The Seven Chakras

May 9, 2022

Root

The Root is associated with the element of earth and grounding. It establishes the deepest connections with our physical body, our environment and with the Earth. All events that threaten our basic survival are recorded within energies of the first chakra.

Sacrum

The Sacum seeks passion, pleasure and enjoyment. It is our centre of feeling, emotion, pleasure, sensuality, intimacy and connection. It represents how we experience our lives through feelings and sensations.

Solar Plexus

The Solar Plexus is our identity/ego and the centre of our willpower (the perception of who we are). It is our inner confidence and self esteem. It is also the centre for our lower emotions and associated behaviours.

Heart

The Heart is the centre of our deep bonds with other beings, our sense of caring and compassion, our feelings of self-love, altruism, generosity, kindness and respect. When the heart chakra is open and energy is flowing freely, we are loving with others and with ourselves. We know when to say no and when we need care and self-nurturing. It is the centre of our self truth and higher-self guidance.

Throat

The gift of this chakra is to accept our originality, express our authentic voice and speak our truth. It is linked directly to our personal integrity and sense of honour. It is the communication centre, where we learn to express who we are and what we stand for. This is also the centre for manifestation. A person with an open throat chakra is a good listener. They enable other people to have the experience of being heard, which is one of the most profound human needs.

Third Eye

The Third Eye is the ability to see both inner and outer worlds. It allows us to experience clear thoughts as well as gifts of spiritual contemplation and self reflection. It allows us to access the inner guidance that comes from the depths of our being. It helps us cut through illusion and access deeper truths; to see beyond the mind and beyond the words. The Third Eye is not only the seat of wisdom, but is also the seat of conscience. This is where we are able to see what is going on and understand what it means. This is also where our sense of justice and ethics originates.

Crown

The Crown is the seat of cosmic consciousness. It connects us to Divine intelligence and Divine grace. The energy of this chakra allows us to experience mystical oneness with everyone and everything in nature. It is the fundamental connection to the Akashik Records. It receives energy to sustain life and returns the personal energy to unite with the collective pool of consciousness.

Reiki and "The Veil"

By Carell Mehl • September 30, 2025

The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not. The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood. Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in. When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality. Tips for aligning with the “Veil”: Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem. Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien). Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder. Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel. Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side. Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations. Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words. Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you. Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you. If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
