The First Chakra

The physical location of the first chakra is the pelvic floor, or base of the spine.  The associated color or vibration is red.

 The first chakra is associated with matters of foundation, issues and beliefs that relate to our family, our belief system, grounding, and physical survival.  Childhood or current family issues would be some of the things energetically and physically stored in the first chakra,

Some symptoms you may have if your first chakra is out of balance are dizziness and lack of physical energy.   You may feel unsettled, a lack of security, fearful or anxious about changes or shifts in a physical move or a change in your family dynamic, a lack of trust for a family member, a difficult relationship with a child, or might just feel ungrounded.  There are tons of things that could create a need to give your first chakra a little extra attention.  I have to consciously reground myself almost every day, and often dizziness is my reminder.  Other symptoms could be dis-ease in any of the associated body parts which are: your coccyx, anus, adrenal glands, large intestines, legs, feet and skeletal system,  If we hold on to negative belief systems for long enough, they begin to manifest physically.

How do you "ground" yourself and what does that mean?  Grounding is just connecting yourself with the earth and it helps to balance your first chakra, and really your whole system. "Positive electrons in the form of free radicals (ever heard of those guys?) can build up in our bodies and direct contact with the ground balances this out as it is a negative grounding charge." (http://wellnessmama.com/5600/how-to-get-healthy-while-you-sleep/) Everything functions better with a strong foundation.  Grounding helps me feel less anxiety and stress and also helps me stay more present.  It helps my RLS as well (rest-less leg syndrome) and is known to help with sleeplessness.  You can ground spiritually, like I often do, by imagining something tying or connecting you to the earth.....roots going from your feet down into the earth, even drilling down through the core of the earth. To physically ground, you can go lay in the lawn, pull weeks, or walk barefoot in the yard.  I am often advised by the spirit to tell people to exercise and spend more time outside to help ground and balance them.  

There are so many tools that the Lord has given us for healing, these tools are huge blessings, but ultimately it is through Christ that we are healed.  And he wants to help us work through these things so that we can receive more love and joy in our lives.  When we believe his words and do our best to live a Christ-like life, we are automatically balanced and healed a piece at a time. Our bodies are a gift from God and OFTEN, when our bodies have any sort of chronic issue, and sometimes also acute issues, they are signaling us to pay attention to a buried belief.

"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?....for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  ...Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." (Matthew 6:31-32, 33)

Trust that the Lord is in charge, and that he loves you and will continue to take care of you!  When you believe this to the degree that you can hand the Lord your stress and worry over family and physical things, your first chakra will be more in balance.

ALL IS ONE

What are Chakras?

We are beings of light, and the light spectrum is broken up into a frequency rainbow, each color corresponding to an energy center, that is our chakra system.  Those who can see auras, or spiritual light can see these colors. If our chakra system were in perfect balance and alignment, as Christ's was and is, all of these colors would combine perfectly to radiate a pure white light.

All colors, beings, sounds, emotions, etc have a frequency.  We are spiritual, emotional, and physical beings and our emotions and thoughts most definitely effect us on a physical level. Feelings create physical responses and chemicals that ultimately, if not completely cleansed out and processed properly, will store in the body parts associated with the related chakra.

Our chakra system is primarily energetic and emotional but it also effects us on a physical level. It is basically on organized processing system.  Emotions and beliefs automatically go to the corresponding chakra to be processed or stored.  Because of this, the chakra system gives us a sort of key to many physical ailments.  For example, many throat problems are likely associated with the fifth chakra and possibly your true voice being heard.  Many stomach problems are likely linked to third chakra issues and something like doubting your self worth or not living the way you know you should or want to.  Knowing about the chakra system can assist you in finding and healing issues you are holding onto-consciously or not.

 Most, if not all of us have beliefs about life, ourselves, and/or reality that are not true.  "It's hard to make ends meet," ."I can't trust people, they always break their word." "it takes time to heal," "I don't deserve to be loved" and so on.  Holding on to these lies clogs up the flow of energy and limits the amount of light and truth we can receive in that area of our lives.  It also limits the miracles the Lord can work for us.
                      "And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, BELIEVING THAT YE SHALL RECEIVE, behold it shall be given you."
-3 NE 18:20

If you truly believe your life is supposed to be hard, you will have a hard time allowing the Lord to carry your burdens and receiving his peace.

