Apparently to lots of folks prosperity means owning the largest most elegant home. They must enjoy the finest dining and entertainment. When their bank account is so full they can’t imagine where next to invest the over flow, they feel prosperous. And, oh yes, their automobile is the latest model and definitely the most expensive. Perhaps they also employ a maid and a chauffer.

Then to other people prosperity is having true friends. Those friends who are always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. To those “other” people it  is also knowing who their “real self” is both physically and spiritually. They know without a doubt they are prosperous and filled with unlimited abundance because they came to this earth with talents and abilities to bring purpose and joy to their lives.  They realize they arrived to be caring and generous with others as well, learning all the while through love and forgiveness.

It is that feeling of innate security that lives in their hearts, the personal confidence that comes from the knowledge that they will always know what to do, what actions to take, how and when. For them it certainly is having just what they need when they need it but with no particularly urgent need for excess whether that need be food, shelter or transportation.

So what is prosperity to you? I have to emphasize that I have no quarrel with those who live the richest of lives with money to spare. My only thought is that a rich life also must include a spiritual balance that comes from give and take. When you have much and live triumphantly in a state of riches without the fear of loss, then you can be free to help others generously in a multitude of ways.

However, if there is always the need to jealously guard your fortune, there can be no joy, peace or contentment. It seems there is simply never “enough”. True prosperity is a joyous sharing of your heart with others. It depends on a different way of thinking and acting stretching yourself far beyond acquiring just the things that money can provide. If you are able to bring out the highest and best qualities in yourself and others, you have attained the ultimate in riches.

After all, when everything is said and done, we are a creation of the most high spirit. Yes, we live in the confines and demands of an earthly body but our responsibility will always be to express our divine spark in the best way possible. We feel the urge the strong pull to use our talents, expand our gifts and offer them to others.

We are here to learn to love and learn in a thousand different ways. For each of us to practice love is to unconditionally embrace, honor and respect the divine spark existing at the heart of every living person and thing.

At the same time you must never forget your own spiritual origin. You are a perfect light and love filled spirit enjoying a human experience. Remember to honor your own wondrous soul! You are unique, special and important. For all those reasons you now are and will always be abundant, prosperous, rich and secure. This is your birth right.

Is the space where you live, work and play completely clear and energized? How does your living room, bedroom or office feel? Or are there times when you feel you have stepped into a sort of energetic cloudiness?  Do you ever encounter a feeling of general unrest and you don’t understand who, what or where it is coming from?

If you repeatedly enter into a somewhat darker or less cheerful energy in one of the areas you habitually use, perhaps it is time to investigate further. If for instance you have recently moved into a different home or apartment and do not feel energetically supported by your surroundings, it may be that you are hosting the unpleasant dark energy of a previous tenant or owner.

When unhealthy activities of any kind have taken place in a location, there may be a “hangover” of those events present. A room that was used for some extended period as a sick room can still radiate that feeling. An area where violent confrontations have taken place may seem to still reverberate with that noise and anger.

If on the other hand you encounter some new or unusual unpleasantness where there was none previously it is possible that you have picked up a negative “cord” or attachment somewhere in your travels. It is entirely possible that negativity which you innocently carried can feel at home and then deposit itself in your space.

Those of us who are sensitive to disruptive forces may suffer when in unhappy or fearful locations. Even when our emotional upset or distressed feelings are only in response to energetic memories imbedded in the walls (as opposed to literal ghosts or spirits) a good psychic house or office clearing may be the best solution.

Many times through the years I have been called to remove and replace such confusing and unhappy vibrations in addition to freeing an occasional stuck spirit, ghost or apparition. Having made an initial assessment of a particular situation with my guides, I have many diverse methods at my disposal that I can use in various combinations for a clearing.

Just as important after I have successfully cleansed a space is the replacement of that energy which has been removed with new clear positively vibrating energy. I am certain to do that refill before I leave any clearing. The reason is that every time a “vacuum” is created by clearing out negativity it must be filled. Otherwise it will be filled naturally with whatever is at hand and that may not be what is wanted or needed!

If any of the above energy “symptoms” or needs resonate with your current experiences, give me a call. I can help. I am your Sarasota Psychic Medium, Rev. Lois Cheney (928)300-2030.

