Chakras

I read this book entitled Chakras and Archetypes a few years back and just recently
opened it up again. I forgot how amazing and helpful this book was! While reading this book
I realized how different of a person I am now compared to who I was in 2005. There are several differences to who I am now opposed to 2005 but what stood out the most was simply the reader in me. My current eyes are so much more present and wise. They are also more aware of who I really am and what journey must come next in my life. I am positive of this.

In 2005 I was definitely still a trapped soul. I mean, yea, I was on the spiritual journey...I had completed several transformational workshops, I volunteered my time in order to serve others on their spiritual journey, I was participating in yoga and various other meditation workshops on a weekly basis, I traveled out West to attend an Illumination Intensive, I had a spiritual teacher, and I was seeking out a shaman to heal my supposedly wounded past. Yes, all of these, really! But I wanted to achieve my highest level of self in such a short amount of time, that was my real issue. I couldn't quite see the process as a continual journey, but only a fast resolution to my victimized inner-child. I used love and peace as my affirmations on life but was still not able to communicate my truth to many people I loved. The female warrior inside of me was a bit weak and wanted every possible confrontation to end in total bliss and harmony.

Now,however, I simply no this is not possible, at least not if my happiness depends on it. I must stop being the "silent child" and communicate what really must be said. Of course, this energy should come from a place of power and love but in order for me to "be me" I must also acknowledge myself at my lowest level and this is usually when I'm not communicating something that I feel needs to be communicated. Which, of course, then leads me to self-destruction and sadness.

Back in 2005, I was unaware that my throat chakra was completely void of truth to some degree. I could feel the energy trapped there but didn't quite have the tools to let it out.
Flashforward to 2010: I do have the tools and I'm using them!!!
