In human relationships, conflicts and challenges are inevitable. From personal relationships to professional endeavors, we often find ourselves entangled in situations that test our patience, understanding, and resilience. It's natural to seek solutions, to yearn for healing, but what if the very obstacle standing in the way of our recovery is our reluctance to accept our role in the problem? The Power of Self-Reflection: Embracing healing means acknowledging our own shortcomings and contributions to the issues at hand. Self-reflection is the mirror that reflects our actions, attitudes, and decisions. By shying away from this reflection, we deny ourselves the opportunity for genuine growth and resolution. The refusal to accept responsibility not only prolongs the pain but also hampers the healing process significantly. The Paradox of Blame: Blaming external factors might provide temporary relief to our bruised egos, but it is a short-lived comfort. The truth remains: true healing begins when we accept our flaws and work towards rectifying them. By holding ourselves accountable, we open the door to empathy, understanding, and forgiveness, not only from others but also from within. Breaking the Cycle: One of the fundamental reasons for delayed healing is the perpetuation of negative patterns. When we refuse to acknowledge our part in the problem, we inadvertently repeat the same mistakes. By embracing our accountability, we break this cycle, paving the way for healthier relationships and fostering personal development. Building Stronger Connections: In personal relationships, the ability to admit our mistakes and apologize sincerely strengthens the bond. It creates an atmosphere of trust and understanding, essential ingredients for any healthy relationship. In professional settings, acknowledging our role in a problem demonstrates leadership and integrity, earning the respect of colleagues and superiors alike. Embracing Vulnerability: Accepting responsibility requires courage. It demands that we confront our own vulnerabilities and imperfections. However, it is in this vulnerability that we find our true strength. By embracing our flaws, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, leading to profound personal growth and emotional resilience. The Role of Forgiveness: Acknowledging our faults is the first step; seeking forgiveness, both from others and ourselves, is the next. Forgiveness is a powerful catalyst for healing. By apologizing sincerely and making amends, we not only heal the wounds we've caused but also inspire others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of positive change. Final Thoughts... Since we are the creators of our reality, acknowledging our role in the problem is the thread that stitches together broken pieces, weaving a story of resilience, growth, and healing. Let us embrace our accountability, for it is the cornerstone upon which genuine healing and personal evolution are built. By accepting ourselves as part of the problem, we pave the way for a brighter, more harmonious future, both within ourselves and in our interactions with the world. In today's fast-paced world, many struggle to navigate the complexities of their inner selves and often find it challenging to introspect, question, and take accountability for their problems. Recognizing this, I offer a guiding hand to those feeling lost or stuck in their personal journeys. Through Higher Self Coaching and Spiritual Sounding Board appointments, I provide a safe space for individuals to delve within, encouraging them to ask crucial questions and find the answers they seek. By partnering with me, one can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth. If you need assistance or are simply seeking clarity, I am here to support and guide you every step of the way. In love and truth, Lori Lines

The principle that everything is energy isn’t some new-age concept. Science has proven that energy is the foundation of all matter. The same energy that fuels your body courses through the walls of your dwelling, the Spring blossoms, and the sea. Energy is not limited to physical matter; electromagnetic life force also imbues thoughts and feelings! The universal network of life force frequency connects all creation and the intentions and emotions that manifest it. You may ask, if everything is energy, what differentiates me from the family pet or the car in the driveway? What separates you from the birds, the trees, or your next-door neighbor are the composition of your molecules and the frequency at which they vibrate. Some molecules have a high vibration or fast frequency, and some molecules have a low vibration or slower frequency. Vibrational Frequency Our physical and subtle bodies have varying electromagnetic waves which vibrate continuously. While we are often encouraged to be high vibrational and avoid people, places, thoughts, or emotions that are low vibrational, low vibrations aren’t intrinsically bad, and high vibrations aren’t inherently good. For example, nature has a lower vibration than spirit or soul, but by grounding ourselves to the slower or lower frequency of the earth, we can better access the world of Spirit. Why do we put so much importance on maintaining a high vibration? Because the energy field of your subtle body is intended to be high, closer to the higher self, which is your personal ideal. Higher is, therefore, better because it is optimal for humankind. Lifting our vibration and raising our vibration creates change on the cellular level, thereby improving our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health because we are letting go of all we are not and becoming more aligned with whom we are meant to be. The Healing Power of a High Vibration As we have established, as spiritual beings having a human experience, our optimal frequency should be closer to Spirit and farther from the temporality of the material world. As such, our vibration becomes low when we hold on to what we are not, and we begin to feel sadder, weaker, more ill at ease, hopeless, and helpless. And when we release energies that weigh us down, it is only natural that we will feel happier, healthier, more peaceful, and more hopeful. A high or optimal vibrational also allows us to rise above the chaos, confusion, and limitations of the physical world to find greater alignment with our higher purpose, self-actualize, and manifest our needs and desires. What Does a High Vibration Make Possible? Alignment Once we reach our optimal frequency, we quickly identify when our vibration is low, balanced, or high. This enables us to recognize what lowers our vibration, what matches it, and what lifts it. For example, we all know that one person seems to suck the air from the room as soon as they enter, causing you to feel depleted as soon as you see them. Conversely, have you noticed that a particular activity, like going for a long walk or taking a hot bath, instantly makes you feel lighter and puts you at ease? Or have you met someone and felt an instant comfort and emotional connection? These are all instances of your spirit speaking to you about what lowers, raises, and matches your vibration. Actualization Sovereignty starts by achieving your optimal vibration and taking accountability for your emotions. When we are more emotionally and vibrationally aware, we can better assume responsibility for ourselves and our experiences. Think of the friend constantly bemoaning others for making them feel angry or unlovable, or the family member who falls head over heels whenever they meet a new romantic partner, saying things like, I can’t live without her, or he is my everything. These people have lost sight of themselves as the locus of their own lives and the creator of their own experiences, lowering their vibration. An optimal frequency naturally lends itself to emotional balance. Learning to acknowledge, accept, and process your emotions is essential for maintaining a high vibration because emotions reflect how you have grown and how you may still need to recognize, release, and heal. Manifestation We can manifest anything we want if we match the vibration of our desires. With a low vibration, we attract circumstances that lower our frequency. For instance, if you are focused on feelings of loneliness and lack, you will naturally attract more people and events that make you feel lonely and lacking. If, on the other hand, you are alone and don’t have the prosperity you desire, and you focus on raising your vibration by embodying the warmth and happiness of love and the ease and gratitude of abundance, you will attract what you need and desire because thoughts and emotions have their own frequencies and good or bad, like attracts like. So, keep that vibration high! The Collective Vibration As a collective, the same principles apply. The results would be miraculous if we came together as a global collective and united in our mission to raise our vibration. We would not only find alignment with our own higher purpose but our purpose as a collective, alignment with what is communally beneficial. We could learn to find emotional balance and harmony across humankind, where we would connect through lovingkindness and compassion. It would no longer be us versus them and the victims versus the villains; we would each take accountability for ourselves and the general good. Finally, we could manifest the social, spiritual, and environmental healing we all desire. A collective with a high vibration can manifest a modern utopia, absent hate, war, or destruction. But thankfully, we don’t have to wait until humankind unites. All it takes is a few of us to manifest a few more, and slowly like ripples on the water, we shift the vibration until we create a new reality and, ultimately, a new world. Creating our Reality Abraham Hicks said, “as you think, you vibrate. As you vibrate, you attract.” And it is really that simple! By changing your thoughts and governing your emotions, you can elevate to your optimal frequency, achieving better mood, health, relationships, and higher goals. But first, you must Take Accountability Believe Trust You must take accountability for your life and outcomes, good or bad because only you have the power to change them. You must believe that by Divine design, you have the sovereign authority to create the reality you desire. And you must trust in universal law and order and that the energy you put forth will result in the manifestation you achieve. How to Raise & Maintain Your Vibration Physically What is good for your body is also beneficial for your vibe! Eating more unprocessed food and less junk, drinking more water and less alcohol, prioritizing sleep over devices, and moving more and lounging less can all contribute to a higher vibration. Of course, you may also want to incorporate crystals, essential oil, yoga, or Qi Jong, but getting the basics right is fundamental. Mentally In the same way, you need to be mindful of what your body consumes; you must be aware of what your brain consumes. Avoid entertainment that brings you down with a lot of violence or depressing themes. Try to listen to podcasts and read books that uplift and inform. Limit your time with people who like to complain, gossip, or use hateful rhetoric. Finally, it is vital that you monitor your thoughts and find healing ways to curtail negative ruminations and negative self-talk. Your mind is a garden, prune the weeds and water what you want to grow! Emotionally Three words gratitude, generosity, and compassion! It isn’t a surprise that being entitled, stingy, and selfish is a vibe killer! To nourish your emotional self, you should do what intrinsically makes you feel good; you can start a gratitude journal, list the gifts or aptitudes you can share, and read up on active listening. If you make others feel good in a healthy way by honoring your highest good and theirs alike, then you can raise your vibration and help someone lift theirs as well. Spiritually Spirituality is very individual. A walk in the woods may feel deeply spiritual to some, while journaling or shuffling oracle cards may be the way others commune with Spirit. What is most essential is finding time to silence the “monkey mind” and breathe into spaciousness and peace. By clearing and quieting the mind, you can release all you are not and create space for all you are. Practice the art of being and watch your vibration soar! Creating the Ultimate Reality A higher vibration begins by practicing the Universal Law of Attraction, which will help you gain a profound respect for your creator power. This will cultivate an understanding of how your energy influences your reality, allowing you to embrace the Law of Correspondence, which stipulates that your external circumstances reflect your inner experience. This is when you awaken to realize that if you are misaligned with the lovingkindness, compassion, and harmony of the universe, your life will be in a state of disharmony, alienation, and apathy. When you embrace the unconditional love and unity of the universe, your vibration will rise, and you will thrive. And this is the definitive path to honoring the Law of Divine Oneness, which states that all energy is connected to the Divine Source frequency of the universe, meaning we are all one being; To treat oneself with compassion is to treat all others with compassion, and to treat all others with kindness is to treat oneself with kindness. And a world whose populace vibrates in alignment with this law has reached the absolute reality, the ascended dimension. In Love and Truth, Lori Lines  By Lori Lines
There can be a lot of confusion about the human energy system, or it is sometimes completely overlooked. However, just as it is essential to understand the brain, organ system, or musculature system to promote health and wellbeing, so too must we be able to grasp our energetic inner workings. The Physical Plane - The Etheric Body The etheric body is a vessel that carries us through and interacts with our life experiences. This is the plane that we associate with our humanity and personhood. The Etheric Body is both influenced and influences the Astral and Causal bodies or the Emotional and Mental Body, respectively. The Etheric Body's principal components are the nadis, chakras, and the aura. The Nadis - The pulse, blood vessel, or pipe in Sanskrit, nadir carry vital life force energy to the chakras, like an electric plug or cord. There are 3 primary nadis; unblocking them and achieving perfect energy flow contribute to liberty and ascension. The Chakras - Wheel or disk in Sanskrit, a chakra is an energy center that is both fed and feeds the nadir, keeping Prana flowing through the Etheric Body, like the motor of an electric car, it charges its own battery, but also needs to be plugged in for an added boost. The Aura - The residual energy that the Etheric Body casts off creates an electromagnetic field that is the first auric layer. This layer only extends about an inch or two from the physical body. The Emotional Plane - The Astral Body As discussed, the emotional plane is both influenced and influences the mental and physical planes. It is why stress causes tension headaches and indigestion, or depression and anxiety change the chemistry of our brains. Dis-ease across one energetic Body can cause contagion across all three! This is why wholistic healing is integral. The Astral Body's principal components are the chakras and the aura. The Chakras - In the Etheric Body, the chakras facilitate our corporeal experience. In the Astral Body, the chakras facilitate our emotional experience. 7 primary Astral chakras keep our emotional energy flowing and balanced. The healthy flow of these energy centers allows us to process and fully experience our emotions. The Aura - The Astral aura extends 12-24 inches beyond the body. It is the energy field people refer to when discussing reading, shielding, and strengthening the aura. It is our protective and personal energy field. the aura is a source of energy for your chakras yet is also fed by the chakras' frequencies. The Mental Plane - The Causal Body The Causal Body or Mental Plane is further divided into the Mental Sub-Plane and the Causal Sub-Plane. One could define the distinction as cognitive function vs. higher consciousness. It is also differentiated by what the sub-planes generate. The Mental Body's output is tangible or quantifiable, like a heart rate or an I.Q. test. whereas the Causal body's output is intangible or metaphysical. Again, the Mental Plane is both influenced and influences the Physical and Emotional Planes. This is why anxiety can cause palpitations or thinking of a departed loved once can make us feel sad. Mental Sub-plane Cells & Structures - Orchestrating the delicate balance between bodily systems, this level of functioning is what informs our cardiovascular system, circadian rhythms, metabolism and more. It is also how a cell knows it is a part of the earlobe and not grey matter or a fingertip. Concrete Intellect - Responsible for your higher-cognitive functioning such as memory, problem-solving, concentration, and conceptualization. It is the part of the brain that follows a recipe, performs algebra, and conceives innovative business ideas and artistic concepts for creative explorations. Higher Mind - Like the concrete intellect, the Higher Mind is the source of conceptualization and creativity, but to the nth degree! It is where great ideas are formed. Prolific thinkers like Leonardo DiVinci, Marie Curie, and Einstein spend their lifetimes uncovering the gems of the Higher Mind. Causal Sub-plane Karmic Load - We generate karma for every thought, word, and act. In rudimentary terms, the good we create and the healing we achieve are credit. Whereas the harm we cause or stagnation we allow are debt. Their sum is our karmic load. Karmic load is why we are accountable for balancing from previous lifetimes. By accessing and healing karmic debt, we can clear the energy in the Astral and Etheric Bodies, fostering wellbeing and furthering ascension. Keep in mind we are not canceling the karmic load. By accessing it through QHHT, for instance, we learn from it and evolve beyond it. It is my understanding, from the teachings of Dolores Cannon, that the current generation and subsequent generations are given opportunity to erase it for ascension purposes to New Earth. Belief Systems - the beliefs formed on the Causal Sub Plane permeate our Causal, Astral, and Etheric bodies. They are the cumulation of our experiences and affect what experiences we seek moving forward. When left in unawareness, they can create toxic patterns that perpetuate victimhood, abusive tendencies, and addiction. This is due to attracting and manifesting circumstances that sustain the ego-based self-image for better or for worse. For example, if we believe we are sickly, unintelligent, or emotionally damaged, we will manifest people and events that perpetuate this belief. It's essential to recognize that these beliefs can be planted by a parent, teacher, spouse, etc. They don't have to begin with us to grow roots. Of course, we are free to pluck these weeds whenever we are ready. Soul Light - The soul cannot be found in the Etheric, Astral Bodies, or Mental Sub-Plane of the Causal Body. It can be accessed through the Causal Sub-Plane. As such, we maintain some level of autonomy from the soul. The Soul Light is the light of the eternal soul or psyche and, in turn, carries a level of sovereignty from us. The soul is an infinite entity, existing throughout all of our lifetimes, meaning we have much to learn from it. Interestingly, the soul also evolves based on the life experiences we seek and navigate, carrying the wisdom into the next lifetime. We could think of it as a hard drive that connects to a computer. The computer can download from the drive, and the drive can upload from the computer. Yet, both maintain individuality, and the hard drive can be carried from device to device or lifetime to lifetime. Final Thoughts... "The soul is not ruled by time or space. It is infinite..." And yet, you have the power to shape it. Wield this power with the total awareness of who you are on every plane, in every Body.

