I have a had conversations with a few customers recently who are curious about this other unseen, less known aspect of life and wishing to strengthen their intuition.
Everyone experiences gut feelings, hunches or simply the desire to say, 'I feel like this is the way to go' despite the logic of the rational mind.
You may even feel sensations in areas like feeling constricted or tight in the throat when you can't say something, pain in your chest with heart break or sadness, a tingling or pulling tug at your belly button rising from your lower abdomen when you feel excitement about a person or new project.
When you meet someone that you are magnetically & deeply sexually drawn to you may sense a rising feeling from the base of your spine all the way up through your heart and through to the crown of your head. You may feel them close by, before you even see them.
Above is an image of the 7 chakras, their function and connection to the above experiences. We start with just the 7 chakras as this is the general starting point the sensations in our body lead us to explore.
There are 12 or more chakras ones that connect us etherically above our heads to more than just this physical reality and one that connects us to the earth, within the earth. Then the Mayas have a different system of 13 chakras within the joints and throat of the body. I will explore these in further blogs and patreon courses.
For now let's look at the sensations like throat constriction, what does that feel like? It's disempowering, we can't express what we feel & what we know to be important and true. We need to be able to express those needs and desires without internal judgement or fear of external judgement - this is the The 5th Chakra (Throat) Colour blue.
Heart breaking or bursting? Pain associated with attachment to another, or the ego's tricks creating self pity, anger, resentment, low self worth? Can't show our real feelings, cry, laugh with a free flowing energy - we look to The 4th Chakra (Heart) Colour Green.
Excited but scared of a new relationship, connection, project or job? Feel that pulling like sensation in the naval sometimes rising from the lower abdomen & even the base of the perinium (below your sexual organ but in front of you anus)? The 1st (Root/Red), 2nd (Sacral/Orange) & 3rd (Solar plexus at the naval/belly button/Yellow) Chakras.
The Solar Plexus is personal power, feeling empowered & balanced in your expression of that power (not overpowering anyone or alternatively being submissive),
In alignment it provides a deep feeling of Authenticity, personal authority & responsibility as well as Autonomy.
A nervous but excited feeling of pulling or tingling in your stomach/naval area is telling you that an opportunity is the right one and that it's going to help you grow spiritually
by challenging you and expanding your awareness. As mentioned before it sometimes presents from the root chakra & the sacral so you feel the sensation from the base through your lower abdomin to your naval.
If you are experiencing disempowerment it will feel not exciting, but sick and uncomfortable in those areas, you may even experience diarrhoea if it is quite extreme, it may coincide with a tightness in the throat as you feel unheard or unable to communicate emotions.
These are just a few common and early examples of how the emotional/spiritual body communicates to you via the physical body to inform, assist and align you. The body is an excellent teacher & intuitive support, the more you listen, thank & appreciate your body working perfectly (even when it's helping you by experiencing a flu to make you stop, rest & take better care of yourself) the more health and energy you will have.
In simple ways using colour, wearing clothing, jewellery or decorating with colour can enhance your ability to work with challenges or strengthen each of the chakras. As per the table above you could you beautiful vibrant yellow to feel empowered, centred & autonomous.
Crystals that are of the same colour can, heal, restore and create a higher frequency of one or more chakras. Green Moss Agate is powerful for healing the heart, emotional wounds and opening the heart to love & experience.
You can go as deeply or as lightly as you want with Crystal energy, the most important thing to do with crystals is to spend time near them or wear them on your body. Next to your bed is an excellent place for protection & healing, on your dining table is great for prosperity, family & peace. Next to your bath is an excellent place for relaxation, stress relief and mental health.
You build relationship with crystals over time & ita’s only when you don’t wear them or move them that you tend to notice big shift in the particular supportive energy the Crystal had been gifting you. It of course depends on the crystal you are working with, we always have a crystal bible in store so we can find the specific qualities & assistance each crystal can provide (I am relatively new to Crystal energy work & find many customers teaching me : )
You can meditate with crystals, hold them, ask for guidance use them as wands over the body for clearing.
Crystals tend to also have association's with planets and signs in astrology.
