  • What is Reiki

    Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes stress reduction and relaxation. It is administered by the “laying of hands” for in person sessions or through distance and time. It was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui, also known as Usui Sensei by his beloved students, in the late 1880s.

    Reiki has become mainstream since the 1980’s when Grand Master Tanka brought the Japanese developed energy healing technique to the western world. Before then, Reiki was only taught in Japan and required extensive hands on training. Thanks to Grand Master Tanka and the internet, thousands of Reiki Masters being attuned every year.


    The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words, “Rei” meaning God’s wisdom or Higher Power, and “Ki” meaning life force energy, similar to the Chinese word “chi” which also refers to the life force energy within you. The word Reiki literally translate to “spiritually guided life force energy,” which is really beautiful


    Reiki is a safe and natural method of spiritual healing that everyone can benefit from. Although it is spiritual in nature, Reiki is not a religion. In fact, it is not dependent on belief at all, it will work whether you believe it will or not. Reiki comes from the Universe, Spirit, or God, depending on which name you choose to know it as. Many who use Reiki and receive say that it connects them closer to their “creator” and/or religion. Remember spirituality and religion are not exclusive, you can have one without the other.


    Although Reiki is not a religion, it is still beneficial and important to live and conduct your life in a way that is harmonious with others. After a meditation, years into developing Reiki, Usai Sensei added the 5 principles of Reiki, inspired by the Meiji Emperor of Japan, whom he greatly admired.

    Translation: The secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases. Just for today, do not anger. Do not worry and be filled with gratitude. Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people.Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.Pray these words to your heart and chant these words with your mouth Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind

    The founder,Usui Mikao

    So how does Reiki work?

    During a session, the practitioner transmits Universal Life Force to the client, with the intention of creating deep relaxation, help speed up the body’s natural healing abilities, reduce pain and discomfort and decrease other symptoms that you may be experiencing.


    Our body already has natural healing abilities, we’ve just been programmed to think that they don’t exist or that they aren’t capable of healing us of all types of discomfort and diseases.


    As mentioned before, Reiki can be performed at in person sessions with the laying of hands on the body or slightly off the body. It can also be sent across time and “long distance” in the form of prayer/intention, known as remote Reiki or long distance Reiki.

    This is why it is said that the mind is powerful, if you think something won’t work, that belief is strong enough to make that a true reality. Soul imagine the possibilities we can achieve if we all learned how to heal and tap into the ancient wisdom of energy healing, what we would be able to accomplish in just this lifetime?

    To learn Reiki, one receives an attunement and learn specific hand positions through which to send Reiki. With their hands attuned, they can either rest them on a recipient’s body or -when becoming second-degree Reiki practitioners- they learn a distance symbol that enables them to “dial up” and connect with a person’s energetic essence. They’re then able to perform absent Reiki, sending universal life force energy across time and space.”

    What is Universal Life Force?

    As Brett Bevell explained in his book, “Psychic Reiki”, ‘Reiki doesn’t come from any person, or human, or the collective field of life force here on Earth, but from a higher source that exists on the spiritual plane… yet the energy itself is from the Divine and thus not limited by our human structures and human interpretation.


    As much as you can read about Reiki, the best way to know more about is to book a session and experience it, whether that be with me or with another practitioner, make sure it is someone you feel drawn to and safe with. Use your discernment and intuition to guide you to make the right choice for you.

  • Cancer Season InnerG Report

    Hello my beautiful soul!

