To all my teachers who blazed a path so bright I had no choice but to stand in the light. Mary Magdalene and Kali Ma (possibly my greatest teachers)you always arrive with perfect timing. To Thothwithout you, this book wouldnt have happened. And finally, to the Andromedans, Mantis, and Pleiadians, thank you for helping this material find a voice through you.
Contents
AS A REIKI MASTER TEACHER, sound healer, and meditation instructor, I have had thousands of patients and students come to me over the years to receive advice, treatments, and coaching on their own energy systems. I have given a countless number of chakra readings at the educational trainings, retreats, and workshops I host. I let people know where they are holding energy and how they can work to correct their imbalances. I have the benefit and privilege of seeing the collective commonalities that tie us all together with a golden thread, weaving the story of our energy bodies as individuals and as part of the greater whole. I have seen the stories changing and evolving, and now I invite you, starshine, to embrace your personal ascension journey so that you may discover the truth for yourself of who and what you really are.
While my previous books, Chakra Balance and Essential Chakra Meditation, have had their own successes, this more advanced, complete volume has been gestating in the background for some time. Im excited to present an updated look at the traditional chakra systema more comprehensive view that focuses on the ascension journey in this template of New Earth, our current paradigm. The first three chakras primarily address earthly concerns like safety, sexuality, and power. As you climb the ascension ladder, these worldly preoccupations lighten, and youll begin to uncover new layers of consciousness that will be integrated through massive collective shifts, such as the one we are in right now: the Age of Aquarius, ushering in the rise of the Divine Feminine.
Here we will begin to peel back the layers of this eternal story so that you can get a clear picture of how the chakras influence your bodys energy systems and how you can work with them on a deeper level to achieve ultimate healing and balance. We will touch on how the chakras are historically viewed, what it means when you experience blockages or stagnancy, and different techniques you can work into your life to help clear and manage these precious energy sites. We will peer into each chakra in depth, examining its location on or outside the body, its governing principles and functions, as well as the planets, deities, archetypes, and personalities associated with each.
There are moments when it seems the Universe gives you a glimpse behind the scenes. The legged, winged, and scaled creatures of the land show themselves as they move about, circling, slithering, and slinking. The song of the cool wind whips through the trees, and the plants echo waves of agreement on the swaying breeze. The sound of water streaming nearby soothes the soul, as the benevolent cosmic dance reveals a night skya sky in which your royal legacy is written in clear, shining lights. It is the same canopy that your ancestors gazed upon, and it is embedded deep in the helixes of your DNA.
This moment whispers that you are a spark of pure consciousness, participating in physicality. You instantly feel your connection to all that is and all that ever was. You are but a breath away from the infinite, yet this ancient truth is also contained within every single cell that makes up your being. This now moment is a merging of light particles, transmitting your Divine blueprint into the embodiment of all your expressions. And through this union of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, your experiences will be a reflection of what is possible. Your life will be a contribution to all humanity, as you inspire others to live less in fear and more in love with each step.
Like the twinkling stars in the sky scattered into clusters, your chakras are pure light and energy points that create a map on, above, and below your body. Together, your 12 chakras form a rainbow constellation that corresponds with regions on and around your physical body and acts as a celestial bridge as it flows from above your crown and spirals up into the cosmos. This book is an invitation to lean in and take an intimate look at how these energy portals guide all aspects of your life. From how you engage with the world to how the Universe is managed and contained within you, your chakras hold the key to your health and vital well-being. The seven main traditional chakras are the foundational elements of life itself. Your complete chakra system houses 12 energetic vortexes with a great number of smaller energy inlays (for example, your meridian system and nadis).
