Meditation can seem like an elusive practice, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a negative mindset. If you've ever found it challenging to sit still and focus on your breath, you're not alone. This blog post offers a fresh perspective on how to ease into meditation and discover its profound benefits, even when it feels impossible.
When I first heard about meditation, I couldn't help but be skeptical. The idea of sitting quietly, breathing, and expecting all my wishes to come true felt unrealistic. Like many others, I struggled with the practice. My mind would race, and I quickly became uncomfortable, frustrated, and self-critical. It was like trying to hold my breath underwater—manageable for a few seconds, but then panic would set in.
I realized that I needed to approach meditation differently. Instead of viewing it as a rigid practice with high expectations, I decided to think of it as something more natural and relaxed. I needed to stop labeling it as "meditation" and drop any preconceived notions. Instead, I focused on simply relaxing—something I already knew how to do well.
I discovered that the key to making meditation approachable was to start with what I was already good at: napping. I set up a peaceful space in my home, informed my family that I was going to "meditate" (which they jokingly knew meant taking a nap), and simply allowed myself to lie down and relax. There were no expectations or pressures. I just focused on my breath and let myself drift off if that’s what happened.
At first, my thoughts would flood in like water rushing down a drain, but instead of fighting them, I observed them without judgment. Over time, I committed to this practice, doing it when I was naturally tired—first thing in the morning, during the day, and right before bed. This made the process easier, as I wasn't trying to meditate when I was wide awake and full of energy.
As I became more comfortable, I transitioned from lying down to sitting in a chair, keeping my head tilted slightly forward. I still focused on relaxing and breathing, reminding myself that I was just chilling, not trying to achieve anything profound. Surprisingly, this approach led me to experience what I call the "sweet spot"—a state of stillness where I felt tingling sensations and a sense of being plugged into something greater. This wasn’t something I had read about; it was a personal discovery that made meditation exciting and rewarding.
Now, let’s put emotions aside and take a look at the science of meditation. The primary purpose of meditation is to help us step out of survival mode—those feelings of worry, fear, anger, and distrust that keep us stuck in a state of high alert. When we're in this mode, our brains are operating in a beta frequency, where we're constantly analyzing and reacting to the world around us.
By slowing down our breath during meditation, we begin to shift from this analytical state to a more relaxed, subconscious state, often referred to as the alpha frequency. This shift allows us to access a deeper part of ourselves, where we can let go of old beliefs and tap into new possibilities. It’s like switching channels from a limited, known reality to something expansive and new.
Understanding the science behind meditation transformed my approach. I realized that by simply slowing down and focusing on my breath, I could change my brainwaves and, in turn, my life. This practice helped me become more aware of my body and mind, allowing me to catch old patterns of anxiety and tension before they could take over.
Meditation isn’t just about achieving goals or following trends; it’s about connecting with your true self. It offers the space between you and the outside world, giving you the freedom to respond rather than react. This space is where you can find your true potential and inner light, and that’s something worth making time for.
As you continue your meditation journey, remember that you are not your body, emotions, or thoughts—you are light. So start shining and give yourself the gift of meditation.
If you want to explore this topic further, I highly recommend Joe Dispenza's book Becoming Supernatural. It offers deep insights into how you can connect with your untapped potential and live a more fulfilling life.
Until next time, keep shining.

Ascension seems to be a buzzword right now, but what exactly is it, and what happens when you begin your ascension journey? In this post, we’ll dive into what spiritual ascension is and explore some of the common symptoms you might experience along the way. Let’s get started.
Spiritual ascension refers to the awakening of spiritual energy within your body and energy field. We often go through life as if we’re in a dream, filtering everything through our ego—focusing on the past, obsessing over the future, and letting old programs run the show. But once you ascend, you gain a simultaneous awareness of your individual self and its connection to everything around you. This awareness is our ultimate goal.
When life force energy awakens within you, significant changes can occur on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Ancient practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido, yoga, and meditation are known to awaken this energy. However, sometimes this life force energy awakens spontaneously, leading to what is known as a kundalini awakening.
