Chakra Mastery: Altruist Archetype

I've always felt like I came a little late to the party, out of synch with those around me.
It felt like everyone had it all figured out, living the happily ever after. There I was trying
different things, taking all sorts of classes, exploring new avenues yet not really clear about
where I was going with all this seemingly unrelated interests and experiences pulling me along.
There was a part of me that knew to just keep following my heart.

I studied nursing and learned about the human body and healing with traditional medicine. I
studied environmental engineering and learned about nature, natural forces, human impact on
them, and healing the earth. I studied alternative health and learned to work with the mindbody-spirit flow for holistic healing. I studied energy medicine and learned the human energy
system and healing with energy. The common thread was healing and the integration of all
systems in order to uniquely empower each individual.

The interconnectedness of what I have learned allows me to fully step into my soul purpose
passionately. I know that as we move forward in this time of great change we must look at the
whole picture and what that means for us individually and collectively. We must learn to
master tour own Human Energy System in order to navigate quickly, efficiently, and
successfully through these changes. It is the key to unlocking our greatest potential.

At the core of the Human Energy System is the chakra

system.
They are a series of energy vortexes that process energy and are connected to the
meridians or energetic pathways that move through the body, the energy points where the
meridians cross commonly known as acupuncture points.

The chakras connect with the subtle energy bodies that make up your aura, and the web of
energy often referred to as the matrix of collective consciousness. This is the very basic
synopsis of the Human Energy System.

This report will give you a basic knowledge of the 4th chakra, what it is, how it functions,
and how it affects your life.

There are hundreds of minor chakras throughout your body, much like in your circulatory
system the major components are your heart, veins, arteries, and blood; within that system
are more intricate subsystems. The same is true of your energy system.

Each of the 7 major in body chakras are tuned in to a particular physical and emotional
aspect. The out of body chakras are more focused on the movement and processing of the
different types of energy.

Just like we have preferred dominant hand We all have a preferred dominant chakra this
provides an energetic profile that forms our perceptions . There are many factors that play
into your energy profile and though it's foundational it is not a static thing it can change and
evolve with you.
This is the beginning of a journey in self discovery, self healing, and self realization so
sit, back relax, (you can't get it wrong!) and enjoy. Apply what you learn fine tuning it to suit
your unique situation and needs. I'm happy to be sharing the journey with you.

Namaste',
Cathy

The fourth chakra is the heart chakra or Anahata. It's located in the center of the chest.
This chakra is where your emotional attachment to others resides. Its where love in all its
forms is held. This is the center that where you balance your ability to give and receive love.
This is the energy for interacting on an emotional level with others as well as how you manage
your emotions internally. The essence of this chakra is all about inspiration, hope, trust, self
acceptance, and generosity.

Feelings and Emotions

Love is the basis for all human experience. The heart chakra is focused on love, compassion,
generosity and trust. When we connect with the power of this chakra you give and receive love

freely no strings attached. This is where you hold self acceptance which is the foundation for
loving others.

A well balanced heart chakra presents as healthy balanced emotional attachments with others.
There is also the ability to see the good in others as well as in yourself. This is where forgiveness
and compassion flow from. The heart chakra is the center of the chakra system. This is where
you integrate duality. Things like: mind/body, light/shadow, male/female,
individuality/connection are all harmonized here.

Blocks in the Heart Chakra can result in,

Persistent Thoughts of:

Being unloved

Something missing

Having been tricked or fooled

Not being able to get enough of someone

Not wanting to share(things, time, people)

Patterns of Behavior:

Possessiveness

Seeking outside approval

Jealousy

Martyrdom

Distrusting of others

In many cases an under active heart chakra can show up as a lack of compassion, martyrdom,
possessiveness, a cold distant demeanor, and/or a feeling of being unloved. It can also show up
as constantly looking for a sense of self externally.

The overactive heart chakra can show up as angry, jealous, or stingy behavior. It can also be
exhibited as distrust of others and a pervading feeling of being taken advantage of. An over
active heart chakra can also result in suffocating others with love.

