• Hmmm, I took a chakra test…. I can’t say I exactly agree with the results. I’ll put what I agree with in bold and what I don’t agree with in italics. I put my own analysis of their analysis in parenthesis.

  Root:	under-active	(-25%)
  Sacral:	under-active	(-25%)
  Navel:	under-active	(0%)
  Heart:	open	(38%)
  Throat:	over-active	(69%)
  Third Eye:	over-active	(88%)
  Crown:	over-active	(88%)

  
  

  If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. You’d easily feel unwelcome. (I’d never describe myself as fearful or characterize myself as nervous by nature, but I do easily feel unwelcome. I don’t like to assert myself because I feel it’s rude. When I was a kid, I would always wait to be invited into groups or to gatherings. I felt if they wanted me along, they would ask and if they didn’t I wouldn’t become an unwanted tag-a-long. As you might imagine, I didn’t get out much. oh well.)

  
  

  If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a “poker face,” the Sacral chakra is under-active. You’re not very open to people. (About the only thing I can agree with is the poker-face. I hide my emotions very well, but that doesn’t make me unemotional and being an empath, I am extremely open to people… that’s the problem.)

  
  

  When the Navel chakra is under-active, you tend to be passive and indecisive. You’re probably timid and don’t get what you want. (I am passive and timid, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say indecisive or that I don’t get what I want. I’m just very careful about what I want and how I get it. Mostly I let things come to me. I am very Taoist by nature. If things don’t come, I’m not going to let it bother me too much.)

  
  

  The Heart chakra is about love, kindness and affection. When it is open, you are compassionate and friendly, and you work at harmonious relationships. (This is the only analysis I can agree with completely.)

  
  

  If this chakra (Throat) is over-active, you tend to speak too much, usually to domineer and keep people at a distance. You’re a bad listener if this is the case. (I do tend to keep people at a distance as a way to cushion my over-active empathy, but beyond that, I can’t say any of this is true. I’d say I am a very good listener, or else why do people come to me, sometimes out of the blue, to unload their problems? Sometimes I may speak too freely when I feel comfortable with certain people, but I don’t imagine those people mind. I don’t see myself as domineering at all, though I may be deluding myself on that point.)

  
  

  If this chakra (Third-Eye) is over-active, you may live in a world of fantasy too much. In excessive cases halucinations are possible. (Hey, I’m a writer. Aren’t I supposed to live in a fantasy world? I think they missed the point that an over-active third-eye chakra might mean I am overly psychic… coupled with the open heart chakra, this would naturally explain my strong empathy-skills, right?)

  
  

  If this chakra (Crown) is over-active, you are probably intellectualizing things too much. You may be addicted to spirituality and are probably ignoring your bodily needs. (Addicted to spirituality? Hmmm, is that possible? I wonder if people who have an over-active crown chakra get lots of headaches like I do. I do tend to intellectualize/analyze things to death. I also tend to ignore my bodily needs in as much as I will go without eating or sleeping if it means I have to leave something I am working on.)

  
  

  Now this site doesn’t give an overall reading but, it’s interesting to note that my low scores are all “below the belt.” They’re all materialistic/sensualist chakras. While having them open might help to balance my over-active crown chakra (get me to take care of my body more), I don’t really miss their influence… or do I? I’m not sure. Can someone tell me why I should or shed more light on the miniscule interpretation the site gave? I don’t think the scores are particularly low, given how high or low they can range.

  
  

  It’s also interesting to note that all my “above the belt” chakras are active or over-active. The heart chakra is about normal I’d guess by their scoring. I would think since the scoring runs from -100% to 100% that 0 would be the average, but apparently it’s not. I mean, shouldn’t -50 to -100 be under-active, -49 to 49 be active, and 49 to 100 be overactive? There goes my bad old crown chakra, over analyzing things again! lol

  
  

  My “over-active” chakras are also ones which are associated with psychic ability and communication. That seems eerily appropriate give my psychic talents and that I am an “indigo” (actually a Crystal according to one test I took). So is it really a bad thing that they are “over-active?” I suppose it could lead me to fool myself in certain situations, but beyond that?
