A few years ago I read a book called The Universe Has Your Back, by Gabby Bernstein. I love it on so many levels, but there was one thing that stuck with me. From the moment that I began reading, a specific visual kept popping into my mind; an image of my 4-year old self sitting on my mom or dad's lap and pretending to drive a car. It made me laugh.
The message was that we may think we are driving, but we are too small to see the road, to reach the pedals or to know how to drive. The second part of the visual was me handing over the steering wheel and letting the adults drive. I felt a ton of resistance and didn't want to let go of the wheel 😅
At one point, Gabby uses the same metaphor - it blew my mind - us handing over a steering wheel and letting the Universe take over. Since then I have reminded myself of that clairvoyant image every now and then, but I hadn't given the actual steering wheel much thought until recently. A few weeks ago I sat down for my daily energy healing meditation, grounding myself before running white-gold light through the transpersonal chakras, which can be found above the head, in the Aura.
These energy centers are in the spiritual Aura layer (the outermost layer). They have to do with the soul's evolution, as well as kilowatts of soul-light that we can channel into the physical world and into our lives.
The Soular (or Soul Star) Chakra sits about two palms above the Crown Chakra. It has tons of information on past lives, innate talents, and traits we have inherited from ancestors. When I tuned into the Soul Star I saw an image of a steering wheel. It could be the steering wheel that we hand off as our soul navigates time and space, or maybe a map of the terrain. For example, it can tell us which routes will be easier, more fun, and which areas to stay away from.
I am not entirely sure what it means, but it resonates. I would love to invite you to meditate on the Soul Star and to share your experiences on social media!
My gut feeling is that as we awaken the Transpersonal Chakras, our awareness shifts and we can connect in deeper and more direct way with the intelligence that resides in the Universe, whether we see it as a Higher Power, the North Star or a Mother Goddess such as Tara, the female Buddha of liberation, compassion and global healing. It also helps to know that we are not alone; we can lean on that connection for support. The energy centers above the Soul Star Chakra are access points for what we might refer to as Divine Intervention. The lower chakras ground that assistance and intuition in the physical world in a practical way.

Working with chakras takes us up and down a ladder of awareness that gives us a broader view of who we are and how we fit into the Universe. Before going up that ladder, we need solid foundations. Here is a meditation to Activate the Earth Star Chakra, below your feet. This helps us connect with the spirit of Nature including trees, plants and flowers for deeper grounding. It is one of the Transpersonal Chakras (See HERE).

Ps ... I have just begun reading a wonderful book called TARA: The Liberating Power of the Female Buddha by Rachael Wooten, PHD. She is a depth (Jungian) psychologist, which helps to situate spirituality within the psyche and historical contexts. The name Tara means Star - so many meditations involve a guiding star. The Stellar Gateway Chakra is in the Aura above the Soular; it sends light through this soul center into the Crown & Heart Chakras.
