In case of an imbalance you may feel stressed, overwhelmed, unloved, and low on vital energy. You can bring back the balance in your fourth chakra by consuming mostly green foods. Consume more broccoli, kale, green beams, lettuce, brown rice, lentils, bean sprouts, etc.

Throat Chakra – It is the fifth chakra. The throat chakra is connected to psychic abilities and communication. When this chakra is out of balance you may feel anxious, and/or like it is hard for you to express yourself, and communicate in general. To bring the balance back it’s advisable to consume mostly blue colored foods such as blueberries or blackberries and dragon fruit. But herbal teas, ginseng, mushrooms and barley are also great for your throat chakra.

Third Eye Chakra – It is the sixth chakra. The third eye chakra is linked to imagination, visualization, intuition, creativity and the 6th sense. When this chakra is not in balance you may feel angry and frustrated. The imbalance also causes you to not be able to forgive. You need to consume mostly purple foods such as eggplant, plums, purple lettuce, purple carrots. But you can also introduce prunes, black currants and wheat germs into your diet.

The Crown Chakra – It is the seventh chakra. It is linked to consciousness, inner wisdom, spiritual awakening or enlightenment. The crown chakra is in imbalance when you are feeling defeated or getting down on yourself. The bad news is that it can’t be fixed with physical food. You have to nourish the seventh chakra in spiritual ways. It can be balanced with meditation, prayers, and contemplation. You can also try fasting for 1-3 days. Not eating anything physical can raise the vibration of the crown chakra.

Your diet is very important for the health of your chakras. Chakra Balancing Foods will help you to keep the balance. Try to eat colorfully. And try to introduce a period of fasting into your diet. One day a week is a great way to fast. Or, you can choose to fast three days in a row each month. You can also try a diet where you dedicate a day to every chakra. Enjoy it!