There are subtle messages from the body that relate to emotional & spiritual challenges, in astrology you can identify how this will present in the body by the correspondence to the planets, the luminaries & signs. Specific dis-ease and illness emerges in the body when you are out of alignment with your individual purpose.
I will outline some health issues I have struggled with & how they related to my astrology. I have a Taurus north node and with a Taurus north node there an ever present struggle between the deire to merge with others and the loss of identity & boundaries.
The tendencies to leave behind are unconscious Scorpio traits of inappropriate intensity, destroying the lot to eliminate one part, preoccupation with others psychology, no boundaries to name a few.
The tendencies to evolve are on are maintaining healthy boundaries, enjoyment of the 5 physical senses, enjoying nature (instead of looking to others) to restore equilibrium, clear communication of needs & boundaries, taking care of my own needs first instead of looking to others. Taking charge of my own material resources, whether that’s creating wealth & properity, taking financial responsibility, there needs to be me taking the lead & a measure of autonomy anytime it slips into the support of another in exchange for something there’s a heavy consequence. I can empower others & share or create from my own values & ethics but the discipline of defining the self & other must be maintained.
If you have a Taurus north node you may relate to this, if you had a Scorpio North Node effectively a lot of these life lessons and patterns of growth are reversed.
This is the work I do with clients in readings, identifying & empowering them to bring about change through this awareness (some would say remembering) of who they are & why they are here.
To bring back to the topic of the body, communication & the link between spirit/emotins & dis-ease.
Taurus rules the throat, the neck, the experience of the 5 senses.. In fact the signs rule areas of the body in order from head to toe with variety in the systems & organs associated.
So Aries & Mars is the Head. Ears, left eye, migraines, head aches, accidents, head injuries, eye sight & so on & you move down to Taurus & Venus rule throat & neck as mentioned before. Gemini & Mercury rules the brain, nervous system, lungs arms and hands, Cancer rules the breasts, chest, stomach, Leo the heart & spine,
Virgo rules digestion, intestine, Libra rules Kidneys & urinary tract & balance (even though that is inner ear interestingly it ties in with Aries the opposite sign which exist on the polarity axis of lessons), Scorpio the sex organs and colon, Sagittarius the thighs and hips, Capricorn, bones (including teeth) & knees & dry skin disorders, Aquarius is circulatory system & calves/ankles & finally Pisces is the feet, Lymphatic system & partly digestion more the ibs, or anxiety diarrhoea, it comes from taking on others emotions & feelings and becoming a sponge.
This is no exhaustive list & just an introduction to give you a feel for interesting things you may relate even just to your sun sign & the sun signs of friends & family.
My personal experience has been that I have seen people around me create illness in their bodies, I have seen people heal themselves, I have seen people be healed by others. I have seen many see every type of doctor & healer under the sun with a mysterious symptom or set of symptoms with no success.
I believe our bodies are just a reflection of or inner emotional & spiritual state. Our bodies have to capacity to be well always & to heal anything. But our personal willingness to do the difficult emotional work & changes is not always there yet. Illness & dis-ease is not bad & should never be given power as ideas, our bodies are always just trying to communicate something. It is not that the disease doesn’t exist or is in our minds, I am not saying that. I am saying the intense clinging to or pushing away of it, classifying & attachment to the idea of the illness just tends to exacerbate the symptoms.
We know for example people in domestically abusive relationships or those that suffer trauma as a result experience illness & disease or disorder in the body. Often when healed or escaped or both wellness & equilibrium returns to the body.
Science is always evolving a greater body of research that shows the link between trauma & resulting long term effects on the body & mind.
With that being said this is about getting in touch with your body, your inner knowing, your intuition. The more you grow the inner knowing & listen & respect the body the healthier and happier you will be. You can do that without any authority or body of knowledge (Be that scientific & medical or alternative & natural medicine practitioners. You are are the best authority & within you is the ultimate knowledge of how to be well).
We all do also need extra help to return to wellness from time to time, when things have gone too far or we reach our limits, & having a team in mind of caring healers astute in their abilities with the body & medicine (whichever occupation) is a practical idea that can also create a sharing network to recommend to help others heal,
Best of Luck on your journey within,
