My last post was about a workshop called Awakening the Illuminated Heart, and how grounded I have felt ever since. The class is based on the teachings of a man called Drunvalo Melchizadech. I didn't know what to expect as the teachings are very New Age (Merkabas, Ascension,, etc). The class was pretty cool, a heart-based approach to co-creation. One of the big perks for me however, was how my energy field adapted. I now find it a lot easier to ground my energy through my Root Chakra.
This was a big step as I've always been one to ground my through my feet instead of my Root Chakra. Try as I might, I couldn't visualize or feel grounding cords at the base of my spine. If you're wondering, grounding refers to how well we connect with Mother Earth and how safe we feel in the world. That connection also makes it easier for us to release stress, tension and emotional debris into the ground for cleansing. We can also use our grounding to draw up earth energy, boosting our own energy levels. See here for Grounding 101.
The other secret is that the deeper our grounding, the easier it is for us to access clairaudience, clairvoyance and clair-knowing through the Throat, Brow and Crown Chakras as well as their corresponding Aura layers. We need solid grounding, a strong Aura and decent shielding skills to flex our Chakras safely. My foot Chakras compensated for the lack of grounding in my Root and my energy also skewed heavily towards the Brow Chakra which is great, but the Brow can lend itself to overthinking things. I would much rather let my intuition guide me. This workshop was about grounding in the Heart and letting it be our new driver. The first thing I noticed was deeper grounding. A few days later I felt a clearing in my Heart and Brow. The visual was stunning, a white dove and a flash of gold light. I could see and feel the light for two or three days and then in disappeared back to where it came from.
A few days later my energy shifted again during a basic Chakra meditation. This time it was my Aura. I saw myself surrounded in a deep violet light and before I knew what happened, it dawned on me that I was looking at my seventh Aura layer. This is the outermost part of our spiritual Aura and its full of Crown Chakra energy. In her book Hands of Light, Barbara Brennan also tells us that the seventh Aura layers holds together the rest of our aura (it's the shell that protects and filters the energies around us).
This is the first time I sense it in so much detail and it made me think back to one of my first psychic classes, back in 2010. My teacher told us that we had seven aura layers, each corresponding to one of the main Chakras. When we're starting out on our intuitive journey, its easiest for us to activate and feel the innermost layers: physical, mental and emotional and that's why so many psychics can tune into how other people feel. That is more or less where I am now. Not sure what happened and why my perception jumped from the inner layers to the outermost (7th) layer. The violet energy is often associated with St Germain and with manifesting or magic. I'm curious to see what happens with the middle layers, which I haven't activated consciously.
Thinking back to my days as a student Healer at the School of Intuition & Healing, we also studied Chakra pairs. The Root, Heart and Crown bring stability to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. One of my classmates likened the three Chakras to the bread in a club sandwich, holding all of the ingredients together. Now that my Root, Heart and Crown seem to be working on a more conscious level, maybe the rest of the Chakras will follow. I've been meditating almost every day since this workshop, can't wait to see what happens and I'm hoping that my Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras follow suit. If I look at what Barbara Brennan says about the Aura in Hands of Light, the 7th layer holds the blueprint of who we are on a soul level, and hopefully that will filter down to my human identity in the third Aura layer and my Solar Plexus. Maybe it will remind me that there's more to me (and you) than we realize.
