The human body is a magnificent system of interconnected parts, and at its core lies an energy system that governs our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These energy centers, known as chakras, play a critical role in our health and balance.

Eye’s closed with a focus on light. Breathing deeply and reciting affirmations. Hands held over certain points on the body to bring healing through energy. These are methods of balancing the energy centers of the body. This holistic approach to healing is done by becoming one with everything and everyone around you, and you are that warming being that produces it all.

Activating Your Energy Centers

1. Visualization

Visualize your emotional weaknesses melting away as the flame saturates your heart. See the twelve petals of this flower bloom open and radiate divine love.

    2. The Heart Affirmation

    Recite out loud or under your breath, the heart affirmation: “Violet fire, thou love divine, Blaze within this heart of mine! Thou art mercy forever true, Keep me always in tune with you.”

    3. Meditation

    Now you must meditate on the light of your heart. Visualize the light from a higher force descending into your heart, according to the word of your prayer. Picture the light of the sun illuminating in the center of your chest. See the rays of the sun dissolving the darkness you feel within the world, loved ones, and you. Now, see that light grow into fiery-pink beams that break down all barriers that hold you down.

    4. Recitation

    Within this meditation recite: “I AM the light of the heart. Shining in the darkness of being. And changing all into the golden treasury of the mind of Christ. I AM projecting my love out into the world. To erase all errors and to break down all barriers. I AM the power of infinite love, amplifying itself. Until it is victorious, world without end!” Continue to repeat as many times as you please.

    You are now on your way to using your energy to heal.