    This is the full InnerG Report for 2021 Cancer Season, however as always, these messages are timeless and you will find this when you are ready for it. Check for your Sun, Moon and Rising/Ascendant signs, remember this is a collective message, soul take what resonates and leave the rest! 🦋


    General Message for All Signs

    This Cancer Season, the collective as a whole is closing an old chapter and starting a brand new cycle! Many of us have already felt the energy shift as early as the New Moon in Aquarius in February, a cycle will be closing with the Full Moon in Aquarius, soul many of the things we have been working on and manifesting will be coming to fruition and blooming through the end of this season and into the next season. I’m seeing lots of new sparks of inspiration that will lead to the start of many spiritual journeys and quests that will be amplified through the next generation. I’m seeing new family traditions, new cultural traditions and new societal traditions as well as holidays that will be created in the efforts of unionifying the collective. I’m seeing many new millionaires, the first of their families, building generational wealth by breaking the generational curses that have been passed down. I’m seeing people learn and teach financial literacy to keep generational wealth alive long after we are gone. I’m seeing the ground work being laid for a strong foundation of conscious beings for generations to follow. You are being called to tap in with yourself and your ancestors by bringing yourself to the present moment and not dwelling in the past or future too often. Remembering that the point of power is always in the present, that your current thoughts are creating your tomorrow and that you can always change your thoughts and choose to be positive. “I choose to live on the lighter side of light and I choose to see the good in everything because I know that I am in everything and I love, respect and honor myself.”


    Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

    My fiery Aries! Spirit is calling you to step into your power this season by balancing out your divine feminine, I’m know that you got the divine masculine down packed! I’m seeing a lot of people balancing these energies out and then coming into large sums of money in unexpected ways, basically you aligning with money you already had access to, but had been unknowingly closing yourself off and now you are able to see after this happens, you will be able to intentionally attract more money. Tap into some financial literacy information, do your research and know what you will invest your money in, the best investment you can make is yourself. Soul what can you do to invest in yourself this season? You are also being called to take some time this season to rest and meditate, reflecting on what is to come and what is. I’m seeing a few people having major epiphanies during meditation after adopting a meditation practice.

    You are also needing to remember to celebrate, I’m seeing group empowerment and retreats for others. Community is one of the aspects of our human experience, open yourself up to that more often, whether that be going to an public event or small group event, don’t forget the aspect of community in your life. I’m feeling very at peace and in bliss at the same time, in small doses for some. As yall are the first fire sign, y’all come with that heat and Spirit is reminding you that sometimes you get in your own way doing way too much and you know this. You just needed a quick reminder. Calm your ass down. You are soul much better than that and you know it!

    This season, you are moving out of the energy of fear and into the energy of space. Space? Yes, space can either be filled or not, you always get to decide. This is speaking to can you be by yourself comfortably? Or will you fold each time you start to feel a little lonely, this is why some of yall keep repeating the same cycles in your life because you didn’t stop and realize, “Hold on, this happened like 5 times now, but in different ways, how am playing a role?” What you’ll learn from this transition is determination. Persevering is the way to go if you want to get to your goal, you know this, but sometimes you have to go through it one last time, the choice is up to you!

    Self Care Spread

    Create a vision board. “Keep your eyes on the prize.” This is one of my favorite monthly rituals, just getting old magazines or printing pictures out or drawing them and making it all about where I want to be next month.

    Create Art. Channel your sacral chakra energy by creating art. There are soul many forms of art, soul do what your heart is calling you to do, how did you like to express yourself as a child? Tap in with your inner child this month, Cancer season is ruled by the 4th house, family, foundation, home and stability, this is a great time to tap into inner child work.

    Pleasure. What does pleasure mean for you? How do you perceive pleasure? I see some people figuring this out for themselves and being able to finally step fully into their own power. It seems simple, however one of the most common blocks is pleasure, which resides in our sacral chakra, our center of creativity, sensual energy and creation.

    Get Grounded. We are surrounded by Earth, take a moment and imagine roots growing into the Earth and replenishing your energy, reconnecting you with the Earth and the energy of Gaia. Take a deep breath in and out.

    Cloak Yourself in Light. Remember to do your protection work, all it takes is a moment to visualize a light bubble around yourself, nothing can harm you and all evil eyes are returned to sender with love, light and forgiveness.

    Sleep On It. Instead of acting in the heat of the moment, Spirit is calling you to sleep on it. Whatever big decision can wait until rising. Sometimes, going to bed “angry” will actually help you find guidance in your dreams. Drift off with the intention on getting more clarity on the situation and write down or voice record your insights upon rising.