Maybe you’ve had a spiritual awakening before—perhaps during a retreat, in the middle of a yoga class, or even while dancing the night away. Whatever triggered your awakening isn’t the focus here; instead, we’re exploring what happens after that flood of high-frequency light enters your dense physical body. This awakening of your spiritual energy can range from mild to intensely overwhelming. And when I say intense, I mean intense.
Common signs of spiritual energy awakening include energy rushes, tingling sensations throughout your body, changes in sexual libido, heightened awareness, and a deep sense of cosmic interconnectedness. On the flip side, more challenging symptoms can also arise, especially if ascension wasn’t something you intentionally sought out. You might experience mood swings, mania, physical hypersensitivity, or even altered states of consciousness.
Don’t get me wrong—ascension is a powerful and positive experience. But it’s important to remember that while it may feel good initially, there will be times when you need to navigate the challenges that come up. This is just part of the process—the natural ebbs and flows of life.
Let’s take a more scientific approach to understanding this. As you begin to raise your vibration and activate your consciousness, you’ll start attracting and pulling in more light from the cosmos. This high-frequency energy is rich with knowledge and connection. It helps transmute your physical body into a light body, which simply means becoming more present in your physical form.
Let me walk you through what often happens, starting with your first energetic layer—the physical level. As this high-frequency light interacts with your body, it stirs up old programs and dense energy stored within. This light slowly heats up and burns away all that old, stagnant energy.
For me, this process made me feel really unstable at first. I became hyper-aware of how tense my body was, as if I was subconsciously trying to hold onto my old programs and identities. But as those toxins began to flush out of my system, I started feeling lighter. It was a rollercoaster of emotions—feeling great one moment and overwhelmed the next. It’s important to drink lots of water to help move these toxins out of your body.
Next, let’s talk about the emotional level. When ascension shakes up this layer, it activates all those old feelings we’ve buried deep inside for years. It can feel overwhelming emotionally, but this is normal. My advice is to give yourself the space to fully experience any emotions that come up, without judgment or fear. Allow yourself to release these feelings, knowing that you are no longer trapped by them.
In the mental, energetic level, ascension brings old thoughts and beliefs into our awareness. The key here is to notice them without judgment. Instead of being harsh on yourself, ask: Does this belief resonate with me? Is this story helping me move forward in life? Do I really need to attract all this drama?
This is where you can really start to listen and become aware of your belief systems. It’s a powerful moment because you can begin to question these beliefs and make new choices that better serve you. For me, this space feels like freezing time. I can slow everything down in the moment and consciously choose a better path instead of just reacting on autopilot like I used to.
I hope this post helps you realize that you are not alone in your ascension journey. Many people on the planet are going through similar experiences right now. If you want more support and information, consider joining my mystical membership, where you can ask questions and gather tools to help you on your journey.
Remember, you are not your thoughts, emotions, or body—you are light. Stay connected to that truth, and embrace the journey of ascension with an open heart.

Congratulations on making it to part two of the beginner's guide to spiritual alchemy! I’m so proud of you for sticking with this journey because those first four stages can be really challenging, especially if you're not fully aware of the process. But you made it this far, so let's dive deeper into becoming your very own spiritual alchemist.
Before we move forward, let's briefly revisit the first four stages of spiritual alchemy discussed in the previous blog post:
These stages are crucial as they lay the groundwork for the final three, which bring you closer to aligning with your true self.
Now, let's explore stage five, known as Fermentation. This is where the old programs begin to break apart, similar to how sugar ferments into alcohol. The key here is patience, as this stage can feel subtle compared to the previous ones, leaving you in a sort of limbo where you may not quite know who you are or what you should do next.
During Fermentation, old beliefs might resurface, but they won’t have the same power over you. This is a time to let go of any limitations and heavy baggage you’re still carrying. The process can be broken into two parts:
This stage is about confronting your fears consciously, raising your vibration, and preparing to create the life you truly desire.
Next, we move to Distillation, the sixth stage, where you continue refining your vibration. This is a deeper purification process, where old emotional programs are further distilled, leaving behind your authentic essence. Think of it like separating salt from water in a science experiment—what’s left is pure and clear.
During this stage, you might find yourself creating more space between stimulus and response, allowing for new, more conscious choices. Living mindfully and incorporating daily meditation can help you navigate this stage, along with activating your five senses to stay present.
