Balance

Consider this centering thought:

When you are in balance you walk in perfection.  You create a life of joy and enthusiasm, of infinite possibilities. Your body, mind and spirit are fully connected.

Our chakras are the way our soul creates our three dimensional self. It is an energy system that when in balance integrates all levels of our being. Each chakra addresses  a certain aspect of that being- our body and it’s survival; our sensuality; our power; our heart, inspiration, reflection and vision. Life experiences that have not been fully processed affect the balance of the chakra that they resonate with emotionally. They are like blocks in the electric system of our body that hinder the flow of energy.

For example, issues of safety in childhood lead to contraction  in the first chakra, which further causes health problems, prosperity issues, and trouble dealing with the demands of the physical world. Learning to access and release this fear by working through sensations in the body can help remove everything else that stands in our way to an inspired and  fulfilling life.

Understanding how this system works empowers us to make the changes we need so as to come into wholeness.

I find that coming into balance has become the focus of my healing practice. Whether doing workshops that resonate with me to create new avenues for my understanding of the process, or practicing my meditation in motion, I consciously work with the chakras to release that which I am ready to let go.

I believe that balance, like everything else, is a matter of choice.

Over the next nine weeks I will be learning more about each chakra in an online course with Anodea Judith who has been studying this psycho-spiritual map for many years and is considered to be one of the top thinkers in this area.

I look forward to sharing what I learn right here, one chakra at a time.

Here is a beautiful LAKOTA PRAYER that reflects this yearning for balance that we all have.

Great Mystery

Teach me how to trust

My heart

My mind

My intuition

My inner knowing

The senses of my body

The blessings of my spirit.

Teach me to trust these things

So that I can enter my Sacred Space

And love beyond my fear

And thus walk in balance

With the passing of each glorious sun.
