Following on the heels of our latest seminar on Chakra Energy Basics, I decided to expand a bit on some of the helpful tools one can use when working with chakras. To review: a chakra is an energy vortex occurring outside the body and which influences the functioning of mind~body~spirit connections in certain areas of our body. Ancient texts refer to seven Main Chakras occurring at the front of the body, each with its balanced and imbalanced characteristics. These energy centers respond to energetic phenomena such as colour, sound, aroma, emotions and thoughts. Each chakra responds to positive affirmations ie. positive self-talk, used with proper intention to help create positive healing.
Here are some affirmations that can be used for personal health and healing, courtesy of Anodea Judith and her book, Eastern Body ~ Western Mind.

The more often you use positive affirmations, the easier they become. And as you come to truly believe these messages, you have an opportunity to redo the unconscious imprinting of ideas and feelings that no longer serve your highest good. To free yourself from “old programming” gives you the opportunity to really be who you were meant to be. In some books, they call this “aligning with your true self and purpose”. And isn’t that what life is supposed to be about?