Finally, we reach Coagulation, the seventh stage of spiritual alchemy. This is where everything solidifies, and your true self emerges fully integrated. Your consciousness connects with higher energies, and you move beyond duality. Mind, body, and soul come into harmony, allowing you to become the gold of your own alchemical process.
In this stage, your higher self and true purpose will come through in new, powerful ways. You are no longer bound by old programs or traumas. Instead, you have the space and clarity to shine as the golden light you truly are.
Now that you have a deeper understanding of the seven stages of spiritual alchemy, I hope this guide helps you on your path. Remember, this journey is a spiral—there’s no end, only continuous growth. Be kind to yourself, set your intentions, and do what’s best for you, whatever that looks like.
You are not your body, emotions, or thoughts—you are that golden light. So allow yourself to shine as brightly as possible.
Until next time, I’m Marisa Grieco, your mystical guide. Keep shining!
Hey guys! Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of the throat chakra—what it is, its gifts, and how to recognize it when it’s blocked. Do you feel as though no one ever seems to hear you? That’s one of the signs that your throat chakra might need some attention.
From a young age, I knew something was off with my ability to speak up. I was that kid in class who desperately wanted to raise my hand and say, “I need help!” but instead, I stayed silent. I told myself I’d figure it out later, even though deep down, I knew I needed support right then and there. As you can imagine, this led to some struggles—failing assignments and getting in trouble all because I couldn’t ask for help.
I thought I’d outgrow this as I got older, but nope. It wasn’t until I started exploring chakras and self-healing that I realized I had a seriously blocked throat chakra. Anytime I had a great idea or belief I was passionate about, I’d feel stuck. My excitement to share with the world would suddenly fizzle out, and self-doubt would creep in. It’s like my authentic voice was trapped.
Looking back, it’s almost funny—after all, I even forgot to create an episode on the throat chakra! My mind was like, “Nope, too painful, let’s avoid that.” But I knew it was time to face those old beliefs and patterns. It was scary and uncomfortable, but I reminded myself that I was on the right path. I had to be kind and patient with myself as I worked through it.
The throat chakra is the fifth energy center, located—you guessed it—in the throat. When this chakra is in balance, expressing your thoughts, feelings, and ideas comes easily. You can share your beliefs and emotions without hesitation, bringing your personal truth into the world and standing by it. This chakra is also the gateway to your clairaudient abilities—the gift of hearing higher frequencies. I have a whole video on that if you’re curious!
So, how do you know if your throat chakra is blocked or out of balance? Here are some questions to ask yourself:
If you answered yes to any of these, you might have a blocked throat chakra. But don’t worry; I’ve got some tools and tricks to help you clear and heal this energy center.
One of the most effective ways to unblock your throat chakra is through creative expression. Before you start a creative project, set an intention, like “I’m beginning to heal and release any trapped energy in my throat.” Then, dive into something that makes you happy—whether it’s drawing, writing, or painting. The key is to get the energy moving, bringing more light into your body.
Journaling is a fantastic habit that can help clear the throat chakra. My husband actually got me hooked on this—he wrote an entire book by journaling five pages every morning, just letting his thoughts flow. This process helps release heaviness, frustrations, or anything that feels overwhelming. As you write, you move the energy in your throat chakra, reconnecting with your higher self and positive beliefs.
Singing is another powerful way to shift energy blocks in the throat chakra. Whether you’re singing along to your favorite song in the car or in the shower, just get used to hearing your voice more loudly. It’s not about being a perfect singer; it’s about moving energy. If you’re into mantras, try repeating a specific sound associated with the throat chakra, like “hum” or “yum.”
Sound healing is known for its therapeutic and healing qualities. Specific frequencies, like 741 Hz or 192 Hz, are great for empowering and activating your voice. These sounds can also inspire creativity and help clear your throat chakra. Remember, it’s all about what resonates with you, so pick the frequency that feels right.
If you’re into crystals, blue gemstones like Lapis, Azurite, or Aquamarine work best for the throat chakra. You can hold them, wear them as jewelry, or keep them in your space as reminders to clear and activate your throat chakra.
