Chakra Issues: 4th

Patreon 2.23.23

Now we switch to a different application for the chakra system, that of diagnosis. So let’s talk about diagnosis for a minute. Diagnosis is a gift, on the one hand, and a curse, on the other.

When anyone has a collection of uncomfortable symptoms, having a name for them — a diagnosis — can feel like a relief. That’s the gift, a certain reverse peace of mind. The logic goes like this: at least if I know what this is, I also know what it isn’t. This is what makes us say, “My …”

That “my,” whilst comforting is also limiting. That little word “my” changes everything. With that one notion, we own our disease. Do you really wish to own your … whatever symptoms might be yours? Probably not.

That said, we’ll continue with the Main Issues and Challenges for the Green Heart Chakra.

Bear in mind that these are general, and that they can affect you on four levels of your being: Body, Heart, Mind, or/and Spirit.

The main issues of this fourth chakra are:

Beliefs about love & relationships

Inner child

To love and connect

Rather than detail each one, think a minute, Beloved. Are there areas of your life wherein you wonder about your personal love? About your abilities to be loving and to be belovèd? Where you doubt you’ll be able to keep your inner vulnerabilities safe? Where love, done in a less-than-healthy way compromises your integrity — your own wholeness?

Those are fourth chakra issues, and need addressing as soon as you can because these issues are the measure of how good you are at giving and receiving in your own life.

Two aspects of these issues tend to be sticklers. First, your beliefs — or, what you were told love was and what you observed love was in adults around you. Beliefs about relationships mess more with connection than anything else. The second is learning to discern when, if, and with whom to risk reaching out to connect. This one has to do with how safe you keep your inner child.

If you’re concerned that you have fourth chakra issues, the first, easiest, and simplest thing you can do is make sure you can see a rich emerald green in your world at all times. [Origami paper works well for this.]

Or, you can wear just such a green.

Or, you can imagine a brilliant green light treatment of the water you drink, and take it in that way.

Give it three days of “green” treatment. Do you feel better? Differently? Good. It’s working. Keep at it.

Tomorrow, we’ll have a look at the main issues/challenges of the Turquoise Throat Chakra.
