Chakra Mastery: Tuning in to the Power of Your Chakras

Cathy Brennan www.InspiredSoulAlliance.com Page 1

I've always felt like I came a little late to the party, out of synch with those around me. It felt like everyone had it all figured out, living the happily ever after. There I was trying different things, taking all sorts of classes, exploring new avenues yet not really clear about where I was going with all this seemingly unrelated interests and experiences pulling me along. There was a part of me that knew to just keep following my heart.

I studied nursing and learned about the human body and healing with traditional medicine. I studied environmental engineering and learned about nature, natural forces, human impact on them, and healing the earth. I studied alternative health and learned to work with the mind-body-spirit flow for holistic healing. I studied energy medicine and learned the human energy system and healing with energy. The common thread was healing and the integration of all systems in order to uniquely empower each individual.

The interconnectedness of what I have learned allows me to fully step into my soul purpose passionately. I know that as we move forward in this time of great change we must look at the whole picture and what that means for us individually and collectively. We must learn to master tour own Human Energy System in order to navigate quickly, efficiently, and successfully through these changes. It is the key to unlocking our greatest potential.

At the core of the Human Energy System is the chakra system.

They are a series of energy vortexes that process energy and are connected to the meridians or energetic pathways that move through the body, the energy points where the meridians cross commonly known as acupuncture points.

The chakras connect with the subtle energy bodies that make up your aura, and the web of energy often referred to as the matrix of collective consciousness. This is the very basic synopsis of the Human Energy System.



This report will give you a basic knowledge of the 8th chakra, what it is, how it functions, and how it affects your life.

There are hundreds of minor chakras throughout your body, much like in your circulatory system the major components are your heart, veins, arteries, and blood; within that system are more intricate subsystems. The same is true of your energy system.

Each of the 7 major in body chakras are tuned in to a particular physical and emotional aspect. The out of body chakras are more focused on the movement and processing of the different types of energy.

Just like we have preferred dominant hand We all have a preferred dominant chakra this provides an energetic profile that forms our perceptions . There are many factors that play into your energy profile and though it's foundational it is not a static thing it can change and evolve with you.

This is the beginning of a journey in self discovery, self healing, and self realization so sit, back relax, (you can't get it wrong!) and enjoy. Apply what you learn fine tuning it to suit your unique situation and needs. I'm happy to be sharing the journey with you.

Namaste',

Cathy

The chakras are the Human Energy Systems primary operating system. They take energy in, move energy out, and convert energy to a useable frequency for the current situation. The chakras connect with other parts of the Human Energy System to distribute the energy.

They have tremendous impact on our day-to-day life, yet because they are largely invisible, functioning in the subtle energy fields, not much attention is paid to them.

They do have a visible effect in our lives. Over the last 20-years I've discovered patterns and characteristics within the chakra system. Each of us has a preferred or primary chakra that we filter energy through first; this shapes our perception and experience of reality.

All of the chakras process energy and each of us utilize this process in ways that are unique to us. This assessment identifies your unique Chakra Energy Profile or Archetype. It highlightswhich are your primary and secondary chakras and gives you an idea of how that is impacting you and your life.

There are seven in-body and four out-of-body chakras that are referenced in the assessment. There are hundreds of chakras in our Human Energy System but these 11 are the major ones. Each chakra processes energy of a certain quality or vibrational frequency. This is why certain characteristics are associated with different chakras. Similar to different musical notes each one has a unique sound and vibration and when joined together they make beautiful music.

All of us utilize all of the chakras but for each of us, particular chakras are utilized more; they are louder if you will, than the other chakras. This informs how we express ourselves in the world and how we perceive the world around us. Just like a dog can hear high frequency sounds that humans cannot, we tune in more to the frequency of our primary chakra.

When we utilize the energy from the chakras consciously, we facilitate a smoother flow of energy which fosters ease in our lives. It also helps us to reframe what we are experiencing in ways that are meaningful and inherently work for us. We are all familiar with the phenomenon of witnesses to an event having very different versions of the same event. This is because each person interprets the experience of the event through their own unique filter, their primary and supporting chakras.

For example: several people witness an altercation between an older gentleman and a young woman.

The Hero see's the young person as disrespectful and disrupting the traditional foundation of the relationship.

The Warrior see's the young woman exerting her freedom of choice and taking a stand for her beliefs.



The Oracle see's a communication effort that's not being very effective.

Each person see's the situation in a different light depending on how they filter the experience. The chakra energy profile is that filter. Can you see how you filter your experiences?

