Comments:
|
A transitional Chakra, this Chakra is
the "bridge" between our physical humanity and
our spirit/divinity.
If you were traumatized between the ages of 12-16, 42-46
or 72-76, you may have an unbalanced Fourth Chakra.
The Fourth Chakra is about love and empathy, about acceptance
and grief, about bonding and respect for others. It's
about allowing freedom to those we love and understanding
that we, too, require freedom to develop as human beings.
Lower Chakra imbalances, which translate to feelings of
insecurity and a need to be validated--combined with a Heart
Chakra imbalance, may lead a person to stay in an abusive
relationship. The "love" they profess to feel
is really a deep and desperate need for acceptance.
They're unable to see they have choices and that the conditions
of their life are due to their own choices. It's
about feeling secure enough to realize they don't need another's
approval, it's about taking back their power and asserting
themselves to obtain the sort of life they desire.
A Fourth Chakra imbalance may manifest as someone who criticizes
everyone around them. They may be impossible to please,
be passive aggressive and judgmental. Love is so frightening,
they must control every aspect of their love's life--for
they have a deep fear of losing it. They may have trouble
giving the needed freedom and respect to others, and therefore
bring about what they so dread--loss of love.
Physical symptoms of an imbalanced Fourth Chakra may include
frequent respiratory ailments and /or problems with the
heart, blood, circulatory system and lungs.

Therapy:
|
Chakra Therapy might include laying the
proper gemstone upon the Fourth Chakra for 5-25 minutes.
You may find surrounding yourself with the Scents of the
Fourth Chakra helpful. Visualize a Green or Pink Vortex
of light in the shape of a flower emanating from your chest.
If you've been hurt in love, visualize the person and imagine
ribbons or tendrils connecting you to that person coming
from the chest area. Now gently, let the person go, release
the tendrils and visualize healing energy to the places
in your heart where the tendrils were. Ask for healing and
the ability to release the person from your life so that
you both may continue on positive paths. Ask that the light
release old pains and hurts and fill the place where the
hurts were with love for yourself and love for others. Let
it expand, growing in power. Then close the petals and keep
the power inside to be drawn upon as needed.

for I know it allows us both to grow!"
