So what are chakras, and why is that information helpful to you?
The word chakra is from the Sanskrit, an ancient East Indian language, and means wheel. So think turning or spinning circle. They are part of the "unseen" system that exists right along with our physical experience. The chakras are each a vortex of energy. Hundreds of chakras are active in each human being and this system keeps the flow of energy throughout the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual "bodies" in balance and health.
Our interest in their existence is the desire keep this balance or bring the energy flow back into balance when something is causing slugishness or blockage in a particular center/chakra. That way we can live a more energetic, fulfilling, joyful and productive life!
The energy in our chakras, and in fact the energic auric field which extends several feet around the human body, changes a bit or a lot continuously depending on what we are thinking or feeling. In our culture and society, especially in the United States, we operate too much from our emotional reactions, attachment to outcomes, and looping patterns of thoughts and beliefs. What’s fascinating, and tragic, is that when we slow down and detach long enough to objectively analyze the thoughts and beliefs we find that we don’t even really agree with them. They have simply been habitual, learned, assumed. It’s a good idea to decide for yourself which of the “givens” or “truths” you learned growing up are ones you want to keep and which ones you will replace with something else, or at least shelf for a while. The tricky part may come when there is an emotional charge on a belief. That’s when it may be helpful to have a trained and more objective person such as an energy/healing arts practitioner be a guide and assist with the shift in the energy. However, there are a lot of techniques you can be trained to do for yourself.
We can look back even further. These patterns probably did not begin in this lifetime, in the childhood of this current life. This is an entirely different topic, but briefly for this post, I’ll just say that the Soul carries with it any and all unresolved, unhealed, trauma and/or patterns of dysfunction of all types. The awakening we are in now and why so many people are discovering, becoming curious and training in the metaphysical energy and healing arts is because it is time on many levels for this work to be done, for Souls to unburden, clear and lighten.
The easiest way to begin learning and using the chakra system is to start with the seven major chakras. In private sessions with me I check your major energy centers using the energy centers in the palms of my hands and also a pendulum. During an Integrated Imagery Past Life Regression session the energy flow is restored where it was blocked for that topic and balance is restored.
DO try this at home! It is a great practice during some alone time (also known as meditation) to ponder the concept/Truth that "Although I have a physical body, I am not my physical body. I am so much more than that. And although I have emotions, I am not my emotions, I am so much more than that. And even though I have mental capacity, I am so much more than my mind/brain. I am a whole being Spirit, Mind, Emotions, Energy, Physical. Balanced and of the Universe. I belong."
