The Sacral Chakra.

The second Chakra is called the sacral, sometimes also known as the spleen or naval centre. It is concerned with assimilation, both of food as well as ideas, which brings about an natural sense of joy This Chakra is where sexuality is transmuted into the creative arts through self-expression. The element of water is associated with this Chakra In the body the genitourinary system, including the kidneys connects with his Chakra.

We need water to be begin digestive processes and carry the energy derived from food to our cells. Water then disperses unwanted by-products through the kidneys. If this Chakra is under active or out of balance there will be an urge to over indulge in food or sex, causing obesity, food intolerance, chronic
skin conditions or possibly impotence or disease.

An over active sexual Chakra will lead to confused sexuality, unless it is balanced by the influence of the heart Chakra.

Chakra teachings call upon us to regain sacral equilibrium through dance, laughter, yoga, breathing and visualisation of orange light. Even eating orange-coloured fruit will help harmonise this important Chakra. It is at the sacral Chakra that caring and home-making qualities are developed, in both men and women. All relationships and family interactions are functions of the sacral Chakra. Consequently, many emotions are handled primarily through this Chakra.

So it is important to be aware of a possible build-up of stress levels here. Various Chakra's function in pairs and psychologically the sacral Chakra is linked to the throat Chakra. Therefore, if the function of the throat Chakra is repressed it will have a detrimental effect upon the sacral Chakra.

Some of the qualities of the sacral Chakra: -



Its associated element is water.
Its colour is orange.
The key issues, relationships, violence, and addictions.
Its energy function transmutes sexual energy.
The physical location is in the upper part of the sacrum, below the navel. The
associated spinal area is the first lumbar vertebra.
The physiological system is genitourinary.
The glandular System is the adrenals.
The nerve plexus is sacral.
Its activity is excretion, body sense is taste.
The inner aspect is feeling.
It's life's lesson the seeking of meaningful relationships with all life forms.
Its physical action is reproduction.
Its mental action is creativity.
Its emotional action is joy.
Its spiritual action is enthusiasm.
The colour for balance / activation is orange.
The colour to calm is peach and amber.

The sacral Chakra is related to the quantity of sexual energy of a person. With the centre open, a person feels their sexual power. If they block this particular centre, whatever sexual force and potency they have will be weak and disappointing.

"ME" Time.

Take a few minutes "Me" time each day. Be aware of your body and the wonderful job it does for you each minute of the day. Give it your Love and your Gratitude. Smile deeply into each cell, atom and subatomic particle, let the Love and Joy radiate within. Take time to express your creative energies.............in whatever form you enjoy most, Bodywork, Writing, Music, Painting, Gardening. Our creativity is one of our most precious gifts and the more we express, the more we have to express and the higher our energy level.

The Root or Base Chakra.

The base Chakra is the foundation of life positioned at the bottom of the spine
and opening downwards. The base Chakra draws Earth energy upwards through
the feet and legs to process and stabilize it. It channels the energy up the the
spine in a form that the body can handle.

Disorders that affect the sacrum, spine, excretion, and sexual organs are connected
to the first Chakra. Red light, which is the lowest frequency energy of
visible light, stimulates this Chakra.

Some qualities of the base Chakra are: -

Associated element-Earth.
Colour of petals-red.
Key issues-sexuality, lust, and obsessions.
Energy function-stabilisation of Earth energy that enters the body through the feet and legs.
Physical location-between the anus and genitals, opening downwards.
Associated spinal area-fourth sacral vertebra.
Physiological system-reproductive.
Endocrine gland-Gonads.
Activity-generation.
Body sense-smell.
Aspect-grounding spiritual energies.
Life lesson-survival and establishing purpose on earth.
Physical action-sexuality.
Mental action-stability.
Emotional action-sensuality.
Spiritual action-security.
Colour for balance /activation-red.
Colour to calm-pink.

Grounding

Practising staying grounded is a very important mainstay of all spiritual and healing work. It is no good at working with the energy and higher frequencies if we cannot bring those benefits through into our daily life.

One good way to practice grounding is to sit comfortably in a chair and with your feet firmly placed on the ground. Feel into your base Chakra while imagining a tube of light about six inches in diameter spiralling down into the centre of the Earth. I like to wrap this tube around a beautiful rose quartz crystal.