When you are in my studio for a psychic reading it is easy for me as a clairvoyant healing channel to see and feel the energies of your chakras. I can immediately tell which ones are working below capacity or over extended. Even though I might be giving you a psychic reading only by telephone I am still able to psychically, clairvoyantly, see the energies being emitted from each of your chakras and assess their individual health.

Why concern yourself with your chakras? Your chakras are vitally important to your health in all your “bodies”: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. When each one of these vortices of energy or wheels of light and color is vibrating to the right frequency and entraining with the other chakras all goes well. But when one is sluggish, partially closed off, or conversely, over active, the whole line of energy from the top of your head to the base of your spine is negatively affected. Your central column is not clear and flowing with energy as it was intended to be.

As a psychic it is easy for me to see if a chakra is cloudy, too pale or too dark in color.  Although the color of each chakra is different the optimum shade and luminosity would appear as if you were seeing it as in a stained glass window with light pouring through.

What can be done to correct chakra imbalance? How important is it? Illness can develop. Depending on the role of the affected chakra you may begin to experience various degrees of general discomfort.  For instance a first or base chakra which lacks energy can manifest as fear of finances, worry concerning family and relationships or just of feeling of not being “grounded”, spacey. That kind of stress can cause many illnesses. On the other hand too much energy in that chakra may cause a person to be demanding, stubborn and willful.

If your second or sacral chakra is weak you may feel confused or unsure as to how to access and express your own creativity. If it is overactive it may present obsessive sexual behavior.

The third or solar plexus chakra has a very important role in allowing you to feel what is right and good for you and what is not. It is a highly emotional center and as such can be a great help in manifesting your desires (think fire in the belly). Any idea when combined with strong emotion can be brought to fruition. If the solar plexus chakra is not working to capacity it can be difficult to access your intuition. An overactive third chakra can lead to emotional and mental confusion.

The fourth or heart chakra will indicate whether you are able to give and receive love as well as whether you allow yourself to forgive yourself and others for seeming errors. A constricted heart chakra can easily have negative effects on the physical circulation system. When it is open and flowing it contributes to joy and optimism.

The fifth chakra governs all manner of communication: speaking, writing and listening. It is the center of power. When it is depleted the energy in the total system is reduced. You may become unable to speak up for yourself, to make your desires heard. If it becomes overactive there can be an attempt to control others or become egocentric.

The sixth or third eye chakra is the place where creative visioning occurs. Manifestation always begins with a visionary idea. If the third eye is slow or only partially open it is difficult to visualize strongly enough to bring about positive changes for the future. If it is overactive it may be hard for a person to be in the present or now, tending to “space out” living solely in their imagination.

The seventh or crown chakra requires access to the highest spiritual energies. As long as it is properly open and vibrating only the divine truths of the I Am Spirit will come into your energy bodies. Much of the energy for your physical body comes through that chakra. When it is partially closed you may fill listless and run down. It also becomes more difficult for the soul to spiritualize and to advance.

There are many ways of correcting the energy in the individual chakras. If you and I are a distance from each other I will make suggestions to you over the telephone or internet for breathing in certain colors or perhaps activating one or more of the chakras with pure golden divine energy bringing it through the crown. Many times certain musical recordings will help a particular chakra regain its intended momentum and direction. Particular kinds of physical exercise can be of benefit. Essential oils are another possibility.

If however you are with me in my studio for chakra therapy I will utilize my eight tuning forks (each individually musically tuned to a specific chakra), quartz crystals, color breathing and powerful affirmations. Certain essential oils or stones may be suggested. When the chakras are clean, clear and fully energized you with your aura become a virtual rainbow of color with the color of one chakra blending and merging with the next as they support each other.

This manner of clearing and aligning the chakras can bring out old traumas from this life or a past life to be addressed and removed. Since our karmic returns are stored in the chakras, many believe that this negative energy removal can have the effect of minimizing karma.

Invariably the effect of the chakra therapy will bring a peaceful, grounded, balanced, “all together” feeling to my client. It is as if they have returned to wholeness without any fragmentation.

Keeping a healthy physical body, mind and emotions for the important purpose of comfortably welcoming and housing your spirit self is a full time job. The living results that you achieve depend on your personal awareness, watchfulness and many times your willingness to innovate. Flexibility of thinking and action is necessary.

Being in the “now” moment, fully present, is a good thing but by itself, it is not enough. In addition you have to be willing to see your own needs and evaluate your experiences. You have to be willing to make changes or adjustments that are not always so easy.

