For years, I have spoken about the power of crystals in balancing chakras and elevating energy. But today, let's shift our focus to a divine and mystical bead that has been revered for centuries—Rudraksha. As we approach the sacred occasion of Shivratri, it is the perfect time to explore how these powerful beads can help align our chakras and bring us closer to spiritual awakening.
Rudraksha, derived from the Sanskrit words ‘Rudra’ (Lord Shiva) and ‘Aksha’ (tears), is believed to be the teardrop of Shiva. These sacred beads are known for their spiritual, emotional, and physical healing properties. Ancient scriptures such as the Shiva Purana and Padma Purana praise the virtues of Rudraksha, stating that merely possessing one can bring divine blessings. But did you know that specific Mukhi (faces) Rudraksha are directly linked to our chakras? Let's delve deep into how different Mukhi Rudraksha can help align and balance our seven chakras, ultimately elevating our well-being.
