Rock Your Chakras: Part 6, Events, & Newsletter #10

Hello, hello! The warmer weather has finally started to show it's lovely face to us here in Western NY and we all couldn't possibly be happier about it!

There's a lot in the works at the Covenstead including: Open Beltane Ritual on Saturday May 3rd, Open Dyad Moon Esbat on Friday May 16th, and the continued planning of our Trip to Europe for Lammas 2015! There's updated information regarding the 2015 trip as well as several informative articles in Newsletter Issue #10.

And NOW it's time for part 6 of the Rock your Chakras series!

Part 6 - Opening the Eye

Powers of insight, imagination, and intuition are gathered in the Brow/Third Eye Chakra. These energies are collected between the eyes in the center of the forehead.

Opening the gates of spiritual perception is the job of Sodalite. This stone aids in silencing mundane thoughts so the mind may receive information from higher planes of existence.

Gaze at the streaks of white running through the deep blue sodalite. Close your eyes but continue picturing the stone. Watch as the white streaks begin to glow and spark, dancing like lighting across the rich blue surface. Bring the stone to your brow. Feel the lightning energy strike your third eye, creating a clear pathway for divine wisdom and energy to flow into you. Listen and be the conduit of Spirit.

Affirmation: I see with clarity and listen to wisdom. I trust my intuition. I am open.

The Sacral Chakra is located below the belly button. It deals with emotions, sexuality, and pleasure.

One of the most beneficial stones for strengthening the sacral chakra is Carnelian. It's influence can stabilize the emotions, restore vitality, encourage creativity, enhance courage, and stimulate sexuality.

It is important for the piece of carnelian that you choose to be visually appealing to you and comfortable for you to hold.

Gaze into the carnelian. Become entranced with the colors and shape, take joy in its sight and feel. "Hear" in your mind your favorite pieces of music. "Taste" your favorite meal. As you take pleasure from your senses, place the stone to your sacral chakra, and see the carnelian pulse with orange energy. Draw that energy into your chakra.

 

Affirmation:  I am healthy and strong. My feelings are stable. I deserve pleasure in my life.

The Root Chakra 

is located at the base of your spine. It deals with home, family, health, finances, trust, nourishment, security, survival and stability.

Red Jasper 

is the stone to use for this chakra. It's extremely protective. It rectifies unjust situations, grounds energy and calms the emotions. It is a stone of health and strength. 

Hold the stone in your hand or against your root chakra. Visualize a beam of red light projecting from your root chakra. It touches and envelopes the stone, creating a link between them. See yourself in your "safe place", surrounded by friends and family. The light surrounding the red jasper grows. Feelings of safety and security wash over you. Pull the energy back from the stone and into your root chakra.

Affirmation:  I am vibrant, aroused with life-force. My strength grounds me. I will survive.
