BE Love
The mantra associated with the heart chakra is Yam. The affirmation is “I am love.” The color associated with this chakra is brilliantly sparkling, emerald green. Yam is a splendid sound to make. I like to think of it as Yummy Yam (the way I remember Yam associated with the heart, which feels so warm and expansive when we eat something yummy, or spend time with someone who feels yummy delicious to be with).

Love filled my mind with white diamond light. My body melted and I watched myself becoming this ever-expanding love. The warmth and fullness of my chest spread everywhere. I was one ball of a wholesome, loving heart. Was I chanting anymore? Probably not. Was I pure Love itself, me? Yes. Without a doubt. I can attest that I had become Love itself.

If any of you have ever been forced to do something absolutely aligned with, or totally against your will, you are familiar with that “good warm feeling” or the opposite, the aching discomfort in your midsection, close to your navel. Both reactions, opposing yes I know, are referred to as a “gut reaction” or a “feeling in my gut.”

Read MoreHealing Using Chakra Energy
After that healing session, I never felt sorry for myself at all. I just felt like what happened, happened. I began to realize that the abuse I suffered, instead of ruining my life, had pushed me into being a spiritual seeker.
You don’t have to be specific about which chakra, or even know what specific event might have caused you discomfort. All you have to know is that you want to be happier than you are.
The 2nd Chakra: Creatively Conscious!
This need-to-know-and-feel-everything! is 2nd chakra energy, folks! We all have it. This is our human desire, our birthright: to create, to do, to feel, to explore. To dive into, and off of, to climb to the top of every mountain we can. At least while we have the energy to. That’s why some of us exercise as we do, to maintain our energy levels just so we can keep up our explorations as long as we can.
Read MoreExperience the First Chakra
As we journey up the chakras, each energy center has its own corresponding mantra. Where these ancient sounds came from, I do not know. All I know is that my spiritual teacher taught them to me, and … I’ve found them useful. Mantras are just tools by which we can focus our attention on certain aspects of our spiritual understanding. And the more ancient they are, the more a mantra contains the sacred energy called Shakti. So that’s why I recommend using Lammmmm for connecting to your 1st chakra.

I think most of us who are reading this would benefit from being reminded how powerful that first chakra energy is. If you’re sick — go to bed! If you’re lonely — go be around others! If you’re angry — don’t take it out on yourself. And if you’ve ever been near dead (called an NDE, a “near death experience,” been in a coma, or know anyone who has — know that even if you’re only in that first chakra, the energy is powerful enough, healing enough, and guiding you (listen!) sufficiently, on its own, just by breathing … so all you have to do is keep breathing and you will stay alive. Never give up!

Of course this took years of practice. But the payoff the stilling of the mind, going deep inside Self, like sticking my finger into the CHARGED SOCKET of the Big Brain Itself (ha! it’s that shocking at first, so electrifying!), this place beyond thought, that, even for a glimpse that may last only a few seconds, and eventually becomes longer in time and deeper in connection — all this amounts to cultivating a spiritual connected-ness. This, my friends, is Oneness consciousness.
Read MoreTRUST … no matter what!
Congratulate yourself! You’ve just taken that leap of faith you need to let go of everything holding you back, destroying your chance at real happiness.
Now … as you jump from the cliff the monsters are far behind you. You look upward, spread those wings of freedom (metaphor here, dear ones) and fly high. Higher than you’ve ever been. You may come back to earth whenever you need to. But once you’ve experienced this release of unfounded fear — you’re truly free.
