Chakra Symptom Chart Download & Balancing Tips Below

Please download the chart (best viewed on laptop but can make do on your phone) and read all info on this page so you can get the most out of it.

I invite you to download and print out the chart and highlight any physical or emotional symptoms that you’re experiencing, as this can help you notice patterns and bring awareness to areas where there may be a chronic chakra imbalance.

The more highlighted symptoms you see in each section, the stronger the indication that this chakra may need extra attention and support. 

Please note: this chart is intended for self-reflection and energetic awareness only. It is not a medical diagnostic tool. If you have concerns about your health, always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Why Your Chakra Health Matters

Your chakras and your nervous system are deeply interconnected. Each chakra is linked to a network of nerves, glands, and organs in your body. For example:

The throat chakra corresponds with the cervical spine and thyroid, influencing voice, breath, and expression.

The solar plexus chakra connects with the digestive system and liver, influencing digestion, skin health and confidence.

The root chakra is tied to the coccyx, sciatic nerve, and adrenal glands, influencing energy levels, lower body function, stress response and survival instincts.

When a chakra is out of balance, the nervous system often reflects this through physical symptoms (like tension, digestive issues, or headaches) or emotional patterns (like anxiety, overthinking, or shutdown).

By bringing awareness and support to these areas, you’re not only balancing energy, you’re also helping your nervous system return to regulation, which is the foundation for healing, resilience, and spiritual growth.

Simple Balancing Tips for Each Chakra

Root Chakra

Subtract: Reduce overstimulation, constant news, social media, caffeine etc.

Add: Grounding rituals: walk barefoot on earth, eat root vegetables, focus on slow exhales.

Sacral Chakra

Subtract: Numbing behaviours (over-drinking, over-scrolling, emotional suppression).

Add: Creative play: dance, painting, intimacy, or even cooking something new.

Solar Plexus

Subtract: Over-controlling habits or overcommitting/doing too much.

Add: Core strengthening movements, sunshine exposure, fire or candle gazing, gentle gut-supporting foods.

Heart Chakra

Subtract: Holding onto grudges or closing off.

Add: Daily gratitude practice, longer hugs with humans or pets, heart-opening stretches, cacao.

Throat Chakra 

Subtract: Self-censorship and swallowing words to keep the peace.

Add: Journaling, singing in the car or shower, or simply practicing saying “no.”

Third Eye 

Subtract: Constant screen time, overthinking and over working.

Add: Quiet time, meditation, trusting your inner knowing, stillness.

Crown Chakra 

Subtract: Over-identification with busyness and material achievement.

Add: Spiritual nourishment: prayer, meditation, time in nature, or simply moments of awe.

Think of these as gentle little invitations. You don’t need to do them all. Just choose one thing to subtract and one thing to add for the chakra that feels most out of balance for you. Small shifts make a big difference overtime.

If you want more...

The Chakra Symptom Chart and the simple balancing tips are just a starting point, a way to help you notice where your energy and nervous system may be out of balance, and to give you small actions you can take right away.

Awareness is powerful, and even the smallest shifts can begin to open energy and create change. But awareness alone isn’t enough. For lasting transformation, you need tools that clear energy at the root and regulate your nervous system so new patterns can actually hold.

That’s the deeper work of Reiki and nervous system regulation, and it’s exactly what I teach inside Shala of Light.
