Higher Vibrations and Healers Need the Lower Chakras MORE
I was out grazing my goats… a neighbor is very generous in saying it’s fine for the goats to graze in his open field. The dual benefit-drawback.. is that I need to stay somewhat in attendance while they are grazing. I can usually work a horse or teach a riding lesson, and keep them in sight. But there are times when the benefit aspect is just sitting or laying out in the grass– constructively doing nothing. Pretty sweet deal.
One summer morning while I was out in the field, stretched out in that perfect spot between sun and flickering shade… I spent a while grounding and meditating– by which I mean a relaxed flow of thoughts that were coherent and interesting. I had a few mini aha’s and insights…
The first one was in reference to the lower chakras… As most healers know.. the vast majority of people stepping into their spiritual awakening are all over-focused on the “ higher chakras.” I also went through this.. process.. or journey.
Somehow it seems that the “higher chakras” are better, or more important.. they are a “higher vibration,” our connection to Source, or spirit, or cosmic energy-vibration. THAT is the “good stuff.” And we spend an awful lot of time sucking all that “higher energy” into our energy bubbles. I don’t know if this is because we really do still live in a paradigm that likes to rank things.. some being better, superior, or more desirable.. than others. Most light-workers are very top-heavy.. stuck in their “upper bodies,” or as we might call them, dreamers.. with their heads in the clouds, etc. This is not to pass judgement, simply to note that the metaphors we use to describe people…. really does reflect the energetic paradigm that is playing out.
What I realised that morning… is that, like the colours in a palette, or the rainbow– which the chakras mirror… each colour has its place role and function.
Additionally, what I added that morning, was.. the absolute importance of the “ lower chakras.” and wow- we even refer to them as lower chakras.. and by which linguistic association.. lower is inferior.. lower grades, lower levels of a building are less desirable than a penthouse, etc. I am sure you could come up with several of your own associations on that, yourself.
BUT… the lower chakras.. they are the physical chakras. If you consider the body, even where they are located, they are more strongly connected and relate to the physical organs of digestion, organ function, and elimination/grounding. We NEED those chakras. Especially the healers and light-workers… it is one thing to have an idea, a concept… but the same way the body needs physical calories in order to be a top performing athlete.. the light-worker NEEDS to strengthen those chakras in order to make anything HAPPEN.
Synchronicity is like electricity, it needs a closed circuit.. a ground to complete the circuit. And anyone who has animals and electric fencing can appreciate that the best fencing is useless if it is not a full circuit, or if anything is grounding it out, as we say.. the stray branch will interfere just as much as if it were broken completely.
So… all the upper chakra development and elevation won’t help the light-worker to make things happen in their lives. Their vision will remain in its dream-stage.. a concept that stays up in the upper atmosphere and chakras… without the meat and muscle of the lower half.
I remember years ago, when I was still learning my path, I had an association that if you had to work on your lower chakras…. it was like that was your “level”.. no one wants to stay stuck in 1st grade.. we all want to be graduate students. So I think there is a tendency to gloss-over those foundations. But this couldn’t be less true. I understand now, that having a block in a lower chakra, for example.. can mean the higher chakras are all tuned and honed like a higher performance race car. That one’s personal vibration is not insulted or diminished by doing the work on the lower chakras. An athlete would not exercise one leg and not the other.. or just the upper half of the body without the lower. But all too often, that is what light-workers tend toward.. energetic paraplegics.. whose lower half remains under-developed or dismissed as less important/ relevant. Would you feed your body in such a way that nourished only some organs, and not others? That is what we do, when we dismiss the vital importance of the whole energetic spectrum and energy field. Want to manifest something, but can’t? Chances are it is because the physical-oriented department is out of shape.
As an offshoot, I had another insight– which may be relevant only to myself, but since it was connected to this thread, I thought it might tie in in some way. I remember when I had had a discussion with someone about light-workers working with ascended masters.. I was told I was currently working on the 2nd ray (of seven).. or it might have been the 5th. I remember when I had read the different items.. the 6th had resonated more for me.. as had the 7th/8th rays.. I realised this morning.. as a light-worker.. the ray I might be working with, and the associated Ascended Master.. might have nothing to do with my own personal developmental level.
It could very well be like the teacher who chooses a grade level to teach, because that is an area they already know well. Of course it could also be that, while they know that area…. it could just have been the cosmic niche that was open and needed filling. A vacancy… or a bigger “need” for people working with that ‘level.’ so again, I have found that it is imperative not to hold onto our human, and especially Western paradigm, and unconscious concepts of levels and assessment. Where we have chosen to be.. may have little or nothing to do with our spiritual maturity/ evolution/resonance. Or it may…but not in any way we might perceive it to be. The universe is a very funny place, that way. The trick is to be able to “do the work,” that is presented to each of us… and be able to detach from any self-assessment around it. It might be part of our inner work, it might be our “cosmic community service.” Either way.. attend it with love and compassion– because it is, ultimately.. the work we have chosen or agreed to do.
I am an Education Specialist, Health Coach and Author. I work with aspects of the teachings I have learned from Andean shamanic and cosmology, to health, nutrition and education. Everything is energy. Energy must flow. Like water, when it does not flow, it stagnates and is not healthy. These techniques help your life to flow. I have been initiated into many of the ancient lineages and learned ceremonies, rites of passage and healing techniques. I have worked as a healer and done workshops and taught some of these aspects – passing the teachings on.