Free will is a divine gift that endows each and every one of us with our own inner divinity. While a great endowment, the freedom to choose means every day we must choose between conscious and unconscious acts, positive vibrations and negative, right and wrong. Inevitably, some people will choose unconscious or willfully hurtful behavior, leaving you feeling hurt, betrayed, angered, or disappointed. Since free will is their divine birthright, you can do nothing to change them or their hurtful actions. Don’t be mistaken! This does not mean you have no power and are left with no recourse. You have the same birthright of choice. Whether these painful circumstances were pre-destined, to help you learn and grow, or they are weaponized use of someone else’s free will, you get to decide whether you will build a staircase to ascension on them or let them drag you down like an anchor in a sea of emotions. Though not the easiest path, the most constructive is to choose to cast off the mantle of victimhood and don the armor of victory. However, understand when you remain the victim, you are just as responsible for your path as choosing to be a victor. The hurt, helplessness, disempowerment of people who refuse to take responsibility for their own healing is their burden to carry. While it may seem like an injustice, there comes the point when the person who wounded them is no longer held accountable for the impact on the injured person’s life path. The Road to Healing If you choose to take back your power, bravo! Although it may be challenging spiritual work, you are more than capable of realigning yourself with your path and purpose. Keeping in mind that healing looks different for everyone, the following guide may help shape your journey of empowerment. The first step in your healing journey is to accept that the other person may never acknowledge they’ve done anything wrong. Accepting that painful truth is essential because it gives you back your power. If you can’t rely on them to right the wrongs, you will seek your own resolution. In the “light and love” society we live in, there tends to be a lot of spiritual and emotional bypassing. You must give yourself permission to feel all your feelings, including anger. It is only by facing your hurt that you will be able to release it- you can’t clean out the basement without unpacking it first! Once you have explored your pain, there is no need to linger there. Focus on the present. That is where your healing takes place, after all. You may want to come up with a healing affirmation to reorient you to your present and purpose, such as “I am present, I am powerful, I am progressing” or any other easy-to-remember positive declarations. Above all, be gentle with yourself! Perhaps you will find release in journaling, discussing (not dumping!) the events with a trusted friend or counselor, or seeking therapies like QHHT to dive deeper into the wisdom underlying your pain. Treat yourself like a dear friend, showing yourself compassion because we are all works in progress. Remember, “you can be a work in progress and a masterpiece simultaneously!” In love and truth, Lori Lines  By Lori Lines
The late great Dolores Cannon used to ask her ailing clients, "are you willing to give up what is making you sick?" She would ask this question in the wake of a QHHT® hypnosis session. While this question may seem harsh to some, it's simplicity gives rise to our own empowerment as more of us awaken to our responsibility tending to our thoughts, actions and emotions that block us and make our lives...well..."sick." The majority of the people in the world are living mechanical lives based on social conditionings and false beliefs instilled in us since childhood and beyond. Our inharmonious thoughts and feelings, our desires and our compulsive behaviors create major blocks which densify our bodies and lower our vibrational frequency so that we become vulnerable to the negativity (or our created negative energy) around us. Consequently, individuals attract situations and people of similar energies based on the cosmic principle of "like attracts like." Mental blocks are nothing but dark energies stagnated in our consciousness over long periods of time. These blocks can unconsciously be held within parts of our bodies, too. When we cling to our negativity and appropriate our woes and sadness, we unwittingly trap them into our subconscious being, where they gradually crystallize into mental, physical and emotional blocks that affect us adversely at all levels. These blocks obstruct the divine flow of energy into our being and can shift us out of alignment with our Source, so that all our thoughts and emotions are tainted with pessimism. Our conscious-awareness is a sentry that guards our thoughts and feelings from straying away from the Source Light of Love and Peace. When some outside situation provokes us to anger, fear, hatred and the like, we must be aware of our emotions and our inner dialogue that expresses those emotions. It's important for us to be in control of our emotions before they overwhelm us. How to take control? Take a pause, watch your negative emotions as a passive spectator. Acknowledge each emotion that comes up, with: I am feeling "anger"...or I am feeling "fear" and so on. Observe your emotions without allowing them to ruffle your feelings. Your quiet vigilance prevents the discordant emotions to take possession of your heart, mind, even your body, and keeps them under control. Do not be tempted to resist and analyze them or reason with them, but simply be with them until they subdue and dissolve into stillness. With the power of presence we can get rid ourselves of mental/emotional blocks and choose to lead a wholesome life, free from the compulsions of our negative thoughts. It's helpful to challenge our fears that pose as obstructions to our success and well-being, and dare to break free from our comfort zone for a more enterprising life. Know that fears are illusory by nature, and appear real only as long as we give it our energy to dominate over us. Fears enfeeble the mind and cripple the spirit. Similarly, it helps to be conscious of our mental activity at any given time. It is typical of the mind to drift off to its shady haunts of dismal memories, bringing with it the dark remnants of pain and sorrow which cloud our present moment of sunshine and happiness and steep us into our own misery. Your conscious-awareness repels untoward thought, allowing only those which are in keeping with our health and well-being. When you catch yourself drifting down the bleak memory-lane, stop your thoughts right dead in their tracks and immediately replace it with that which uplifts your spirit and evokes joy in your heart. If the thought hangs on, I affirm, "I nullify this thought so that it does not enter into my subjective mind." It is helpful to engage in constructive activities that are instrumental in increasing mental cheerfulness and better concentration. Life is not meant to be taken so seriously. If we learn to laugh in the face of our trials and tribulations, we can understand that hardships are merely the lessons of life that we need to go through for our own spiritual progress. These are transient - here, one minute and gone the next. If we refuse to internalize other people's aggressive behavior towards us, we rise to the understanding it is nothing personal - it is just their way of releasing their inner turmoil and pent-up frustrations. So, go ahead and dare to laugh when ordeals compel you to cry; dare to love and forgive your enemies when they provoke you to anger and hatred; dare to be resilient when the blows of life bear down on you so that you are able to bounce back good and strong once they are through with you; dare to remain anchored in the Light of Peace when fears threaten to close in on you and jeopardize your happiness. Shadows and sunshine are a part of one's spiritual journey. You have to allow yourself to move on and enjoy the ride. Keep moving onward and upward, and look forward to new changes that bring with them surprises and opportunities. Cast burdens onto your Higher Power and live free like a child who is filled with hope and wonderment. Find joys in the simple things in life. A happy heart is a healthy heart. Afflictions and maladies can cease to exist in a body that resonates with true peace and joy. Though easier said than done, practicing presence and vigilance over our hearts and minds requires persistent effort and a sense of responsibility on our parts. It is a pre-requisite in order to gain mastery over self and to live by the power of our souls so that we become a source of attraction for Universal Peace, Abundance, Health, and Prosperity.