Exercise is another excellent way to get the energy moving in your throat chakra. Yoga, Qi Gong, or even simple movements like the cat-cow pose with the lion’s breath can help clear any blockages. As you start to move this energy, you might experience side effects like coughing, tingling in the throat, or even hot and cold flashes. This is just your body adjusting, so drink plenty of water and get some rest.
One thing I’ve noticed now that my throat chakra is clear is that I can physically feel when someone around me isn’t speaking their truth or has a blocked chakra. My throat will start to close up, almost as if warning me that something is off. Another discovery I’ve made is that even when I’m writing if I make an error or something feels off, my throat will tighten up as if it’s shutting down. This sensation has taught me to slow down and check in with myself to see what’s not aligning. This simple trick has saved me more than a few times.
That’s the amazing thing about our energy centers—they’re always on our side, helping us gain insights before our logical mind even figures out that something is amiss.
These are just a few suggestions to help you start moving the energy in your throat chakra. Love your voice, let it be heard, and be kind to yourself. If you’d like more information, you can download worksheets and listen to guided meditations on my website. Until next time, I’m Marisa Grieco, your mystical guide.
Gratitude is a powerful emotion, but learning to truly embrace it can feel overwhelming, especially when starting your spiritual journey. If you grew up in an environment where gratitude was more about guilt or shame, you might find it challenging to connect with the genuine feeling of being thankful. Phrases like "Be grateful you have clothes" or "There are starving kids in the world, so eat your food" might have left you feeling more burdened than blessed. But what if you could shift that narrative and tap into the real power of gratitude? Let's explore how to do just that.
When I first tried to practice gratitude, it felt almost impossible. I was stuck in old patterns, unable to see beyond my immediate circumstances. My mornings would start with a mental loop of negativity—feeling like a victim of my own life before even getting out of bed. The laundry on the floor, the mess in the house, and the cold air made me want to stay under the covers. Sometimes, I'd even reach for my phone, seeking out something—anything—that would justify my bad mood. It wasn’t laziness; it was a deep-seated comfort in those familiar emotions.
Our thoughts have a powerful impact on our emotions, and those emotions, in turn, trigger a chemical response in our brain, reinforcing these patterns. Breaking this cycle required me to trick myself into forming a new habit—one of genuine gratitude.
Knowing that I needed to make this process easy, I started with something I loved—my morning coffee routine. This was already a time of joy for me, so it was the perfect place to introduce a new practice. Here’s how I did it:
This daily ritual did more than just improve my mood—it began to rewire my brain. Practicing gratitude consistently helped me create new neural pathways, shifting my mindset and energy. The more I practiced, the more natural it became, until feeling grateful became my new normal.
One of the most significant benefits of this practice is how it impacts both your energy field and your physical brain. By regularly engaging in gratitude, you’re not just changing your mindset; you’re physically altering the structure of your brain, making it easier to maintain these positive feelings.
To help you start your own gratitude practice, try this simple exercise: Every day, ask yourself to name three things you’re grateful for, three people who love you, and three people you love. The key is to come up with different answers each day, which encourages your brain to constantly seek out new positives in your life. You can even try this with your family at dinner—share your answers and see how it transforms your daily interactions.
If you're interested in diving deeper into this topic, I'm hosting free office hours every Tuesday at marisagrieco.com. It's an opportunity to chat with me over Zoom and share your experiences with gratitude. I’d love to hear how this practice is working for you!
Remember, you are not your thoughts, your body, or your emotions—you are light. Embrace your brightness, live in gratitude, and be true to yourself.
Until next time, I’m Marisa Grieco, your mystical guide.
Have you ever wondered where you are on the spiritual map? When we embark on the journey of enlightenment, we often start with a feeling of euphoria, only to find ourselves facing our deepest fears soon after. This can be daunting, but it's all part of the process. Think of it like being in the middle of a tunnel, where darkness seems to close in around you. Yet, as you navigate through, there's light at the end, signaling the birth of a new you.
In this post, we’ll explore the nine phases of spiritual transformation. Understanding where you are on this map can provide guidance and comfort as you navigate this profound journey.
