A lot is said and written about hypertension. Ask a doctor and he or she will have a string of causes to tell you. Yet, most of them miss an important cause of hypertension. They will prescribe you medication that, no doubt, lowers your blood pressure (BP), but will not address the root cause of the problem.

People continue to suffer. Medicines become a part of their lives. They "adjust" to their "new" lifestyle, which includes popping pills and visits to the doctor. They "learn to live" with high blood pressure.

The good news is that you can go off medicines in certain cases of hypertension. These are situations when your blood pressure is high due to consistent stress, an unhealthy diet, and other non-physical causes. In these cases, if you correct the causes, you can correct your blood pressure reading.

Do you know this year's World Hypertension Day had the theme, "Know Your Numbers"? It focused on knowing your blood pressure reading so that you know where you stand in terms of health.

The important cause of hypertension revealed

Our bodies feature energy centers. They connect emotions, hormones, and nerves. The centers form a bridge between the physical anatomy and energy anatomy. They run along with the neuroendocrine-immune system.

These energy centers are chakras.

You may know about them, but do you know that there is one chakra that can cause high blood pressure when imbalanced?

When we are born all our chakras are in balance. As we grow up, chakras become different in their energy fields. This depends on the emotional state, physical state, and environment.

Chakra healers believe that when you give your body the right conditions it has the power to heal itself. There are 7 chakras in the body. When they are balanced you experience wellness. When they are imbalanced illness arises.

Chakra responsible for blood pressure

According to healers, the Meng Mein chakra controls the blood pressure.

This chakra lies at the back of your navel. It features 8 petals. The chakra has less red prana and more of orange prana. It also has some amount of blue and yellow pranas. This chakra is just half or one-third the size of other chakras. You must deal with it only through a trained and experienced chakra healer.

Once you realize this important cause of hypertension, it becomes easier for you to manage your blood pressure. Medication is not the final solution to BP. It is just an aid. The final solution lies in balancing your chakra and improving your overall lifestyle.

However, please consult your doctor before you begin an alternative healing therapy like chakra healing.

Functions:

The Meng Mein chakra serves as an "energy accelerator."

It facilitates the distribution of life force energy or prana from the Mooladhara or Basic chakra to other areas of the body. Imagine this chakra to be a 'pump' that supplies prana throughout the body.

The chakra has the power to transform lower energy into higher or spiritual energy. So, you see, it is important for this chakra to function well.

How does it do this?

The chakra increases the vibration rate of the lower prana. This makes the lower energy to move in high speed along the back meridian. It spreads throughout the body and goes up to the top of the head. Thus, the energy activates the crown or higher chakra.

What happens when the crown chakra is activated?

It opens the spiritual door. Your outlook towards life changes. You become more forgiving, tolerant, accepting, and calmer. This, in turn, creates changes in your physical being. You experience higher wellbeing.

When you are relaxed and forgiving towards others your blood pressure lowers.

Do you know one of the major causes of hypertension is a high amount of tension in life? Lower the tension and your blood pressure lower too.

Chakra cleansing benefit

As mentioned earlier, the Meng Mein chakra helps in the upward flow of prana from the Basic to the Crown chakra, thus, impacting the whole body. When this chakra becomes enlarged it leads to excitement or aggression in an individual. This can increase blood pressure.

Cleansing the chakra through a healing session can help to calm the individual and lower blood pressure.

This chakra also energizes and controls the adrenal glands and the kidneys. Together with the Sex chakra, it energizes and controls the urinary system. The Meng Mein chakra is also associated closely with the Spleen chakra.

Imbalance of Meng Mein chakra and its effects

An imbalanced Meng Mein chakra is one of the major causes of hypertension. The imbalanced chakra can also lead to kidney problems, back problems, and low vitality.

When combined with other imbalanced major chakras it can lead to abnormal growth of cells.

Condition and size of Meng Mein chakra create an impact on blood pressure.

• When the chakra is functioning normally the blood pressure is at normal range.
• In case the chakra is hyperactive the blood pressure rises above the normal range (high BP).
• When the chakra is underactive the blood pressure goes below the normal range (low BP).

It is a proven fact that when your chakras are balanced you feel better. Energy flows uniformly throughout your body and your vitality increases. You feel full of life.

Balance is the key to health. Energy, either too high or too low, creates problems. The energy in balance promotes physical and mental health and may pave the path to spiritual awakening.

Note: Please consult your doctor about undergoing any alternative healing therapy. Also, when your chakra heals your blood pressure may go down. Your doctor may want to adjust the medicine dose.
