We have been exploring the different themes of each of the chakras the last few weeks, loosely based around the works of Carolyn Myss.
Last week we began to work with the energy of unconditional love, the essence of the heart chakra. Did you become more aware of your own self talk? Did you spend some “mirror time” acknowledging yourself and your value? If you did, I wonder what your experience was.
As we fill our own cup up, we naturally have more to give to those around us.
Love is a very “high” vibration. In fact, when we first fall in love, we literally feel high. As we become more conscious and make more choices that support a well lived and a well loved life, we actually raise our vibration. We spend more time in joy, trust, and peace. We begin to enjoy our own company more. You will notice others wanting to spend more time with you as well. You will feel clearer.
As you spend more time in the higher levels of unconditional love and peace, you will naturally find it more difficult to stay in anger with anyone. You will find it more difficult to go to blame or even self pity. You will find yourself moving naturally into forgiveness and understanding.
I have witnessed parents telling children to “say your sorry” to another child they may have provoked. The child is still angry and not in a place of feeling sorry yet. This creates an unauthentic response to this experience. When we get angry we need time to calm down, process our feelings and choose ourselves when we are ready to begin the forgiveness process. Our children deserve the same respect.
When I was in my first mentorship with my teacher, Deb Schubert, I remember when she taught us that we could forgive ‘in stages’. That when we feel we have been betrayed or hurt there may be parts that we can understand and forgive. Start there. Even with yourself. That begins to free up this stuck energy and the rest may flow out more easily as well. I have found that when I go in deeper that at some point I realize I need to forgive myself.
There will be one more week on this powerful center. I hope you spend some time just sitting in the energy of your heart each day. See what you feel and what you discover.
Much love, melaniej