The first phase marks the beginning of your spiritual awakening. Here, your spirit starts to merge with your body, and you begin to sense that there’s more to life than meets the eye. The veil between the physical world and higher dimensions becomes thinner, and you start to wake up to a new reality.
During this phase, you may find yourself becoming curious about things like the supernatural, astrology, or meditation. It's a time when you start prioritizing how you feel over how you look, focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and tuning into your spiritual self.
As you move into the second phase, your body begins to adapt to higher frequencies. This adjustment can stir up unresolved emotions and cause physical discomfort. You might experience intense emotional shifts, from anger and sadness to vulnerability and frustration. It’s important to remember that this is just a phase, and it won’t last forever.
Physically, you might notice sensations like tingling in your palms or a vibration around your body. Mentally, you may find it hard to concentrate or remember things, leading to a loop of exhaustion. But as you become aware of your thoughts and emotions, you’ll start to understand that you have the power to shift them, allowing more light into your energy field.
In the third phase, your energy field can no longer hold onto old programs and subconscious beliefs. These begin to surface, bringing with them memories and traumas that need to be addressed. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed during this time, but creating an aware ego—a space where you can observe these emotions without judgment—can help you navigate this phase.
Many people get stuck here, clinging to their old identities and past traumas as a way to feel safe. But by recognizing these patterns, you can choose to let go and embrace the unknown, opening the door to new possibilities.
The fourth phase is where you hit a glass ceiling. Your ego resists change, holding onto old habits and beliefs, even when you can sense that transformation is just within reach. This resistance is a natural part of the process, but by acknowledging it, you can begin to push through and move forward.
In this phase, you start to shed your old skin. The excuses and patterns that once defined you no longer resonate, and you find yourself ready to surrender to something greater. You’re excited by the unknown, guided by your higher self as you move into a new, expansive reality.
Phase six marks a turning point. Here, you stop fighting your ego and start living in the present moment. You begin to experience a deep sense of peace, fullness, and freedom as you reconnect with your core energy. Your mind, heart, and body align, and you become more receptive to guidance from your higher self.
In the seventh phase, you undergo a rebirth. You no longer need to convince yourself that you can achieve your goals—you simply know that you can. You understand that everything is connected, and you feel a sense of oneness with the universe. You’re no longer influenced by the energies of others, and you maintain healthy boundaries while remaining open to new experiences.
As you continue to evolve, your relationships and family dynamics begin to transform. You gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things and use your energy wisely, both giving and receiving with ease. This phase brings a new appreciation for the balance of opposites, like the yin and yang, as you navigate the rapid changes in your life.
The final phase of spiritual awakening is where love becomes a tangible force in your life. You feel free, unlimited, and connected to both space and time. You live with a childlike curiosity, fully present in your body and heart, and you can access infinite knowledge and energy. This is where you realize you are an eternal being, living in harmony with the universe.
Understanding these nine phases of spiritual transformation can help you navigate your journey with greater awareness and compassion for yourself. Remember, you are an energy being, continuously evolving and returning to your true, high-frequency nature. Even if it takes nine phases to get there, know that you are light and on the path to enlightenment.

We’ve all been there—trying to feel better about ourselves by writing down positive affirmations, only to find it doesn't quite hit the mark. I remember covering my house with Post-it notes, jotting down my desires on the mirror, and hoping to manifest that perfect life. But despite my best efforts, something just wasn't clicking. I tried everything, and eventually, I gave up, thinking that maybe positive self-talk wasn’t for me. That’s when I stumbled upon a little trick that worked like a charm. In this blog, I’m going to share what I learned to help you start feeling better about yourself so you can attract and manifest the life you desire. Let's dive in!
I was really ready to try anything to create the life I wanted, but I knew that first, I had to change myself. I had to let go of those old, limiting thoughts and become someone new. So, I turned to popular strategies I found online—writing out positive thoughts 15 times a day, setting a schedule, and even finding someone to hold me accountable. I thought, “This is what professionals do. I’m ready to take charge!”
But as I began writing, the only thing that happened was that I felt tired, cranky, and completely detached from the words I was repeating. It felt like I was in detention, repeating lines I didn’t believe in. Instead of empowering me, it brought out my rebellious side—the one that doesn’t like being told what to do, even by myself!
