may 24...Balancing your four chakra

Your fourth chakra (the heart) can be a problem area for many of us as it deals with such aspects as feelings of love, empathy, and compassion.  It is where you feel your emotions.  It is represented in the body by the heart and lungs. When you use this technique, concentrate your energy in those areas. 

Need:
green candle
piece of rose quartz

Begin by holding the stone in your power hand.  Imagine the stone being completely cleared of all unwanted energy as you breath in and then pulse your breath out your nose.  After clearing the stone, charge it by imagining something or someone you associate with love, and use your breath to pulse the image into the stone.

Light the candle, dedicating it to your power animal.  Put the rose quartz in your power hand, and hold it on your heart chakra, right over your heart.  Feel the stone energizing the entire area and filling it with a bright rose-colored light.  Breath the color rose into the area, and breath out any unwanted energies.  Starting at your fourth chakra, the rose colored light moves outward throughout your body, until you feel yourself floating on a cloud of ecstatic happiness and pure joy.  Once you feel yourself filled with feelings of love and joy, say:

Spirit of Love

I feel your blessings,

Fill me with compassion and empathy,

For myself and others around me.

Now, imagine that loving and healing energy continuing to fill your heart and lungs.  As the candle burns down, go through all the people in your life, and let go of any ill feelings you have toward them.  Forgive them by simply saying:

I forgive (name of person).

Replace your negative feelings with feelings of empathy and compassion.  Then bless and send love to the people in your life that are important to your  Continue to do this for several minutes.
