The 13-Chakra System
Most energy systems can agree on 7 chakras. But have you heard of the ascended and expanded 13-chakra system? Most people as they continue their spiritual journey begin to tap into some of the expanded chakra aspects to more firmly ground them in these ascended aspects to prepare them more fully for their spiritual journey.

Balancing and Harmonizing the Chakras
Maintaining harmony across all 13 chakras requires regular attention and alignment practices that work with the entire energy system. Here are some ways to ensure all the chakras remain open, balanced, and integrated:
• Ground Your Energy:
Anchor the expanded chakras into the physical body through grounding techniques. Visualization exercises, where you imagine roots extending from your Earth Star Chakra into the Earth’s core, can help stabilize and balance your system.
• Movement Practices:
Yoga, tai chi, and qigong incorporate physical movement with mindful breathwork to align energy flow throughout the body. Specific poses, such as Mountain Pose for grounding or Savasana for integration, can activate multiple chakras simultaneously.
• Sound Healing:
Use mantras, sound bowls, or binaural beats that resonate with specific chakra frequencies. For instance, 174 Hz supports grounding through the Earth Star Chakra, while 963 Hz helps activate the Stellar Gateway Chakra. Or Attend a Sound Bath!
• Crystals and Essential Oils:
Working with high-vibrational crystals (e.g., moldavite for the Stellar Gateway Chakra or hematite for the Earth Star Chakra) can help balance these energy centers. Pair them with essential oils like frankincense for spiritual connection or sandalwood for grounding.
• Receive Regular Reiki Sessions:
Reiki is a powerful way to harmonize the entire chakra system, including the expanded chakras. By receiving Reiki regularly, you can clear energetic blockages, promote balance, and amplify your connection to higher consciousness. Reiki helps anchor the energy of the upper chakras into the body while releasing stagnant energy from the lower chakras, ensuring a seamless flow of energy throughout your system.
