ou are more than a
physical structure.
There is energy in and around
your body. Clinicians who
study acupuncture follow the
energy along meridians to
look for blockages or sluggish
movement. Correcting these
can improve health, pain
and mood. Also within the
physical body are chakras energy centers. Each chakra
corresponds to specific
physical structures of the
body as well as to emotional
and psychological processes;
and is also linked to a symbol,
name, musical tone and color.
There are seven major chakras:
the root chakra at the base of
your torso, abdominal, solar
plexus, heart, throat, third eye
at the center of the forehead,
and the crown chakra at the
top of your head.
Those who are hyperaware
of the traditional five senses
as well as the sixth sense of
intuition, empathy and energy
are considered Highly Sensitive
People. If you are a Sensitive,
other peoples’ energy fields as
well as the electro-magnetic
fields of your environment
likely affect you. When all of
this inundates your energy
fields, it can lead to emotional
distress, physical tension
and even illness. There are a
number of practices that you
can use to clear or balance
your energy:
For the Self
DURING A SHOWER use
the water to wash away all
uncomfortable emotions and
tensions from the day. Have it
all flow down the drain.
IN A RELAXED STATE, IMAGINE
A SPONGE passing from head
to toe on all sides of your body.
As the sponge moves down,
it removes the excess tension,
emotions, energy, and any
challenges that had accumulated
throughout your day.
PLACE A BUBBLE of pink or
white light around your body
to keep “other” separate from
“self”. You may visualize any
color, a balloon, ball or even a
force field around yourself.
CHAKRA BALANCE In
med itation, bring your
attention to each chakra
beginning at the root. Use your
own intuition to balance the
hue, density and size. Strive
to bring balance to each. (You
can find CDs or individuals to
facilitate this process.)