    Affirmations

    I am open to seeing both sides of a situation.

    I know what I am here to do.

    I understand that a mistake is only an opportunity to learn.


    Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

    My loves, I just want to remind you this is a general reading. I am seeing that this season will be a test/trial for my Earth placements. You are already or about to experience some pretty heavy things and things are going to come into the light that shake up the foundation of everything you either have or believe in. Spirit is really trying to get you to surrender. Surrender control over the things you can’t control, example anything outside your own reactions and self and surrendering the need to know it all. You might not understand the reasons why things are happening right now, but it’s happening for your highest good. Endings are merely beginnings.

    I’m seeing that now would be a great time for you to take a step back, perhaps you have been offered some opportunities that you thought you would have known how to respond to and now you don’t and see how you can take care and make you happy. I’m seeing a lot of happy childhood memories that are coming up for you and that’s the Universe nudging you on recreating that in your life again, because you have all the tools to have the happiest and most fulfilling reality that you want. It’s like you need to see and feel and believe it before it shows up, especially if you started from the bottom, baby. You have to believe yourself that you are worthy and deserving because you’ve worked soul hard already.

    Spirit is showing me that for some, you have been working soul hard on a business or project and you are literally about to birth a whole new concept and creation that the world has never seen yet. Spirit is reminding you that you had that vision for a reason, you are the only one who can see it for what it is for a reason, continue to invest in yourself and the things you need to do for yourself as well as to enhance/better your skills because you are going to be able to do it! I am seeing that some of you will be most definitely finding out shady people in your circle and you’ll have to do a real energy check on everyone and just surround yourself with people who are worthy of your energy. You are never in bad company when you are by yourself!

    This season, you are moving out the energy of happiness and ideation and moving into the energy of rest and sweetness. You’ve experience and began or have completed understanding that your happiness is indication that you are fulfilling your purpose. And what you are passionate about will lead you to divine inspiration and ideas for the creation of things for your enjoyment/comfort as well as others. You are now moving into the energy of being grateful for the little things, because you asked for this exact moment sometime in the past, now that it is here, it is only right for you to be grateful to signal to the Universe to continue to send you more of what you want. Now you are able to rest and recharge and get ready to receive all that you have been wanting. The beautiful lesson from this transition will be that you understand that it’s you and your fears, your doubts that really have been holding you back from the life that you wanted and deserve. Abundance, both material and otherwise is always around you, from the air you breath to the leaves on trees, and it’s always just been your perspective of it all that determined your reality.

    Make a Vision Board. “Keep your eyes on the prize.” This is one of my favorite monthly rituals, just getting old magazines or printing pictures out or drawing them and making it all about where I want to be next month.

    Spend time with Animals. Just as Earth surrounds us, soul do her spirit animals, take a moment longer and hold your eye contact with that stray cat, let them know you mean no harm and you wish them well. A simple understanding amplifies through out your reality, letting the Universe know you see it in everything because you see yourself within everything.

    Clean your space. Everything you own is part of your energy field and having it all organized will help keep that field clean and allow for your energy to flow. It also helps when you don’t have to remember all 10 places you moved the remote when you have one place for it to go.

    Dream Journal. Spirit and the Universe is always speaking to us in our dreams, constantly giving us insight into our subconscious mind. Keep a dream journal to keep track of all your dreams, or whatever you do remember. You can even record a voice memo if your handwriting is wonky upon rising.

    Look for Fairies. Always do your research before looking for faeries or interacting with the fae and always treat them with respect. This is more to remind us that we see what we believe. What do you want to see more of and what are you needing to believe for you to see more of that?

    Affirmations

    I understand that nothing can grow or evolve without movement.

    I am learning to accept the things I cannot change.

    I can’t always expect the truth from others, but I can expect it from myself.

    I am learning that endings are merely beginnings.

    I release the need to know all the answers.

    I am a limitless being. and I can manifest whatever I desire in this physical reality.


    Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

    Heyy my Air signs! This season is about to be a very emotional, yet healing season for you! Spirit is definitely calling you to step into your power by continuing to give your power to things that fulfill your heart and make you happy because the Universe is coming in with the physical abundance, aka money. Spirit is reminding you that everything is energy and so is money, tap in with your higher self and work through any limiting beliefs you have with money, because it’s all in your head and your subconscious. You can try to be positive or grateful for a day, but it’s not enough because subconsciously you don’t believe in it truly, without a doubt. I’m seeing that some of yall need to be told that you are never in bad company if you are by yourself, with that in mind, Spirit is calling you to evaluate your support system and realize that it actually includes your ancestors, angels and guides. You have a guide for any situation or topic really that you need help with. I love calling on Archangel Michael for unconditional love and just love in general. All you have to do is send the intention to call on him or say a prayer such as, “Archangel Michael, I call upon you, I am in need of unconditional love and healing.” And he will come and help you out.

    Spirit is also wanting me to remind you, during this beginning of the Age of the Aquarius, we are literally writing history as we live it. We can choose to ignore and bypass all past fears, limitations and doubts and create a life for ourselves and be truly happy, it is our birthright to do so. The way many of us will reach a self sufficient, generational wealth, and success will be different, but we can have differences and still support and love each other. For those who know what I am talking about, we are living that right now, that vision that we’ve seen before, the feeling of fulfillment and community love, the “perfect” world, it’s possible. But this will be a journey unlike any that has came before us, just as we look up to historical figures, people in the future will be looking to us for guidance. We each hold a key in this life to not only create and live the life we want, but help make that accessible to everyone who comes after us. I’m seeing a lot of people working through inner child wounds and healing those traumas and transmuting them into love and forgiveness and gratitude. It’s time to shift our perspective, we are right where were are meant to be and it’s time to start living fully and freely as we are meant to. Praise God!

    Air placements will be moving out of the energy of magic into the energy of mystery and learning the energy of isolation from this transition. Moving out of the energy of understanding and inner standing that magic is within each and every one of us and that it is up to us to harness and nurture that magic. We are learning to create and manipulate energy in this human experience, we go from being part of everything and all to being in physical vessels with limitations and we learn to adapt to be able to get and live how we wish to. Now we are moving into the energy of mystery, which is really your forte. Mystery because even though we are able to see possibilities of future outcomes or events, however it can always be that moment or a shift of a reality over. It all depends on our focus and the will of the Universe. Many things are out of our hands, as much as we would love full control, we don’t have it. We have full control over our reactions and emotions and that’s about it. Learning to surrender is when we really start to be able to live and breath. No longer are we bounded by things like guilt or remorse, even anger, because we surrender, feel through the emotion and innerstand why we were triggered and heal the root. The lesson from this transition is innerstanding that it all starts with us. Some of us will isolate ourselves to truly harness and fully live in our power because it is necessary. When we take that moment or choosen time, time dedicated to ourselves and just bring attention to being, these meditative states give us peace and clarity, because we know, we just aren’t sure, but we KNOW. And we are finally starting to fall more in line with trusting that knowing and following our divine intuition.

    Drink Tea. Tap into the power of herbal teas! Lavender is great for its calming effects, rose has great antioxidants, jasmine tea is great for vivid dream recall and nettle is great of heart health and works as a antihistamine, just to name a few.

    Dance. I know yall love to dance, you better get up and move that body! Put on “You Rock My World” by Michael Jackson or better yet check out my playlist, you can find it here. Move however you are being guided to, even if it feels silly, it’s you! Embrace it and flow freely.

    Movement. Tai Chi has really helped me with mornings where dance is too much effort. It is a Chinese practice of bringing attention to your energy with breathwork and movement and is known to have many health benefits, such as heart health and lung health.

    Connect with Fire. Fire has been used in all kinds of rituals for millennia, use fire to manifest or to let go of whatever it is you want to let go of and feel the Universe working in your favor. I recommend to do a burning bowl ritual, where you write down something that you want to manifest or let go of and burn it and let it go of your attachment as it burns. You can also tap in with a bonfire, by visualizing your worries, doubts, fears or limitations burning in the fire.