Most of you would agree that the day to day challenges of earth life are taxing enough without having to spend considerable thought and energy to accommodate the continual desires for spiritual growth that issue from your soul. Life path and direction can become a continually perplexing issue.

So what is this “grounded” business? If you have taken any intuitive development or healing classes and workshops you have probably been told the necessity of being and staying grounded. You may have been given various grounding techniques, tools or exercises. All of those methods are intended to lend stability to your inner plane channeling, insure the accuracy of your work and give you the confidence of knowing you are working with a high level of energy.

As a psychic medium I immediately relate grounding to a first chakra issue. The first or “root chakra” as it is sometimes called is an energy wheel within your aura field. It is located approximately at the base of your spine. That chakra contains your first experiences with this earthly incarnation. It holds your emotional feelings regarding family, relationships, financial security and also contains any “fight or flight” response.

Obviously to be grounded requires an acknowledgment and acceptance of your human experience in all its variety. The act of grounding engenders a feeling of solid understanding attachment to mother earth and the nature of your earth life in particular.

Think about grounding as it relates to wiring and electricity; you know that the grounding wire has a very important function. Without grounding, any electrical connection, instead of fulfilling the intended pattern of a light or other electric appliance, might send sparks flying out “willy-nilly” in all kinds of potentially harmful directions.

I remember one of my metaphysical instructors some years ago saying that if you ever became too “airy-fairy” with your psychic experiences and high spirituality, if you ignored the needs of your more earthly existence, your humanness and began living “ungrounded”, there was a quick solution. You should simply have a bite of steak tarter and glass of whiskey! Yes I am sure that will bring you down to earth! Not at all what I would recommend but I understand the idea.

All of which brings us to the subject of being balanced. What does the balanced life mean to you? For me balance is giving attention to many facets of life without leaning too far in any one direction. Every day I want to enjoy a time for work, play and meditation.

I set aside time to just think and review my priorities. I make sure to laugh when ever the opportunity presents itself and smile often. Accessing my joy and thankfulness each day gives me not only that feeling of balance but assures me that I am able to handle the unexpected.

You and I receive 24 hours every day. What are you doing with yours? Have you strived for balance? What might you do to bring more balanced living into your days? Just as there will always be dark times, there are always ways to turn on the light.

For shining the light on dark day experiences I personally have always turned to thankfulness. I encourage you to be thankful for the big things as well as the little ones. Give thanks for the people who aggravate you and the ones that bless you. Both kinds bring gifts. Thankfulness always brings me joy, peace and balance. I believe looking with gratitude at our life experiences can help initiate the balance that we crave.

Now tell me; are you “enlightened”? When I say “enlightened” what kind of picture does it draw to mind? Can you perhaps become enlightened? Or is enlightenment only for special people? Must you cast aside your humanness to experience enlightenment? Perhaps you need to become monk-like and ignore your earthly relationships and desires? Hardly!

You have incarnated on earth to have an earthly experience while still respecting and honoring the truth of your nature which is Spirit. Your earth life is a time for understanding some very basic concepts. It is a time that offers you physical resonance while gaining soul wisdom.

To be fully enlightened in this life does have its requirements however. Listening to the quiet voice of your indwelling spirit is the beginning of all understanding. It is necessary to spend regular time in meditation and contemplation. Asking for and receiving the help of your own guides, masters and teachers will bring amazing guidance to you.

Perhaps the most taxing of the enlightenment requirements is the casting aside of a nearly automatic judgment of people and circumstances.

Judgment of yourself, judgment of others can cripple or delay your journey to enlightenment. Admittedly it can be a strain to pull back from an all too human habit of labeling every action good or bad. It is undeniably difficult to call your own actions or lack of action just more “experience” instead of something hurtfully critical.

What can be even more of a challenge is resisting the urge to label the actions of family members, friends and even strangers according to your own concepts of right and wrong. To ever assume that any one of us knows with certainty what is good or bad for others is not appropriate. We cannot know the needs of another’s life path.

The good news is that a completely enlightened person will never have anything to forgive! Why? Because they have never taken offence. They have never been offended by their own actions or the actions of others.

