The Root and 3rd Eye Chakras
When I was learning how to be psychic many moons ago, I was taught to get grounded in my root chakra and activate my 6th chakra, or 3rd eye center. That is where I would sit and do all my work: clairaudience, clairvoyance, and instant knowing.
But Something Was Off.
What I noted over the years was that my solar plexus chakra would get seriously impacted in readings. When clients were at their wit’s end and radiating a lot of that energy, it would throw me off. I would feel weak for hours and sometimes entire days: it was not good. I learned every psychic protection technique known to mankind, or to me at least, in an effort to heal myself. I even created a course called Psychic Protection for Empaths and Sensitive People based on all the research I did!
Now, I am a very kind, loving, and compassionate person by nature, all heart chakra qualities. But in all of my psychic studies, I never came across anything that talked about activating the heart chakra. I was never taught to center myself in the heart space while doing readings. I certainly didn’t think the heart center was so powerful that it could transmute energy in the solar plexus…but more on that later.
The Closed Heart Chakra
I came to realize in all of my spiritual quests that my heart chakra was sort of closed. The reason for this was that, when I was a child, my mom struggled with cancer. I have vivid memories of going with her to her chemotherapy appointments. I combed her hair as it was falling out, and I watched her slowly die. I turned my back on God for a decade after that.
When my baby Ivan was born, I remember feeling like I was so afraid to love this person because I wouldn’t be able to take it if he suffered and died, too. Of course I am very loving and am trying to be a great mom. But as a highly sensitive person, I realized I had a fear of having my heart crack open and then being devastated all over again.
A few years ago, a very dear psychic friend said it was time for me to center myself in my heart chakra and to activate it. We both had an idea or sense of what it would be like – do the things you love, work some esoteric techniques, appreciate nature, etc. But with no literature or a guidebook of sorts, I was kind of lost.
Soul Love by Sanaya Roman
I have talked about this before recently, but the book Soul Love by Sanaya Roman and Orin changed EVERYTHING for me. I got it this year, and took a meticulously long time to get through it. And for good reason. It literally teaches you how to activate your heart center the way I teach people to activate their third eye.
To say it’s very powerful is an understatement! This heart center is unbelievable! It’s magnetic, bright, warm, and there is a heat that it generates. It’s like there’s a brilliant sun right in the center of your chest.
If you are interested, I highly recommended the book and the accompanying meditations.
Clairvoyant Techniques with a Twist
In my clairvoyant studies, I was trained to bring my energy in and call my spirit into my body. I then center myself in my 3rd eye and open my throat and crown chakras. What Sanaya and Orin teach is how to center your spirit into your heart space, and have it literally activate the center of your heart chakra.
Basically, you imagine your soul coming in and centering in your heart. It then connects and clicks with your heart chakra, becoming like a brilliant golden sun radiating energy out into your aura.
After you get used to that, you eventually move into lifting what Orin calls “unevolved solar plexus energy” into your heart and letting the heart transmute that energy. Many empaths and highly sensitive people like me have a lot of unbalanced solar plexus energy. When it’s lifted into the heart, it’s game-changing.
The Heart Chakra in Action
I’ve been doing these heart chakra meditations every day for a while now. And I recently noticed that the heart center will start activating on it’s own!
Here’s a great example. I had see a doctor regarding my shoulder, which dislocates all the time. 🙁 It was a different guy than I normally see, and he was in a pissy mood. I’d been waiting in the exam room for 45 minutes and when he came in he was incredibly sassy! Now, I can give sass right back (that’s my ego) and I was upset at his attitude. But instantly my heart center started getting really hot! And all of a sudden, the energy shifted and he got really nice! He actually did me a solid, and we both left smiling and feeling good. It was awesome!
Having an open heart chakra helps you naturally not be afraid of other people’s bad vibes. It radiates this vibration that’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt. It’s powerful, but not like you have power over anyone. It’s a power of oneness. It’s the sense that we are all from the same source, and we are essentially all one.
Deliberate Activation of the Heart Chakra
The deliberate activation of the heart chakra takes time and effort. But eventually, the heart chakra will be the place where you naturally center and ground yourself. Coming from here will help heal low self-esteem as well as issues with all kinds of relationships. It’s magical.
As someone who is very sensitive to energy, I feel a very big difference coming from here. I was trained to get grounded in my root chakra, and this is so different!
So many of us humans see love as something that is conditional, because it can be given and taken away. And humans do that all the time. In fact, many clients say the most unconditional love they have ever felt from another sentient being is from a pet, because they know how to be pure love.
Operating from your activated heart chakra changes this. I’ve only been doing it this year, but I look forward to a lifetime of exploring this in greater depth and detail. Come and join me on this path! Let me know if you decide to read the book and how it’s working out for you.
