How to Open & Close Your Chakras

Susan Graw introduces the topic of opening and closing chakras, emphasizing that balancing and cleansing are far more critical than just opening or closing them. She advises looking online to identify where each chakra is located.

She demonstrates the process using the crown chakra: place your hand over it and verbally state 'open,' 'balance,' 'cleanse,' 'close,' allowing time for the energy to resonate. For the third eye chakra, it should only be closed partly to maintain spiritual knowledge, saying 'close partly.'

Graw explains that empaths often have wide-open chakras, making them susceptible to absorbing external energies, which can lead to unhealthiness and improper responses. She likens it to a vacuum cleaner sucking in everything, stressing the importance of protecting your body and chakras from getting clogged.

To release external energies, she suggests picturing a heavy coat, pushing it off, and saying, 'This isn't mine, take it away.' She shares a personal example from her readings where she experiences physical symptoms from clients' ailments and uses the phrase 'This isn't mine, take it away' to alleviate them.

She advises asking spirit, 'This isn't mine, take it away,' and 'If it is mine, let me know, don't take it away,' to discern what truly belongs to you. This helps in knowing 'the next right step' on your journey. If unsure, simply do a practical task like washing dishes.