When you access your personal enlightenment you become powerfully aware that every action you take affects the whole of life. When you are happy you automatically “infect” your fellow beings. Your joy is even more “contagious”. Your own light and the way your project that light will touch others. In other words as uniquely individual as you are, your heart reveals with unwavering certainty that you are part of the ONE LIFE, the ONE SPIRIT, the ONE CREATION. There is no separation. As an enlightened being you will take most seriously your obligation to be the very best “you” that you can be.

So, are you grounded? Are you living the balanced life? Are you pursuing your own enlightenment? Only you know for sure.

Today however I want to talk not about dads but about one extremely important Mother. That is our own precious and giving Mother Earth.

The news media is having a field day. Our television channels, our internet are both jammed as we receive almost minute by minute updates on the Gulf of Mexico oil leak…speeches, congressional inquiries, scientific opinions, on and on. There are multiple projections of how horrible this disaster will be. It is frightening, daunting and all too real.

In the midst of all this I cannot help but wonder if we would be paying a quarter of the attention to this disaster if it were happening in another ocean far away from our Florida shores on the other side of the globe. For our own comfort many times we turn a deaf ear if a particular problem does not affect us personally.

Human caused earth disasters are nothing new. I am reminded of the video images of polar bears as they lost their islands of ice at the pole. We see photos of the dense smog in China caused by industrial pollution.

Sometimes we do not admit our part in the damage that we as citizens of earth are doing day to day. We demand and use more and more energy to satisfy our desires.

If you have internet access you doubtless have received e-mails from friends suggesting various prayers and affirmations to assuage the damage in the Gulf and on the shores. All of those suggestions have merit and if used with intent and conviction any or all of them may be of some help.

There is a great noise being made over the guilt of the particular oil company whose well leaked, its C.E.O. and all the companies it hired. The incessant blame is heard loud and clear, repeated over and over again. There has been agreement about the large sum of money that will be earmarked to alleviate the suffering this spill has caused and its ongoing effects on the people and the environment.

The real problem is this: all the anger,blame and retributions in the world do not address the underlying cause. We, you and I, are asking our sacred mother earth to give more than she possibly can and to do it faster!

It is not this company or that company. It is us, individually and collectively. We are raping our own home. If we want to continue enjoying life on this beautiful planet we must make some changes.

What can we do one individual at a time? I am sure I do not have all the answers but I know we can make a start. Energy conservation is a pretty broad term so let’s break it down to some small solutions.

Do you have a bicycle gathering dust in your garage, hidden by the car? Would a little exercise help eliminate that extra weight around your middle? Or how about walking? Is the grocery less than six blocks away? Too far?

O.K., think about this: could you and your neighbor share the car trip to the grocery or the church or the library? It could be fun catching up on each other’s lives. That might also be a gallon or two of gasoline you don’t need to buy or burn.

Do you realize that all your plastic water bottles are made from petroleum as well? That suggests to me that recycling or reuse is important. At the same time I must confess I am absolutely the worst when it comes to remembering to take my canvass bag into the grocery instead of receiving still another round of petroleum-birthed plastic bags.

Planting a landscape that requires daily watering is a waste of another one of our valuable resources. It is no secret that the better way is to use native plants that are able to thrive without constant attention no matter what the weather.

Yes, I admit all of these ideas appear to be small stuff. So I want you to consider these things: the citizens of Atlantis eons ago used much different energy to accomplish their transportation needs; the builders of the pyramids moved boulders weighing tons without gasoline powered vehicles.

The huge rocks weighing many tons that are a part of the Coral Castle in Homestead Florida were moved into place at night using unusual, and as of yet undefined, energy. That energy to move such giant rocks may have been electricity or magnetism but that power was not provided by a coal burning electric plant or a gasoline powered generator.

Whether we believe it or not, we have access to the same energies used in all of these examples. Perhaps this is the time to claim our abilities on a higher level. Think for a minute what we are doing when we channel hands-on-healing to another person. Are we not using invisible energy?

Perhaps it is a different form of energy when we send healing, but knowing that is possible, could we not channel another kind of powerful energy? The possibilities involved certainly deserve our attention. One of you may be that particular person to bring forward one of those ancient energy sources.

A good beginning in our efforts to be kinder to Mother Earth would be to encourage our current day scientists to build their energy inventions by you and I monetarily supporting their ideas. Let us be willing to step up and fund the best energy saving ideas, those that give rather than take.