Despite my best intentions, it just didn’t work. I was talking about someone else, not the person I truly was. And how was I supposed to create my goals from that self-limiting mindset? It was exhausting, and I knew I needed something different—something that resonated with me on a deeper level.
What I realized was that my logical mind, as practical as it might be, was too slow and dense to keep up with my desires. I needed a little spark, a little magic to propel me forward. That’s when I discovered energy medicine, and it was like a light bulb went off. I’ve always been drawn to the mystical side of life, so when I could see, sense, and experience the energy in something, it moved me forward so much faster.
On this journey, I found an exercise by Jim Self, an incredible teacher in mastering alchemy. He talks about “living words” and the energy and vibration that words and thoughts carry. He explains how these high-frequency words can create a platform—a new program from which to manifest your goals. This concept was priceless to me because simply writing my dreams down wasn’t enough. I needed to upgrade my energetic blueprint.
What really helped me was finding words that resonated with me—high-frequency words that I could feel in my body. You see, just like how negative words can bring you down, high-frequency words can elevate you. They build a new platform, just for you, where you can stand tall and manifest your dreams.
For example, words like confident, certain, powerful, abundant, courageous, dedicated, and creative made me feel like I was getting an energetic upgrade just by saying them. The key is to pick words that make you feel good inside because that’s where the magic of manifestation lies. Your emotions are magnetic, and when you feel good, you attract good.
Now, I’d like to share a simple exercise to help you anchor these high-frequency words into your energetic blueprint:
You can repeat this exercise with each word on your list. Take your time, feel the energy, and let it become part of your new blueprint.
This energy is always accessible to you. Just take a moment to call it up whenever you need it. I recommend checking in weekly to refresh your energetic platform and continue upgrading your blueprint. This way, you’ll stay aware of those old, automatic programs that try to sneak back in and can consciously choose how you want to feel.
You can even use this technique to set the tone for your day, before meetings, or when you need an extra boost of positivity.
Writing down positive traits or affirmations isn’t going to work if you don’t believe in the words you write. Instead, by building an energetic platform, you align yourself with the vibrational field that truly resonates with you. This method allows you to project your intentions into the world, making the laws of attraction work in your favor.
Remember, your emotions are magnetic. So, change your magnet, and watch how your reality transforms. I hope these exercises inspire you to explore new ways of reaching your goals and manifesting your dreams. And if you have any tricks or suggestions, I’d love to hear about them!

Do you find it challenging to connect with others? Do you sometimes feel like a loner, unless there’s a delicious plate of pasta involved? Or perhaps you’re easily overwhelmed by the energy of those around you, to the point where you unconsciously mimic their behaviors or even accents? This mirroring can stem from a desire to connect or fit in, but it may also indicate a lack of solid boundaries or an inability to maintain one’s own energetic identity. If any of this resonates, you might be unknowingly tapping into your fourth energetic layer—one of the powerful layers in your aura.
In this blog, we’re going to dive deep into this often-overlooked aspect of our energetic being. We’ll explore how understanding and resetting this layer can transform your relationships, both with others and, most importantly, with yourself.
Before I understood the importance of this energetic layer, I felt like I had a bouncer guarding my personal space. Imagine a nightclub bouncer with a clipboard, carefully deciding who could get close to me. It seemed logical to protect myself this way, but in reality, it was exhausting. I was constantly checking others’ behaviors, gauging how much love or connection I could allow into my life based on external factors. This approach left me feeling caged, unhappy, and disconnected. The breakthrough came when I realized that the power of this frequency was already within me—I didn’t need to seek validation or permission from anything outside of myself to let it shine.
As I began working with my fourth energetic layer, everything changed. This is where the magic happens, as this layer is deeply connected to our heart center—our heart chakra. It acts as a bridge between our physical and spiritual layers, enabling us to access deeper levels of consciousness and create healthier, more loving relationships.
Our energetic field is composed of seven layers, each connected to different aspects of our existence. The first three layers are tied to the physical, emotional, and mental realms. They operate within the third-dimensional physical world. The fourth layer, however, is where things start to shift. When activated, it forms a bridge to the spiritual dimensions, giving us access to the higher planes of existence.
