Your Heart Chakra – the Core of your Self
Your heart chakra is mystical and magical.
Your heart chakra is over your physical heart. It regulates energy flow the same way your physical heart regulates blood flow. Your heart chakra is all about love, healing, and connecting with others.
This is where you heal – yourself, your family and friends, those around you, the planet, the entire universe even.
When you heal from your heart, energy ripples out, sending healing to everything in its path.
The center of your lymphatic system is also located here. This allows you to use your heart chakra to clean your energetic body, environment, earth, solar system, universe.
Energetically, this is where your body regulates blood flow, lymph, and energy flow.
Think of your heart as an organ pumping blood throughout your body. It is also an endocrine gland releasing hormones to regulate blood pressure and help keep your cardiovascular system healthy.
Another endocrine gland, the thymus, is located behind your sternum. Your thymus is an immune gland that helps you connect with others and heal.
Wake up this connection gland and chakra by tapping your thymus gland daily.
You store affection, heartache, healing, compassion, self-love, and empathy in your heart chakra..
Do you want to get to know your heart chakra better? Practice random acts of kindness.
SPIRITUAL GUIDES
I cannot write about the heart chakra without including goddesses of love. There are many, as many as there are ways to describe the many facets of love.
We don’t always refer to them as gods and goddesses. Sometimes we think of them as saints, angels, or spiritual guides. Whatever word you prefer, these special beings help us all. Each one puts a unique face on this complex subject.
I’m focusing on two: Quan Yin and Mother Mary.
The best way I know to describe these two spiritual beings is to use words that apply to each one, for they are different.
Quan Yin – Quan Yin is a Buddhist Goddess of mercy. She is a symbol of motherhood, virtue, and peace and focuses on universal compassion.
People the world over have been following Quan Yin for many, many years.
She is traditionally attracted to places where it is appropriate to cherish a situation. Quan Yin activates healing power.
She is a symbol of sacred knowledge, wisdom, self-development, purity, enlightenment, and empowerment.
Followers believe Quan Yin bestows support, protection, and blessings when you ask.
MOTHER MARY – This mother of Jesus is relentless and constant as a healing force of love. As modern as tomorrow, she is a friend, companion, sister, spiritual mother and teacher.
When appropriate, Mary liberates us and heals us. She is a steady rock carrying the sorrow of every person on every part of the globe.
Mary is the ultimate New Age Woman, showing us how feminine principles work for all of us. She carries her message of enlightenment to children and adults alike.
Mary’s way is attracted to subdued situations. She lifts up and lets things be. She is gentle or forceful – depending on the situation. Mary is happy to rejoice and be loved as well as loving others. She offers trust. She is joyful. Mary knows about patience.
WORKING WITH YOUR HEART CHAKRA
There are different ways to heal your heart chakra. Use visualizations, meditations, and change some old habits. Practice yoga, use crystals and essential oils. Adjust your diet. Embrace reflexology and Reiki therapy.
Use what resonates with you.
If you experience physical problems, consult with appropriate professionals.
You have many options.
Go for gods, goddesses, angels, saints and guides. There are many, available to you. I chose Quan Yin and Mother Mary because I am comfortable with them.
A TWO-PART SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEMS
If you seek a solution to a problem which seems too challenging, this information may help you. I’ve used the following method many times and I’m always happy to share it with anyone seeking a good answer to a thorny problem.
Begin with 2 clean sheets of paper and a pen or pencil. Write the word “yes” at the head of one paper. On the head of the other paper, write “no”.
Now, carefully define your situation while you explore all the solutions “for” (Yes) and all the solutions “against” (No).
List all the “yeses” and all the “nos” on the appropriate papers as they make themselves available to you.
Take your time with this. Think your options through.
When this exercise is over, which side of the argument has the most entries?
I feel confident that one side will have more items listed than the other.
Now is the time to connect with a higher power.
Sit down someplace where you feel safe and comfortable. Breathe deeply and calmly. Breathe in, allowing healing light to flow inward. As you breathe out, allow tired and negative thoughts to leave your body.
This breathing is preparing you to get rid of old ideas and invite in fresh, new insights and solutions.
Allow this healing breath to touch every part of your body. Feel your body embrace the newness of the healing breath and the coming solution.
Invite your goddess, guardian angel, or spiritual guide to join you in this space. Sit calmly and expectantly.
Take a few moments to focus on your situation and how you want to find an appropriate answer. Absorb this situation and the coming solution physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
After a few moments, take this time to share your inner thoughts about your situation with the wise being you may find sitting beside you.
Whether or not you see the spiritiual being beside you is a detail. Your situation is an opportunity to grow.
Let your guest advise you about how to manage your situation. Accept the advice you receive while you seek a solution.