Hearing ringing in your ears of late? Did you know this is a form of clairaudience? For those of you who do not know what the word clairaudient means, it is the faculty of perceiving, by hearing, what is inaudible. What is happening in our world, as many of you are moving up the ascension ladder from a 3 dimensional reality to a 4 and 5 dimensional reality, is the light forces and the dark forces are using psychic toning to either help or to hinder our soul's enlightenment to truth. Psychic toning is something we really want to be aware of and to pay attention to. If you have been on the spiritual path, releasing false beliefs and releasing all dark emotions that weigh you down and entering into your own light of truth, you may be noticing various tones from very high to low. Some tones are high and some are not. The ringing may last for long periods of time or they may come in shorter duration. Those who are not spiritually awakening either may not notice this phenomena or they may notice low vibrational frequencies only. The important thing to notice is how they make you FEEL. Noticing and acknowledging the toning is very important. Why? Because they are asking you to pay attention to your emotions, how you feel, at the time you notice the tones and their shifting frequencies. Some tones will make you feel happy and some will make you feel agitated, angry, sad (the emotions of the darkness within.) What is happening is something is vying for your attention. Do not feel fearful about this. You have control over the tones you hear, whether you want to hear them at all. If you like them, fine. If you don't, that's fine too. But, if you are hearing them and you find your moods swinging too much or the tones are too strong, ask your Angels and Guides or your Higher Self, of the highest order for the highest good, to tone it down. Tell them if the tones are too loud or too intense. You will begin to notice the difference as your prayer is answered. In my experience, higher tones tend to make me feel better. My Guidance tells me that when this is happening, I'm receiving delivery of upgrades to my frequency, light codes, and my DNA. Therefore, I accept them, with gratitude, to the Angels, Guides, and Masters. For me, when I am hearing the really high tonal frequencies, someone is saying or thinking something very positive about me. Conversely, when I hear the low tones, depending on how loud they are determines just how loud someone is talking about me. So, if someone is really angry or upset with me, in some way, I will hear it in a low tone and their essence will be made known to me. If they are really, really projecting anger toward me, the tonal frequency becomes so intense that I know I have to spiritually protect myself from psychic attack. I've learned through these negative experiences of tonal frequencies that I am in control of this and that I do not need to know who is reacting negatively to me. It's none of my business what others think. Remembering that our world is a free-will zone, I am given the advance notice to make the choice to stay in a positive frame of mind or to react negatively. When we react positively and centered in the neutrality of love, we are staying in a higher frequency (in the 4D and the 5D reality.) When our emotions react negatively, there are dark forces that feed on and harvest the negative energy of that emotion and it is spread out among us. We get to choose.

Spring means rebirth and this month she arrives when streams are ripe and swelled with rain and till May she will stay.

By Lori Lines The seventh chakra, the crown chakra, is centered at the widest spot of the fontanelle that you had as a baby. Associated with the pituitary gland, the seventh is your instrument of direct communication with the Divine. This communication stimulates your evolution toward at-one-ment is mostly temporary. However, it grows more and more lasting as your seventh chakra becomes open, clear and active. Your consciousness becomes such that you comprehend the variety and complexity as well as the connectedness of all things. You are in wakeful contact with each plane of your existence, and have the integrity and courage to deeply examine each of your inner worlds. Your personality is also very strong, yet gentle. You're able to manage earthly elements and to flow with forces beyond our earth, yet you do so with ample kindness for humanity. Meanwhile you maintain a rather detached perspective on yourself and your many little ways. At the time of your death you remain totally aware, knowing that you are dying and going ahead with it anyhow. The evolved consciousness of an open crown chakra, together with good function and balance in the other major centers, may be called self-realization. Self-realization does not come about unless all the chakras are equally active. One may have a wide-open seventh, but rarely will one be able to take responsibility for mundane tasks. There are others who may be creative geniuses, whose seventh, sixth, and fifth are their only fully functional chakras and who consequently require someone else to look after them and care for their earthly needs. Kind of likened to the "absent minded professor." When the seventh chakra is closed up, you create or perpetuate a condition of limited growth. In some cultures, men and women alike wear head coverings that tend to restrict seventh-chakra activity and curtail personal unfolding. To keep on living a limited life is the most severe form of inner dishonesty and delusion. For many people the only experience of access to the Source occurs at the moment of death. A closed seventh leads both to a fear of dying and a fear of enjoying life. The delusion takes hold that if you really enjoy life, you're bound to lose it. So you cling to the closed attitude that "life is suffering, and then you die." This delusion can be likened to someone with a victim mentality. Few of us are clear in the seventh chakra. For some of us, it's enough merely to be aware of the fact that we have a seventh chakra. To take the first steps toward opening and using the seventh calls for great courage and dedication, because there's no turning back. Once you begin the process, you'll never again be content with devoting yourself to conventional, mundane goals for their own sake. No degree of wealth or status or worldly achievement will give you a sense of fulfillment, unless you can manage this while realizing your seventh-chakra perceptions and priorities. It's far preferable to open the seventh very gradually, by the natural means of meditation, prayer, essential oils, and the use of crystals. As you do so, meanness and selfish ambition melts away. You'll find it increasingly difficult to act "unconsciously" or "with diminished capacity," above all toward another person. This doesn't mean that you refrain from anger and other strong emotions. It means you are able to use anger appropriately and constructively as a tool for self-defense or for sparking another person's higher self. When you start living your life according to seventh-chakra consciousness, you enter into the realm of unconditional love - within yourself and with other sentient beings. Unconditional love is the greatest power in the Universe. It burns negative karma and can enable you to do ten years' worth of growing in a fraction of that time. For opening and balancing the crown chakra, the most recommended single oils include: . Oil blends include: Frankincense, Myrrh, Jasmine, and Lavender. Oil Blends that are highly recommended are 3 Wise Men, Gathering, Inspiration. Apply one drop with one drop carrier oil on the top of the head.

