Alert to Chakra Shutdown - Part 2

Possible Shutdown of 1st and 2nd Chakra Systems

From Rita Milios, for About.com

People everywhere are experiencing a temporary "shutdown" of their first and second chakra energy systems because of the decrease in life force energy flowing through these areas. Symptoms include leg and foot cramps, feelings of heaviness in the lower body, feeling disconnected to the lower body and problems in the lower abdominal area. Chakra readings will indicate a siphoning off of the energy here, or a sense of "deadness" or "emptiness" in the energy field. If this condition continues without being reversed, it may lead to immuno-deficiency related illnesses and a permanent shutdown of the 1st and 2nd chakras.

For most people who are on a spiritual path, there is no real danger of lasting effects, although the symptom stage may be long and uncomfortable if the condition is left untreated. Eventually the person's vibrational field will adjust to the new "blueprint" and the chakras will continue to work. However there will be some changes, I am told, (and my experience bears this out 100% with dozens of clients). It seems that the energies have become so elevated (and, again I remind you that I do believe they have peaked out) that the normal vibrations of the 1st and 2nd chakras are not compatible any longer with the 7th chakra.

Bridging the Gap Between the 7th Chakra and the Lower Chakras

Our 7th chakra energies have simply become too high for the 1st and 2nd chakras to be able to "bridge the gap" and entrain together with one another as usual. So now the 1st and 2nd chakra are polarizing with the 5th (and sometimes for more spiritually evolved clients the 5th and 6th) chakra(s). What this means is that there is a new "blueprint" for our energy alignment and this new blueprint needs time to become implemented. However, there are ways in which a healer can help speed up the realignment process. There are also exercises which individual can do to help. These are listed below. I urge you to use these if you are experiencing any of the symptoms described and feel that they are due to the increased energies and not some other (medical) condition. As always, you should see your doctor if you are uncertain.

Scraping Off Excess Energy

Healers can help clients by first "scraping off" the excess energy surrounding the outer field. I find that most of the excess energy is drawn to the left side of the head and between there and that shoulder (the left brain is more active in most people and "magnetizes more energy). Clients may experience neck stiffness and back pain if the energies have solidified there. Usually I "scrape" and "pull" the energies all the way down to the floor and out of the field. Then I "pull down" the energies all around the upper body (the clients' field feels like a dress that has been blown up over her head!). Once the excess has been discarded, there are often some personal chakra misalignments to be dealt with in the usual ways.

Synchronizing Left and Right Brain Energies

Many clients' left and right brain energies need to be re-synchronized, and I do this by magnetizing the energies on the inside and on the outside of the head from left to right as needed. Often the throat chakras have been thrown out of alignment and stagnant energy is lining the chakra vortex. I use a "withdrawing of energy" movement and magnetization to remove and discard this. Usually at this point, once the energies are realigned down to the throat area, the throat chakra will begin to want to connect its energy with the 1st and 2nd chakras. This usually manifests as a "circling" movement, with the energy of the throat (and sometimes third eye as well) creating a "band" of energy as I circle between the 5th/6th chakras and the 1st and 2nd, using both a forward and a backward motion.

If there are other personal chakras that need attention, I deal with these as the excess energy is removed. However, I have found that since the last strong increases in vibrations, most people's personal chakras are (amazingly) not as out of alignment as one might think, except for the ones being re-patterned. (It appears that the spiritual realm is monitoring the process and alleviating any hardships that they can in other ways. For instance, I've noticed that even though the realignment process is difficult, the flip side is that most clients seem to also have been given a "grace" factor in dealing with their other issues. A lot of the emotional trauma that we had traditionally been needing to deal with via more traditional psychological therapeutic processes has recently been able to be "discarded" energetically more often than was ever possible before.)
