Chakra Heart Connections
Sometimes our individual chakras may be super strong but they may not be connected to each other and we need them to be. They need to communicate and transmit supportive energy to each other, and to our Auric field, so making sure they are connected is fantastic chakra and healthy energy maintenance!
If you know how to self-test fantastic but in all honesty I always connect them all at the same time – it cares for the entire chakra system and our energy, and chakras, appreciates that.
A beautiful way to connect your chakras is with over-laying hearts. With the palms of your hands trace a heart over your 1st / base chakra and from the bottom of the heart pull the energy up to your 2nd / sacral chakra and trace the heart so that the bottom of it ends within the top of the heart you just made on your 1st / base. From this spot you pull upward to your 3rd / solar plexus chakra and let it end inside the top of the 2nd / sacral chakra. You continue this upward, it’s almost like weaving hearts and over-laying them up your body to just over the top of your head.

Figure-8’ing The Chakras
This is super simple yet super powerful. With the palm of your hand, starting at the 1st or base chakra (over the pelvic area) and you make figure-8 motions, slowly, upward towards the sacral or 2nd chakra and then continue this all the way up to and slightly above your head. Take your time, three slow breaths worth of time to connect each chakra to the one above it.
Once you have completed the above finish with a two-handed, crossing over, continuous figure-8 motion up the front of your body. Instead vertical figure-8’s you are now making horizontal figure-8’s with both hands and your hands crossover each other as you harmoniously weave upwards. You are not only connecting each chakra but also creating crossovers within many of your energy systems and it feels amazing!
Waving Into The Chakras
Inspired by Eden Energy Medicines Heaving Rushing In
It’s simple and powerful! I’ve been doing this for long time now and it makes me, and my clients, happy every time! The benefits are limitless bringing joy, radiance and healing into your bodies energy systems. You can also customize this for whatever energy you need at the time. Sometimes we need comfort, other times bravery, just know whatever you need is available through this self-care tool.
1. Quickie Version. Standing, sitting or lying down have your palms upward, arms slightly extended from your body, about 1-2 ft., as this is really one continuous movement where you open your hands upward briefly to bring radiant energy into the palms of your hand and then with a flowing wave motion you scoop that energy into your chakra(s). You start at your 1st / base chakra moving up to the 7th / crown. You may feel the radiance in the form of heat or even a tickle, it will be different for everyone, and some may even see it. I sometimes visualize golden balls of energy in my hands and I connect to all the joy and love in the universe and then scoop that into each chakra. Remember you can call upon any energy you need, such as happiness, confidence, relaxation etc. I usually do this process pretty quickly and because of that as I move up the chakras I am creating crossovers at the same time. It’s like Lacing the Nadis, except you move upwards and are scooping in universal radiance as you go.
2. Shamanic Version. In Tikal Guatemala we were doing a sacred ceremony at night in the middle of a ruin that was an energy portal to the Pleiades star constellation. The energy was out of this world, literally! I wanted this radiant magical energy to become apart of me. I was lying down on the grass and began to make true wave motions. I opened my arms stretching them outward as far as they could go, palms up and slightly higher than my body. Sometimes I turned my palms to touch the ground and then upward because I wanted to get the earth energies as well as the cosmic ones. So with palms up I let them fill with the high frequency energy I was bathing in and I slowly waived that energy into each chakra. It’s not one wave, it’s a few encouraging waves. It was a smooth and gentle gathering of the energies surrounding me and seeding within me. I did this several times to each chakra. Sometimes the waving was continuous and other times I took the time to let my hands sit on the chakra I was feeding, which really allowed that chakra to soak in and root to the radiant energy. This is a very instinctual technique, you want to follow the energy and do what feels right to you. Set the intention for what you want to bring in and affirm that it is very loving, nurturing and radiant.
You don’t need to be in some sacred place to connect to this kind of high frequency energy, you can do it in your backyard or even your floor – intention is everything! Mother earth is wise so you can ask that she connect you with certain energies and / or places anywhere in the world – everything is connected! I often call upon places where I have had profound meditations or experiences; it’s a great tool and a great reminder of our oneness with everything.
