Awaking to Change and Personal Emergence

I have only just begun focusing on my Sacral Chakra, and I am already sensing some positive changes.


I work in a creative field, and I can feel this positive, more outward creative thinker emerging. I am more willing, and confident in sharing my creative ideas with others. As I learn more about my Root Chakra, I understand it's relation to the next one. Each Chakra's success is dependent on the ones next to it, they work in tandem.


The energy boosts I have received from working with my Root Chakra, has allowed me to ground and get my "head out of the clouds", or fog really. I have a renewed mental clarity that has allowed me to remember my creative side, and no longer operate on autopilot. For quite some time, I had got use to that mental fatigue just being there; I had accepted this mental laziness as part of aging! Now, I can genuinely create something out of nothing, be excited about it once again, and generate innovative ideas. No more autopilot, no more status quo, I am actively seeking creative ways of do things differently.


It feels really good, I am in continual receipt of all that is good. Let that be a mantra in your life, "I am in continual receipt of all that is good!" I wish I could say that was mine, but I must credit this inspirational statement with a very similar one from Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith of Agape.


I love this continual upward momentum, and I know it will only get better. I hope this encourages you to make changes in your life as needed, really examine yourself, your needs, your desires, and know that it is OK to just go for it!

Chakra Focus 1 of 7: The Root Chakra

The Root Chakra has classically been shown as a red disk. It represents your familial roots, your ancestry, your primal urges, base needs including your security, your foundation, etc. It is the very base of you; it is your earliest of childhood upbringing, from tiny embryo to around age seven. The Root is where you are shaped in your ideals via what you experience. Having said what the Root Chakra is, let’s look at what issues could occur there.


In my previous post, “Balancing The Chakras, a Magical Rx?” (click here if you missed it) I posed the notion of many of us having “favorite” chakra, my favorites happened to be the upper half, above my heart, actually above my throat. This neglect alone was a detriment and a disrespect to the lower half of me, we are whole, not just parts. Now that I am no longer tripping over my own ego, I am able to face reality and look at my self in the cosmic mirror. I began my focus on my Root Chakra a few weeks back, just bringing it into my consciousness, becoming aware of it as a valid entity. I felt I needed to do something to “activate” my chakras, as if there was a magical switch. I have a great book on Mudras, so I used some Root Chakra Mudras, and Earth Mudras pretty frequently for a week or so… and while Mudras are really great tools to accompany you on your journey, it is not the whole journey; I needed to get out of that way of thinking, I had to stop being lazy and do the work.


When I look at the Root Chakra and the brilliant red color that represents it, I think of dancing barefoot outdoors, primal drumming, running wildly for fun, being physically active, vital, sweating, my biological heritage, children and being outdoors. When I looked at my life over the last couple of years, I found there were things I had neglected. I forgot how to have fun in a very physical way, I was perhaps a bit too relaxed all the time, living in my head and through the safety of imagination. Going with the flow is Okay sometimes, but aimlessly drifting did nothing good for me. The further away I drifted, I noticed that more of me disappeared, I lost the passions I once had, and the courage to have goals and to pursue them...So, somewhere in-between these Mudras I was doing, I felt compelled and had a sense of urgency to get outside. I began taking regular breaks at work, going outside and even taking my shoes off to feel the grass under my feet. I have been to several outdoor events, picnics, music festivals, and have felt vibrant and alive! A couple weeks ago, I felt so good and in such a childlike state, I woke up one morning a decided to jump on my bed, it felt good. When was the last time you jumped up and down on your bed? I’m going to guess its been a while…and FYI, remember that when you go to do this, you are now a much taller adult, so don’t bump your heads.


Some other really great aides that I have found to help me on my journey through the Chakras is a beautiful guided meditation CD that my Reiki Master Marla Mervis created, ironically it is called, Journeying Through The Chakras, available on iTunes (click here). Guided meditations are so wonderful, especially if you have a mind as active as I do, they can really help you focus. I am also journaling more, looking back on the very distant past, focusing on how past experiences may have affected the current state of my Root Chakra.


Daily I am using my Angel Cards, and have recently begun adding Earth Magic Cards by Dr. Steven Farmer. These are beautiful cards that help you connect to the Earth’s Spirit, allowing the lessons surrounding the cards to carry you through your day.


Now that I am more consciously aware of my Root Chakra, I feel open on a new level, more opportunities and information are coming to me, I am more confidant and already beginning to feel whole. I hope this Chakra review will help you connect or re-connect to the very root of your self, it never hurts to revisit.

Re-Grouping

Feels great to be at my desk writing again! The last time I was here I had said I was going to take a journey through my chakras starting from the ground up. That is exactly what I have been doing, grounding and getting my footing on this journey. I took a short timeout, and completed Reiki Levels II for the 2nd time, and the Advanced Practitioner level, and as of this past week, I officially began my one year Reiki Master Journey. I must say it feels good, and quite humbling. I was not expecting the feeling of humility, but somewhere in-between Reiki II and AP, I fell into a deep state of gratitude, and landed right in the middle of this feeling of humility. This is the good kind of humility, a challenge to explain but it feels good. HUMAN! I feel a oneness with humanity, and a need to feel more compassionate towards people in general, even through the day-to-day modern life, I feel like I am doing a service just by showing up and paying attention to the people around me.

Life is wonderful right now, not just because it's a happy, positive phase, but because I have called in change, I have been manifesting things that I need to better myself, not just things that I want. There is nothing wrong with asking for what you want, but I bet you will have much better luck in asking for what you need, just my two cents. Manifesting with Reiki has incredible! I find myself using the energy much more in my life just by taking the time to manifest. Manifesting is a whole animal within itself, I am only on the tip of the iceberg, but have already noticed my way of thinking and feeling has changed for the better and I owe that to using Reiki to help me manifest positive change. I will have to do a post on that at a future time.

That is really all I have for right now, please check out my next post, which will be the beginning of my journeying through the chakras, beginning at the root.

Blessings to you.
