One of the more exciting things about energy healing is the opportunity that it gives us to channel a variety of energies from Mother Earth and the Universe. We can learn to use energy meditations to connect with the Zodiac, bringing certain qualities into our personality or our environment. For example, if we want to bring love, friendship or tact into our lives, we would channel the energy of Libra, or the planet Venus. Gemini and its ruling planet, Mercury, help with negotiation skills and mental agility. Each of the 12 Zodiac signs and their ruling planets has specific spheres of influence. Energy Healing itself is simple, but because the planets are so powerful, it is best to begin by preparing our physical and emotional bodies to receive all of this energy! Step 1: Take Care Of Yourself
Think about how you felt after the last Full Moon. Some of us feel tired while others are full of energy. This is because the Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth is strong. It influences our energy levels, emotions and even our sleep patterns. If we are not well rested, well fed and in reasonably good shape, the same energetic overload is likely to happen when we channel Venus, Mars or Jupiter, or work with the Zodiac for healing. Simple suggestions include catching a full night's sleep, eating well and drinking plenty of water, as intuitive energy is said to travel through the body's water reserves.
Step 2: Lay The Foundations With Chakra Healing
Most of us have heard of the Chakra System - those wheels of light that are situated along the spine of the human body. There are seven main Chakras in the body, beginning with the Root Chakra at the base of the spine, and working our way up to the Crown Chakra at the top of the head. Each of the seven main Chakras is said to influence a different sphere of our lives, ranging from economic stability, our appetite for life and personal power, even our communication and critical thinking skills, as well as a host of intuitive abilities.
When it comes to astrology and planets, the most relevant Chakras are actually located outside the human body in the Aura (details below!), but we need to strengthen the primary seven before venturing out. A simple chakra healing meditation is all we need to get started. My personal favorite is Elliot Jay Tanzer’s guided meditation for grounding, clearing and centering our energy {Amazon}. In an ideal scenario, we would prepare by following a chakra meditation daily for one month, and weekly thereafter. We also have smaller chakras on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet, which are often used in healing, or to enhance crystals with planetary vibrations. Step 3: Activate Your Earth Star
In addition to the seven main chakras that sit along the central column or spine, we also have several outer chakras. Two of these are especially important when it comes to working with the planets and the Zodiac for self-healing. The first is known as the Earth Star Chakra, and it is located about 6 inches below our feet. It gives us stronger foundations by connecting us with Mother Nature, which is essential if we want to channel the planets in our solar system without toppling over, energetically speaking. Activating this Chakra also makes it easier for us to feel the energy in crystals, which will come in handy when we begin to work with planetary healing & crystal magic.
Activating the Earth Star Chakra is easy! All we need to do is walk in the park, ideally with lots of trees, and visualize a star shining brightly beneath our feet. We can also visualize this star in our Chakra Meditations. Step 4: Awareness of the Soul Chakra
The Soular (Solar) Chakra is located about six inches above the head. It provides a direct link to the planets in our Solar System, as well as to any issues that we may have carried forward from past lives.
When it comes to channeling energy from planets or the Zodiac and integrating it into our lives, those energy healing sessions will be much more effective if the Soul Star Chakra is shining brightly. That said, it is best to let this powerful energy center awaken on its own, so as not to destabilize our energy field. The following visualization will gradually awaken all of your Chakras:
This meditation activates the energy body gradually. The next step is to connect with the planets as they transit their rulerships in the Zodiac (or the Moon, in any sign) to download that energy. With this in mind, let's get started! We have three months to flex our Chakras before the next entry on healing with planets.
