My journey on this quest, was one I was not expecting, as I was presented with many challenges, that I may not have been ready to face. Although it was extremely difficult to face and I dissect my entire past,And work through many Trumatic situations, and unconscious programming, I will never regret it. I have a quired so much knowledge about the chakras, which I truly believe is so vitally important to our healing and our evolution.So we will start with my breakthrough with the root chakra, and overcoming fear. I overcame this challenge by looking my fear directly in the eye. I had to take a good long hard look at my myself and my life in the mirror. This truly terrified me to the core. I was horrified by what I had discovered. I had to acknowledge all the reasons why I was afraid. I was terrified to see who I was, the life that I had lived, and why I wasn’t wanting to face it. This was not easy by any means for me. All my life I was truly frightened to look in the mirror, Because I despise the person I saw looking back at me. I literally saw myself as a monster. Done through understanding and compassion for myself, I decided to transform fear and to faith. I looked upon myself and my entire life without any fear or judgment, and I took full responsibility for myself in my actions. I am no longer afraid to look at myself in the mirror, because I now truly love the reflection looking back at me. I have also been practicing grounding myself to the earth and now I do truly feel that I am supposed to be here and then I belong here on this planet. My breakthrough with the sacral chakra revolves around overcoming guilt. This was an extremely difficult challenge to overcome Guilt. This was an extremely difficult challenge to overcome. There have been many instances that have led me to overwhelming feelings of guilt. I had so much guilt over my actions and behaviors and the countless mistakes that I have made, throughout my life. It was overwhelming at times, almost unbearable. So to overcome this, I had to recognize,Accept and forgive myself for everything that I have ever felt guilty about and for me that was monstrous. I was riddled with guilt for decades. I even tortured myself over the guilt, that I felt, over my actions and behavior. I think mostly due to the pain, that I inflicted on myself, and others. Also that those who I love the most all suffered the consequences of my actions. This was a hard pill for me to swallow, Knowing that I was the cause of severe suffering to my love ones. I had to overcome the guilt of knowing that I was the one responsible for destroying my whole life, as well as there is. This was almost an impossible task to overcome. Then I was able to see myself through the eyes of compassion and empathy. I saw that I had punished myself enough, and by truly valuing who I have now become, I was able to truly forgive myself and release all feelings of guilt, over my past. I am now able to enjoy myself in the present moment and move forward into the future of my dreams. My breakthrough with the solar plexus chakra came from the release of any and all shame that I was carrying and holding onto. This too, was extremely difficult for me. I was living in shame and blame for as long as I can remember. I was living in shame over the terrible things that I have witnessed, for who I was, and for the horrendous things that I have done. I was living in shame, over horrific situations, And for people that I have been involved with over the years. To overcome this challenge, I had to realize that my past doesn’t define who I truly am, or who I intend to become. Also that no amount of guilt or shame could change what I’ve already done, that there is no way to go back and change the past. And no matter how much I blame myself and Shame myself I would never ever be able to change that fact.I had to let go and change myself in the present moment, to be the kind of person that I truly always wanted to be, and to show up authentically and create the life that I always wanted to live and become the greatest version of myself. I now have a strong will and know the kind of person that I want to be, and embody that wholeheartedly. I recognize the impact that I want to make in the world. I know that I can only control myself and my actions and that is enough for me. And my energy levels have definitely increased overall and I feel better than I have in literally decades. Overcoming the challenge of the hot shocker was no easy feat, I was holding onto monumental amounts of grief in my heart. There was a Enormous amounts of grief that I was Holding onto, over things that I cannot even put into words, and some things, there just isn’t the words to describe the excruciating pain and grief that I have endured. To overcome the substantial amount of grief, I began to open up my self again, and I began to love myself and others unconditionally. I had to bring myself into a space of total surrender and enter into utter and total forgiveness of myself, the world, and to all whom I felt has wronged me, including myself first and foremost..I came to an understanding, that constantly living in grief only prolonged the grief and agony, that only leads you into a deep despair, Misery , and even death of your spirit..I was in complete in utter Darkness, but in that moment I chose love, unconditional love, I chose to see the light and embody it, and love myself again. My breakthrough with the throat chakra came from dealing with my own lies, The lies that we tell ourselves, and by finding my own voice. To overcome this challenge I had to get 100% honest with myself. I had to uncover the ways that I have lied to myself and others. I had lost my voice and was afraid to speak my truth. I use my own words against myself, negative self talk, self-loathing, and denial of the truth. I never felt like my voice mattered,Even when I was telling the truth, because it never seem to change anything. Most of the time I was called crazy and I was not believed anyway. To overcome this challenge I had to re-claim my voice. I have overcome this challenge by speaking my truth and by not hiding behind lies, and by changing the way I speak to myself and others. I’m now not afraid of what others will think and say about it. I live in my truth and I’m not ashamed of my life anymore, and I respect myself for everything that I have been through, to still be standing strong, through it all, because it wasn’t easy by any means. I have learned I only speak truth and that my voice an opinion matters and that I have a right to speak and to be heard. I speak what I truly believe in, in hopes to inspire others, and uplift them. I now consciously think about what I want to say and take pauses when necessary. I speak with transparency to myself directly and inspire and encourage myself every day. I now speak with honesty,integrity, love and conviction to myself and others. I have learned how to communicate better with myself and others. I no longer silence myself in fear of what others will think. I am also a writer and now use and speak power into my words. So my breakthrough with the third eye chakra was to awaken from allusion. This was very tedious, due to the fact that at the time I didn’t even know the fact that I was living in an allusion.This meant that I had to awaken to the reality of the present moment. To me this meant to see things clearly as they actually are and not what I wanted them to be, or thought they should’ve been or should be. I overcame this challenge by excepting my reality for what it truly is, in the present moment. I had to stop living in the past, that has been long gone, or in a make-believe future, that doesn’t exist yet. I had to except myself and see myself as I am now in the present moment. I had to become fully aware of myself and my life, beyond the illusions that mask our reality. I believe that we create illusions to somehow escape reality, I know that I did, because I was unable to face the truth. This was very challenging for me, because I have a wild imagination and I was constantly living in a fairytale future, or I was finding myself living in the past, just to escape the present. I repeated this vicious cycle for many years. I now see that by doing that, that I was truly living in an allusion of my own creation. I now ground myself into the present moment, because this is all we really have, this is real, I now live consciously aware in the present. The challenge of the crown chakra is letting go of attachments. This to,means to me, to let go of control, as well, and to let go of any and all attachments, I had to love ones and to the outcomes of events was, at first, inconceivable for me. I just didn’t think it was possible. I didn’t want to give up this false sense of control, that I thought I had, over others and the outcome of events. To overcome this challenge I had a realize that it wasn’t up to me to control anyone else, and try to manipulate certain situations to obtain the outcome that I desired. I had to realize that everyone is on their own journey and then they have every right to live as they choose and I had to release, any attachments I had, to try to alter or change that. I had to let go of my attachments to the past, that kept me stuck, and to let go of my attachments, to my perception of what I thought the future should be. I had to surrender to the present and take full responsibility for my own life and live free in my authenticity and creativity, co-creating with the universe itself. I am so grateful that I entered this quest with an open mind and then I had the strength and determination to see it through to the end.
This entire quest was very powerful and liberating for me. I am very proud of myself for being diligent in this endeavor. It has changed and transform my life and my being in countless ways, and to me,This is what priceless really means. There is no price on the knowledge and Growth that I have obtained during this quest. I know that this is not the end, this is an extraordinary new beginning! My journey has just begun!