Embrace the suggestions which can help your situation, your solution, and your self.
See yourself on a journey from a challenging situation to a good outcome and a positive path. See yourself embracing the new solution and the changes which will bring it about.
You feel it is time to go. Give thanks for the shared wisdom and generosity you just received. Offer gratitude for the journey you’ve been on.
Make plans for you two to meet again if you need more guidance.
Return to your present time now. Give yourself time to absorb the wisdom you received.
Shift your awareness to your physical surroundings where you began this experience. Be here now and in this environment. You are wide awake and alert. You feel wonderful and are at peace.
Are you closer to a solution? Can you accept it?
SAINT THERESE – THE LITTLE FLOWER
Several years ago, I managed a food pantry that fed many people. It seemed to me that I confronted problems without solutions.
One evening I read a story about Saint Therest, the Little Flower. I read about people finding roses when they studied the works of St. Therese.
The following morning, when I unlocked the door to the pantry, I found a rose on the floor.
Seeing this rose opened my eyes.
I didn’t expect to see a rose or anything else on the floor. For sure, I didn’t sleep walk over to the pantry in the night and put a rose on the floor.
I wasn’t asking for favors. I merely read about her life.

Are you fat, frazzled and exhausted? – Have you thought about your Endocrine system?
I never even thought about my endocrine system until I went to Potomac MyoTherapy Institute. And, even then, I wasn’t sure what it was. It wasn’t until I practiced reflexology and Reiki therapy that I really became involved with how important the endocrine system is.
So I have some questions for you:
Do you sleep poorly?
Do you get colds and other infections easily? Are they hard to kick?
Are you depressed, anxious, or irritable?
Has your sex drive disappeared?
Do you have clawing pains on your legs?
Are you worried about a heart attack?
That’s a lot of questions, but, really, if you are tired, anxious, overweight, or in pain, you may have an issue with your endocrine system.
There are many endocrine systems glands. The three most likely to cause problems are your thyroid, adrenal gland, or reproductive glands.
In many cases these deficiencies can be easily diagnosed and safely treated. After you’ve discovered the issue and corrected it, you can feel like a new person again.
I know I did.
Before my underactive thyroid was discovered, I was a walking zombie.
I went to bed at night exhausted and did not wake up feeling any better the next morning..
I was forgetful and couldn’t focus.
I gained a lot of weight and couldn’t lose not even one ounce.
My muscles ached and I couldn’t lift much.
My skin and hair were dry, dry, dry.
I was cold – always.
And, these were just the problems I had with my thyroid. Even so, I never really appreciated my endocrine system until I struggled with my thyroid.
Fortunately, I stumbled on a physician who saw my situation for what it was and I got the pills. And, that is not to say there were no problems along the way. I’ve been overmedicted, undermedicated, and not medicated over the years.
Overall, the pills are doing their job. Regular reflexology sessions helped – a lot.
Your endocrine system is much more than your thyroid. Your endocrine system includes glands located throughout the body which normalize how your body works and communicate with your chakra system.
Your endocrine system is the most spiritual system of your body. When a reflexologist focuses a session on the endocrine system, the session can have long lasting, transformational effects.
When one or more of your endocrine system glands is stressed or unbalanced, your whole being knows it. Why? Your endocrine system glands manufacture hormones which control your life. If a gland produces too much or too little of a hormone, your body knows about it. That’s because your glands regulate every other system in your body.
When even one gland doesn’t work, everything is out of balance. Your entire body is bothered. Even your chakras are affected.
That’s my take on it anyway.
And, there are several glands throughout your body – all of which work together. Or not. I used my thyroid as an example.
I’m not suggesting that everyone has an unbalanced thyroid. Other hormone imbalances include adrenals, estrogen and progesterone imbalances, and testosterone.
Do you think you might want to learn more about your endocrine glands? They are interesting. Even their names are interesting: parathyroid, pineal, thymus, pancreas.
Ongoing reflexology and Reiki therapy sessions encourage homeostasis which will work to balance your total body. But, you may need more support than a weekly session.
Have you ever visited an endocrinologist?
I’m always amazed at the number of people who have never made an appointment with an endocrinologist. Actually, most of them never really ever heard about endocrinology.
Your body begins to break down from the effects of an unbalanced endocrine system. An exhausted endocrine system can and does produce a long list of symptoms because an exhausted endocrine system can produce problems with other systems: your immune system, your digestive system, your circulatory system, your… You get the picture.
The bottom line is that you are finally unable to deal with life’s challenges.
There comes a time when you may be ready to get to the heart of the matter. When this happens, and you discover the cause of your problems, you may begin to feel like a new person.
You are ready for a happy, healthy, natural ending to your story.