3. I have found doing all these radiant chakra techniques in different environments and times of the day can really shift what you bring in. At night you can bring in moon energy and all its femininity, its gentleness and radiance. Do it in the middle of the day and take in the power of the sun energy, which I have found to be energizing, uplifting and joyful.
You can of course always visualize any part of this process – our mind and intentions have great power!
Speaking of intention….
Ellen Meredith teaches us to tap into radiance and let it “drip” into your chakras, or any other place in your body that needs radiance, like an injury or someplace that just feels stuck, blocked or heavy. It’s quite simple, using your intuition and intention to find some radiance – point your left pointer finger up in the air and move it around until you feel radiance and let your finger plug into it. Then hold your right hand / pointer finger over the area you want to fill with radiance and these 2 hand / finger positions will allow radiant energy to flow into you.
Trust yourself and enjoy!
Waving Into The Chakras
Inspired by Eden Energy Medicines Heaving Rushing In
It’s simple and powerful! I’ve been doing this for about 3-4 years now and it makes me happy every time! The benefits are limitless bringing joy, radiance and healing into your bodies energy systems. You can also customize this for whatever energy you are needing at the time. Sometimes we need comfort, other times bravery, just know wherever you need is available through this self-care tool.
1. Basic Quickie Version. Standing, sitting or lying down extend your palms upward, arms slightly extended but not much (no more than 1 ft.) as this is really one continuous movement where you open your hands upward briefly to bring radiant energy into the palms of your hand and then with a flowing wave motion you scoop that energy into your chakra(s). You start at your base chakra moving up to the crown.

The energy was out of this world, literally! I wanted this radiant magical energy to become apart of me. I was laying down on the grass and began to do Waving Into The Chakras but the energy and my instincts were guiding me differently. Guiding me to make true wave motions. I opened my arms stretching them outward as far as they could go, palms up but my arms pretty much stayed parallel to my body, maybe slightly higher at times. This felt right because I wanted to get the earth energies as well as the cosmic ones. My palms were up and I let it fill with the high frequency energy I was bathing in and I slowly waived it into each chakra. It was a smooth and gentle gathering of the energies surrounding me and seeding within me. I did this several times, taking the time to lay my hands on the chakra I was feeding, and sometimes I didn’t do that, I was following the energy. Sometimes once the energy was waived into one chakra, in a continuous motion I let my hands / arms crossover to open my arms once more and repeat the process. I might say it felt profound but that seems cliché because the energy was like nothing I have ever felt. It was very loving, nurturing and radiant.
Please know you don’t need to be in some sacred place like this to connect to this kind of high frequency energy, you can do it in your backyard – intention is everything! Mother earth is wise so you can ask that she connect you with certain energies and / or places anywhere in the world – everything is connected!

I have had the great pleasure of speaking with the owner of Do Kham, Phelgye Kelden, for over 15 years. I would stop in to shop, or just stop in and he and I would begin speaking about energy, meditation and perceiving reality and it was always so interesting and his energy is transcendent.
The days before my trip to Guatemala in January Bowie had just passed and Phyelgyes shop is around the corner from the memorial so I stopped in. He looked at me and said what’s happening. Clearly I was not looking my best but he was seeing my energy that was stressed, sad, and fearful and so the conversation began…
He spoke of this reincarnate Buddhist named Migyur Rinpoche who spoke of being plagued by stress, at 12 – his story is worth reading! This boy said once realized he could not stop it he decided to embrace it, to take it in and when he did this it disappeared and he was no longer stressed out. I paraphrase obviously but the idea is clear – we usually need to embrace what is making us uncomfortable in order to let it go – to walk through it to get through it.
He knows I am a healer and asked if that was draining me? Nope I said that’s when I’m feeling my best, during and after – it’s when I’m doing nothing I feel unhappy and drained so he spoke of creating a bridge from the everyday me to the healer me. Interesting way to look at it and it resonated with me. Still working on that.
