So how do you know if a chakra is out of alignment? Certain physical symptoms can be helpful, but if we're caught up in the cycle, it can be hard to be aware of what's really going on mentally and emotionally. These are a few questions to help you check to see if each of your chakras is functioning at an optimal level. 

To take the quiz, simply rate each statement on the following scale and then add up your responses:

  • 1 = Never
  • 2 = Hardly ever
  • 3 = Sometimes
  • 4 = Most of the time
  • 5 = Always

Root Chakra (Muladhara)

  1. I'm very cautious with my money and always have savings in case of emergency.
  2. I am never late with credit card payments.
  3. I hate roller coasters or any other adrenaline-surging activities.
  4. I am always doing risk assessments, just in case.
  5. I am a worrier.

If you got 16 or more, you may have a blocked root chakra.

If you got 14 or fewer, you may have an overactive root chakra.

Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana)

  1. I have trouble figuring out what to do with myself in moments when I don't have to work.

  3. I want to write, or paint, or do something creative, but I'm just not very good at it.
  4. I don't feel very good in my body.

If you got 16 or more, you may have a blocked sacral chakra.

  2. I sometimes struggle with self-confidence.
  3. I am not very assertive.
  4. I tend to let other people make decisions for me.

  2. I have trouble being compassionate with myself.

Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