Each one of the chakras is associated, tuned in if you will, to certain areas of the body, feelings, and bodily functions, with the exception of the out-of-body chakras which function slightly differently. They are not directly associated with an area of the body and they utilize the energy of the supporting chakras in a more direct way especially when it relates to more tangible results.

With all of the Chakra Energy Profiles take the information and use your discernment to see what fits and what does not, making note of where there is resistance or if it simply is not applicable to you at this time. There will be situations/circumstances where certain aspects of the profiles will be more or less active and times where the supporting chakras will play a more active role.

The key is to be aware of how this works for you. This awareness will help you consciously process energy more efficiently and direct it positively towards what you want to create in your life.

The first section covers the 7 in body chakras. The front vortex of a chakra relates to the conscious self and our immediate reality while the back vortex relates to our unconscious self and our ancestral , past life energy.

When working with the chakras, the front side is where we access the energy from this current life experience. The back side is where we access the energy to connect with our past life experiences, higher dimensions, as well as hidden knowledge, feelings, and secrets. Take a look at each chakra answering the questions and seeing where you could benefit from some balancing and aligning.

Remember that this is a fluid process, just like every minute of every day your heart beats and moves blood through the body, moving energy is a continual process. How you care for your energy has a direct result on your life. There is a quick reference chart below to help keep you on track.

Off Body Chakras



The inclusion of the off body chakras always stirs up some questions. What are these extra chakras, what do they do, and why haven't I heard of them before. Most traditional chakra systems speak of the 7 on body chakras because they have been the core of our energy system for the majority of people up until now.

Say some your favorite foods are strawberries, yogurt, and rye bread. Sometimes your in the mood for something sweet and the strawberries hit the spot, later on your looking for lunch and a turkey sandwich on rye is just what you crave, for an afternoon 'pick me up' you want something creamy to hold you over until dinner so a cup of yogurt is what you grab. Each of the foods serve a purpose for you and they are each interpreted differently by the taste buds in your mouth, no one is better than the other....they all taste good to you. Each one simply activates different taste buds and your perception of that taste.

The chakras are similar, in that, depending on the situation and your unique energetic makeup any one chakra may be more less active at any given time. The energy processed by each chakra increases in frequency and you move up the chakras. Just like different tastes it doesn't mean any one chakra better than another, they are simply at different frequencies and are used for different purpose.

If you were to decide to study wine and become a wine connoisseur . You would learn the techniques for assessing the bouquet, the different flavors in a wine, and the best food pairings for each wine. Your taste buds would be finely tuned to the very subtle taste variations that go unnoticed to the average person, like me :)



The off body chakras are tuned in to subtler, higher frequency energy

This energy is associated with non physical experiences like soul patterns, connecting with ancestry, alchemy of energy, spiritual truths, and karma. You tune in to them a little differently than the on body chakras, much like a wine connoisseur....only with energy. The rapid evolution in consciousness we're currently experiencing is awakening these off body chakras in more people.

Unlike the on body chakras the off body chakras do not relate directly to the physical body rather they influence the physical body by sending energy through the other chakras as well as through the endocrine and nervous systems. Learning to tune in to them will benefit you on many levels .

If your primary archetype is one of the off body chakras you will want to work closely with your secondary chakra as well creating a strong flow of energy between them to create effectively in the physical. Potentially your impact will have a deeper meaning as you move the higher frequency energy into the on body chakras you increase the frequency of your entire energy system.

Everyone has the ability to do this regardless of their archetype, the way they go about it will be different . When a wine is paired with the right food there is a synergy for both wine and food that enhances both. The same occurs with chakra energy. Consciously moving energy through specific chakras enhances energy flow and physical results, and after all isn't that what were seeking?

When you breathe into the root chakra visualize red light infusing the chakra and gently move it, either with your hand or by visualizing it, counter clockwise then clockwise. Adding the following affirmation:

My worries, fears, and anxiety regarding security, safety, and financial freedom are dissolving, I am releasing them now.

My needs are met continually and abundantly, I am free, I am safe, I am secure. There is an abundance of time, money, and energy for everyone.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

Taking a spirituality class

Reading spiritual books


If you are experiencing difficulty in any of these areas focusing on the crown chakra with your breath and some extra cleansing may be of value(in conjunction with your current plan) getting the energy moving.

When you breathe into the crown chakra visualize violet light infusing the chakra and gently move it, either with your hand or by visualizing it, counter clockwise then clockwise. Adding the following affirmation:

My feelings of being alone or separate are dissolving.

I easily and regularly connect with the infinite power of the Divine.



I am whole. I am connected to the Divine. The Divine is part of me and infuses me with peace, joy, and love.