    Connect with the Earth. As air signs, we tend to forget to ground ourselves. Spirit is calling you to tap in with the magic of Earth, we are always connect through the bottoms of our feet, a great way to ground yourself is to walk barefoot on grass or to stand barefoot in grass and imagine growing roots into the Earth.

    Aura cleanse. You can cleanse your aura using the ground method combined with visualizing a white light surrounding your energy field, protecting you from any and all harm intended for you. This is a great practice to do before leaving your home, it protects against you picking up other people’s energies.

    Back to Basics. What can you do for yourself right now to make sure you are cared for, safe, happy and loved? How you can you make sure these basic priorities or needs are meant daily or more often? An answer may have popped up after you read the questions, don’t dismiss them so quickly, give them a chance.

    Call on your angels. I say it all the time in my readings, call on your spirit team! They want to help, all you have to do is call on them and they will come. You will be guided on the steps and you will be revealed what you need to know as you need it. Archangel Michael is one of my favorite angels to call on, as I work with Michael the most. All you have to do to invoke them is to call upon them by name, some people are more comfortable with saying a prayer, they may even give you a prayer after your encounter to use, just go with what is most comfortable for you.

    Share a breath. Our breath sustains our life, having ample oxygen is how we are able to fight off germs and diseases. Take time daily, once building up to multiple times a day, to bring attention to your breath, take a few deep breaths and relax your body. You’ll be surprised at the change in your energy after a week and even more so after a month.

    Affirmations

    I know that there is no greater goal than to love.

    I am attracted to those people who serve my higher good.

    I accept that challenges are the best way to learn.

    I can release my need to control.

    I bring a state of perfect harmony into my world, and I do so without judgement.


    Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

    Hey water signs! Okay this is your InnerG report for this Cancer season! Y’all got a lot going on! I’m seeing those who are out of the 9-5 race are now running into a retrograde like period, where Spirit is calling you to just hang out and process everything that has happened soul far. Spirit is reminding you to tap into that King of Wands energy by seeing how can you make things a little easier for yourself. What are you finding yourself running out of time or space to deal with yourself? You can’t do it all at once and you shouldn’t have to, delegate some of those duties soul you have time to care and nurture yourself. I’m seeing soul reunions with soul family and divine partners all season leading into next season for those who are in alignment with their higher self. Many of yall are starting a whole new journey, like literally hopped out a portal from that lack mindset and hopped into that abundance mindset. Remember to keep affirmations in your back pocket as you navigate through this last leg of “lack”.

    Spirit is calling you to tap in with what blessings you’ve gotten soul far, what miracles have already came to fruition? Stay focused on what has worked out and what you want because it’s coming. I’m seeing new connections that will help you get to the tools and resources to go you to where you want to go. I’m seeing people approach you with offers to elevate your brand and name, people who are in alignment with themselves and your mission. I keep hearing “get ready”, get ready because everything you’ve been asking for is about to start showing up. You’re being shown that you have better things ahead of you and that everything you need to be emotionally fulfilled, you are already in possession of, now it’s about using those tools to get to the next step.

    Water sign placements are moving out the energy of disruption, into the energy of frustration and learning about the energy of passion. Moving out the energy of disruption because sometimes we gotta shake things up ourselves. We know when we are stagnant, soul it’s up to us to get moving again. Moving into the energy of frustration, we are learning how to understand and innerstand that sometimes we will have obstacles and things that force us to think outside the box and step outside of our comfort zone. When we do that, is when we evolve and grow the most as we are out of our usual element. We are going to be learning about the energy of passion. Whatever it is we are passionate about, it will lead us to our purpose because it is something we love to do, and could do without getting anything in return, therefore it drives us to share freely and fully with others. I’m seeing a lot of souls figure out their passion and it sparks the path to their purpose.