Let us support our best scientists and their innovative ideas and put those inventions into general use right now. We do not need to create one more gasoline powered engine. This effort of seeking workable, affordable alternatives and utilizing them could signal the start of a new era.

We need to begin today to love Mother Earth. Give her your gratitude by showing kindness and respect for her abilities. She is busy providing for all your basic needs. Thank her today.

Many of you are familiar with the work of Dr. Emoto concerning the effect of words, thoughts and emotions on water. This is what his website had to say on the issues with the Gulf:

Dr. Emoto’s Healing Gulf Prayer

“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures

in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans,

fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures   . . .

I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

Let’s talk about habits for a minute. Habits can be very helpful. For instance you don’t bother to think where the light switch is in the bathroom because you have turned it on hundreds of times. You can find a spoon for your coffee almost without looking. Perhaps you wake in the morning without an alarm clock. Well worn habit pathways make life easier but I am sure you know not all habits are beneficial.

Returning to our topic of emotions and thoughts: If I asked how you regulate your emotional barometer, how diligently you are controlling your emotions, you might tell me for instance “My emotions just happen.” “I have no control over my automatic emotions.” “I can’t change them.”

Ah, but perhaps your emotions “just happen” because of the well worn habit pathways you have created. Perhaps they “just happen” because long ago, albeit unconsciously, you decided which way to react to certain similar situations and that reaction pathway became habit.

On the matter of thoughts, I grant you that many times they simply seem to fly unbidden in and out of our heads. Nonetheless, you can decide which ones you will allow to live in your mind, which ones you will house. You have the power to send away those ideas and images that are not for your best good.

Let me say this: you can decide today, this very minute, to keep or abandon any old emotional reaction as well as any old thought. If the patterns you made long ago do not please you today, erase them, discard them. You can decide to begin right now to feel and think in an entirely different way, forge a new path. You are a virtual master of those positive changes if you wish to be.

Yet, many of us continue to give away our power to others. We react to seemingly negative comments or actions of a friend, spouse, or family member. Perhaps we bring our temper to bear either silently or aloud on the actions and words of an unhappy clerk in the store. We keep mentally rehearsing a hurtful incident minutes perhaps hours long past.

How do I know this? I have caught myself more than once mentally piling up what I considered to be wrong actions taken, wrong words spoken, by my daughter. Fortunately when my personal outward emotional explosion happened the other day, the result of an incident which for me was “one last straw,” my daughter was at work and not physically present.

In order to encounter a “last straw” you have to be collecting a lot of straws! I am working on myself to let go of things when they happen or even as they are happening rather than putting them in an emotionally charged shoebox for later use.

When you or I react negatively to another person’s ideas and actions we hurt ourselves! Even worse than just the effect of a heavy emotional reaction on the very cells of our physical body and mind is the fact that through experiencing and giving space in our hearts to that emotion, we GIVE AWAY OUR ENERGY to the offending situation or person. Is that what we really want to do?

Over and over again we amplify the very thing we do not want to see manifest in our lives. How foolish is that? We use our ability to create the exact opposite of our heartfelt desires.

Living your personal truth is challenge enough without giving attention to every other word, thought, advice or direction that is offered to you. It is not bad to be sensitive to what is happening around you. Go ahead, be aware. You can listen. You can listen to everything. Just monitor your reactions carefully. What are you storing in your body and mind?

There are people who will tell you it is “flu season”. “Everybody is getting it.” Decide if you wish to accept that belief. Someone may say to you that because your whole family has a history of this or that malady, you most certainly will succumb. Is that what you want? “They” may tell you that because of current financial situations your new business has to fail. Do you want to quit before you start? Be selective in those ideas that you internalize because positive or negative they will manifest.

It is always good to pick up helpful ideas from others; however, it is most assuredly detrimental to your life progress to accept every seemingly offensive word or action that on the surface appears to be aimed at you. Take only that advice which resonates with your innermost guide. Let the rest go. Let that which is not for your best good float away on the breeze.

No matter how much effort you make, how wonderful your social skills, how loving you are, not everybody is going to like you. Not everybody is going to applaud your way of doing things…not your family, not your friends, not your lover. The most important skill you can learn is to allow criticism to slide right off of you. Knowing who you are, what your goals are, and taking some action every day to achieve those goals, that is what is important.