Am I disconnected from a higher power? Do I feel separate from everything and everyone? Am I unable to tap into the flow of the universe? Do I lack faith preferring to trust only in concrete physical reality?

If you answered yes to any of the questions you may have a block in the crown chakra. You can cleanse and realign the energy in your crown chakra by doing the cleansing above or any activity that feels right to you. You may want to change the affirmations using the language you used when answering the questions.

Location: Lower abdomen

Sanskrit: Sradhisthana

Overview: The focus here is on worthiness and pleasure. The Goddess sees things through the filter of emotion and uses the energy of this to fuel creativity. This is the area that boundaries are held so the expansion and contraction of them will be prevalent as you feel your way through life. There is an emphasis on feeling good and helping others to feel good.



Strengths: You can easily feel a person, situation, or event and have compassion for others. You have a great deal of ingenuity and flexibility.

Money: You will notice a rise in finances when you are happy. Money is seen as a flow in the positive or as a restriction in the negative. You need to be creative in how you earn and save money; the traditional path will not be very appealing to you. Money in and of itself has no real appeal to you; the freedom it ultimately provides is your pay off.

Energy Profile: Mystic (visionary, seer, strategist)

Astrological: Pisces, Sagittarius, Moon

Body: Eyes, sinus, brain

Chakra: 6th, third eye

Color: Indigo

Core Words: Vision, psychic, intuition, big picture, wisdom

Location: Between the eyebrows

Sanskrit: Anja

Overview: The focus here is on insight and wisdom especially in regard to the big picture - as big as you allow. You are skilled at attuning to universal consciousness and applying it to the physical world. There is a strong connection to worthiness for you, allowing only as much as you feel worthy of. Feelings of unworthiness will result in the weakness of your Energy Profile to emerge.

Strengths: You tend to have strong intuition and with it the ability to see the big picture not only for yourself but for others as well. This is often so natural that you will discount it; make no mistake it is a gift. You have the ability to bridge the left logical brain and the right creative side. This enables you to strategize well.



Operating from the 6th chakra allows you clarity and flexibility as you see the outcome and the different ways to get there. An effective technique for you would be to envision your future self, tune in to your intuition, and take inspired action to make it your reality. In general visualization is very effective for you.

Weaknesses: You can get stuck in an either/or situation where you look only at the logical or only at the creative and don't use your natural talent for bridging the two. This can cause you to experience tunnel vision and to set your sights too low. You may blame yourself for any problems you encounter. Because your natural tendency is for the big picture, you can miss the smaller details. It may be easier for you to partner with someone who prefers the details rather than getting stuck in trying to manage them.

Money: Long range planning suits you well, seeing the big picture allows you to look long term. Money itself isn't the goal for you rather the success that it stands for. You generally do well with strategic long-range financial goals.

Career: In general, anything that allows you to use your strategic planning skills. Look to your supporting chakras to narrow the field down. You can also use your wisdom and ability to bridge the logical and creative to teach or mentor. If you choose to develop you innate psychic ability, the esoteric world would be a good choice as well.

Strengths: You have a full understanding that we are not alone. You embody oneness and a deep sense of gratitude which gives you the strength to follow your divine path. Because of your strong connection with the divine, you have the ability to see if people/things/situations are in alignment with spirit or not.



Weaknesses: You can get stuck in an egotistical or 'holier than thou' mentality. There is also the risk of seeing the everyday world as mundane and not worth your time; if left unchecked this can become self-centeredness. There is often an association here with money being evil, bad, or a base need. There have been many Spiritualists that have moved past this to spread their gifts while being well compensated.

Money: In order to make money you must be aligned with your divine plan. You must truly believe in the value of what you are doing in order to make money. Your challenge will be in releasing the belief that money has a negative energy.

Career: A career for you must be aligned with your values and spiritual grace. Look to yoursupporting chakras for a focus and find an area that allows you to follow your divine purpose.



Sage Energy Profile

Chakra: 8th Spatial

Strengths: You have the ability to access other dimensions, tuning in to past knowledge as well as possible outcomes; this is a powerful combination. There is the ability to see the duality in each situation/person and use that to foster outcomes for the highest good. Your focus is on the outcome not the method of getting there. There is a strong sense of personal responsibility and a desire to foster that in others, empowering them on their own path. You have an innate ability to see right to the heart of the matter and the true value in what is happening.

