Last month we were so blessed to have Angela Peterson share
her passion with us about her journey as well as her expertise on the
Chakra’s.
“Chakra” is defined as
whirlpool or vortex. These seven points
of energy have specific colors, vibrations, lessons and sacred truths
associated with them. Angela gave us a
beautiful explanation of each chakra and a story along with each so that we
could easily relate and understand the lesson for each chakra. Angela started out telling us about some
myths, including the one that says “It takes a long time to heal.” She gave us creative suggestions on
challenging our beliefs and asking ourselves if this belief is creating fear or
faith, then we can choose what beliefs serve our highest and best purpose.
I took so many notes that my pen was constantly jotting down
each nugget of inspiration. I will
write a small summary of all the wonderful things I learned. Please note that I was writing so fast and
furious that this is only a small snippet of all that Angela presented and I
hope that I took the correct notes, always check with an expert (such as
Angela) before quoting the below notes……
1st chakra, also known as the root chakra, is
about tribal beliefs. The things you
learned as a child in the very beginning of your life that may or may not be
true. Many of the personality traits,
defenses and “it’s just the way I do things” attitudes come from this root
chakra. The sacred truth is that “All
are one”. I love this thought!!
2nd chakra is about relationships. All relationships are to teach us a
lesson. Watch for the mirror in your
relationships with all those around you.
What you see and admire in others is also within you…. what you see and
it annoys you in others is also within you.
In each relationship ask yourself what can you teach and what can you
release? What an amazing way to look at
each and every relationship we encounter.
3rd chakra is about personal power. This
chakra focuses on how to honor yourself and in doing so, honoring one
another. This power center has a lot to
do with self esteem and our personality.
The sacred truth of this chakra is to honor oneself and acknowledge you
are intuitive. Yes I am!! How about you??
4th chakra is about love, forgiveness and
compassion. This is where our heart is
and it mediates our physical world with our spiritual world (makes total
sense!!) Angela told us that it is
against our spiritual nature to act against love …. Totally loved this!!! She also told us that “Joy is seeing the
Divine in everyone and everything. All
of this energy is in your fourth chakra.
The sacred truth of this power center is “Love is Divine Power.” Mmmmm….. now that’s yummy!!
5th chakra is about lessons related to will and
self expression. This is where we learn
to trust God/Divinity. This is where we
can heal our fear and replace it with faith.
In this power center we can call back pieces of our soul, feel more and
more safe as we heal and relate more closely to the serenity prayer. The sacred truth of this chakra is “Surrender
personal will to Divine will. Awe…. Deep
breath…. Nice!!
6th chakra is all about lessons related to mind,
intuition, insight and wisdom. This is
where we tap into our Visionary. Angela
let us know that this is where we can overcome our fear of change and that
resisting change can actually be harmful to our body. I love her suggestion of, “Let’s make change
beautiful…. Not stressful! Let’s be open
to new life, new perceptions, new beginnings and detach from what no longer
serves us.” Angela also suggested we
really think about our thoughts, she suggests that “Junk thoughts are just as
bad as junk food!” Amen sister!
7th chakra is our Spiritual Connector, also known
as our crown chakra. This is where our
connection to the Divine enters the body and activates all the other
chakras. This power center is about
grace, prayer and meditation. The sacred
truth of this chakra is “Being present” and using the present moment to tap
into your power. OH YA!!
This night was absolutely spectacular and I learned so much
that night as well as just reviewing my notes for this recap. After all this wisdom, Angela guided us into
the most beautiful meditation I have ever been a part of. Her sweet, calming voice invited my spirit to
journey to a garden with a magical waterfall as she went through all the
chakra’s and engaged them within each of us.
I hope that we will be blessed with her recording this beautiful
mediation for us one day. To say the
least, the evening was magnificent and for me it was just that much sweeter as
I visited her the next week for my own personal Reiki session. Angela’s Reiki is more than traditional
Reiki. She combines energy healing that
aligns and balances the chakras with her intuitive gifts of receiving divine
messages. I had a wonderful session and
was once again awed by the beautiful grace of this woman.
To top this all off, Angela is offering a special to our
Women’s Circle of an introductory special of $35 for your first Reiki session
with her. You can find her on Facebook
at The Beauty of Reiki by
Angela Peterson or email her at mystic.owl33@gmail.com

Thank you for sharing so much wonderful information with our circle and
thank you so much for this gift you are offering.