Recognizing that every individual who is present today has different lessons, different life direction is a big boost to finding your personal tolerance, your ability to honestly smile and allow. As long as you are not receiving any physical harm simply allow others to think and do as they would. It certainly is not up to you or me to decide what is right or wrong for another’s life.

This attitude of allowing and accepting would seem to be the most difficult for us in the case of friends and family. For whatever reason we all seem to be particularly talented in recognizing the faults of others. My advice? Send the Light and Love to all, see the Light and Love, be the Light and Love. It is always appropriate. In many cases it is the best you can do. Whether it is accepted or not, it is always absolutely correct.

Know that other folk’s “mistakes” maybe exactly what they need to learn and grow. Don’t take away their lessons. It is not for their best good. Offer advice only when seriously asked. Many times that apparent call for help is not for you to fix anything but rather is really only a call for you to be a good listener.

You and I have chosen to live in this world of opposites. Yes, it was our decision. I believe our most valuable learning comes from observing the interplay of the positive and negative. If we will rise to our personal challenges, if we dare to be that which our innermost self would have us be, we will have lived the best of lives. Live from your heart and soul. Spirit’s wisdom will knock on your door every day sometimes in pleasing attire and sometimes in rags.

I believe in differences. I believe in your personal uniqueness. I encourage you to explore all your gifts, all your talents. Throw away any inhibitions or fears that you have collected along the way. I know each one of you is unique in all this earth. You are special, valuable and important. Claim your personal power. This is your chance for the best life ever. Use it to the fullest. TAKE CHARGE OF YOU!

Your chakras as a group contain all the colors of the rainbow in many varying shades while each individual vortex may be vibrating with only one color. Your overall aura or etheric body with its ever changing hues can contain myriad colors as well.

Chakra centers channel energy to you from the front, back and through your body. They bring in pure energy and are centers of consciousness. Are you aware that your chakras or these “wheels of light” as they are sometimes called, can store physical and soul memories even those of past or parallel lives? Consider the phrase “clearing karma”. Where might that karma be?

In my work with clearing and activating chakras I use three tools: crystals, tuning forks and color breathing. The crystal layout is for amplifying energy. The tuning forks are to achieve the desired vibration and speed of each vortex. Why color breathing? When a specific chakra is low in its appropriate color, it functions at a lesser level causing the adjoining chakras to be dampened or held back from their peak operating ability.

When all chakras are fully functional, clean and energized, there is an entrainment that happens between them resulting in a boost to your personal power.

A chakra that is clean and operating at optimum level is never muddy in color. The color should be light but luminous to reflect a healthy state. If I encounter a muddy appearance in any chakra while I am working with a client, I ask intuitively for the cause. If appropriate I can then offer some advice to them or adjust my work to correct the problem.

To enjoy a smooth physical and metaphysical/spiritual functioning, I ask my clients to use their imagination to breath colors into each chakra, one chakra at a time. I start with the base chakra and a clear red color, moving through the chain of chakras; using orange for the creative center, yellow for the emotions, green merging into pink for the heart and high heart, blue for communication, indigo for third eye, violet for the crown and finally white/gold/silver for the highest chakras which are above the physical body.

It has been my experience that even though I believe the colors to be correct, each person will vary those colors according to their own inner guide. In other words, if for you the sunshine yellow of your solar plexus or emotional chakra is more a pale lemon color, you should use that color. Whatever color or shade resonates with your intuitive understanding is the one you should employ.

It very well may be true that as we progress in our spiritual understanding or we move into higher levels of living and expressing, the colors we once used for our chakras may not be appropriate under the present circumstances. Going from 3^rd or 4^th dimensional living up to 5^th is bound to cause some changes in our energy needs.

Additionally I have found that some of my clients who are spending a good percentage of their time working in the higher realms of Spirit may need to be reminded from time to time to care for the three so called “lower” chakras. Those three can become quite depleted.

As long as we are living from a physical vehicle we need to be balanced and grounded utilizing the energies of the first or base chakra. The creative or sexual chakra plays an important role in our physical life and deserves attention. It is also especially important to be able to rely on our yardstick of emotions as provided by our solar plexus or third chakra.

What other methods can we employ to keep our chakras full of color? I suggest that we give particular attention to the color of our clothing. That is we can intuitively select the colors of the clothing we wear on any particular day or evening to ramp up our aura or to better fill a particular chakra.

