It’s important to be
“living” in all of your chakras. Each one relates to a different area of your
life, so if you want to have a well-rounded life where you feel happy not just
in work, but in play, in love, in family-life, in spirit and more, then you need
to boost and balance ALL of your chakras.
Here are the basic
life areas that relate to each chakra:
Root Chakra: Work, Money, Home, Safety &
Security, Survival, Tribe/Family, Overall Health & Vitality, Foundation,
Organization, Simplification, Masculine Sexuality (drive to possess and
procreate)
Sacral Chakra: Play, Sensuality, Creativity, Emotions,
Ease, Joy, Flow, Fertility, Feminine Sexuality (feminine desire for intimacy
and connection)
Solar Plexus Chakra: Personal Power, Confidence, Motivation,
Action-Taking Ability, Personal Identity, Mental Clarity, Decision Making
Heart Chakra: Love, Compassion, Empathy, Kindness,
Forgiveness, Gratitude, Healing
Throat Chakra: Personal Expression & Truth, Honesty
(literal), Life Purpose, Inspiring Leadership
Brow Chakra: Intuition, Psychic Abilities,
Imagination, Visualization, Appreciation for Beauty (inner & outer)
Crown Chakra: Consciousness, Awareness, Connection to
Spirit (All That Is)
Every area of your
life relates to one of these chakras, because your chakras are the blueprint
for your entire life.
So, if you want to
improve a particular area of your life, you can work on it from its energetic
base by doing chakra boosting and balancing in that particular chakra. It makes
sense, doesn’t it? You don’t pull a weed out by cutting off it’stop, but rather
by pulling it out from down deep at its roots. If you want to make a lasting
change in your life, you have to start at the energetic root of the issue as
well – and that root is in your energetic field, in your chakras.
Want to be more
financially sound? Do root chakra work. Want to be more creative? Play in your
sacral chakra. Want to stop procrastinating so much and move ahead? Focus on
your solar plexus chakra, and so on.
Over the last few
decades, more and more people have started doing affirmations to help them
boost different areas of their psyche and life.
If they want more
money, they just repeat a mantra like: “I am rich” or “I am abundant.” If it’s
more personal power they want, they may say, “I am powerful.”
Now, this truly works
for many people, especially for people who don’t have a lot of shadow (strong
aspects of self that still lie beneath the conscious mind) or a lot of
self-doubt.
I have found though,
as a life coach that for many people – especially those with a lot of
unexplored shadow and/or a “loud” subconscious voice – doing affirmations is
actually counterproductive.
Yes,
counterproductive. This means, not only are they not helpful, but they may
actually cause regression in the area where you’re using them.
Here’s Why.
Every time someone
doubtful says ONE affirmation, like “I am rich,” their subconscious mind
negates it a dozen times with statements like, “No you’re not,” “Who are you
kidding,” “Ha, you can’t even pay your rent on time!” and similar put downs.
This is a problem. Not
just because every single affirmation triggers multiple negations, but also
because the subconscious mind is actually more powerful than the conscious mind.
It is.
This is a daunting
thing for most of us to hear in this age of awareness, especially for those of
us who are really working to be more conscious. But the truth is, most
estimates approximate that your subconscious mind is in control of about 85% of
your life’s decisions, while your conscious mind is responsible for only about
15%. Even if that estimate is an exaggeration, your subconscious mind is
definitely still running the show (humbling, I know).
You can experience
this first hand if you simply listen in really closely to your own inner
dialogue. Say an affirmation that you find hard to believe, and then listen
closely for any inner back talk.
Now, please don’t
lament if you find that you’re one of the ones that can’t use affirmations
effectively, because I have a much more powerful alternative you can use. It
has all the positivity of affirmations, without any of the subconscious
negation. AND it also engages the subconscious mind; inviting it to be creative
and pro-active.
Here’s the simple
solution: turn your affirmations into (why) questions.
I used to call these
affirmative questions “Empowering Questions, “ but then I found that someone
actually owned that term (I know, hard to believe), so I renamed this tool
“Transformational Power Questions” or TPQs.
Here are the four
simple steps for creating powerful TPQs:
1. Think of something
you want to change (ie, be more patient)
2. Write an affirmation: I am patient.
3. Turn it into a Why question: Why am I so patient?
4. Make it progressive: Why am I becoming more and more patient?
2. Write an affirmation: I am patient.
3. Turn it into a Why question: Why am I so patient?
4. Make it progressive: Why am I becoming more and more patient?
That’s all there is
too it.
Now, ask that TPQ
several times throughout the day – especially when you wake up and before you
go to bed.
Your subconscious mind
will soon start offering up answers to your TPQs. It doesn’t need to in order
to work, but I find with my clients, that is naturally does.
For instance, you may
ask yourself, “Why am I becoming more and more patient?” And get answers like:
Because it matters to
me
Because I’m more calm
Because I’m choosing to be
Because I’m compassionate
Because I’m more calm
Because I’m choosing to be
Because I’m compassionate
And so on.
The video above offers
you several TPQs that will boost and balance your first chakra – and improve
areas of your life such as finances, health, organization and security.
Pick one or two that
resonate with you and ask them repeatedly this week, and then next week, we’ll
boost and balance your second chakra.
And of course, this
week as you practice your first chakra TPQs, you may also want to wear my lovely first chakra healing tattoos (feel