Young Living Essential Oils is about health and how essential oils like Basil, Geranium, Eucalyptus and other Aromatherapy Oils sooth, clear, rejuvenate, stimulate, and even strengthen mental focus and concentration. How essential oils affect deeply has been proven time and again and these days, more and more people resort to oils instead of drugs, knowing that oils go beyond merely relieving a person of the symptoms of disease. They go deep into chakra levels to balance energies that overburden or under-utilize the physical body. You can use essential oils that rejuvenate and give the body a boost of energy after a long day’s exposure to the pain of fatigue. Of course, prevention is still the best cure, and there are oils for that, but for the average human, one cannot avoid exposure due to the need to earn a living or when we take on stress in any way. Essential oils hydrate, oxygenate and detoxify by boosting circulation and minimizing obstructions. They are not invasive but will penetrate the skin, rather quickly, and enter the bloodstream without hampering the natural functioning of the other organs of the human body. They only require delicate application, sometimes by mere smelling, and will still be powerful and effective especially when it comes to dealing with stress-related physical ailments. They can calm the heart while boosting circulation. They can improve and enhance digestion and liver functioning and one very interesting benefit is how oils affect the chakra and energy balance in the body. Oils have a direct connection to yoga and yoga techniques in that they help achieve what yoga wants to accomplish, via the asana and meditative practices, for energy balance in the body. Yoga and essential oils, together, will give the practitioner a myriad of physical, spiritual and mental benefits that shame the way drugs work. Oils are natural and there are increasing indications of appreciation in the use of what is natural in the body. Oils have been used for thousands of years in Yoga practicing countries, as well as in many parts of the world, for health and to bring balance in the chakra system. When mixed with coconut or olive oil, to rub the feet or the physical locations of the chakra, they’ve been known to promote mental peace and interior balance and therefore heightened spirituality. When used for meditation, these oils enhance tranquility and the practitioner of yoga is able to achieve concentration quickly and with ease.
Here are some oils that affect the mind and body.
Merely smelling these oils, using a cotton ball or tissue or directly from the container will provide great benefits. Some people use these oils as perfumes and apply wherever they wish. At Young Living we believe in the holistic approach to health. Oils are safe, effective, and natural when applied according to directions.

Spring cleaning isn't just for the home, it can also be done to our bodies once in a while. Detoxifying is one of the best ways to clean out the toxins and most of the time it is done to keep organs working great as well as keeping toxin levels to an all-time low. Some do it to get rid of negative vibes, some detox to lose weight, while some people do it just to be fit and healthy. Nowadays, our way of living (no matter how clean we choose to live) contributes to the level of toxins our body accumulates over time. It is only fair that we detox once in a while so we enjoy more energy and overall wellbeing - which is also good for one’s mental health. Detoxifying with essential oils is one of the most relaxing ways to do it. Knowing the right kind of oils to use will make you feel better physically, emotionally and mentally - way better than popping a pill in your mouth. The following are the kinds of oils you can use to help yourself detoxify: Juniper Oil Has a great antioxidant property. Keeps the digestive system working smoothly. Juniper oil relaxes the mind so you can sit back and chill while getting rid of pain. When it comes to its diuretic magic, it helps get rid of toxins, water weight and too much sodium in the body. Peppermint Oil Commonly used in the baths, consumed orally and applied on skin. Some choose to drink it with their detox smoothie and sometimes adding it to water works just as well. It keeps and maintains your level of concentration and helps soothe the digestive system. Frequently mixed with other oils for better results. Grapefruit Oil Though most are used to eating the fruit itself, the oil helps the body better especially when it comes to detoxifying. It is known to kill viruses in the body as well as the microbes. Like any detox oil, it also cleans the body by getting rid of all the toxins and wastes. Rosemary Oil Not only is it an amazing herb to use when cooking but its oil has amazing detox effects as well. It helps improve one’s digestion, circulation, has anti-inflammatory benefits as well diuretic properties. It is known to ward off cancer and memory loss. You can inhale the oil (by aromatherapy), use it in a bath or use it as massage oil. Orange Oil Orange isn’t just for quenching your thirst; its oil is highly beneficial as well.

Miscommunication: Not on the same page with your loved one(s) no matter what you do? Time to let go.2/19/2016  By Lori Lines
Stronger love frequencies are noted today. Are you feeling it? I’m receiving the energetic messages of the entrance of freedom to a more expanded love. Also, the message that Light Workers who’ve felt separation, misunderstood, used to not belonging within your tribal origins (your biological families in particular) because of your ability to hold space of unconditional love - are being called to recognize your worth and accept the higher frequencies moving you from holding the space of love to the more expanded space of JOY for humanity. The Universe is “upping the ante.” And, Light workers, it’s your time to shine. Many of you find yourselves moving back and forth from higher vibrations to the lower vibrational frequencies because you are attempting to pull people you love, who are stuck in lower frequencies, up and along with you. Many of you are already seeing this as evidenced in your communications with others who cannot “hear” you, who continuously misunderstand you, who have judged and labeled you the villain when you mirror truth, who can only interpret you through their heavier filters. This may be manifesting in arguments, disagreements, denigration, hypersensitivity, frustration, confusion, fuzziness, vanity, co-dependency, insecurity, etc., in either or both of you. Here is where you have the opportunity to trust what is happening. The more you try to control your relationships out of need, the worse they will get. This is a sign as the Universe is giving you the opportunity to decide what your priorities are. Are your priorities love, joy, happiness and expansion? Or are your priorities the lower frequencies of money, war, alcohol, drugs, sex with those whom you do not resonate? The perpetuation of separation through engaging in distractions such as politics? Greed? Envy? Comparing? Competition? Remember, you have the gift of free-will. The more you hang on to that which weighs you down and keeps you mired in the heaviness of lower vibrations, the more you may suffer. Continuous release will help you stay in your center and move you up the wrung of the ascension ladder to JOY. But, remember, more and more souls on this planet are still working on and attempting LOVE. If you have already internalized and embodied the LOVE frequency, it is now time to move into JOY. You may find that being with those who are still working on LOVE no longer resonates with you, in the same way, because you are moving into the more ethereal JOY vibration. Trust this discomfort. Allow it to come in and settle into your be-ing. Do not resist it. Because, it is in the surrender and acceptance of this discomfort, that it no longer has power over you and you dissolve and release lower vibrational frequencies which will move you into a better place. Once you get to that place of JOY then you will be holding the space for others to be in that resonance along with you. And, you will attract more and better that mirrors who you really are. Since we are spiritual beings and since we are connected to all that is, we are doing those who are still working on accepting LOVE a disservice by holding onto them as we now become their distraction to their own SELF-LOVE as evidenced by the communication issues, I spoke of earlier, that you may be having. It is time for Light workers to stop enabling those to stay mired into that which weighs them down. Love is freedom. Love takes no prisoners. Love is constantly releasing. Releasing a situation, releasing someone, releasing old emotions and baggage - all serve love and joy. This does not mean you have to completely disassociate yourself from certain people or situations, it just means your “relationship” to those people and situations take on a different form. This is possible for the more highly evolved who can release quickly and stop holding on to attachments while remaining centered, within their be-ing, and continuing to love that person or situation regardless of what form the “relationship” takes. It is advised that we all look at what needs to be released. Trust the Universe (or God, or whatever you want to call it). Go with the flow of what is happening. And just let go. Wishing you love, blessings, peace, and JOY. © Lori Lines. All Rights Reserved. 2016  By Lori Lines
The sixth chakra (the third eye) is your line to creative energy, and to the kind of comprehension that transcends intellectual knowing. Its two principle functions are intuition and inspiration - access to knowledge that is not learned externally, hunches and visions beyond the reach of the five senses. The sixth is therefore the main channel for all the creative arts. Though sixth-chakra impressions are primarily pictorial, the sixth also acts in combination with the other chakras to turn concepts into worldly reality. The sixth and fifth, working together, enable you to hear original melodies and songs in addition, to details of songs remembered. When you dance with an open sixth, you are the dance - creativity in physical motion. The energy just pours through you. Since the sixth chakra is the organ of subliminal vision, the way to "see" past, present, future, and entities on the "other side" is through the third eye. When the sixth is open and balanced, clairvoyance results. Those who wish their psychic and creative abilities to expand are advised to work slowly and lovingly at opening the sixth for themselves. On the other hand, consistent failure to honor one's intuitions inevitably causes a shrinking of the sixth. Blockage of the sixth chakra can lead to an ultra-rational attitude, or, in combination with a restricted first chakra (root) to a diminished and negative self-image. Hallucinations and spiritual exhibitionism are symptoms of imbalance. Excess is personified by the "God-playing Guru, or by the kind of person who is both intensely overbearing and psychically sapping. In our culture, people routinely fog up and impair their sixth chakra envisioning by steady use of alcohol and/or processed tobacco. It's very difficult to keep in touch with your own intuition unless you remain clear and receptive in your third-eye chakra. Almost all the messages you send and receive are interpreted through the sixth. So it's of utmost importance that you develop it and protect it. Once you begin developing and protecting it, you'll be able to open up your third eye with full confidence that you won't be invaded or hurt. With respect to your general well-being it isn't necessary that you have perfect balance in the sixth chakra, or in any of the chakras. Certainly you'll want to keep advancing toward this end, but in the meantime perfection is not a prerequisite to accessing your third eye. I encourage you to utilize the powers of the sixth chakra to the best of your capacity. On that note, here are the oils that will best help you open and balance the third-eye (sixth) chakra: Single Oils include: Lavender, Rosemary, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Helichrysum. Oil blends include: White Angelica, Awaken, Dream Catcher, Transformation. Apply one drop with one drop carrier oil between the eyebrows.