    Self Care Spread

    Rest. Rest is SOUL underrated. We are trained to think if we aren’t working, then we aren’t doing something. It’s not always about doing, we need proper rest to be able to do the work we have efficiently and effectively. Take time to replenish your energy and rest up, because the work will be there.

    Pleasure. What does pleasure mean for you? How do you perceive pleasure? I see some people figuring this out for themselves and being able to finally step fully into their own power. It seems simple, however one of the most common blocks is pleasure, which resides in our sacral chakra, our center of creativity, sensual energy and creation.

    Deep breathing. Breathing is something we do without thinking, but the fact we can manually breath gives us power over our LIFE! Try out the 4-7-8 breathing technique, inhale through the nose to the count of 4, hold for 7 and exhale through the mouth to the count of 8. Attention to breath also give you indication of how your heart rate is and any tension you may be holding in your body.

    Chanting. Chanting has been used for thousands of years, there are mantras to help balance each chakra, check out my post about it here. You can also use affirmations instead such as, “I am limitless, everything is always working out in my favor.”

    Clear your Energy Field. We come into contact with a lot of energies when we leave our homes and go out into the world. A daily or weekly cleanse of your aura is recommended to keep your energetic field clear and uncluttered. This will also help you regulate your own emotions and energy better without the influence of other energies.

    Read. Take some time to tap into the wisdom of books, great reads are The Four Agreements, All About Love, and whatever topics you may be interested in such as astrology or astral projection.

    Take a Walk. Tap in with Earth and take a walk, wherever you are. Take those moments to bring attention to your 5 senses, what can you see, hear, smell, feel and even taste during your walk?

    Expect the best. Spirit is reminding you that what energy you put out or expect, you are always right. If you think today is the worst day, the Universe will find things to make it the worst day, because you are right! Choose to expect the best and accept the best because you deserve the best!

    Make a note of it. You will be receiving a lot of downloads and messages, Spirit is calling you to note down anything you feel is relevant, this is a call to get a journal if you don’t have one or get another one 😉 some of yall need a dream journal!

    Feed your Spirit. What do you need to feel more nourished right now? Take a moment, place your hand over your heart and one over your abdomen and ask yourself, “what can I do to feed my spirit today?” Overtime, you’ll get a response much quicker and clearly.

    Sound Check. I tell yall all the time, each of us have our abilities and insights for a reason. Our vessel and physical bodies are our ultimate security system. Our bodies will let us know if something is off, you’ll just have that feeling of knowing something is off. Check in with your body and see what it’s trying to tell you.

    Be Generous. Again with the “you get the same energy you put out,” or “what goes around, comes back around”. Gratitude is the highest vibration of currency, a compliment and show of love goes further than money in most cases. What can you do for someone else today to make them feel loved and care about? What surprise would you love to get and how can you give that to someone else, a stranger even. What you put out, will come back tenfold!

    Get Grounded. We often forget to ground ourselves, but we operate and function way better when our energy is grounded and stable. We are able to control our emotions and operate from a place of security and stability. Take a moment to imagine yourself growing roots into the ground and exchanging energy with Mother Earth or walk on the Earth, preferably grass barefoot.

    Cloak Yourself in Light. This is a great practice for protection before leaving your home, imagine a white or golden light filling your personal bubble, protecting you from anything or one that intends harm to you. You can also invoke the Archangels to help amplify the strength of the ‘force field’.

    Affirmations

    I understand that a friend is in my life for a reason.

    I embrace and nourish the creative aspect of my mind.

    I acknowledge my fear, but I replace it with the insight of awareness.

    I can accomplish what I set my mind to.

    I know that I can do whatever I set my mind to.

    I know that I cannot change the past.

  • Chakras 101

    Background

    The word ‘chakra’ comes from the ancient Sanskrit language meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘disk’, referring to the energy points in our body. Chakras, along with other spiritual topics, have become mainstream in the past few decades, largely due to the birth and growth of the internet as well as “New Age” spirituality philosophies and teachings. They were first mentioned in the Vedas, ancient texts of spiritual knowledge, dated around 1500 to 1000 B.C. There are 7 main chakras in the human body, Eye believe there are at least 114 different chakras in the body, which can be differentiated and discovered through a practice of meditation.

