Traits When Overactive/Underfunctioning/Off-Balance

There are telltale signs when each of the chakras is out of balance.  Keep in mind as you are reviewing these lists that most of these traits are part of being human.  Everyone feels anger from time to time, especially if you are in a stressful job or period of your life.  Giving your heart chakra a bit more attention during these periods certainly won't hurt, but a flash of anger does not necessarily mean that your heart chakra is out of balance.  Chronic prolonged anger, however, may indicate something more serious. Each page lists traits when the chakra is "overactive" and "under-functioning".  If the chakra is overactive, that simply means that there is excess energy at that center.  Similarly, if it is under-functioning, there is deficient energy at that center.  Some pages also list traits when the chakra is "off-balance".  This describes traits that may manifest if the energy of that center is inconsistent, varying between excess energy and deficient energy to a wide degree.