Effects of stress, as a result of bad memories and experiences, grief and loss, are devastating. We cannot underestimate the need to let go of old baggage, old relationships, outdated belief systems, and people who have hurt us in the past. The majority of people have something that bogs them down emotionally, something that takes toll of their lives mentally and physically, and when we have not dealt with it, the consequences can lead to devastating effects. Old emotional baggage can be a result of several factors, it could be a nasty situation or a person which you encountered in life that hurt you terribly, it could be plans that you were holding onto that suddenly went awry, it could be a trauma that you faced while you were young and possibly this trauma has somehow not been released from your energy field. Perhaps you have tried many methods and none has helped. I'm here to tell you that one should not lose hope because there are many ways to release. One of the services I provide is to guide people with emotional baggage through guided meditation coupled with essential oils to help identify and release that which weighs you down from moving forward in life. Essential oils have been proven, in my healing practice, to work and eventually empower my client(s) to lead happy, more fulfilling lives. But it's a process. A very rewarding process. For my clients who value full body and full emotional wellness, a chance to deal with a problem or a belief system which keeps one stuck that might have taken its toll in one's life has been gratefully accepted and welcomed. We are all aware that there is no greater wealth than good health and most people would do anything in their capacity to ensure that they achieve optimal health. Essential oils are meant to do just that: to help us in attaining our best form by raising our vibrational frequencies. Aromatherapy (therapeutic use of essential oils) is something that has been around for many years and has been tried and found to be effective. Those who have used these products have learned of their intense power and a special kind of energy that can only be found in these kinds of oils. Therapeutic grade essential oils are extracted directly from the plant , so those who may be having thoughts of being harmed by the oil need not worry as they are suitable for human consumption. The fact that they are obtained in their natural form means that they have life force energy that can be used for certain intentions. Conventional wisdom concurs that the amount of energy contained in the oils is high enough to release all the negative energy stored in our bodies. Here's how it works on a spiritual, energetic level: Basically, everything is alive, everything is constantly changing and everything has a meaning. Our bodies are a dense culmination of Karmic energy and, therefore, each of us "vibrates" at our own frequency based on all that we have accumulated and released up to now. Therefore, certain organs in our bodies carry certain emotions through our energy systems called chakras. The way essential oils work is they seep into the emotions and can change our frequencies for the better. They are known to be transmitted directly to the part of the brain which is known as the emotional control center. This is the point where the decision on where emotions are to be stored in our bodies are made. This may seem like a very complex process but understanding it is easy especially when this has been part of life experiences. When it comes to the application of the essential oils, you need to do it in the recommended way which ensures that you achieve the desired result. Be sure to follow the instructions and be assured you are on a journey to achieve full and balanced positive energy. When done in the right way, under the right regime you are assured that the feelings will be awakened, you will feel those feelings as you release them, and then you can be left with a feeling of courage, excitement, well-being and even joy. It is also important to make sure you inhale by diffusing the essential oils appropriate for release, allowing the therapeutic aroma to massage your inner spirit. It is important to stay aware and allow your emotions to surface without attempting to distract yourself from them, to stay present with them - because the more you do this the quicker you will release negativity. Otherwise, this process will draw out very long and you may be discouraged to continue on. Note that this one process will not be wiping your slate completely clean, but will be making yourself ready to start afresh, once again, by clearing the way for new and better to come into your life. If you have been carrying old baggage, it is high time you let it go, they will continue weighing you down unless you do something about it. Most clients say it is so refreshing to let the dead weight off their shoulders. Essential oils have been tried and tested and found to be very effective along these lines as you will not only feel energized but also feel like a part of some huge load that has been weighing you down has been lifted. There is so much joy in doing this as the quality of your life will be truly enhanced. Applying essential oils for release will help you open the inner self as you will feel traumatic and negative past experiences melting right away. When this happens your inner voice will slowly come back, giving you the energy that has been hidden inside and, based on my own experiences with essential oils, it is an experience that has positively changed my life for the better. The sweet fragrance will stimulate your memories helping in reconnecting with authentic self. Once you have managed to open the true self , you will have successfully completed an important step in finding the emotional balance that perhaps has been so evasive. What oils are best to use for release? Young Living Essential Oils offers several - however, it needs to be said that this is a very simplistic guideline for "letting go," releasing, and allowing the uplifting feeling of peace and emotional freedom to root into your psyche. Emotional health is a precious gift to our well-being because without it we are simply not living a life of fulfillment.

The fifth chakra is centered in the hollow of your throat and it is your means of communicating with and ministering to the outside world. The functioning of most upper organs - eyes, brain, ears, mouth, nose, thyroid gland, bronchial tubes - is regulated by this chakra. When the throat chakra is healthy in size, unobstructed and working well, all your senses are sharp. Your sincerity is obvious to those around you. You say exactly what you mean, and what you say is well-received. Your phrasing and tone are such that people are seldom put off or threatened or hurt by your words. You don't subvert your own intention in order to be polite, but neither do you inflict careless verbal injury. Clairaudience, the intuitive aptitude for hearing astral voices and music is the psychic power that arises from the unencumbered activity of the throat chakra. On the contrary, if you ignore what your senses take in, if you are apt to feel mortified over what you just said, if you have trouble asserting yourself verbally and articulating what you mean, if there's a big discrepancy between what you say and what you do, or if you tend to indulge in rumor, innuendo, or idle chit chat, it's the fifth chakra that needs attention. Another common pattern of fifth-chakra misuse is that of the authoritarian who is rigid of opinion, stiff-necked, and tight-lipped in order to control the output of the mouth. As you work on restoring balance, strength and resilience to the fifth chakra, it helps enormously to suspend critical judgments and glimpse the spark of Divinity in each person and in each facet of nature. This includes letting go of prejudices and vengeful schemes and refraining from loose, manipulative talk. In most cases, your fifth closes down because you won't speak up. You don't trust the world with what you have to express, and you don't trust yourself to go ahead and say it. If such is the situation, strengthen your fifth by finding new outlets for your expressive energy. Let the radiance of your heart rise up and penetrate your throat. Or try humming so that the sound resonates throughout your neck. Sound is the key to opening the fifth chakra. Singing your children to sleep, chanting in a circle, and singing aloud are positive expressions of the primal scream. When your fifth is an open conduit, your speaking voice is clear and bell-like, without insinuating overtones. It conveys an appealing richness, and if you're musically inclined your abilities are vastly sharpened. Like the first and fourth chakras, the second and fifth are paired up - more noticeably so in women and children. Owing to a fear of rejection, you may restrain yourself from speaking freely. In an effort to win acceptance, you may be heedlessly verbose and given to wild statements. Considering that the fifth chakra channels directly to every sense but touch, one of its main purposes is to keep you involved in the sensory world. Meanwhile, your emotional life and sense of touch are nourished by the second chakra. In general, numbness is a two-level weakness that affects both the second and the fifth. When people shut off their hearing, fog their vision, or develop speech problems, it's often because they're allowing a pattern of emotional deadening to ride up from the sacral center to the throat center. The third chakra also pairs with the fifth, particularly in men. When a man's self-worth is inadequate, he lacks the "guts" to speak his mind. People who charge into a room or throw their weight around conversationally are showing third-fifth excess. Verbal battering is an extreme version of this. The fifth pairs, in turn, with the seventh (crown chakra). In fact, good functioning of the fifth is crucial to the opening of the seventh. It's the first step on the path to clarity: the capacity to see through your pretensions, ambitions, errors and miseries by means of regular self-examination. With clarity, you have the advantage of common sense, whether or not you happen to be talented in other ways. You don't waste your energy on mythical monsters in the closet of your own making. Unfortunately, the fifth can also be the center from which you spin worry, which is the opposite of clarity. Worry stems from deluded sense perceptions, fed by second-chakra insecurity. Most worries dissolve in the light of self-knowledge and self-acceptance, aided by the self-assurance that results from the day-to-day discipline of working toward these goals. When you find yourself worrying about someone else, look to see what aspect of yourself might be at the root of your anxiety. If you are agitated within, it's next to impossible to receive a precise reading of any message from your intuition or even the best psychic. Even straight, loud, talking can't get through to your conscious mind. The clarity of an open fifth chakra is what gives you an ear for inner wisdom and understanding. If you find, after reading the above, that you have fifth chakra issues, these are the essential oils that help open and raise the vibrations of the throat. Single oils include: Roman Chamomile, Tea Tree, Lemon, Lavender, Patchouli, Hyssop. Oil Blends include: Hope, Valor, Envision, and Believe. It is recommended you apply 2 drops of one of these oils, along with a carrier oil, to the throat area.