Physical

The heart chakra balances the heart, circulatory system, lungs, breasts, shoulders, arms,
hands, and blood. Some of the physical symptoms associated with the heart chakra are:

Circulatory issues

Breast Disorders

Lung infections

Asthma

Shoulder problems

Respiratory issues

Blood disorders

Activities to Activate the Heart Chakra:

Learning something new

Romantic movies

Reading heartwarming stories

Realigning and Cleansing

If you are experiencing difficulty in any of these areas focusing on the heart chakra with your
breath and some extra cleansing may be of value(in conjunction with your current plan) getting
the energy moving.

When you breathe into the heart chakra visualize green light infusing the chakra and gently
move it, either with your hand or by visualizing it, counter clockwise then clockwise. Adding the
following affirmation:

I release any sense of unworthiness, resentment, and distrust.

I am open to the flow of inspiration, love, and hope.

I easily and effortlessly balance duality and offer forgiveness to myself and others.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

Am I feeling trapped or closed in?

Do I feel envious or jealous of others?
Am I afraid of being rejected?
Do I have trouble accepting myself unconditionally?

If you answered yes to any of the questions you may have a block in the heart chakra. You can
cleanse and realign the energy in your heart chakra by doing the cleansing above or any activity
that feels right to you. You may want to change the affirmations using the language you used
when answering the questions.

harmony.

Chakra Mastery: Altruist Archetype

Strengths: Your strong suit is love, unity, and joy. You are compassionate and see forgiveness as
an act of love. You have a strong sense of being loved and guided. You naturally read
relationships and people around you because you're able to sense the energy exchanges
happening behind the scenes. Trusting in yourself and those around you is a strong value for
you.

Weaknesses: You can struggle with fear (the opposite of love) and isolation. There is also a
tendency to 'give yourself away' by putting others needs ahead of your own. If you do not allow
trust to guide you, you can become possessive.

Money: Your financial situation often mirrors the state of the relationships in your life. The
Altruist sees money as a means to an end. It's a tool that can be used to make a difference. If
you're struggling with money look to where you are struggling in your relationships and apply it
to your finances.

Career: Because of your compassion and loving nature, you are well suited to careers that are
relationship based, like healing, medicine, counselling, and human relations. Be sure to work in
an environment that fosters trust.

What's Next?

Now that you have the basics down, what do you do with it? There are numerous ways to
apply this information in your life with real tangible results (talk about making the invisible
visible!). I'll cover the top five ways to apply this to your life.

1. Take a look at your primary Chakra Energy Profile. How do these qualities support or
hinder you? Is it situational; more evident in certain relationships, at work, or at home?
Make note of where your attention is drawn. What feels true for you, what does not, and
what are you resisting?

Now take a look at your supporting Chakra Energy Profiles; go through the same process.
Are there areas you want to enhance or reduce the energy? Focus on these areas when
doing your chakra cleansing either drawing more energy in or slowing down the flow.

2. Look at an area you have a recurring problem or struggle in. Now take your lowest scoring
Chakra Energy Profile and see what qualities you could enhance to help you come to a
solution. For example, if the 5th chakra was your lowest, how is communication showing
up? Is there a way to bring greater clarity to your communication both speaking and
listening?

3. Think of a goal that you want to achieve. What qualities will you need to help you achieve
that goal? Draw on the energy of those chakras to infuse your goal with the energy of those
specific qualities. For example, if you want to attract a relationship you may want to draw
on the energy of the solar plexus chakra so you stay confident in who you are.

4. Look at your work life; are your values being expressed? Are your strengths being utilized?
Look at how you can shift your perception to expand how you see your work. What are your
intentions behind your work? Consciously draw energy into the chakras that will support
you.

5. Cleanse your chakras daily. Just like you shower, brush your teeth, and comb your hair your
chakras need regular cleansing. It doesn't take long a couple of minutes of consciously
moving the energy through your chakras will do wonders. Not only will it keep the energy
moving, it will also connect you with your energy field making it easier to tell when there is
a disruption.

Tuning in to your Human Energy System is a vital of part of a successful well balanced life. It
has far reaching effects and does not take a lot of time. As you explore, you maybe be surprised
at what you discover and how easily it's incorporated into everyday life. As you adapt and
expand on your practice I would love to have you share any new ways or adaptation that you