He gave me a basic meditation technique – that was actually taught to me differently in Costa Rica – and said it would help both stress (or anything negative) and me feeling happy. It’s called:
Om Ah Hum Breathing
1. You inhale purity by breathing in the color white as you say the word OM in your head.
2. Holding your breath you see the color red over your navel as you say the word AH in your head and this clears all negativity from your body.
3. You then see the color blue over your heart and say the word HUM in your head as you connect with compassion for yourself and the world and you deeply exhale with the intention of spreading that compassion around the world.
He actually demonstrated this and it seemed like he was holding his breathe forever, my breaths are shorter and that’s ok. He said he does it all the time, even when he’s working, “Nobody knows what’s going on in my head” and he said smiling.
I have been doing this since he showed me and I find it very comforting. Soothing and strengthening too but mostly comforting because I believe it is empowering my energy and that feels great! I also find it unbelievably interesting that I received a tutorial from him, in part about happiness, which was the thread for me during my Guatemala trip. There are no coincidences and I see it as a sign from the universe that I was ready to shift my heart into happiness and I am happy.
Hope this is helpful!

This is only part of my longer discussion with Dr. Sara, (she and her website are amazing by the way) but I feel this is so important that I had to post it in its incomplete form, the foundational idea must be heard, especially during this great time of change. We are all shifting whether you know it or not, and your shift may not look or feel the same as anyone else’s, we all have unique world views so we must have compassion for our fellow man.
As we “upgrade”, “upload”, “evolve” or “transform” it is all the same at the end of the day. We do not know what path a person has walked or will walk so just take care of your own energy – practice and generate loving kindness, it’s the only energetically polite thing to do.
We live life, yes, but we can control what vibration our life takes, law of attraction. I find her message crucial to anyone wanting to move forward with loving and joyful purpose. Happy shifting everyone! Nobody said it was easy, but that doesn’t mean it always has to be! Simple is accessible.
– I will be adding to this so please check in with us once in a while, thanks!
Dr. Sara is a gifted healer and teacher of energy medicine. She can actually see energy, which I would love to do but at this point I can only feel it and get visuals in my minds eye. But speaking to someone who can actually see it brings a new dimension to his or her unique perspective. I sat with Sara and here is a taste of our discussion.
Why do we not do what makes us happy?
Dr. Sara can see energy and she perceives that we all carry around a suitcase, our baggage literally. The question is…who packed your suitcase? Usually it’s our family or anything we perceive as an ‘authority’. To debunk your authority takes bravery. To do what you want can seem selfish but that’s far from the truth.
Sara has time and time again seen the adverse affects of being “happiness deprived”, which she says is a common problem. If you don’t do what gives you joy you end up in a negative habit pattern. Most of us need to relearn how to have happiness in our lives. One of the biggest challenges she says is learning to hold and accept your happiness once you connect with it.
How can we get happy?
Happiness is a morphanigenic field of infinite possibilities but you have to guide its creation. “You have to be the one to pack your suitcase” Sara said sweetly, I think she knew I needed to examine my suitcase. She suggests that we all take a look at what’s in our suitcase and how it got there. Then, unpack anything that makes you unhappy. Repack it with everything you do want. Put in happiness and harmony. Radiant circuits (our energy pathways of joy) like it when you do what makes you happy and they will keep fear and judgments at bay.

A New Year
Begin your new year with radiantly positive and loving energy☺ I feel nothing needs to happen right away just because its January 1st – there is a 1 month grace period as far as I’m concerned so ease into it. Too much pressure could make you say forget the whole thing, and we don’t that☺
This is our time of transformation; we are hard wired for it!
“Feeling” transforms, so feel it all! Feel your happiness, joy, health and love, feel your radiance. Feel your connection to earth, nature and the heavens. When we feel something as if it were true now and not in some abstract future, we create a morphogenic field around us attracting things that support those feelings – law of attraction.
What we believe we create and science now supports this intuitive and innate knowledge. Our biggest limitations can be our thought patterns of self-imposed boundaries. Let the fear of saying yes to life fall by the wayside and feel how amazingly lovable and valuable you are.
These self-care suggestions are good for anytime of year, see which resonates with you!
