing and aligning the flow of energy across the chakras so they work together smoothly.
In practice, chakra cleansing might involve techniques such as breathwork, visualization, sound or vibrational therapies, meditation, movement, and hands-on/near-body energy work that help release stuck or heavy energy before new, freer movement of life force can occur.
