4th Chakra-Heart Clearing Meditation & yoga

"A" is the sound of the Heart Chakra and it's color is green.
Pure as the Earth, it's element is air. The Heart Chakra is located at the heart center. It may be thought of as the balance and actually it is the balance point between, physical and spirit, the three lower chakras and the three higher chakras. Representing true compassion, kindheartedness, selfless love and devotion. The Heart Chakra is where we process and store all our emotional experiances. The Hearat Chakra speaks of "we" instead of "me". Associated body parts; heart, lings, diaphram, chest, circulatory system, shoulders, arms and hands Basic issues; love, compassion, kindness, relationships, self-acceptance,, forgiveness, hope, sympathy and empathy. Genstones and crystals; emerald, rose quartz and ruby.  Flower essances; bleeding heart, holly, wild rose, Essential oils; marjoram, neroli, wild rose, heliotrope. Food; green vegetables

Major issues of an unbalanced Heart Chakra are grief, isolation, despair, heartache, jelousy and sadness. Feelings of abandonment, isolation, lonliness or shyness man dominate. We may become unable to feel compassion or empathy for others or ourselves and become disengaged, unemotional and unable or unwilling to trust our hearts. Logic rules our behavior

Fabulous February

February has arrived in Wisconsin with another bang, cold, snow and now here on the 6th it is sunshine and 27 degrees. Looking across the snow laden back yard there are bunny tracks which tells us that spring is just around the corner as the little ones are coming out and wandering in the early morning.

Jupiter and Pluto are melding today, bringing us the treasure of fantasy, the rambling of spirit. Even though the day could be a little confusing as we attempt to do too much, and memories of past seem to arrive again, we will deal with it and be left with a sense of forgiveness for those we have left behind us as we move forward.

February is bringing lessons in courage and release. But what we didn't expect is that the future is up to us, choose what you want, there is no more karma to lead you down your path, it's wide open now, your options are unlimited so choose wisely. Shift your energy and choose. . . what's your wildest dreams, your biggest hope? That is what February energy is about.

I have posted in my side bar, a link to Uriel Heals and the channel Jennifer Hoffman. The link will take you to Blog Talk radio where you are able to listen to her show and the web site where she shares the messages from Archangel Uriel.

Take time in your day to communicate with source, to listen for guidance, either in the morning or before you arise or when you lay down at night, before you go to sleep, open your heart to the source within you, allow your connection with source to fill your being with the love of the divine, allow it to encompass you and be filled with the energy of your future.

One of my last posts I had mentioned a new ebay store called Primitive Hallow. After contemplating that and setting up my shop with templates, etc, I had not realized at that time that it was not about my artwork. So I am pleased to say that I am staying at Oakridge Primitives where I belong with my dearest ever friend, Vicki, who loves and makes every effort to understand me. It appears that Primitive Hallow is about spirit. . . a place to bring forth the meditations and communications I receive. I have made this blog to messy with art and spirit so I am separating the two and will coninue these conversations on Primitive Hallows blog.

But, before I go allow me to offer you one more meditation to help you ground yourself when the energies around you are getting to be too much to handle

Sit back in your chair, feet touching the floor, back straight and your hands on your lap. As you take in a deep breath feel the earths energy rising up through the floor, into your feet, up though your legs, belly and into your heart chakra. As you release the breath, allow it to surround you in a bubble that extends to arms reach. Again take a deep breath and upon release, the air is filling your bubble with healing love, heart chakra energy. Now as you take in another breath, see the light above your head as a stream of light entering through the top of your head going straight into the heart chakra. Now on the exhale see the white and green energies mix inside your bubble and know that you are safe within this healing bubble of energy , that all energy around you is being processed and keeping you safe from the outside world.

When I am experiencing too much outside energy, I do this to protect myself, so that I do not absorb too much of other peoples energy as it makes me "ill" feeling.

Have a wonderous day and remember to make your visions very clear and don't be afraid to live your fantasy, it is yours in the making.

with love and light. . .