This fourth layer is connected to the heart chakra, which serves as a projector, while the energetic field around it acts as a screen. When this layer is activated and vibrant, it’s like a radiant cloud of light surrounding us, extending about a foot away from the body. However, when blocked or burdened by negative emotions like fear or resentment, it can appear dense and dark, trapping old energy and making us feel heavy or uncomfortable in our own skin.
The fourth energetic layer is not just about connecting the physical and spiritual aspects of yourself—it’s also a powerful tool for personal transformation and healing. When this layer is healthy and active, it can profoundly influence your emotional and psychological well-being. Here are some of the benefits you can experience by working with this layer:
One of the most powerful gifts this layer offers is the ability to harmonize our physical and spiritual selves. Before I understood this, I felt like two different people—one connected to the spiritual world, the other confined to the physical. This disconnect was confusing and exhausting. However, by treating the fourth layer as a bridge, I learned to let energy flow freely between these aspects of myself, bringing a sense of unity and peace.
To heal and activate this layer, it’s essential to get energy moving throughout the body and do so with clear intention. Here are some effective ways to achieve this:
As you focus on this layer, you may begin to experience flashes of heightened intuition or even clairvoyance. This is because all the energetic layers are interconnected, and clearing one layer often leads to shifts in others.
Activating and nurturing your fourth energetic layer is a journey toward embracing your true, mystical self. It allows you to connect deeply with others without losing your sense of self, and more importantly, it helps you to love and accept yourself fully. As you become more attuned to this layer, you’ll find that you have access to an unlimited supply of energy and love, which you can share freely with those around you.
I encourage you to explore this aspect of your being and to share your experiences with me. I’ll be posting guided meditations on my website to assist you on this journey, so be sure to check them out.

Ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain stuck? Maybe it feels like you're either constantly judging others or struggling with low self-esteem. If these emotions resonate with you, your Solar Plexus Chakra might be out of alignment. This energy center, located in your stomach area, is responsible for your personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. When it's blocked, it can throw everything off balance.
In this post, I’ll share five simple yet effective tips to help you unblock your Solar Plexus Chakra and restore your inner power. These steps are part of my personal routine whenever I feel like my life is spiraling out of control. Let's dive in!
The Solar Plexus Chakra, also known as Manipura, is the third of the body's seven main chakras. It's closely linked to your sense of identity, willpower, and personal authority. When this chakra is balanced, you experience self-confidence, clear decision-making, and a strong sense of purpose. However, when it’s out of sync, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy, indecisiveness, and even physical issues like digestive problems.
Emotionally, this chakra governs your ability to take risks and assert yourself. It influences your capacity to set boundaries and stand up for what you believe in, without feeling the need to dominate or control others. The Solar Plexus Chakra is also tied to your relationship with fear, particularly the fear of rejection and criticism. By nurturing this energy center, you can transform these fears into empowerment and resilience.
Visualization is a powerful tool to realign your Solar Plexus Chakra. Start by placing your hands over your stomach, where the chakra is located. Close your eyes and imagine a bright ball of yellow light glowing in this area. As you take a deep breath, visualize this light growing stronger, filling your entire body with its warmth and radiance.
Imagine this yellow light spreading throughout your body, wrapping every part of you in its empowering glow. See yourself standing tall, speaking confidently, and making decisions with clarity. Hold on to this feeling of empowerment and success. It’s not just a visualization—it's your reality in the making.
Affirmations are a great way to reinforce your newfound sense of self. After your visualization, stay in that calm and focused state. You can say these affirmations out loud, write them down, or even repeat them silently in your mind:
These affirmations will help you internalize the confidence and power that your Solar Plexus Chakra radiates.
Physical movement is essential to keep your Solar Plexus Chakra in balance. Activities that involve transportation, like walking or jogging, are particularly effective. If you’re not a fan of exercise, start small—take a walk around the block, or maybe walk your dog. Every step counts, and soon you’ll notice how much better you feel.
Crystals are another fantastic tool to support your chakra work. My personal favorites for the Solar Plexus Chakra are Citrine and Tiger’s Eye. You can wear them as jewelry, carry them in your pocket, or place them on your desk. Just having them around can help you stay aligned with your intentions and boost your inner strength.