The concentration of essential oils is very high. Just a single drop is powerful enough to stop a cold, soothe a burn, or relieve an itchy bug bite. Many people assume that essential oils are harmless since they are obtained from plants, but this is not always true. If not used properly, essential oils have the potential to cause minor reactions, such as skin irritation, or even more serious consequences like respiratory failure. It is very important that you use the oils according to the instruction label on the bottle or through research on the Young Living Essential Oils website. The use of adulterated or expired essential oils may also have adverse effects. That’s why you should only purchase your essential oils from a trusted source like Young Living. Young Living oils do not expire because they are unadulterated. The company formulates essential oil-based wellness solutions that help to energize your life, empower you to dodge harmful chemicals, ditch negativity and stress, and reclaim your natural radiance by introducing higher vibrational frequencies when applied or ingested. The Safe Use of Essential Oils When used properly, essential oils are highly beneficial and quite safe. However, because the uses of essential oils are still relatively unknown, many people can and do hurt themselves by using them improperly. Safety and Toxicology
Though essential oils are not supposed to be used internally, there are two exceptions to this rule. The first exception is biocompatible levels of essential oil ingestion when taken as part of the diet. The second is when a licensed physician properly administers dosages of essential oil for medication purposes. This is now occurring in some European clinics. When someone ingests essential oils accidentally, do not give water if swallowing or breathing is difficult. Secondly, do not induce vomiting and immediately seek for help from medical experts, especially from Poison Control Center. Again, there are two exceptions to the rule that essential oils are not supposed to be applied directly to the skin but should always be diluted with carrier oil. The first exception is the careful use of mild essential oils that have a well documented history of safety such as lavender. However, even these mild essential oils can be problematic for some people. The second exception is the use of attars as natural perfumes. As a general rule, NEVER apply more than two drops of undiluted oil to the skin. It is also advisable that before you apply essential oils onto a large area of your skin, you can first test on a small area. Storage of essential oils The way that you look after your oils affects their shelf life. Essential oils generally have a shelf life of one to three years. Oxidized and old oils are known to cause reactions, especially rashes. Some essential oils such as patchouli oil, vetiver oil, and sandalwood oil get better with age. Some like citrus oils are most prone to degradation, and should be used within one year. Correct storage is most definitely the key to getting the most out of your oils. Both vegetable and essential oils do not like repeated changes in temperature or extreme temperatures. The basics Essential oils should be packaged in dark-colored glass. Dark amber has always been the color of choice in glass bottles until quite recently that dark shades of violet, green and blue have become more popular. The color doesn’t matter much, what matters is that you should never leave essential oils at a place where the sun will shine directly on them. Choose a cool, dark place to keep them safely away from heat and also from children. Cool them off Some essential oils such as citrus essential oils are prone to oxidation, so you could store them in the refrigerator to avoid the damage caused by temperature variations. Massage oils and carrier oils will also benefit by being stored in this way. However, do not have the refrigerator setting too cold. It should be remembered that essential oils do not like extreme temperatures, so a temperature balance of 50 to 80 degrees fahrenheit should be good.  By Lori Lines
Essential Oils are very potent, especially the high-end Therapeutic grade oils that you see in Young Living products. The first thing you need to know prior to exploring the use of these oils is to know that you should begin slowly. Why? Because not everyone is chemically created equally. For example, I have very sensitive skin and there are some oils that just do not resonate with me, personally. Always skin test an essential oil before using it. Each person's body is different, so you will want to apply oils to a small area first. It's important to apply only one oil or blend at a time. When layering oils that are new to you, allow enough time (3-5 minutes) for the body to respond before applying a second oil. If you suspect you are carrying residue from cosmetics, personal-care products, soaps, and cleansers containing synthetic chemicals, it is imperative that you use caution when applying these oils. Essential oils can work against such chemicals and toxins built up in the body from chemicals in food, water, and work environment. If you have this kind of experience using essential oils, it may be wise to reduce or stop using them for a few days and begin an internal cleansing or detoxification program before you resume regular use of these oils. It is also suggested you double your water intake during this time and keep flushing the toxins out of your body. There are also alternatives to a detox program to determine the cause of the problem according to Young Living Essential Oils:
Also, if you choose to drop a few drops of essential oils in your water or whatever you happen to be drinking, make sure you are not using a plastic or styrofoam cup. Most oils will eat away at the container when left sitting in them too long and you will have a mess on your hands. There are oils that Young Living produce that are considered "hot." These are Oregano, Cinnamon, Thyme, Eucalyptus, Mountain Savory, Lemon, and Orange essential oils or blends such as Thieves, PanAway, Relieve It, and Exodus II out of reach of children. These types of oils should ALWAYS be diluted for both children and adults. If there are children in the home, they will need to be taught how to use the oils so that they understand how to use them safely. If a child or infant swallows an essential oil, do the following:

The heart chakra is the gateway between the lower and higher chakras. It is centered near the xiphoid process, the piece of cartilage at the base of the breastbone. The bodily functions associated with the fourth chakra are the pumping of the heart and the act of breathing. Breathing comprises both the respiration of air and the circulation of essential life force energy - also known as prana, chi, or ruach (the Hebrew word translated biblically as "the Spirit of God." or simply "the Spirit). Your fourth chakra has to do with the quality and extent of your joys and sorrows and the compassion you feel for your fellow beings. When your heart chakra is open and of adequate size, you're able to laugh and cry, sometimes simultaneously. Deep laughter and deep crying are both expressions of compassion. The fourth also shapes your capacity to express and accept personal love, to demonstrate loving energy toward others and attract the same from them. With an open fourth, you appreciate life. You are able to experience oneness with the entirety of life, and you approach other people within the attitude that we're all equally fit for our individual purpose. You also have access to profound serenity, no matter what's going on outside yourself. Blockage or constriction of the heart chakra causes tension throughout the whole body. Breathing gets shallow, as do the emotions. Signs of fourth chakra trouble include a judgmental, know-it-all attitude, undependability, and a capacity for conditional love only. We draw in love energy through the upper middle back, between the fourth and sixth thoracic vertebrae. Having received this energy, we then mix it with our personal energy and radiate it, through the larger fourth-chakra opening in front, out to the world around us - plants, animals and human beings. Shoulder pains on the right side, in back, indicate difficulty with accepting love; on the left, difficulty with giving love, or an emotional separation that has inflicted a deep wound. If the shoulder trouble is to the front, the situation is reversed: left-side aches or injuries indicate difficulty with receiving, and the right-side problems denote difficulty with giving. Right-side problems may also point to a competitive nature that is being exercised incorrectly or excessively. The thymus gland, key to the body's immune system, reflects the openness or the closed-off manner with which we meet the world on a fourth chakra level. The thymus is pivotal in warding off cancer and in recovering from this disease. Denying yourself the treats and joys of life and being stingy with others are two kinds of behavior that cause intense damage to the fourth chakra. Heart ailments represent an imbalance of some sort between the fourth and the first, through which we draw in the bounty of the world. When we habitually hoard this bounty - be it emotional, spiritual, or material - instead of sharing it, we create a structure which inclines us to heart attacks, though what constitutes too much wealth is different for different people. The first and fourth chakras are paired for good or ill. The capacity to be generous without giving up all that you have reveals a successful pairing, a balance between the inflow of your first and the outflow of your fourth. We're meant to draw abundance through the root chakra and send it out through the heart chakra. The Universe is good to us, and so should that flow out from us to others. Not all heart ailments are brought on by a lack of generosity. Children can develop heart problems because of feeling unloved by their families. Children are psychically and emotionally corded to one or both parents until late adolescence or early adulthood. The connection ensures their survival. When the cord is damaged or prematurely severed, this can precipitate a degenerative condition in the physical heart as well as an unloving behavioral pattern. Once a negative fourth-chakra condition sets in, it nags at the person throughout life, arising again in each new stress situation which calls for a lot of heart-related energy. Lies and half-truths also injure the fourth chakra, and especially the lungs. This is so whether you tell the lie yourself or accept it without challenge from someone else. The less lying you involve yourself in, the more your forth opens, allowing you to be that much more truthful and compassionate. This is what I believe Jesus meant when he said, "the truth shall set you free." Asking for and providing the truth frees up the heart region and feels wonderful. You cherish yourself. You feel free to be a lover of all that is, especially with special people in your life. When the heart chakra is imbedded and untruth is lodged within it, we fear exposure and betrayal, this is the result of a false or pretentious self-image having ridden up from the first chakra, and it becomes very hard to generate feelings of love and intimacy. If you have a backlog of dishonesty, gradually relieve yourself of it by setting things straight with the people in your life. There really is no hiding. So, you have to be prepared to be open, at least to the extent of semi-conditional love. Semi-conditional love describes a relationship in which each of you goes on loving the other, though every so often one of you incurs the other's disapproval or displeasure. Meanwhile, the Universe tries to steer you toward unconditional love, which trusts in each person's ultimate enlightenment and knows that missteps and catastrophic detours are natural occurrences as one travels one's true path. Here are essential oils that may be helpful in supporting your Heart Chakra (4th) in bringing you the highest vibrational frequency to this area of your life. Single oils are: Rose, Geranium, Cedarwood, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang.. Oil Blends are: Acceptance, Humility, Joy. Apply to the chest area over the heart. Be sure to use a carrier oil as these oils are potent and could irritate sensitive skin.

By Lori Lines The third chakra is the formative center of your personal power as a member of a social group, as well as the center of your capacity for getting along with the various others in this group. Also called the solar plexus, the third chakra is focused two to three inches above your navel. When your third is well-developed and unimpeded, you have plenty of physical stamina and resilience, plenty of self-control and self-respect. In general, you're able to channel energy into doing what you want, when you want. You're also unafraid to meditate, and the practice of meditation comes to you easily. A negatively functioning third chakra produces indecisiveness and a sense of inadequacy, including the anxiety that people are out to take advantage of you. As compensation, you may become over-competitive, or you may suffer from possessive jealousy in regard to friends and lovers. Some people have a excess of third-chakra energy which they abuse by trying to control others. The liver, which holds anger, the gall bladder, which has to do with decision-making abilities, and the stomach, which relates to the digestion of experience, are the organs whose proper functioning depends upon a well-regulated thrid chakra. Gallstones manifest a chronic denial of one's own best interest in order to please or placate another. Stomach problems indicate an inability to assimilate new ideas and beliefs, based on the fear that personal change will entail a loss of power. A well-toned muscle structure is also an indicator of the third chakra's health, and so is the blood, in terms of balanced cellular composition. When one's power center is functioning properly, the output of the adrenals produces no "rush" or undue stress. With an open, active third chakra you enjoy self-respect. You value your own opinions without having to ram them down anyone else's throat. In social situations of your own choosing, you don't feel left out; you're able to participate fully without feeling impelled to kowtow or to dominate. As an outgrowth of this, you radiate respect for other people. We have inherited a mainstream of governmental tradition according to which a leader dictates the plan and the rest of the community follows suit. Nonetheless, excellence of leadership consists in somehow coordinating everyone's strengths, skills and ideas so that all benefit, materially and spiritually. The true leader is able to steer each person into activity that contributes to his or her inner growth as well as the social good, thus creating real satisfaction. And loyalty. Loyalty is a function of a healthy third chakra. Blind obedience signals its negative functioning. The same truth extends to your efforts at directing yourself. To win your own respect, you learn to manage and monitor your enthusiasms without being tricky or repressive. You get yourself into activities which exercise your talents and give you the pleasure of fulfillment. Meanwhile the strong points of others don't threaten you or make you jealous. In fact, you're able to observe those who have skills you wish to emulate and then start to practice them on your own. To work on your third chakra, begin by concentrating on your sense of self-worth. Self-worth gives rise to a sound and judicious use of personal power. The first, second, and third chakras are most often referred to as the lower chakras. They form the foundation of physical and emotional well-being - or the rickety underpinnings of illness, difficulty, and want. Since etiquette tells us to keep our lower bodies quite still, the vitality of our lower chakras and organs is apt to be inhibited, if not impaired. We're also likely to be ungrounded and easily upset. A good system of meditation promotes grounding. It serves to open and strengthen each chakra equally. You don't raise your awareness and achieve personal balance by neglecting or over-emphasizing any aspect of your being. In a balanced individual all seven major chakras are equal in size. People who concentrate exclusively on their higher development - who meditate for hours on their upper chakras and force themselves to eat ethereal diets when not fasting completely - are effectively discarding their God-given ability to keep their life together on a material plane. This is foolish and unnecessary. You might have an extraordinary talent with some single chakra. You might wish to focus on one or two chakras that need work. But remember, only when all your centers are open and functioning in unison will you be traveling your true life path. Here are essential oils that may be helpful in supporting your third Chakra (Solar Plexus). Single oils are: Juniper, Basil, Lavender, Bergamot, Geranium, Ginger and Lemongrass. Blended oils are: Harmony, Sacred Mountain, Acceptance and Release. Apply with a carrier oil between the navel and rib cage.