Take a moment to send love and thanks to Mother Earth. You can also imagine roots growing down from the soles of your feet into the surface of the planet. The tube of light can be any colour that you choose.

It’s good to work with different colours to find one that work’s best for you. The more you practice this exercise during the day, the easier you will find it to ground yourself.

Men should ground down from the base Chakra, but for women they should feel into their navel Chakra and then down at the base Chakra and imagine the tube of light spiralling down from the naval Chakra down to the base Chakra and then down into the centre of the planet. It’s important to ground yourself before doing any healing work or any meditation and it’s also good to do it before we sleep at night, and upon waking in the morning.

The important thing with these exercises is to trust, your thoughts are very powerful and what you think of and put energy into will manifest, so don’t worry too much about getting everything right to start with, just trust and you will be grounded.

Protection for energy work

Protection is a very important part of spiritual and healing work, in every situation
in life there will be an energy exchange between other people. It's therefore
important to make sure that you don’t allow other people's negative
energies to enter your auric space.

The auric field surrounds every living thing and contains many different layers.
It extends out to around two to three feet from the human body. It so important
they keep your aura clean and protected. There are many tools to help you
to this. You can use physical exercises to draw the aura in at a distance of two
and half to three feet in every direction. Front and back, above and below. Imagine
this egg shaped bubble surrounding your physical body. When you can picture
your aura surrounding you in your mind, then call for a beautiful golden
bubble of light to surround your aura in every direction to a thickness of about
six inches. This golden light will help to seal your aura and also give you some
protection.

You can call upon Archangel Michael and his legions of angels and ask them to
wrap you in a beautiful sphere of divine golden light for protection. You can also
request from Archangel Michael that he that he put his blue flame Armour
around you.

Archangel Michael is always very close to those the work with the Light and he
will always protect those that request it. Again when doing this exercise just
trust that is happening and it will be. The aura naturally expands and contracts
all the time. Being in nature, especially near water or the sea expands it, as
does being with those you love or are connected with. It also expands during
healing work or meditation. So if you are in safe place, it's good to let your aura
expand out.

However you want to pull your aura in tightly around you when you are going to
crowded or negative places. This covers the Auric field and I will cover the different energy centres or Chakra's in upcoming posts.

Reclaiming Your Energies.

As we go through our day we come into lots of situations and meet lots of people that have an effect on our personal energy system.

Our Energy body, or Auric field can collect these energetic vibrations, and many of them may not be in our Highest good.

A simple exercise, i like to do first thing in the Morning and last thing at Night is as follows,

Stand in a relaxed posture, feet about shoulders width apart. Hands by your sides.

As you breathe in slowly, raise your arms towards your heart area. At the same time as you do this imagine all the energy fragments you have “out there” returning to you with love and acceptance, and re-aligning themselves in your aura.

Next as you breathe out, push your hands out in front of you. As you do this, imagine all the energies that do not belong to you, being returned to their natural place in the Universe. With love and acceptance for their lessons and experiences.

You may wish to complete this sequence between 3 to 5 times.

Stand relaxed for a minute or two, and then return to your everyday reality, safe in the knowledge that your energy field is now much more balanced.

Focusing on what we want.

Have you ever stopped, relaxed and just watched your thoughts for a few minutes. Admittedly its not something we ever think about doing, after all our thoughts just seem to flow in and flow out again. It’s only when we stop and observe that we can begin to see our patterns of thinking.

One such pattern is “thinking about what we don’t want”, as opposed to thinking about “what we do want”. Some examples are………..”I don’t want to be in debt” ……………”I don’t want get stuck in traffic today” ………………Can you see the pattern here, its things we don’t want. And as our thought energy attracts the things we think about most, well guess what ? we end up getting more of what we don’t want.

Its only when we begin to change our patterns of thinking towards what we want, that we can move closer to actually having those things.

Recharge Your Energies

A wonderful way to begin your day, and indeed to end it is to do this quick energy recharge.

You can do this laying in bed or standing or sitting.

Breath in through your nose, and imagine every cell, atom and sub atomic particle in your body filling up with fresh clean energy.

Pause, and then hold onto this fresh energy as you slowly breathe out through your mouth.

As you breathe out, imagine all the stale, negative, toxic energies leaving your body.