How does this relate to the chakra system again?  Each belief is held in the chakra that relates to it.  A belief of "I don't deserve to be loved" would be held in the heart chakra, and it would prevent you from attracting love or receiving the love that is already around you.

If we were all 100% in tune with the Lord, and we believed all of His words every moment, we went about doing good and we never believed anything dark or cruel, our chakra system would be perfectly balanced and we would radiate that perfect white light that comes from Christ.

  My intention in sharing this information about the chakra system is for the sole purpose of helping you to be more in tune with God in your life.  It is a tool of knowledge that He can use to communicate with you about where in your life you need to more fully trust him and how you can better honor your own divine nature.

The Lord Knows Our Needs

One thing that is evident to me over and over again, when I have the opportunity to do energy work, is that the Lord know our needs.  I often don't know the person I'm doing work for, and sometimes they are not present to even give me any feedback, but the words that the Lord gives me for each person are so specific to them and their needs.

This was especially obvious to me last month when I was able to go do work for 5 of my sister-in-law's clients in a row.  She's a midwife and I met with them after their prenatal appointments.  It was so cool to me how totally different each appointment was.  One person was told to meditate more, another was told they need to sing really loudly around the house, and another was told how important it is for them to stay present and focus on the work the Lord has for them TODAY.  In previous sessions I know the Lord has advised people to pray more, or to trust him in specific situations, or he has allows loved ones to come down and share a message that the person has needed to hear from them.

I share these things just to say that the Lord knows us.  He speaks to us in our own language and in our own time.  He teaches us line upon line, precept upon precept, and when we are ready for it.  He doesn't try to make us work through all of our issues all at once.  We process and work through our issues as we are ready, and as they come up.

Some consistent truths that always show up in one way or another are: that the Lord loves all of his children, that his hand is in the details of each of our lives, that each of us has people watching over and assisting us from the other side, and the Lord wants us to each do what we need to do to FEEL him with us and to be able to receive more of his love and joy in our lives.

What is Energy Work?

I have done energy work here and there for about 11 years.  For any of you who may be unfamiliar with energy work, for me, it is using a form of prayer, listening to the spirit, and using the light of Christ to assist a person in healing.  I do not do any healing.  The work is between the person I am assisting, their higher self, Heavenly Father and Christ.  Many times I feel loved ones who have passed on come to support the healing or to share a healing message with the person.  EVERY time, there are angels called in, often guardian angels are present, and I also always cast out any dark spirits present in the name of Christ.

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and for me, this work fits beautifully into my religious and spiritual knowledge and practice.  They strengthen and deepen each other and I'm so grateful that I get to experience both.  They really are not even two separate things, as truth is truth, and all things are spiritual--but for the sake of explanation, I'm grateful I have both. :)  I will word all of the things I share according to my experiences and beliefs without trying to alter it slightly to make all people feel comfortable. Please take what is useful and feels right and helpful to you and choose to not be offended by the rest.  It is important that I am totally authentic and open.

 As much as possible, I want to share in writing my entire knowledge base on the chakra system.  I do not of  course claim that these things are all there is to know on chakras, or that I am some major authority on the topic.  I simply feel impressed to share the things that the Lord has placed in my life with the hope of helping others become more aware and thus more capable of using the atonement and light of Christ for more effective healing in their lives.  I am always learning more about how to do this.  That's the beauty of mortality, we are not and never will be perfect.  We recognize our blessed dependence on our creator, and he continues to lead us closer to Him, line upon line.

Back to energy work!  Every light worker, or energy worker, has their unique methods they use.  Some of these include muscle testing for various physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental imbalances, Reiki, Theta healing....oh there are so many and I can't think of a lot of the names right now--of course.  BUT, it is very important that the person doing the work has pure intentions, has discernment, does the work in the name of Christ and acknowledges that all healing comes from His light.  All good things come from God, and healing is absolutely a good thing.

I will start writing when I get time here and there.  I will just dive in and start giving you what I know about each chakra and some different scenarios I've experienced relating to those chakras while doing energy work with people over the years.