Did you know that most oils that are labeled as “100 percent pure” may not be pure after all? Most people think that when they buy oil that’s labeled this way, they are getting pure oil. What they don’t know is that companies are allowed to label their oil as “100 percent pure” as long as it contains at least 5 percent of the actual oil. What this means is that the bottle you get from apothecary shops or even from your health food store labeled “100 percent pure” means nothing! Beware, not all so called pure oils are pure. On these same bottles you’ll see a warning against topical application and/or oral ingestion. Such a warning is a clear indication that these oils are not pure. Most of the essential oils on the market are what is called “fourth and fifth quality”, “aroma therapy” or “perfume” oils. This includes oils found in aroma therapy and in health food shops. Today, it seems like companies are popping up all over place claiming to be manufacturing pure oils, but nothing could be further from the truth. The standards set for producing pure oils are very high for most companies to attain. Very few companies produce high quality essential oils. Producing pure oils in not an easy process - it begins right from the growing of the seed, through to harvesting, formulating, producing, and to packaging. Unless a company takes care in every single one of these steps there is absolutely no way that the company can claim to be producing pure oils. And any mishap in this process may lead to the production of adulterated oil. Mislabeled essential oils and adulterated essential oils may be dangerous to consumers. Most manufacturers do not indicate the true content of their product on the labels. That’s why most of the so-called “lavender” oil sold through online aromatherapy shops or in health food stores and in grocery stores turn out to be lavandin. Lavandin contains high levels of camphor (up to 18 percent) and will burn the skin. It is hybrid lavender that is chemically very different from lavandula angustifolia (pure lavender). True lavender contains virtually no camphor and has many benefits. Another example of adulterated oil is frankincense. The essential oil requires 12 hours to be steam distilled from the resin and is very expensive. But the frankincense resin that is sold in countries like Somalia costs between $30,000 and $35,000 per ton. Frankincense oil that is sold for $25.00 per ounce or less must have been distilled with alcohol or other solvents, which make their quality of the product questionable. As a rule, cheap oils have low prices. To maintain all of the beneficial qualities, frankincense oil must be extracted by steam distillation using low heat and extremely low pressure so as not to defile the quality of the oil. When these cut, adulterated and synthetic oils cause burns, rashes or other irritations, those using these oils may wonder why they don’t get the benefit they were expecting and conclude that these essential oils don’t have much value. Most manufacturers cut adulterated oils with synthetic chemicals rendering them harmful. At times they cause skin irritations, burning, rashes and more. This explains why the warnings against their oral ingestion or topical application are stated on the bottle. Other companies also use petrochemical solvents that are devoid of any beneficial effects and can cause allergic reactions. From 1967 to 1998, the demand for true lavender oil grew over 100 times while its production dropped from 87 tons to only 12 tons in France. So, to meet this huge demand, essential oil marketers use a combination of adulterated and synthetic oils. Most of the lavender oil sold in America is lavendin, which is grown and distilled in Tasmania, France, Russia or China. The oil production in these locations tests high in radioactive isotopes. The lavendin grown in these countries are brought to France where they cut it with synthetic linolyl acetate to improve the fragrance. They then add DOP, DEP, SD 40 or propylene glycol, which are solvents that increase the volume and have no smell, then sell it in the United States as lavender oil. Most people in America don’t know the difference and are happy to buy and sell in beauty salons, health food stores, department stores and grocery and through mail order. A wide variety of essential oils are safe to apply neat topically and administer orally without harm to the human organism. But that’s only true when an authentically pure essential oil is used. There are 4 grades or levels of essential oils: Pure, Natural, Complete, and Grade A or Genuine or "Therapeutic". Pure essential oils are those that have not been diluted with any lesser quality essential oil. But as has been stated earlier the word “pure” on the label does not necessarily mean that the oil has no additives. That why you need to know the vendors of pure oils so you can purchase from them armed with knowledge of their grades. Natural essential oils are those which have not been adulterated with SD Alcohol 40, propylene glycol, vegetable oils or other chemicals. Complete essential oils are those distilled at low pressure and low heat so that all the beneficial properties are maintained. They have not been purified or rectified (which means redistilled or stripped). Many companies often redistill essential oils to make a small amount of oil go farther. They make more profit that way but in the process end up with low quality products. Furthermore, when the oil is redistilled the beneficial properties are lost. It’s like using a tea bag over and over again. Grade A or Genuine essential oils are the best oils. They are the cream of the crop. Young Living Essential Oils takes great care in very step of producing these oils. They ensure that the soils used to plant the seeds are organic with no chemicals added. The seeds used are not hybrid and no chemicals are used on the plants in the field. The company distills by steam at low temperature and low pressure in upright containers and no chemicals are ever used in the process. The distillation process is also timed to ensure that the distillate is of the highest quality. They understand that distillation determines the value of the oil, and that distillation is an art and not just a job. Poor distillation process can destroy the value of the oil. They use only the best species of the plants. The operator of the distiller must have a full understanding of the value of oils in order to produce quality oils. If the temperature is too high or the pressure is too high, it may change the chemical composition of the fragrance molecule by altering its constituents’ chemistry. For example, distillation of lavender should not exceed 245 degrees of temperature, and should not exceed 3 pounds of pressure. The distillation process should take 2 hours. Distillers who are only interested in profits will distill lavender at very high temperature and very high pressure for only 15 minutes. That’s why it is emphasized that before you purchase any oil, try to find out about integrity of the company and vendors. © Lori Lines, All Rights Reserved.  By Lori Lines
As the collective becomes more sensitive to the energies around them, we become more susceptible to Energy Vampires. What is an Energy Vampire? An energy vampire refers to a person or soul who boosts his/her own energy by taking energy, vitality, or life-force from another by means of an argument, belittlement, criticism, one-sided conversation, or just by being in proximity to another. It refers to another who’s influence leaves a person feeling exhausted, "fuzzy," unfocused and depressed. Most energy vampires are normal, well-meaning people who’s unconscious target is your spiritual body and not necessarily your physical body (although, one can be a psychic parasite when engaged in sex with another.) And, they do this in order to help “recharge” their own system. Most of the time, energy vampires are unhappy, within themselves, and they do their damage through telepathic draining of another’s energy resources. Depending on how empathic the “victim” is, just separating from the energy vampire for a bit is enough to result in immediate positive changes in the victim's life force energy. If you remain very aware, you can feel and observe this process at work especially when you go to a public gathering. The more people you encounter at these gatherings, the more you will feel and observe energy parasites in action. It can happen anywhere...at a conference, a family gathering during holidays, a local movie theater, the local shopping mall.... You can also experience Energy Vampirism just being with a friend, one-on-one. Through my experience and research, I have found that everyone can be and has been an energy vampire - especially at times where crisis or dark times prevailed. I have found there are 6 categories of energy vampires. The Energetic Entity Vampire These are those “unseen” paranormal types of, what I call, “energy suckers.” They may have passed over into the non-physical realm and their last experience was that of terror. They can be ghosts or dark energies that jump from person to person and suck the life force energy from them. They are attracted to the light within the person and endeavor to revitalize their existence through leaching off of those who are more positive types of personalities. Spiritual/Ethereal People (Who are Not Grounded) Vampires I see this all the time in our spiritual community. Most often these troubled souls have been tortured to death in previous lives for their spiritual beliefs or practices. Their only escape was to leave the body, so out-of-body experiences are the norm with them today. These individuals do not want much contact with others because they do not trust. They were afraid to incarnate in their present body, and show this fear by being unwilling to commit their consciousness completely into their physical body. Leaving their physical body often, throughout the day, is the most common method that ethereal types use to deal with problems. They have weak boundaries and spend as much time as possible in the spiritual realms because this is where they feel safe. Since all time is simultaneous on other planes, these people find it difficult to relate to linear time. The result of these inclinations is both withdrawal and aggression. They become aggressive and angry when forced to function on the earth plane. Their psychic attack is rarely premeditated, but it’s important to be aware of them nonetheless. The Insecure Vampires These types have deep fears of abandonment. Perhaps in previous lives, they found themselves without enough nurturing from family or perhaps they didn’t have enough food, shelter, comfort, or love. These fears and beliefs carry over into this lifetime and create their experiences and fear it will happen again and again. Insecure people feel they are always giving to others and therefore, feel their energy is being sucked dry by those people. So, they seek others to fill their time and to suck energy from them in order to compensate for their lack of energy. They are also very compulsive people who are susceptible to addictions of all kinds. These people unconsciously recreate life situations proving they are not worthy of attention, ensuring their energy needs and their nurturing requirements will never be satisfied. To solve this dilemma, they continue seeking out those they can drain and it becomes a vicious cycle. Many times an insecure type will come across as helpless or constantly asking questions insisting you give them all the answers giving a nurturing type person the feeling they have to take care of their every need. Insecure people live in constant fear of rejection and abandonment. So, they recreate this when the nurturing person, in their lives, needs a break from them. When the nurturer needs a break and takes steps to care for themselves, the insecure person becomes overtly angry and critical of them and sometimes, their actions can become abusive. In a nutshell, they pull others down to their level of self-esteem. The Passive-aggressive Vampires This type of energy vampire is fearful of invasion, being overtaken, and being controlled. Perhaps in previous lifetimes they were unable to express themselves freely. They desire freedom but their fear keeps their consciousness from claiming it. They harbor anger and resentment because of this and they lack any solutions to this problem. Passive-aggressive types lack autonomy. They strive to pull other people into their lives and have them very involved. Authentic and creative self-expression is unknown to them. They create a world, within themselves, that is unclear and undefined and fear is at the core to rooting themselves in any substantial stance. They imprison themselves by projecting desperation, loneliness and resentment toward others with whom they come in contact. They have trouble expressing anger in any productive and direct communicative way. The way in which they suck energy is when they constantly ask for advice and find every reason in the world to reject whatever is offered to them. They continuously engage the other in their lives, asking for help and advice, and while doing so, they reject any real solutions. The Zombie-like Vampires I also see this in the spiritual community a lot. These are people who inauthentically hold themselves above everything and everyone without doing the conscious work it takes to root themselves in reality. They have usually read a lot of books and they put a lot of emphasis on “certifications” and formal education. They adopt the experiences of others, identify themselves with those who occupy a certain status while they deny their true selves. Perhaps in other lives as well as in this life, they’ve had to keep up appearances of perfection in order to survive. Many times you can see these types in charge of running the show. They project that their outer world is perfect yet their inner world is completely denied. Their focus is on the outer rather than the inner. Because of this they have no core essence. They live in fear that the world will pass them by and they feel they are missing something. They work hard at becoming more perfect because their world is meaningless if others do not envy their lifestyles. People go to them with their problems and they rarely obtain much satisfaction from their own lives. They appear to be on auto-pilot and there’s often an air of arrogance to them as they remain aloof, removed from real and compassionate conversation. Often, they suck energy from those who are looking for validation, engagement, and love by never quite being able to provide the satisfying attention and compassion to the other person. The Overly Suspicious Vampire These vampires are most afraid of betrayal. Through their experiences in past lives and in their current one, they may have learned there are enemies in their world who desire to take from them or to hurt them in some way. A lot of times you’ll see military-types who are trying to win a war that does not exist against an enemy that is long gone. They trust no one and life is their battleground. Fear is ingrained in them and it is projected into every part of their lives. They can be perceived as bullies who stomp on the weak in order to elevate their egos. Many times they are especially fearful of the opposite sex. Aggression is the most common response from this type. They pick arguments and yet they are very seductive. They rarely have long-term relationships. This person expects to be betrayed and therefore will insist on setting up others for this betrayal. They may initiate a betrayal as a preemptory strike. To them, the act of losing is to admit they are bad. To lose is intolerable so they must win at any cost. They are usually judgmental, very hard workers, strong in physique, and obsessive-compulsive. The overly suspicious vampire will insist you agree with their often-distorted view of the world and they usually want you to argue with them. This way, they can win at the argument to prove they are good and you are bad...creating an energetic separation that keeps them from true intimacy. This is how they become energy vampires.

