Our chakras, or energy centers, are spinning wheels of light that act as energy transformers through which we receive and transmit life force energy – spiritual, emotional, mental and physical. When the chakras are open (too receptive) or closed (too non-receptive), an energetic imbalance and even physical pain may develop since each of the seven main chakras is associated with emotions and physical organs. Maintaining a healthy and balanced chakra system is essential. Allow yourself the opportunity to tune in to what your physical body and energetic centers are conveying to you. In addition to clearing and balancing your chakras, it is important and beneficial to strengthen them as well through intention and visualization involving color.

Many of you have had confusion about the releasing process. How exactly do I release things, you wonder. How do I know I’ve done it right?

The beauty of the glorious dance with the universe that you are now participating in is that everything you could possibly need is, as always, in place for you. There is no need for you to know exactly what it is you are releasing. As you participate in each energetic shift, things naturally dismantle as they are ready to leave.

You might think of it as a scab that has formed over a wound. When exactly is the scab ready to fall off? You understand when enough healing has happened underneath, it will naturally occur. You don’t need to know how or when, you can just trust that it will happen when the time is right.

Just as the body knows how to heal physically, it also knows exactly how to heal emotionally, spiritually and energetically. Honour your body in its innate intelligence. Listen to what it needs because it will always tell you. Allow it to take the lead with its expertise in this area.

A very helpful tip to help you understand this process is to remind you that you are never going it alone. The idea of release can be confusing to you if you feel unsure of the steps. What if you exchanged the idea of release for surrender? If you feel old energy is attempting to leave, surrender it! Surrender it to your highest self, to your guides and helpers, to Source, to the universe itself, secure in the fact that it knows exactly what to do with it.

Your long-term and short-term purposes are for expansion. Think big. Expand your horizons. Expand your horizons, and you expand your consciousness. See bigger, and you think bigger. There is nothing you have to hold onto for dear life. The fact is that you have to let go for dear life.

When you hold on tight, your arms are closed.

When you let go, your arms are open.

Of course, now We speak of heart and mind being wide open. If you can open your mouth wide when you are at the dentist, what would keep you from opening your heart and mind wide when you are with Me? And, of course, you are always with Me.

Closed thinking compresses you. Open thinking expresses you.

Whether you physically travel or not, your heart and mind are destined to be on the move. Your eyes do not look in one place. Your eyes try to catch everything in sight. Your eyes work with your mind and heart. Your eyes are like gatherers. Your heart and mind are hunters and gatherers, always on the hunt for new fields of exploration. Whatever you have discovered, there is more for you to discover. Even if you stay in the same house, the same job, the same everything, you are exploring further afield. How else can you grow and learn unless you expand your horizons? There is always further and greater to expand to.

At heart, you are not a settler. Your heart and mind are avid pioneers. They have a great appetite. Go out and get them some good food, something they have never tasted before or never tasted in exactly the same way.
