Are we willing to “look” at ourselves and “undo” what has us trapped? Our chakra system is quite a miraculous way to do so. It gives us a glimpse into how we are operating. Do a quick assessment on yourself to see how you can refine your existence. Remember if the root chakra is blocked ALL of the chakras above it will be affected.

1st chakra – deals with survival and is blocked by fear

2nd chakra – deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt

3rd chakra – deals with will power and is blocked by shame

4th chakra – deals with love and is blocked by grief

5th chakra – deals with truth and is blocked by lies

6th chakra – deals with insight and is blocked by illusion

7th chakra – deals with cosmic energy and is blocked by ego attachment

Anchor the stability and perfection of who you are designed to be by becoming aware, clearing and anchoring in a new consciousness into your life and into the world, breath by breath. It takes tremendous patience and self-compassion.
