PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER…

YES!  We have now completed our series on the Seven Major Chakras…  We also have some exciting activities to do to connect them –one to another.  If we are able to keep our Chakras even and connected, we ourselves walk in balance.
But first, let’s jog our memory.

 

Summing up the Chakra Experience
Star Chakras

7th chakra

Number Seven:  CROWN CHAKRA  Our Spiritual Connector.
Mantra:  “I KNOW.
  I merge with the Unity of All Life.  I act in alignment with my Higher Spiritual Nature.”
Sacred Truth: To LIVE IN THE PRESENT moment, release fears of the physical world and seek a connection with the Divine.  To seek personal spiritual development

6th chakra
Number Six: THIRD EYE CHAKRA Intuition: The Perception Center that Leads to Wisdom and Clear Vision and Integrating Intelligence with Intuition.
Mantra
: “I SEE.  I now release my early life and past experiences which do not serve my highest good.”
Sacred Truth: Seek only the truth. SEPARATE TRUTH FROM ILLUSION.  Have the ability to detach from subjective perception by being detached.  Detachment means stilling one’s fear-driven voices. If you still your mind, you have clarity.  Clarity of mind leads to wisdom and truth.

5th chakra
Number Five: THROAT CHAKRA Communication.   Being Impeccable With Our Words.  
Mantra
:  “I SPEAK.  I now say what needs to be said.  I value and express by creativity.  My purpose is to serve others with my unique gift.”
Sacred Truth
: BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD. We can listen to others and to ourselves. We are heard. We know when to speak and when not to speak. What we say has an uncontested impact.
4th Chakra
Number Four:  HEART CHAKRA Our Heart Center-- Love in its Purest form--Unconditional Love.  Mantra: "I LOVE. I accept myself fully as I am. "
Sacred Truth:
The path towards SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS IS THROUGH THE HEART. This sacred truth is not negotiable, no matter what spiritual tradition one chooses.
3rd Chakra
Number Three:  POWER CHAKRA Associated with personal power, self-esteem and vitality. The seat of intuition and gut-level feelings.
 
Mantra: “I CAN. I own my own strength and power. I appreciate all my wonderful qualities that make me unique.”
Sacred Truth:  HONOR ONESELF. The spiritual goal of this chakra is to help us mature in our self-understanding, the relationship we have with ourselves. Our identity becomes separate from our elders. In doing this, we gain self-respect and self-esteem.

2nd chakra

Number Two: THE CREATIVE CHAKRA  How we deal with relationships, sexuality, money.  
Mantra:  “I FEEL. I assimilate right and understanding through my feelings and senses.  I welcome change and freely let go of what I don’t need. I trust the universe to supply my abundance and prosperity.”
Sacred Truth
: To HONOR ONE ANOTHER   As we step out from the tribal community of the first chakra we learn to be interdependent. To stand tall as one with another one!
First Chakra
Number One:  THE ROOT CHAKRA. Sense of Security, Foundation of Emotional and Mental Health Mantra:  “I HAVE.  I honor the natural physical vitality of my body and take care of it wisely.  I AM, and the world welcomes me.  I live courageously, taking action to express my being.” 
Sacred Truth:
ALL IS ONE- We are all connected to all of life and every choice we make and every belief we hold exerts influence upon the whole of life. We are all part of one spiritual community.
