I was alone trapped in a seven year relationship with a drug addict I thought I could fix. Brutal! Frightening! We search for answers everyday of our lives. Yet some of the greatest questions of all time can never be answered by our friends, relatives, or teachers. These questions are answered by taking a journey of pure honesty within. I began this journey at the age of 33. Did you know Jesus died when he was 33? This is said to be an important year in anyone's life. It was the most important year of mine when it came to spirituality. I searched the internet on New Age Spirituality and realized I felt a certain feeling of "at home" with exploring the inner person I was. I paid for a Reiki Course and began my journey to exploring Chakras and healing techniques'. I recall watching Dr Phil show one day and a gentleman was in a difficult situation with his father. Dr Phil said something that day that impacted me deeply. Explaining..we may search our entire life waiting for forgiveness, waiting for someone's approval, waiting for a chance to reclaim someone's friendship, or heal from certain events. What we seek sometimes can never be given to us. Dr Phil's words were, "If no one can help you, you must, help yourself if it is possible."

I began to learn the ways used to enter into the flow of energy our Universe offers us every day of our lives. Take a simple flower and reflect on how one of its vital needs of growth is sunlight. We all know light is energy and we experience light not by touch but by sight. Every living thing on this earth has a energy system. The energy that is available to us from the Universe is similar. All we must do is open ourselves to this energy.

Our human bodies have an energy system. This energy system is composed of seven different areas. These are called CHAKRAS. These areas are in the area of the spine system and control all areas of the body. What an interesting journey this was for me. I seriously felt as though my thoughts were entirely all I was. Having constant negative thoughts about life and how crummy my situation was.

I learned about the seven chakras and began really seeking healing from the Universe. Understanding our chakras are active always and are influenced by things such as water, fire, the earth, and space and create in us physical and emotional feelings and deeply control the result of our health. I began to WANT to be healthy.

In healing and Balancing my chakras and aura energy I graduated with my Masters in Reiki Energy and gained a great sense of the following-

Self control Creativity A willingness to help and serve all living forms Hope Beautiful expression of self without fear Imagination And Happiness

My entire experience has been life changing. The improvements and miracles are great. If you are seeking answers about your own healing and balancing of energy I would encourage you to seek out your own answers. As Dr Phil says you must help yourself if you can. All you need to do is ask the Universe to help you. Its supply is endless. Have fun exploring!