    Everything is made up of energy. Our chakras are energy centers within our own energy field. There are 7 main channels, starting from the feet up through the base of the spine all the way about 6 inches above our head. They are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. Our ability to balance these energy centers results in our limitless potential to manipulate the physical reality through the attraction of like vibrational things, aka the law of attraction.

    We have 3 energy body “systems” that is all connected and in a sense “on top of each other.” Our spiritual/ethereal body, our mental body and our physical body all work together to relay information within the “systems”. Our thoughts and visualizations are converted to feelings and emotions that are triggered physically by our chemical hormones that are released. This is why when we master our emotions, aka our energy in motion, we are able to manifest/co-create the life that we choose. The mind is infinite, but the illusion is that we are bounded by our physical bodies. Due to this illusion, many humans walk around completely unaware of the power they possess

    Explanation of the Upper Chakras & Lower Chakras

    *DRUMROLL* Introducing: The Chakras! *fanfare sound*

    The Root Chakra Muladhara

    Photo by Any Lane on Pexels.com

    Our center of stability and security

    The root chakra at the base of our spine and extends throughout our legs and is our connection to the Earth. Ruled by the planet Saturn, muladhara teaches us about our limits and how to work with them. The root chakra corresponds with the physical action of sexuality, the mental action of stability, the emotional action of sensuality and spiritual action of security.

    Since the root chakra is our center of stability and security, An unbalanced chakra can manifest as issues with sexuality, lust, obsessions, feeling safe & secure and stress about money and financial security. Physically our root chakra corresponds with our legs, feet, rectum, tailbone, and immune system. An unbalanced root chakra can manifest physically in those areas as well as in the male reproductive & prostate disorder & bowel movements. When we are balanced, you will feel connected, grounded, supported and safe in your own body.

    A great way to ground yourself is to walk or stand on the earth barefoot and imagine your energy extending into the ground and the Earth returning with Gaia Energy. Wearing red and eating red foods will also help maintain balance for the root chakra. A interesting practice called nasikargra drishti, which involves gazing at the tip of your nose, yes crossing your eyes, over time until you develop the ability to smell psychic fragrances, is a way to access the root chakra.

    Associated with our sexuality and creativity

    The sacral chakra located from the upper part of the sacrum below the naval and is our center of sexuality and creativity. The sacral chakra corresponds with the physical action of reproduction, mental action of creativity, emotional action of joy and spiritual action enthusiasm.

    When our sacral chakra is balanced, we feel empowered to take risks, comfortable in our sexuality and be sensual. An unbalanced sacral chakra can manifest in issues relating to sexual and reproductive health, the ability to express emotion or desire, kidney and urinary function, and/or issues in the hips, pelvic and lower back.

    A great way to keep the sacral chakra free and flowing is through movement, particularly dance. Adding a daily practice of movement will ensure that you start your day with mindfulness of where your energy levels are at.

    Our center of willpower, authenticity and our sense of self, including our ego, personality and identity.

    The solar plexus is located above the navel and below the chest and is our center of mental activity, self esteem and personal willpower. The vibrant color of yellow of the solar plexus represents wisdom and intellect. The solar plexus chakra corresponds with the physical action of sexuality, the mental action of stability, the emotional action of sensuality and spiritual action of security.

    When our solar plexus is balanced, we are empowered to be assertive, are able to make decisions with ease, have good mental focus and great productivity. We will also see overall good physical health and healthy digestive system, as well as a good relationship with the world surrounding us, particularly in our work and affairs. An unbalanced manipura can bring about low self-esteem and self confidence, low energy and physically manifest as having poor digestive health.

    A great exercise to do with your solar plexus is to fire it up! You can do this by closing off your left nostril and breathing in through your right and then exhaling through the left for about 2-3 minutes. (avoid this if you have heart disease or high blood pressure, check with your doctor.) This exercise will help with the activities relating to the solar plexus, such as writing, working, debating or going through with spiritual practices.

