I've been feeling more grounded lately, I feel more connected to my physical body. But at the same time, my concentration has lessened, my understanding of information has also lessened. This happened after I took probiotics (for chronic bloating).
All the pressure was in my brain before, I felt my brain fog, but then I can process information better.
My exams are coming up, is directing all the energy of the Chakras back to the Crown and the Third Eye a good option for the best memory and understandings?
Then I would have physical discomfort.
Dividing this in paragraphs for order reasons.
Male/Female pair Root/Crown inbalance? Chakra system imbalance?
Hiii, I don't know what is your practice but I personally combine working on the female/male chakras of the Root and Crown on the same days too...
Did you notice those symptoms since the working? What do you do exactly as a practice for these two chakras? This is important!
As for the chakras. I don't know if energetically speaking, those issues you report could be specifically be pinpoint to some chakra imbalance in particular or if there is more of a systemic problem. If you noticed a worsening of your symptoms right after chakra work...which is energy work on your chakras at the end of the day...that might be a sign that you might have caused an energetic imbalance within your chakra system. That rises the question of what you did specifically in your practice and for how much time...
What I would say first is to right now focus on not much empowering the chakras (through Sanskrit seed mantras for example) because in my personal experience (if you are not expert and know what you are doing), putting too much "fuel" (seed) to the chakra can cause disbalances. That happened to me before and I had disturbances.
On top of my head, it seems that your Crown (Female counterpart) is weaker than the Male Root, but I want to be careful in saying this. It's difficult to determine what is going on and the chakra system is complex and usually lack of energetic balance is more "systemic" than a mere pinpointed issue with one or two chakra. Also, there are several health conditions, habits and nutritional things that might affect you energetically overall. I cannot say what is going on before a thorough prior knowledge first.
I might tell you to try a deep cleaning with the Rosary, in case there is . You can try the Surya (Name of Hindu Sun God) mantra, making it vibrate through your body and aura (or a specific chakra) around you for 108 vibrations, while imagining the Light of the Sun engulfing you and taking away dirt from you in every of each vibration.
The Raum Sun Seed Mantra can do the same job. You're basically using the Sun Energy to purify yourself. I literally felt scorched by the Sun astrally with this practice and I felt clean.
Little warning about RAUM Seed Mantra: in my experience, the Raum mantra is more aggressive as it is a Seed Mantra, even if you use it for cleaning. It is very powerful but it can stimulate the Solar Plexus quite a lot and I felt pain for overstimulation. Try with the Surya Mantra first, I didn't get those symptoms. Just don't skip days, even do it twice a day if you can!
You should do this at least once a day for 40 days straight.
You have to be consistent and not skip days tho.
Importance of cleaning, suggestion of deep cleaning
Cleaning can do wonders and this is an important step that I would advise doing BEFORE any empowering. Imagine empowering a chakra that is very dirty, you will just amplify your dirt along with the chakra and make your conditions worse energetically. Cleaning is base practice and should be done every day before anything else imo.
Gut bacteria/health affects the brain
Also, gut bacteria in their quantity and quality also affect your brain, the intake of different species of bacterias compared to what you had before can cause some issues (I think in a kind of transitionary way), but you said you had brain fog before...so you have to explore why this is happening.
Diet and nutritional deficiencies
It can be due to wrong diet, the gut issue you mentioned and the gut changes due to probiotics, lacks in phosphorus (or iron, or others mineral or nutrient deficiencies as this symptom is generic). As I mentioned in my last post, I think that all those things can indeed influence you on an energetically level as well. The "physical" and energetical are not separated. Your food is energy for you and the gut bacteria produce energy in the intestines.
Importance of physical activity and Sun exposure for overall health, sleep
On top of my head, I would say to explore those things first. Also, move your body and stay under the Sun more, it works well.
Also, sleep is very important for treating those symptoms.
Last but not least: Ask the Gods!
They know you better than me, much better and They care about you and your advancement. If you don't want to do a specific God Ritual to connect with one of Them, you can talk to them wholeheartedly (They love that) and make an Offering (incense, food or you can ask Them what they might like, something related to Ancient Customs and the Myths (sometimes). Then invite Them in your meditative space and ask Them personal guidance for your own case.
Take care!
