Even when your spiritual and life journey is your path, obstacles are common. Knowing you want to live honoring your Sacred Contract does not necessarily create ease. All too often, we encounter unknown blocks.
We harbor many blocks in both our chakras and aura. These blocks may be from events in this life or even carryovers from past lives.
How do you know what blocks you carry?
You may not need to know the specific details of the blocks to clear the blocked energy that is holding you back.
Take some time to go back and think about who you believe you were before you had to be somebody. Another way to think about this is: if you were to invent yourself anew today, how would you describe that new you? What parts of you would you keep? What would change? This exercise gives you insight into what fits with your inner knowing and what areas you might want to restructure. What are the areas that are a part of you? These areas are a part of your authentic self. These areas are aspects of you that will assist you by providing insight and depth for areas and ways to support your growth. Also, look at obligations, structures, and demands that are areas that need adjusting. Are these areas in need of minor adjusting or in need of varying degrees of significant overhaul? It’s best to write this down because this gives you a record and documentation of the beginning of a plan to work with.
The most common way we hold block energy is in our body and emotions. Do you have any current or chronic health conditions? Are you aware of any emotional things you are hanging on to? How are you holding on to your emotions? The most common way to carry emotional disruptions is through illness or dis-ease. If you have any dis-ease—physical, emotional, current, or chronic—your chakras and aura are affected.
Reiki energy healing is a beneficial technique that channels energy to the chakras and body to promote balanced healing energy. It can be done in person or remotely. The practitioner uses energy to unblock energy flow and promote natural healing. Reiki works with universal life force energy to deepen the energetic connection that helps balance chakras.
It’s also valuable to conduct a chakra assessment. Since our chakras hold life force energy, they show where and how energy is being held and blocked. When you understand how you are holding your emotions, you will also gain an understanding of which chakras are blocked. Then you can clear your chakras and open your pathway to your higher self.
Since your chakras are seven centers of emotional consciousness, understanding how these metaphysical states have affected and blocked you has impacted your life and brought about certain programmed reactions in your life. When unblocked, the connection to a more natural flow of energy with your higher self becomes the natural state of being.
The emotion associated with blocking the root chakra is fear. Fear tightens all systems and brings them into a survival state and operates as though driven by a state of scarcity thinking. To unblock fear, establish safety routines, ground the body, regulate sleep, and energy flow. You can also call on the angel of the root chakra, the angel of trust. The angel of trust assists with keeping commitments, routines, grounding, and helps to keep you present.
The sacral chakra emotion block is guilt. Guilt blocks pleasure, creativity, and general emotional flow. To unblock guilt, allow joy without apology, move your body with fluid glee. An angel to call on for the sacral chakra is creation because creation attracts joy, momentum, and movement. The pleasure of art, movement, ideas, expression, and bringing something into being creates pleasure without guilt.
The solar plexus emotional block is shame. Shame blocks and suppresses self-will and replaces it with submission and following established standards. This block is the hardest because it puts pressure on being responsible, especially being responsible for others. Taking back your boundaries, acting decisively, and taking your power back is the way to help balance and unblock this chakra. This is a complex and sensitive chakra to balance since we live in a social structure where we commonly are responsible to and for others. So the key to healing and having balanced energy with this chakra is having a responsible, authentic energy flow appropriate for your individual situation. The angel of the solar plexus is authority. This angel assists with self-direction, decisions, setting boundaries, and deciding what are responsible outcomes without guilt.
The heart emotion’s block is grief. When grief becomes an identity or code you live by, you don’t trust, choose to stay separated from others, feel as though people always hurt you, and become judgmental to push people away. To unblock this chakra, you need to process your loss, practice compassion, decide you are going to trust others, and practice gratitude. As seems obvious, the angel of the heart chakra is love. This is a love that restores healthy connections through compassion, forgiveness, and presence of self in relationships. It includes love and forgiveness for self.
The throat emotion is suppression. Suppression silences truth, maintains status for approval, avoids conflict, denies personal expression, and argues to maintain power over you. To unblock this chakra, hold your truth, express your authenticity, choose to engage or avoid arguments at your will, and when needed eliminate people from your life for self-preservation. Truth is the angel of the throat chakra. This angel is an expression of personal truth, self-truth, and self-expression. When expressing from self, this angel brings forth clarity without exaggeration and direct, honest communication.
The third eye emotion is illusion. Illusion distorts perception through belief, projection, and fear. Unblocking the illusion of the third eye encourages questioning, having reasonable critical thinking, separating emotions from facts, balancing emotions with facts when reasonable, and maintaining a controlled perception. The angel of discernment is the third eye chakra angel. This angel brings forth clear perception that encourages beliefs, seeing patterns and symbols, and the ability to separate emotion from fact.
The crown chakra’s emotion is separation. Separation is feeling isolated, alone, and not part of a larger collective. To unblock this chakra requires recognizing you are connected to the source of the universe. It includes recognizing the diverse thoughts and views of others and accepting others’ views along with having others accept your differing views from theirs. The crown chakra angel is the angel of unity. Unity brings connection with Source, nature, and community. It is essential to sense connection to all.
These emotions come to us through events and experiences in this life or may be carryovers from a past life. Whether from this life or a past life, it is advantageous to cleanse and clear the chakras so they are functioning at an optimal energy level, enabling us to more effectively and efficiently interact with our higher consciousness.
It is beneficial to clear our chakras and auras of both past life blocks and current life issues. An energy cleanse can be done both in person and remotely. After an energy cleanse, insights are deeper and clearer.
There are many techniques available to assist in clearing and cleaning your aura and chakras. Meditation is a foundational beginning place. However, often other methods, in addition to your meditation and inner work, expedite the process and are less taxing on your energy.
A psychic reading may also be a benefit. During a reading, the guides, guardians, angels, and all higher energies around you will share information you may have been having difficulty accessing or understanding.
With a clearing, you’ve now strengthened your connection with Source and access to understanding your Sacred Contract and your next steps along your path. Whatever your path, remember there is no path too small. There are some life paths that are light paths so we can appreciate joy and energy rejuvenation.