In other words if you feel less than grounded or your self esteem and confidence are flagging, you might choose a red shirt or sweater. Feeling unloved? Bring out the green or pink. Need to fully or forcefully express your thoughts? Try blue to aqua.

Another method of selecting appropriate “refill” colors might be to use a pendulum to dowse some colored cards to get a “hit” on the color that is needed. You could also use the pendulum by asking “is my base chakra red enough?” or “does it need more energy or speed?” You could continue to take an inventory of the basic chakras in that way asking yes or no questions.

One of my friends in Tucson always suggests that you can draw a rainbow with color crayons. The idea is that as you draw and you feel your mouth want to water or salivate that is the color you need today! You may be perfectly balanced in colors or you may find one or more than one color is needed.

Whatever way you use to care for your chakras be sure to give them the attention they deserve. You will feel much more capable in so many areas of your life just because you spend a little extra time on this physical and spiritual health exercise.

I would like to help you with any of your life challenges. I can counsel with you in my Sarasota Florida studio or over the telephone. All appointments are completely confidential. I provide a cassette recording of your session for your later review.

Schedule your appointment today. I am Reverend Lois Cheney, (941)961-2783 or E-Mail: RevLois@gmail.com.

Suppose it is time for exercise. For your body’s sake you go outdoors for a walk or jog. Instead of plugging your ears with your earphones to listen to your personal music mix, try hearing all the various sounds and seeing all the diverse sights of nature.

Immerse yourself in the life essence of birds, trees and flowers. Hear the crickets; see the dew on the leaves. Do you sense a misty aura of life around all things? Bring yourself to focus on the now moment. Mother Earth gladly sends you healing of mind, body and spirit if you care to absorb it.

Being at peace in nature can allow you to access your highest creativity. New ideas and better ways of living begin to flow in with ease. Inspiration is everywhere. As action is called for it takes on a new grace and purpose.

Do you prepare meals for yourself or friends? In the midst of all that chopping, cooking and arranging where are your thoughts? Are you adding special life enhancing energies to the food and the kitchen? If not, why not?

You have access to all the energy you could ever need. Use that ability of yours to channel energy into the most positive vibrations for yourself and others. The rewards may very well surprise you.

A simple thing like taking a morning or evening shower or tub bath can be much more than physical cleaning. Bless the water. Put your mind on the power of the water. See it refreshing your total energy.

Think of the water as removing all miss-qualified energies of your own or those unwanted attachments that you might have accumulated. Know that as that water leaves you, winding its way down the drain and making its way back to the earth, it will be recycled and refreshed.

I recall a dear friend of mine, a Unity Minister in Illinois, used this principle of ‘double duty’ very well! It was back in the days when as housewives we actually ironed husbands’ shirts. I think now everything is wash and wear.

Anyhow, when my friend Dona would iron her husband’s shirts (a job she really did not like) she would see his back, shoulders and arms filled with fresh energy and healing to carry him through the day. What a gift to someone she loved.

If you begin really paying attention to each activity through your day I am certain you will come upon a number of new ideas to turn ‘little’ things into meaningful adventures in Spirit.

You want to live your life fully following your personal path. Because that is true you may have questions about some of your life challenges. My work is bringing answers from your personal guides, teachers and angels to help you actualize your life in depth.

There is good news however. You do not need to identify yourself by your current but passing experiences.

You do not need to call yourself “broke” because you are temporarily without the funds you would like to have.

You do not have to feel “loveless” or “deserted” just because one or two friends or even a spouse walked away.

You do not need to label yourself “sick” because your body is hurting here or there. Why make it worse by announcing to everyone you meet that you are feeling bad?

What you need to do is quite the opposite. With as much enthusiasm as you can muster you need to begin seeing yourself as a wonderful positive creator and manifestor of each of your now moments and your future destiny.

You know that you are made of Light. You are made of Love. You can do or be anything you choose.

You need to begin seeing yourself with all the abundance you could ever need or want. Know that you have more than enough money to spare and to share. Affirm that you are rich. Declare that each one of your financial desires or needs is instantly met.

Furthermore, today you must acknowledge that you are not only loved but loving. The very earth embraces you. Be grateful and appreciate the wonder of love that you are. Daily with gratitude and thankfulness you need to send that love forward to others from the depths of your being. That love you send out will rush back to you magnified a thousand times.