Weaknesses: You can struggle with time, wanting to have right timing and having to live in this time-space reality. There is also a tendency to change soul decisions made prior to incarnation; this can cause some struggle and strife. You must learn the fine distinction of being aware of



and tuned-in to others energy and taking on or absorbing others energy. The later will leave you feeling quite depleted (especially true if you have a strong 2nd chakra). Because you are powerful, learning to balance your power and the use of it is important; too much and you can become infatuated with power itself and too little could have you blocking success for fear of abusing power. Creating harmony here will be critical to success.

Money: Money is truly an energy exchange for you and when you are able to view it as such money will flow nicely. This is an area where the harmony of your power will show up; if you are not in balance money will be difficult.

Career: You have an impact on those you come in contact with by staying true to yourself and using the strengths of your lower chakras. You can find a career that empowers you and those you work with giving you a sense of meaning and fulfillment; this will likely change as you do.

The Unifier will champion those they see as less fortunate or disadvantaged. There is a sense of fairness and equality that pervades everything they do. The patterns of humanity emerge for them and they can see ways to improve the pattern.

Strengths: You have the ability to be a catalyst for social change. Because you see the ideal and hold that as a standard you can work tirelessly toward that end. For you the pattern reveals itself and you take action to make it fair, equitable, and right for all. You tend to be very passionate about your focus for change.

Weaknesses: You can struggle with over giving to the point of exhausting yourself. The desire to right social injustices can tip you into the realm of a zealot, unable to see the big picture. Because you want to effect social change you can become cynical, especially when results are slow or not visible.



Money: Money for you is important to help further your cause. Generally it's easy to raise money for what you believe in but you can struggle with generating cash flow for yourself. Remember that you cannot effect social change if you do not have your basic needs met first.

Career: You are uniquely suited to fundraising for a cause you believe in. Another area you tend to do well in is ethics management; you're not easily swayed from your ideals. Look to your supporting chakras for support in creating social change and making a difference can offer a wide range of possibilities.

Weaknesses: You can struggle with stepping into the role of extremist taking your love of nature to a fanatical degree. This leads to rigidity and rather than being grounded with strong roots and a flexible trunk like the tree, you can become unyielding.



Money: Because you are so tactile it's easier to understand money if you can touch it. You see money as a way to provide for your basic needs, it pales in comparison to the bounty of nature.

Career: Environment and science are good fits for your love of nature. Other areas of interest would include Feng Shui, anthropology, archaeology, farming, or natural medicine as all ofthese areas utilize your understanding of nature and the natural cycles.

Career: Because change is such an important factor in your life you can apply your skills in many areas, look to your supporting chakras to help narrow the field.



What's Next?

Now that you have the basics down, what do you do with it? There are numerous ways to apply this information in your life with real tangible results (talk about making the invisible visible!). I'll cover the top five ways to apply this to your life.

1. Take a look at your primary Chakra Energy Profile. How do these qualities support or hinder you? Is it situational; more evident in certain relationships, at work, or at home? Make note of where your attention is drawn. What feels true for you, what does not, and what are you resisting?

Now take a look at your supporting Chakra Energy Profiles; go through the same process. Are there areas you want to enhance or reduce the energy? Focus on these areas when doing your chakra cleansing either drawing more energy in or slowing down the flow.

2. Look at an area you have a recurring problem or struggle in. Now take your lowest scoring Chakra Energy Profile and see what qualities you could enhance to help you come to a solution. For example, if the 5th chakra was your lowest, how is communication showing up? Is there a way to bring greater clarity to your communication both speaking and listening?

3. Think of a goal that you want to achieve. What qualities will you need to help you achieve that goal? Draw on the energy of those chakras to infuse your goal with the energy of those specific qualities. For example, if you want to attract a relationship you may want to draw on the energy of the solar plexus chakra so you stay confident in who you are.

4. Look at your work life; are your values being expressed? Are your strengths being utilized? Look at how you can shift your perception to expand how you see your work. What are your



intentions behind your work? Consciously draw energy into the chakras that will support you.

5. Cleanse your chakras daily. Just like you shower, brush your teeth, and comb your hair your chakras need regular cleansing. It doesn't take long a couple of minutes of consciously moving the energy through your chakras will do wonders. Not only will it keep the energy moving, it will also connect you with your energy field making it easier to tell when there is a disruption.

Tuning in to your Human Energy System is a vital of part of a successful well balanced life. It has far reaching effects and does not take a lot of time. As you explore, you maybe be surprised at what you discover and how easily it's incorporated into everyday life. As you adapt and expand on your practice I would love to have you share any new ways or adaptation that you discover. You can share on the blog at www.inspiredsoulalliance.com or email me, Cathy atinspiredsoulalliance dot com.