Find Your Gold
This is anything that brings you joy – painting, writing, dancing, singing – whatever it is make time for it!
Let Go Of The Past
♥ Write down what you want to leave behind and burn it. Burn it over a large bowl, outside or in your kitchen sink, just be mindful when doing this! I’ve done this ritual many times and it’s very powerful. You can also burry it in the earth.
♥ Dr.Sara Allen, once asked me “Who Packed Your Suitcase?”. Meaning what baggage are you carrying around that is not yours. Usually it’s our family, the media, society, etc. She suggests that we all take a look at what’s in our suitcase and how it got there. Then, unpack anything that makes you unhappy, or what is not yours.
Create Space For New and Improved Things
♥ Do the Eden Energy Medicine Blow Out
♥ Rake your hands across your entire body, this is opening energetically but it will also send a signal to your fascia (the connective tissue in your body) to open, which will relax you.
♥ Throw things out! Not only does it create space, literally but figuratively also – it allows the energy in your environment to flow easier. You will truly feel lighter and better.
Dream
Make time to dream beautiful dreams of your ideal life – really go for it! See it, feel it and be in vibration with it as if it already exists. Support your dream everyday by starting each day with a smile and with the intention that in this new day you will do at least one thing that brings you closer to the vision you have of yourself and your life.
Create a Visualization Map
This can be any size, using any materials. You can use drawings, pictures or the written word – or use all of these things, which is what I tend to do. You can find more information on this in the visualization section.
Write Down Your Intentions
This can be in any form – affirmation words or sentences, or full on stories of what you want – create your own world and watch it manifest. The written word is powerful!
Some Basics
♥ Laugh more – it’s medicine! It gets your radiant circuits going☺
♥ Love yourself more deeply – give yourself a hug everyday!
♥ Honor others – if you practice loving compassion with everyone you interact with daily you will be amazed at how your world will change!
♥ See the beauty in all things
♥ Trust your gut instincts
♥ Drink more water
♥ Move your body more – this can be just dancing around the house☺
♥ Be present
♥ Have fun!

12 Hearts
12 Hearts Benefits:
- Activates your radiant circuits – your pathways of joy and these pathways can send healing to wherever it is needed so it is great to do anytime, for anything. It also greatly supports your Auric Field.
- Helps overcome depression and grief
- Connects you to others and yourself
- Helps you to integrate and process experiences
With your hands, palms facing your body you are going to trace heart shapes all over your body, repeating three times over each area. Start by tracing your face, from top of head to chin. Then trace a hearts from your neck to your hips. Then over the pelvic area and finally trace a hearts around your entire body – from top of head to feet. Four areas = 12 hearts but feel free to create these beautiful heart shapes anywhere on your body.
A deeper version of this is to send this radiant heart energy deep into yourself. Do the above but now you trace the hearts with your hands touching your body and at a slower pace. Set the intention these healing hearts are bringing you love and joy. Imagine the radiant heart and love energy is going down into the deepest parts of your energies and filling every cell in your body. Take your time with this version and really let yourself feel how happy your entire energy system is for the beautiful gift you are giving yourself.
Hearts Everywhere
Our body loves love, it loves hearts! Give yourself hearts wherever you need them. Take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed and ask your body to show or tell you where it needs a heart and then trace it over that area. If you are experiencing any health issues, such a thyroid imbalance – trace small hearts over your throat. Make hearts over the back of your head, just above your spine. Make hearts over your 6th or third eye chakra – this is an energy nervous system point and will send hearts all through your nervous system. I have found making hearts over your knees is very soothing – over any joint is very helpful because joints are easy access points for energy to be received and released. I like to trace hearts over all my organs for energy maintenance and I have found the chakras LOVE hearts! Trace hearts over each chakra and to connect the chakras for deep chakra radiance.
12 Hearts With A Loved One
Exchange tracing hearts!!!!! It’s so loving, beautiful and fun to do with other people and you can ask them to make hearts all over your back, it’s fantastic! Enjoy!