    The Heart Chakra Anahata

    Our center of unconditional love, forgiveness, empathy and compassion for ourselves and others

    The fourth chakra, commonly referred to as the heart chakra is the energy through which we are able to make choices and decisions beyond our bounds of karma, following our heart and serving without concern for lust, greed, or anxiety. It is located in the center of our chest on in our sternum and is the center of our unlimited, unconditional love. The physical action of the heart chakra is our circulatory system, the mental action is passion, the emotional action is love and the spiritual manifestation is devotion.

    When our heart chakra is balanced, it give us a sense of wholeness, from which we are able to accept, forgive, love and have compassion for both ourselves and others. An unbalanced heart chakra can manifest in lack of self love, empathy and the inability to forgive yourself and others.

    Each and everyone of us is always tapped into the limitless potential of unconditional love, to use for ourselves or others, but we’ve been programmed to think we need something is return for showing that love. Our hearts literally shift when we are reacting in fear and can actually get us stuck in negative thinking. A wonderful mantra Eye’ve learned from Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Chakras is “Om shante shante savrista nashini swaha”, which roughly translate to “O Sacred One, toward peace. You are the means of accomplishing the removal of sufferings. This is the prayer we off.”

    The throat chakra is between our collar bone and larynx in the neck and is our center of communication. Fitting that it is ruled by Mercury, planet of mental activity and learning , as we draw breathe in and out our expression. through our voice is release as we breathe out, each time passing through the throat chakra. The fifth chakra corresponds with the physical action of communication, the mental action of fluent thought, the emotional action of independence and spiritual action of security through communication and expression.

    With our throat chakra balanced, we are empowered to speak our truths honestly, freely and with intent. Unbalanced, we are unable to articulate our thoughts and opinions and may have fear of speaking. Physically, we may have thyroid imbalances, grinding teeth and excessively may lead to gossiping, loudness, stuttering, and lack of consideration.

    A great way to free your throat chakra is to sing! Your unique voice and tone is perfect for healing your body and energetic body. A fun exercise to do is to put your music on shuffle and skip to the fifth or tenth song and listen, there may be a message in the words or melody to give you some insights about your throat chakra. Eye love to rise with music, sound is SOUL healing and great for your physical body as well. Set your alarm to your your favorite song, see how different you feel in a week when rising.

    Our center of conscience, higher conscience, and wisdom

    The second chakra is located between the brow and is associated physically with the endocrine, nervous and pineal systems, notably the pituitary gland, a pea sized, endocrine organ right in the middle of the brain. The third eye chakra, ruled by Neptune representing mystery and psychic potential, is our center of conscience, higher conscience, and wisdom. The deep indigo color represents inner wisdom, intuition and integrity. The Ajña’s physical action of insight, the mental action of intuition, emotion action of clarity, and spiritual action of meditation.

    When the third eye chakra is balanced, you will feel focused and determined while open to advice and guidance. You will have an unwavering sense of trust in your inner guidance and open to the divine insights. However an unbalanced third eye chakra can result in headaches, migraines, blurred vision, eye and sinus issues.

    My favorite third eye exercise is meditate and conjure a rose in my mind’s eye with a question or situation Eye need clarity or guidance on. Observe the rose and take note of the different changes that the rose will go through and ask for clarity on each change, if needed.

    A balanced third eye brings a sense of eternal bliss, free from ego-drive desires, such as greed, selfishness, and vengeance. You will feel ever increasing self trust, selflessness and inner peace. An unbalanced chakra can manifest as issues with inner wisdom and death of the body.

    The number one question about the crown chakra, is how do I get there? Through dedication to self, self accountability, and disciple. You’ve already taken the first step by being here, right now, reading this! 🙂

    Guided Chakra Healing Hypnosis

    Hypnosis is just a state of deep relaxation, where we can then edit and change our subconscious by releasing old programming and following up with new programming. During hypnosis, the body is deeply relaxed, attention focused and has an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion, hence we can make changes to what we want.
