Affirmation -I open my heart to the beauty and abundance of life.
Wonderful for the heart chakra, regulates higher vibrational energy flows so one does not feel spacey or ungrounded when working to open the higher chakras. Also opens and balances the chakras in the hands and feet, providing a deeper connection with Mother Earth. Assists with issues of abundance and prosperity, eliminating negative beliefs about money, opening the heart to receive.
The heart chakra is where we learn to develop the qualities of love both of the self and of others. Yet it is also where we learn to love all of life and develop a sense of the love and compassion the Universe and Spirit has for all beings. Anodea Judith says of this chakra " Just below the heart chakra is a tiny lotus of 8 petals, the anandakanda Lotus, within which is the "celestial wishing tree". This magic tree, in front of which is a jeweled altar, is said to hold the deepest wishes of the heart- not what we think we want, but the deeper cries of the soul within. It is believed that when we truly wish upon this tree, and release those wishes, it bestows even more than desired, leading to freedom."
What we truly desire is to experience the boundless unconditional love the Universe has for all of creation. Love is the over riding force that leads us forward and allows us to accomplish more than will or passion can alone. One may use the Will for example to initiate a new business or career, but if one does not feel a true sense of love to back the will up, what is initiated becomes a burden and a unique kind of hell that leaves one feeling trapped and stagnant. Love is the energy that allow us to carry on when we feel all other reserves of strength have been tapped, it brings us hope and faith, it allows us to forgive and forget, it brings the promise of a new day dawning.
Love is also the key to the solutions we need when things become challenging in our lives. Fear and worry cause the heart chakra to contract in an effort to protect itself, which then cuts us off from the loving support and wisdom of the Universe and life itself. We can't hear our inner guidance when we are in this state, nor can we feel safe to re-open our heart chakras that the blessings and support can begin to flow more effortlessly again. This essence allows us to feel safe and supported, nurtured and at peace within ourselves. We remember that Life is FOR us, the Universe is FOR us. We have not come here to this earth plane to suffer and struggle, but to remember how to keep our hearts open so that the Universe may help us to grow and expand through joy. There is a wonderful saying I once heard; Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and there was no one there. Love is the energy that dissolves all negativity, turns challenges into blessings and eases worry and concern about tomorrow. Green Tourmaline reminds us that all we have is this day and we have the power within us to create it in any way we so choose. When we focus our thoughts and emotions on those things that bring us a sense of love and joy, then we are automatically operating from the level of the Higher Self and thus only good can be attracted to us.
This essence also supports us in the process of allowing more prosperity and abundance into our lives. Those on the spiritual paths are at a crucial time in their own development. For so long the world has believed that money is the root of all evil, that money is negative and brings only harm and destruction. Many of us on the spiritual path have been taught to believe that in order to be spiritual people, we must forsake money or struggle to learn a living. We have seen how some people have chosen to try and claim all the money for themselves, who believe in greed rather than sharing and prosperity for all. Yet these are choices that some people have chosen of their own free will to make and is not an indication that those who prosper are negative or unspiritual people, far from it! There are many spiritual folks that have overcome their own negative prosperity thinking and have gone on to share what they have learned with others for they understand that money is simply another form of energy and those who are focused on the spiritual, are also apt to seek to help others prosper as well. And isn't this a wonderful thing! Think of it this way: every business that seeks to prosper while being eco and people friendly, every individual that values others and seeks to create win/win transactions for all, every individual who chooses to share some of their wealth with people and organizations that seek to make this world a better place for all of us, brings that much more light and love into the world. It has never been that money was bad or evil, simply that some folks have chosen to use it in ways that were not in alignment with its true purpose. Those who have chosen and still choose not to align themselves with the true purpose of money as energy are coming from fear and their own negative prosperity programming. As each person who walks a light path chooses to overcome their own negative thinking and prosper as a result, so too does this stand as an example of how one can live a spiritual life and experience all the good that life has to offer. The material world is as infused with the spiritual as your own Soul. Even the keyboard I am typing this on is a portion of the Universe in physical manifestation. Understanding that all material energy, be it money or a table or a car, comes from Spirit or Source and that by aligning our energy with this Divine flow we can a never ending supply of anything we may want or need, is what will heal so many of the challenges the world faces today.
There is a simple meditation we can use when working with this essence. Upon arising, take 7 drops and as you do, begin to focus on the power, beauty and love of your Higher Self. Feel this energy pouring through you, through every cell in your body and every thought in your mind. Affirm and intend that for today, you are going to feel your alignment with your True Being, your Higher Self, and that only good can come into your life experience today. Affirm that your Higher Self has already cleared your path, that you are moving into a higher and happier vibration. The higher your vibration goes is dependant upon how willing your are to open your heart to it. Love is the key! Allow the love that your Higher Self feels for you begin to move through you, embrace it and soon life itself will rush to bring you an ever greater abundance of blessings and joy!
