Healing from the Root to the Crown for 2020

We know a llot of things. We know what the seven main chakras are: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown and we know what the functions of these chakras in our energy body.

Let us start this conversation by agreeing on a few points, well even if we do not agree, we can have a common understanding for the purpose of this article.

We agree that we are comprised of energy and that every cell in our body radiate energy.
We agree that there are different channels found in specific points of that body, called chakras, through which energy flows in and out in a constant stream.
We agree that these chakra points are not physical but are aspects of consciousness and interact with the physical and energy body through our endocrine and nervous systems with each chakra linked to one of our endocrine glands and a particular group of nerves so assigning them importance in healing.

Dr. Laura Berman, in an article found on the website Consciouslifestylemag.com spoke about ‘Balancing your energy body: a complete guide to chakra healing’. She did an excellent job of explaining something that for some may be a bit esoteric but nevertheless quite real.
Our chakra centers, like the stomata cells in plant leaves, open and close as a defense and protective mechanism. Whenever we feel tense or anxious about something, we feel the chakra associated with that part of the body experiencing the stress, and then like a well-timed automatic system, we feel it in our physical and energy body. So imagine years of pain and trauma that cause the tensions throughout our physical and energy bodies!

The traumatic experience of childhood, whether it stemmed from the belief that we were never quite loved and cared for or for some of us, the scars from years of physical, emotional or sexual abuse; the unrequited love affairs that we never healed from; the societal pressures on women dissuading us from exploring our sexuality; the feelings of insecurity, co-dependence and fear of rejection and abandonment; the being told to sit down and shut up; the list goes on and on.

For some of us, if we were able to take a scan of the energy body, we will find blockages from the root to the crown manifesting in emotional and physical pain. For me, I recognize the familiar tension in my shoulder and chest whenever I am put in a situation where my heart is affected negatively. For others, it may be elsewhere about the body.

My suggestion is that we use this quarantine as a period for great energy healing. May we use the simple tool that meditation provides to begin the process of clearing out those blockages, starting at the root and ending at the crown. Believe me when I say you will feel the difference. You will feel the energy shifts that culminate in a palpable release that lets you know the healing process was successful. It sometimes takes many sessions and even when we feel the healing was completed, later we realize it was not because the familiar fear and tension returns, perhaps less intense but it returns nevertheless to be healed anew.

Since we have the time, let’s use it wisely and from the root to the crown, heal for 2020.