The sacral center, also known as the second chakra, is located about 2 inches below your navel and is the focus of your earliest and most fundamental emotions. Your basic sense of acceptance or rejection, worthiness or unworthiness; your sense of belonging to a group or family or of being alone in the world; your ease or trouble in connecting with your Higher Power; all of these relate to how well your second chakra is working. Furthermore, through the spleen, the second chakra acts as a pumping mechanism for the physical energy the first chakra pulls in from the root, and for the emotional energy to which it has access. This Chakra is associated with the Adrenals and controls all solid parts - the spinal column, bones, teeth, nails; also controls blood and building of the cells, kidneys, and the bladder. A healthy second chakra is a sign of emotional integrity and security, healthy sexuality and creativity. We are optimistic, friendly, courageous, and sensitive to others' needs. We feel that we belong, and yet we are not afraid of being taken over when we merge with someone else. If you have a difficult, unsatisfactory social life and have difficulty getting in touch with your own true feelings; if you're distressingly over-sensitive, or chronically bad-tempered and resentful, or prone to burying your emotions for months and then erupting with them; if you're often laid low by parental or religious guilt ("Watchdogs" of morality, low on love because of a contracted second chakra, jump on other people who are exploring and enjoying the variety of life. Their efforts feed right in to the guilt of dysfunction), or immobilized by fears of injury, disapproval, isolation or spirit possession, it is the second chakra that needs attention. An out-of-balance second sets off power-mongering in the third chakra and survival fears in the first chakra. Its health is therefore pivotal in the physical realm. The kidneys, which absorb and detoxify fear, and the spleen, which contains and processes worry, are both indicators of the second chakra's condition. So is the skin. Skin should be elastic -not puffy, or dry and scaly. In the same way, the boundaries of your emotional life should be resilient, neither bloated nor cracked and shrunken, so that you can make the changes required of you from day to day and year to year. When the second chakra is fully functioning and discriminating, clairsentience (becoming one with another person) provides information that is presently useful and also prophetic. We need to recognize and respect the emotions that move through the second chakra. It is also essential that we distinguish between our own feelings and those we pick up from others - repeatedly through close association, or haphazardly on the street or in a store. For those who are aware of becoming more sensitive to the energies around you, be extra perceptive at parties, meetings, and mass gatherings. When necessary, be extra protective, so that you do not get drawn into an atmosphere of fear, depression, hysteria or violence. *I need to note here that there is very little danger in picking up positive vibrations, feelings which elevate you. At the same time, if you have the gift of clairsentience, you must learn good grounding to compensate for explorations into the consciousness of other people and other beings. Failure to deal with the entire range of emotional demands and to support their integrity invites paranoia and high blood pressure. Pancreatic ailments also reflect an undernourished second chakra. diabetes begins as fear of emotional neglect, escalating into fear of total abandonment, and may be handed on from parent to child when their energy fields intermingle. At the opposite end of the emotional spectrum from fear is trust. Although trust relates to our dealings with others, it originates within ourselves as a sense of security and personal validity. I always say to my clients, "Don't worry about being able to trust others. Learn first to trust yourself: the desires that are heartfelt, the thoughts and actions that fulfill you, the responses that are emotionally satisfying." If the issues described above are plaguing you, here are essential oils that may be helpful in supporting your second chakra: Single oils: Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage, Rose, Rosemary, Patchouli, and Jasmine. Oil blends: Peace and Calming, Inner Child, Harmony, Forgiveness. Apply any or several of these oils (use your intuition as to which you are most drawn and apply slightly below the navel). Be sure to use essential oils along with a carrier oil before applying to each chakra point.

Chakras are rotating, cone shaped rays of energy, most of them centered along the body's vertical axis. Though non-material, they can be felt either pulsing and pumping, or knotting and aching. They govern the physical functioning of your body, which is itself a configuration of swirling bits of highly energized matter. You mold and re-mold this matter into your self-image, based on your belief system of how you ought to appear. You create your own image, combining your self-perceptions with the information that other people feed you about yourself. Your chakras affect this process and are affected by it. There are seven principle chakras (also called energy centers) focused at least partly within the physical body. In addition, there are important chakras in the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. The chakra system is so complex that I am unable to cover the entire subject of chakras but this article is intended to educate on their meanings and, in subsequent posts, I will cover more. The first chakra, also referred to as the root chakra or kundalini center, is the only major chakra whose larger opening is to the rear, just below the tailbone and above the anus. There is a smaller opening in front, at the base of the pubic bone. This chakra has to do with the ability to survive, your capacity to have and hold, and your power to attract the abundance of the material realm into your life. When it's functioning properly you feel well, have great vitality, are comfortably grounded in your body, and are affectionate with the people close to you. If your physical self is chronically beset with aches and pains, if you don't get enough to eat, if your bills keep mounting with no way to pay them, if you're over-impulsive or always a little bit off center, if you are liable to fits of cruelty or self-centered lust, if you experience anxiety, fears, or nightmares, then you're suffering from typical problems that originate with (and reflect upon) an impeded first chakra. Other first chakra imbalances can include problems with the colon, with the bladder, with elimination, or with lower back, leg or feet issues. In men, prostate problems may occur. In women, issues surrounding reproductive organs can arise. Eating disorders may also be a sign of a root chakra imbalance. Even if you have an external or impersonal affliction such as an excessive bill that comes to you as a surprise can be an indication that your first chakra is impeded or has been somehow obstructed. When your first Chakra is open, even if you have, for example, a high bill to pay, you will receive some kind of windfall or a timely pay raise or bonus that will balance out the added burden. Materialistic greed represents a first chakra that takes everything in but shares nothing and lets nothing go. Addiction to wealth coordinates with material envy which is a reflection of the darkest values of our culture. Someone with a balanced first chakra is materially confident and therefore, generous. Although the first chakra has to do with survival, it also interrelates with your self-image or with the image that you consistently fail to live up to. Family scripts, traditional life attitudes, and other deep-seated beliefs and cues are implanted in our consciousness by way of the first chakra. Also, any dogma is an attack on the first chakra. Dogmatic preachers, parents and presiding authorities can get to your first chakra and send it wobbling and out of balance. This can even lead you toward surrendering your own self-governance. Some of the ways you can help feel more balanced in your first chakra is to use Essential Oils on your own before you go see an energetic healer. I recommend doing whatever you can to self-heal first before employing an energetic healer. To help support and balance your first chakra, I recommend you use either of these single oils: Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Ginger or Cypress. Oil Blends would include any of the following: Valor, Grounding, and Abundance. For Root Chakra purposes, I recommend you apply one drop of any of these oils to the bottom of your feet and on your spine twice a day. It is recommended you use your essential oils topically with a carrier oil in case your skin is sensitive.
