We must gain balance within ourselves before we can bring balance to the world. In order to connect with our higher self, we must remove all blockages.
Energy flows through our body like water flows through a creek.
Our body has pools of spiraling energy known as the chakras. These pools of energy are supposed to flow pure and clear, however life gets messy, and unattended feelings tend to block the flow of our energy.
But if we listen to the uncomfortable feelings, those emotional mucks that block our energy and release them, our energy flows again. There are seven specific kinds of emotional mucks that tend to block access to our higher self.
Be warned the practice of these steps can be an intense experience and once we start, we cannot stop until all seven pools of energy are open.
Survival is blocked by fear.
What are we most afraid of? We let our fears become clear to us. Remember our fears are not real, we are concerned for our survival, but we must surrender those fears. Let our fears flow down the Creek.
Pleasure is blocked by guilt.
Now we look at all the guilt which burdens us so.
What do we blame ourselves for? We accept the reality that these things happened, but we do not let them cloud and poison our energy.
If we are to be a positive influence on the world, we need to forgive ourselves.
Willpower is blocked by shame.
What are we ashamed of? What are our biggest disappointments in ourselves?
We will never find balance if we deny this part of our life.
Love is blocked by grief.
We lay all our grief out in front of us.
We have indeed felt a great loss, but love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. Their love for us and our love for them has not left this world. It is still inside of our heart and is reborn in the form of new love.
Let the pain flow away.
Truth is blocked by lies.
The ones we tell ourselves. We cannot lie about your own nature; we must accept it.
Insight is blocked by illusion.
The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things we think are separate and different, are actually one and the same. Like the continents. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. We are all connected. Everything is connected, even the separation of the four elements is an illusion. If you open your mind, you'll see that all the elements are one. Four parts of the same whole. Even metal is just a part of health that has been purified and refined.
Once we unblock this 7th pool of energy, we will be able to go in and out of our higher self-state at will. And when we are in the higher self-state we will have complete control and awareness of all our actions.
Thoughts deal with pure cosmic energy and are blocked by earthly attachment.
We meditate on what attaches us to this world. Now, we let all those attachments go. We let them flow down the river – forgotten. We learn to let it go, or we cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe. We must learn to let go. Surrender ourselves. We think of all our attachments and let them go, we let the pure cosmic energy flow.