Toe Hearts & Humming
I was helping a friend with some severe toxins in the legs and I was working on drawing out the energy from the feet, through grounding so the earth could pull out the toxins, pain pumping for the pain but I also set the intent that I would be pumping out toxins, counter-clockwise motions, which pulls energy up to release, from a chakra clearing technique that can yruely be used anywhere you need heal something, and as we healers do I followed the energy. He had fallen asleep but his spirit came out to guide me, it was actually amazing! I was guided to make hearts over each toe as I hummed into them. I could feel a harmonic balance between the humming, hearts and his body – it felt beautiful! It was gently nurturing but powerful.
Heaven Rushing In Benefits:
- Brings in feelings of inspiration and happiness
- Expands your consciousness, and your energy sense of being Connected to the “heavens”
- Overcome sadness
- Overcome depression
- Expand your auric field
This is such a joyful Eden Energy Medicine technique. Stand with your knees slightly bent with your hands on your thighs and take a deep breadth. You can also do this laying in the bath. With an inhale raise your hands above your head, palms facing up toward the heavens. With your eyes closed connect with all the love, healing and abundance in the universe. Everything you want and need is available to you. When you feel connected to everything you want and need scoop your hands towards your body and bring your hands down to lay over your heart and breathe it in. Repeat the process as many times as you like and you can also bring your hands back to any area that you want to bring healing to.
The post title is a great book by Bruce Lipton exploring how our thoughts and fundamental beliefs help to create our realities. Throughout time we have discussed the power and potential of “energy” and we are still getting to know the art and nature of this powerful force that is both elusive and crystal clear all at the same time.
Energy and its interconnectedness to us, and everything is extraordinary. To stop and think about the vastness of that concept is where the magic happens. When we are present within “everything” we can choose anything. We just have to believe. I admit I need reminding at times but that’s life and that’s ok.
Some ways to activate the power of your beliefs:
1. Be Grateful. Gratitude is a powerful energy. Keep a gratitude journal or less formally write down one thing a day you are grateful for on a scrape of paper and begin a gratitude wall in your home. Get artistic and have fun with it. Don’t judge and think oh this is too small to write down, such as “I am grateful I got the mail today” – we’ve all had those days. Just laugh at yourself and at know how loveable you are because you are.
2. Live in love. Love can change everything if you allow it to live in and around you. This one can be tricky – whether subconscious or not, we can be our own worst enemy. We think we don’t deserve love, or we create roadblocks for ourselves and that can trigger triple warmer to “freeze” us in those unhelpful emotions. Push through and fake it until you make it. An Eden technique I find very helpful is to put your hands over the center of your chest and “rake” your fingers outward and upward as if you were opening your chest / heart center.
If it’s all about our thoughts affirmations are a powerful tool. Tony and I have been saying a variation of this for over 15 years and we always feel better after, “I am an open channel to the love and light of the universe…(take a breadth)…I am love” and repeat as necessary. What you think you create – so think about and dream about love. Tell yourself everyday that you love yourself and give yourself a hug.
3. Choose happiness. No matter what is going on in your life (almost) you have a choice about how to feel. When I am out of balance I can make things into a bigger deal because I am “looping” a story in my head. Many things can distract us from happiness but recently if these old habits come up I mentally dissolve then through visualization or I just make a strong affirmation that I do not accept the negative emotion I might be feeling and I affirm to myself that happiness really is a choice and that is what I choose. So be it.
A few things to be aware of:
We are really living in a time of accelerated energy and that means we are all feeling things on a deeper level and it is seemingly one thing after another but we can change the story to focus on great things happening one thing after another – even if in the beginning its only in our dreams. Dreams are a powerful tool to put us in vibration with what we are wanting, so dream on.
The collective unconscious greatly affect us – all this energy floating around waiting to be pulled towards energy that is like itself, whether it be positive or negative – its a precarious place if you are not in a great mind set – the law of attraction is powerful. The fantastic thing is you are powerful and in control of you. You can choose what you allow into your energy field. You can choose how you feel through your thought patterns.
The Bottom Line:
You are brave, strong and loved. Deep happiness is yours for the taking!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