You can ask that this expelled energy be transmuted into pure energy, or visualise it passing through a violet flame to return it  to a pure state.

Perform this exercise about ten times for the best effects.

As with all energy work, your intent is very important, if you intend something, it will be so.

How To Create An Orb Of Life.

I found this technique a few years ago and for tonight's post I felt drawn to share it with you.

Creating your own Orb of Life

* Imagine/visualize that you are surrounded by life force, that is slowly becoming stronger and stronger…the force field is becoming brighter and brighter. Do this for 2-5 minutes.

* Say directly to the accumulated life force: “You will be generated continuously and you will not fade until I am done with this creation.”

* Imagine a 25¨ ball (approximately 65 centimetres) hovering in front of you.

* Start filling the ball with life force by intending it so. Visualize the ball getting brighter and brighter in a bluish colour. Do this for 5-10 minutes or until you feel, sense, or see that the ball is full.

* Say directly to the ball: “Life force will now be generated continuously and you will never fade or weaken.” (If you are creating and sending a trial Orb of Life you will need to change part 5 to : “Life force will now be generated for three days and will not fade or weaken in this time”)

* You are done and the ball is now ready to use.

Then just sit or lie down and relax for 10-15 minutes.
The Orb will then, as a default, place itself above your head and begin to saturate your body with life force. You do not need to give any instructions to your Orb, as it will, provide you with a steady stream of Life Force 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It will further automatically protect you from negative energies.

You can choose to give it further instructions, if you like.
To give instructions to your Orb; just tell it, in your own words, what you wish it to do, and it will follow your intentions.
Examples could be :
"Orb of Life, please clear my seven charka's, one by one."
"Orb of Life, please charge this water/pendant/other item with life force." (Then wait about ½ a minute before your charged item is ready)

"Orb of Life, please fill this room with Life Force.”
"Orb of Life, please clear this room of negative energy.”

You could use your Orb of life for anything, the only limit being your imagination and it being in Yours, or Another's Highest Good.

How to give a Reiki Healing.

During a Reiki treatment the client lays down fully clothed in a quiet safe space, meditative gentle music is very useful in creating a nice environment. You should make sure that you are not going to be disturbed for the length of the session. So make sure that the phone is switched of and you will not be having any interruptions.

Make sure that your client is warm and comfortable, a mattress on the floor makes a good treatment area but make sure that you can get all around your client and wont make yourself stiff by bending to much. Have some towels or blankets to hand, you may find your Client gets cold as they deeply relax.

You can then state your intention to give a healing session, for example: I intend to give (name) a Reiki Healing, I ask that all energies flow for the Highest Good in accordance with Divine Will.

You can then sit quietly for a moment, draw your Reiki symbol (’s), place your hands in the
prayer position and imagine the healing energy entering your crown chakra moving down to your heart and flowing down to your palms.

You can then begin by placing your hands in the positions listed and holding them there for 3-5 minutes. Or you may wish to use your intuition and move your hands wherever your inner knowing guides you. If you are sensitive you may feel a warmth or tingling sensation your hands. When the sensations subside a little you can then move to the next position.

Generally, placing the hands on the Clients body produces warmth or heat and holding the hands above the body produces feeling of tingling, movement, gentle motion or expansion. However this is only a very general guideline, and what ever your Client experiences will be perfect for them.

The more you can step aside from the Ego, and enter a Heart Centered Space, the more powerful the results will be. We only act as channels for the Divine Creator, The Divine Intelligence, or the Power of Unconditional Love.

Try to be as quiet as you can and see if you can get a sense of where to place your hands, the person may have a weak area that needs more energy. Try to let your intuition guide you, and to feel what is happening with the sensations. To finish a Reiki treatment session you may like to sweep you hands slowly down the Clients aura, starting at the crown and moving slowly down the body towards the feet. Do this three times. Make sure that your Client is fully grounded before they get up and move about. It is good practice to offer a small snack i.e a biscuit or similar and a warm drink before the Client leaves, this helps with grounding back into everyday reality.

The more practice that you get the easier it will be, so try to share Reiki treatments as often as you can.
It is very helpful to keep records of all your healing sessions. You might want to keep a spiritual journal detailing your Reiki journey. In it you can record all your feelings and experiences as your Reiki path unfolds.
