Faith always loses the battle with Fear! Those were the lines that I heard at the end of my dream I had the other night. Do you ever dream in a movie type fashion? Well, I do and last night Rachel Weisz was playing the lead character and she was partnered with Ryan Reynolds. She was upset because they just planned this huge event and nobody showed up and Ryan looks over at her and says, “See I told you no one would come”. And she says, “Of course nobody came. Why would they? All this time, I’ve had faith and believed that they would but your doubt overruled my belief!”
This got me to thinking about my own life. I’ve always been a dreamer and have had this unwavering belief in the magic of life and that things turn out as you want them to. Yet, looking back I’ve seen that the times I failed at something, there had been seeds of doubt/fear planted in my consciousness either by a partner or by a circumstance. Whatever the case was, faith lost the battle to fear.
Being present to the 7 chakras and their power is that you start to organize your life better, become more self-aware and find that you have constant access to an “inner knowing” .
One thing that is very obvious to me is the role that the BATTLE between FAITH and FEAR has in getting us in balance.
Here’s a visualization tool that I invented to help balance myself that I’d love to share with you!
As your eyes are closed, picture 7 potted flowers sitting side by side in a row. Each pot corresponds to
an energy center and has a flower growing out it. On the side of the pot, a label is glued on and you can see a single word on that pot.
Ex:
First chakra- SURVIVAL
Second chakra-SENSUALITY
Third chakra-POWER
Fourth chakra-LOVE
Fifth Chakra-SELF-EXPRESSION
Sixth Chakra-INTUITION
Seventh chakra-CONNECTION
In each pot, there is a weed of DOUBT growing next to the flower. In your hand, you are carrying a magic watering can filled with the water of BELIEF. Breathing long and deep, walk over to each pot and pluck the weed while watering the flower.
When you’re finished,look at the row of flowers, breathe in and mentally say the word SAT. Exhale saying the word NAM. When you inhale at SAT make sure to count to 6 and visualize all 6 energy centers. Then, when you get to NAM, visualize the 7th energy center and release.
Sat Nam translates to ” I am truth”.
Now, go forth and harvest some balance!
