My Personal Experience With Chakra Work

Working with the chakras is kind of like exploring uncharted territory. It took me a few weeks to get to the point where I was comfortable with actually finding them on the body. That was an interesting process that I’ll go on to describe below. Since then I’ve been pleasantly surprised during most of the sessions. Over the course of my studies I have been able to sense the chakras in three different ways, the first being clairvoyance, the second temperature and the third clairsentience. I’ve separated the 2nd and 3rd as they each served a different purpose. 

When I started learning energy healing I was a little bit lost as to where the chakras were placed. I asked Spirit to give me a sign when my hand was in the right spot, and it gave me temperature. My hand usually felt heat throughout the session, and I started to notice that this sensation turned to cold when my hand was over the areas I came to identify as the chakras.  This went on for a few weeks, until I started becoming a little bit more confident about the placement of my hands. On some occasions I felt cold when I wasn’t working on the chakras, and took it to mean that I should stay there for a while. Overall temperature really helped me find my way during healing sessions. 

Next I started feeling prickly sensations when there was a lot of healing energy coming through. This prickly sensation evolved into a flow of energy that my imagination saw as white light. This is when my experience with the chakras started to involve clairvoyance. At first I saw this as pure white light flowing through the chakras, and I would count beats in my head until it was time to move on. One day, this white light turned to gold after 10 beats, and I took it to mean that my time there was up.  This method helped me establish a rhythm to the healing sessions, especially I’m under time constraints during a healing session. 

When I had gotten used to the pace of a 15-20 minute session, I stopped looking for that gold light and started seeing colors instead. For example, on one occasion I noticed that my client’s solar plexus was bright yellow with a twisted black cord going through it. It was striking because the colors were very defined and the contrast between the yellow chakra and the black cord were impossible to miss.  During the next session, I noticed that her heart chakra had a lot of orange in it. It didn’t feel angry, but I did get the impression of a very passionate attitude towards life. After the session she mentioned that she was tired because she felt like she needed to pour her heart out into her work and her relationships, and was frustrated that she didn’t get the same in return. This helped me understand the link between our daily life and our subtle energy body.  

Finally, on a few occasions I’ve felt tightness, electricity or even discomfort in my own chakras and /or in my body.  It doesn’t happen very often, when it does it’s usually at the beginning when I’m just tuning into the person’s energy. This will let me know what to focus on during the session, and where to direct my attention if I have time left over. On one occasion I felt a constriction in my throat when I was going to ground the client. I went back to that area for another minute before proceeding to ground her.  This has only happened a handful of times; the reading tool I use most is still color and shape. 

My last point regarding the chakras has to do with tracking progress that a client makes. It’s really helpful to see colors and shapes, especially if you take notes on how the chakras evolve over a series of sessions. One of my clients started the sessions with a very dim crown chakra; at the third session it was funnel shaped and a very light blue. By the last session it had grown into a clear cylinder, and when I discussed this with her she was very happy to learn that her crown had opened up.  It was pretty cool because you can talk about it in very concrete ways that both the healer and the client understand and remember. 

Now that we’ve started to work with the aura I’m really looking forward to going through a similar process. Working with the chakras feels familiar even though I still have a lot to learn. The last time I tried to sense the aura layers I had to give up because I forgot how many there were, and what each one stood for. It doesn't really help if you sense heat over the throat in the 3rd layer, unless you remember what that 3rd layer means. We have class tomorrow so I have to go read last month's notes, as we might be tested on these aura layers !
