Chakras
– Your Energetic Being

The body contains seven energy centers, known as chakras. Together, these energy centers — data banks, as I like to call them — are an archetypal depiction of your individual maturation through seven distinct stages.

Chakra 1

The first chakra is the foundation of emotional and mental health. Your connection to traditional familial beliefs supports the formation of identity and a sense of belonging to a group.

You are connected to all of life. Every choice you make and every belief you hold exerts influence upon the whole of life.

Self-Examination

1. What belief patters did you inherit from your family?
2. Do all of them still have authority over you?
3. What superstitions do you have? Which have more authority over you than your own reasoning ability?

Chakra 2

The second chakra is your center of personal power, creativity, sexuality, and finances. Issues of physical survival, control, and one-on-one relationships are at the core of this energy center.

3. Are you comfortable with your sexuality? If not, are you working toward healing your sexual imbalances? Do you use people for sexual pleasure, or have you felt used? Do you honor your own sexual boundaries?

Chakra 3

The third chakra furthers the development of self esteem and personality, separate from your tribal identity. This is where you learn to draw and maintain strong boundaries and a personal code of honor.

3. Are you critical of others? Do you blame others as a way of protecting yourself?