Essential oils are a wonderful way to tap into your Solar Plexus Chakra. Scents like Bergamot, Cardamom, and Sandalwood can serve as gentle reminders of your affirmations and your inner strength. Whenever you catch a whiff of these oils, let it remind you of your power and the confidence you’re cultivating.
When your Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced, you’ll find it easier to make decisions, set boundaries, and maintain a healthy sense of self-worth without undermining others. It’s the key to feeling confident and empowered in all areas of your life.
If I could go back and give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be to connect with this inner power sooner. It's always been there, waiting for me to tap into it. Now that I have the tools and practices to maintain this connection, my life has transformed in ways I never imagined.
Remember, this journey is yours. Take it slow, and soon you’ll unlock your full potential, stepping into the life you’ve always known you were meant to live.

Introduction: Understanding the Causal Chakra
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a loop, repeating the same thoughts and behaviors without making progress? It could be a sign that your causal chakra is blocked. Known as the moon portal, the causal chakra is part of your trans-personal energy system, located outside of your physical body. This chakra connects you to higher dimensions and plays a crucial role in raising your consciousness and inviting spiritual meaning into your life. In this blog post, we’ll explore the causal chakra, how it affects your energy, and what you can do to activate and unblock it.
What Is the Causal Chakra?
The causal chakra, often described as a glowing white center resembling your personal moon, is closely connected to the divine feminine energies of love, intuition, and compassion. It bridges the gap between your higher spiritual chakras and your physical body, pulling these powerful energies into your four bodies: physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental.
This chakra is positioned slightly outside your physical head, between the crown and soul star chakras. When activated, it unites with your vertical power column, drawing down energy into your physical head, and creating a beautiful light around it. This process is essential for your ascension, helping you become both a transmitter and receiver of high-frequency energies.
The Impact of a Blocked Causal Chakra
When your causal chakra is blocked, you might find yourself trapped in old patterns of self-judgment, guilt, or regret. These negative beliefs and programs make your energy dense and heavy, pushing you further away from this vital energy center. As a result, it becomes harder to manifest your dreams and receive guidance from the universe.
A blocked causal chakra also means that your connection to your higher self and the divine is weakened, leading to repeated experiences and relationships that reflect your unresolved issues. Clearing these old beliefs is essential for activating the causal chakra and moving towards a more unified, higher state of consciousness.
Signs of a Blocked Causal Chakra
If your causal chakra is blocked, you'll notice that you keep attracting the same types of experiences and people into your life. You may struggle to let go of old patterns, feeling like you're stuck in a negative loop that keeps replaying. This blockage can make it difficult to access the higher energies and frequencies necessary for spiritual growth and manifestation.
Imagine moving your hand through mud—dense, slow, and challenging. That's what it feels like when you're stuck in your old programs and beliefs. But as you begin to clear these blockages and bring higher frequencies into your body, it's like adding fresh, clean water to the mix, washing away the dense energy and opening the flow of light.
Connecting with the Causal Chakra
To begin working with your causal chakra, you can use tools like crystals, meditation, and visualization. Crystals such as moonstone, selenite, rutilated quartz, and clear quartz are particularly effective. Place them either above your head or below your feet during meditation to help get the energy flowing up and down your spine.
A simple meditation to connect with the causal chakra involves focusing on your breath and visualizing the energy building in your thymus. As you breathe in and out, imagine the energy traveling up the back of your head to your causal chakra, then looping down the front of your body to the root chakra, creating an infinity symbol with your breath. This practice helps you reconnect with your light body and clears the pathways for higher frequencies to enter.
Conclusion: Embrace the Journey
Unblocking and activating your causal chakra is a powerful step towards spiritual growth and a more fulfilling life. By clearing away old beliefs and patterns, you open yourself up to new energies and possibilities, allowing you to manifest your dreams and feel more connected to the universe.
Remember, this journey is ongoing, and it’s okay to take your time. Each step you take brings you closer to unlocking the full potential of your causal chakra. Together, we'll explore this process further in upcoming posts, breaking down the information to make it more accessible and easy to integrate into your life.
