Opening Chakras For Psychic Work

Each chakra is associated with a physical, psychological, emotional, mental, spiritual and psychic aspect. Opening chakras to develop psychic awareness will naturally trigger any unfinished business, issues, challenges and gifts in these areas. For instance, opening chakra one – the root chakra, will stimulate your survival instincts and bring up any issues you have about your security, money, home, and career. But it could also intensify past and present physical ailments around the base of the spine, legs, and kidneys. You may experience some discomfort in the root chakra region. When this chakra is stimulated you can experience a tingling feeling in the legs and buttocks.

The gift of the root chakra is “knowing” who you are, being in the here and now, nurturing yourself and allowing yourself to be nurtured by others. Spiritually the root chakra grounds you and keeps you present. Essentially you are spirit in a physical body, but in order to be of any spiritual use you have to be grounded and live in the present moment. This is where your power is.

Your Psychic Gifts

Each chakra is associated with a psychic gift. The root chakra is your ability to stay grounded and bring information from another dimension into this dimension. The sacral chakra opens you to Empathy and Intuition. The Solar Plexus is an enormous powerhouse, the gateway to the intelligence of spirit. This is the chakra you use to sense on an instinctual level – gut feelings. The heart chakra is the balance, the fulcrum between the earth and spirit energies. This is the center of compassion, healing and the art of Psychometry. The Throat chakra is your center of expression. It is associated with the mediumistic skill of Clairaudience meaning Clear Hearing because energy travels between the throat and the small chakra openings beneath the ears. This is also the chakra of Channeling and Inspirational Speaking. The third eye the sixth chakra is the center of dreams, imagination, psychic sight, and Clairvoyance, which includes precognition. The crown chakra connects you with spirit and the higher self.

Intention

Before you begin the practice of opening your chakras for psychic work you need to have the right intention. Opening yourself up psychically is like opening your front door and inviting strangers into your home. You need to send the right message into the universe and to spirit.

Your intention in this instance is to open up your sensitivity in order to fully develop your psychic skills for the benefit of helping others. One of my teachers, Ivy Northage who ran one of the most sought after psychic circles in England, said that when she interviewed people for her development class she would ask why they wanted to develop. If the reply was anything other than the desire to help others she would not accept that person into her group. So intention is paramount.

Meditation

Meditation practice is a large part of psychic development. It should be done sitting up preferably in the Egyptian position. When you lie down you might tend to fall to sleep. Some people fall to sleep because they are not used to being with themselves and they cannot cope with it. Problems with meditation can also be resistance from your ego mind, an unconscious resistance to something related to the area of irritation or pain you might experience in your body.

Keeping Your Chakras Clear

Make it your goal to do your psychic work before a big meal or at least 2 hours afterward. In any psychic development you will be working with the chakras. The solar plexus chakra a storehouse of energy and ideally should be clear of any blockages. Literally on a physical level this means food. I do not eat for at least twelve hours before I work and fast while working. This may not work for you so I am not suggesting that you follow my lead, this is not the only way to work. Do whatever is right for you provided it is within the parameters of the universal law of spirit.

Protection

Always protect yourself when you open yourself up on a psychic level or whenever you meditate. Again you are opening the psychic door to various dimensions of energy and who knows what kind of energies will be attracted to your light.

It is a good idea to get into the practice of protecting yourself, regardless of whether or not you are working with your psychic centers. Check the meditation page. At the beginning of the meditation you are taken through a room cleansing process that includes cleansing and protecting your energy field with light. Light is one of the greatest protectors, as is love. Remember no darkness can live in the light. Once you have opened your chakras for psychic development you can tend to open them up whenever you think of psychic work or read psychic books or have a conversation about psychic experiences. Your chakras are like a balloon. Once it has been blown up it is easier to blow it up again. 

Closing Down Your Chakras

Your chakras react to intention. If your goal is psychic development then they will react accordingly. This means your chakras open wider to allow a higher intensity of energy to flow through them. If you were to leave the chakras exposed in this way all the time you would eventually become drained because you would be picking up too much energy. For instance, imagine you watched television all day, all night and then continued into the next day. Your eyes would become sore. This is similar to how your chakras react when they are left open.

You are also in jeopardy of absorbing negative energy because you are unable to adequately protect yourself as your own energy diminishes. Once your energy drops in this way it is also difficult for your doorkeeper guide to protect you. Working with your psychic mechanism holds many responsibilities discernment being one of them. Be aware that your psychic centers are living instruments of your spirit and your doorway into a multitude of dimensions. It is your duty to use them appropriately. Closing your chakras therefore is a major part of psychic awareness. 

Psychic Group Work

It is advisable if you intend to develop psychically to work with a group. Group work can help you to focus the energy and helps you to develop much faster. The support of a group will also help you to understand some of the sensations and experiences you encounter.
