The 7-Question Chakra Self-Assessment: Find Your Imbalances
Before you can balance your chakras, you need to know which ones are out of balance. The 7-Question Chakra Self-Assessment from the Chakra Crystal Bible is a structured diagnostic tool that identifies exactly which energy centers need your attention — and whether they are underactive, overactive, or blocked. This is not a vague quiz with generic results. It is a precise assessment tool that, combined with the physical symptom correspondence table, gives you a clear, actionable picture of your chakra system's current state.
Take this assessment in a quiet moment, when you are not rushed and can answer honestly. Read each question slowly and answer based on your consistent experience over the past month — not your best day or your worst day, but your typical experience.
How to Use This Assessment
For each chakra, you will find three sets of statements: Underactive signs (the chakra is not generating enough energy), Overactive signs (the chakra is generating too much energy in a dysregulated way), and Aligned signs (the chakra is functioning optimally). Read all three sets and identify which most accurately describes your consistent experience. Note your result for each chakra before moving to the next.
After completing all seven, you will have a clear map of your chakra system: which centers are underactive, which are overactive, and which are aligned. This map is your starting point for crystal chakra work.

Reading Your Results
Once you have completed all seven assessments, review your results:
- 1–2 imbalanced chakras: Focus your crystal work on these specific centers. Use the targeted chakra profiles and the 21-Day Single Chakra Intensive for each imbalanced center.
- 3–4 imbalanced chakras: Begin with the most imbalanced center (the one with the most checked items) and work systematically. The 7-Stone Body Layout performed weekly will support the entire system while you focus on specific centers.
- 5–7 imbalanced chakras: Begin with the Root Chakra regardless of where the most obvious imbalances appear. The Root is the foundation of the entire system — without a stable foundation, work on higher chakras is less effective. Work upward through the system systematically.
- All aligned: Use the 7-Stone Body Layout monthly for maintenance and the Chakra Crystal Grid for ongoing energetic support.