Believe that every nerve and cell in the body is continually healthy and regenerating because in truth it is. Appreciate the gift of overflowing health. Be grateful for it. Send that appreciation and gratefulness to each and every one of your physical organs. Send loving thankfulness to your heart, your lungs, your skin. They are alive. They will hear and respond with increased health.

Possessing your own personal human body is a wonderful gift from Spirit. Why? Because if you will really look at your human body and the life you are leading with that body you can see the results of your emotional and mental handiwork. You will have visual proof of what you believe, what you think about and what you feel.

This body of yours, this life you are experiencing, is your canvas. You paint on it day by day, hour by hour. You make it drab or colorful. You make it happy or sad. It is your lessons, your workbook and your test.

There is no need for you to mirror the past. Whether the past is five minutes past or fifteen years past, let it go. Manifest what you have always dreamed of now, today. Your soul is standing by ready to help.

Habitual thoughts, habitual emotions, habitual attitudes and habitual actions can be your finest friends or your most terrifying and destructive enemies. If any habit of yours is bringing unhappiness and grief into your life experience change that habit today.

When you become aware of a dark and gloomy daydream making its home in your mind do this: say to that thought “THIS IS NOT MY STORY!” Say it again. “THIS IS NOT MY STORY!” Push that thought form away from you.

Of course, you realize that anytime you create an empty spot, a mental vacuum, you must fill it. So go directly to the beautiful happy picture you want. Play your wonderful heartfelt dream over and over until there is no room for the gloom. Play it with sound, color, fragrance any additives you can think or imagine but make it real.

In all aspects you have the power to be brand new today. For instance, we know for certain that each day many of the cells of your body are replaced, made new. Why not allow those new cells to be truly new instead of mere replications of yesterday?

You have the power to change your experience and your body by replacing any habitual negative thinking with positive, growth filled thinking!

If you feel it would help, try falling back on what has worked for you before: the affirmations, the prayers, any positive literature. Begin to wipe your slate clean of any miss qualified energies. Then fill those newly empty spaces with the thoughts and feelings of your soul’s heartfelt desires.

Let the negative mental pathways go. See and feel with positive intent only. In other words, begin to carve new mental and emotional roadways to your personal success.

You have the power and you are in charge. Decide to open your energy receptors to the most enlightened thinking you can create. Throw away any self limits. You do not need limitations of any kind. Tell yourself that you are open to all good things.

What others think or believe about you need not affect you in the slightest. BE AWARE THAT THOSE ENERGIES THAT WILL ALWAYS AFFECT YOU ARE YOUR OWN. The seeds you plant moment to moment are shaping your life. Fear, gratitude, love, resistance all of these are seeds, emotional and mental seeds that will grow and become visible manifestations in your life.

If there is any appearance in your life that you do not like decide to change the attitude, thought or feeling that brought it to you. Truly look at what you are sending out on a daily basis. You are your words and thoughts. Replace your beliefs and you will replace the effects.

A few days ago I read about Meagan Bilodeau. Meagan is an 8 year old girl who put a message in a bottle while her family was enjoying a vacation on a cruise ship near Bermuda. She wrote a note including her phone number asking whoever found the bottle to “please, please, please” let her know. Doesn’t that sound like an 8 year old?

Her father told her to toss the bottle over the side of the cruise ship into the Atlantic Ocean. He believed that her message would probably drift on the currents to Europe and hopefully be found there.

That was not what happened. Meagan was delighted when she received a phone call from another little girl, 10 years old, who found the bottle only 15 miles from Meagan’s home in Falmouth Massachusetts. In other words instead of following the natural ocean currents the bottle with her note seemingly followed the strong energy of Meagan’s “please, please, please” desire.

There is a great deal of TRUTH hiding in that result. Everything we do, everything we say, think or feel always “follows us home.” For that reason alone it pays each of us to be aware of what we are giving to the current of life.

The energy each of us emits tends to grow or amplify and return in a strong recognizable form. Where the results of our lives are concerned there simply are no secret thoughts or hidden agendas.

The good news is that we each contain the ability to change. We can redirect the most negative and ingrained energy to new more positive paths. Nothing is incurable. Every so called personal flaw can be brought to the Light.

You have at your disposal today all the energy you will ever need to create the life you were born to express and enjoy. You have no limits! Take charge of your thinking and your emotions. You have the right and the ability to bring about your own idea of perfection whatever it may be and—WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, YOU ARE RIGHT!
