Chakra Clearing on a Budget
When it comes to taking care of yourself, for most of us, the money topic can get in the way. I hear women say they can’t clear their chakras because they can’t afford spa days or healing sessions with singing crystal bowls and aromatherapy, but I always wonder if they’ve tried doing things that are easy on the pocketbook? Things that are free? Ones that they can use to balance their chakras at home? I think if I’m going to share information about spa treatments and sessions to balance chakras, I should also share the budget-friendly options to use to unblock your chakras yourself, where to find them, and how they work, so today I want to talk about chakra cleansing in another light.
If you’re on a budget, there isn’t an endless supply of money which means that you have to be careful about what you spend and sometimes have to face the reality in that paying your bills takes priority over self-care treatments and that means that you have to cut out the things you enjoy and the things you need the most! Like spa visits and hot stone massages and chakra balancing sessions that would help you unblock your chakras.
So in this post, I’ve got some budget-friendly tips for you because I’ve been where you are… looking for those easy ways a beginner could balance their chakras in an affordable way at home.

Does that sound familiar? Comparing yourself and your life to others online? If so, unplugging is just what you and your chakras need.
