The card that I pulled for you this week is GUILT. We are working on the second chakra which is orange and is located below your belly button. This chakra is all about being happy and feeling deserving.

The chakra this week for healing is the 2nd chakra:

Color: orange
Location: below the navel
Affirmation: I deserve to be happy.

Question of the Week

Am I giving away too much time and energy and resenting it? Is my anger really guilt?

Affirmation to Empower You

I attract like-minded people who love and support me.

1. The Legend – Saint Apricot

Our legend this week is the Legend of Saint Apricot. She truly is a saint. She goes the extra mile for everybody putting her own needs on the back burner. People are walking all over her and taking advantage of her but she is just this saint loving, giving and sharing herself for others.

She often invited people into her business who were freeloaders because she was trying to do a good deed and help people. One day one of her new business partners decided that they should dissolve the company and split the profits.

But the company was really all hers and she did all of the work and the “partner” barely even showed up. The moral of the legend, what happened to Saint Apricot is that eventually she no longer gave 150% of herself but she only gave her excess. She didn’t tap into her own personal reserves, she only gave what was left over after she took care of herself.

2. Honesty is Freedom

Guilt is actually fear of being disliked.

What happens with guilt, brings us to our question this week:

Am I giving away too much time and energy at my own expense and then feeling resentful about that and feeling guilty.

Resentment turns into anger and anger turns into guilt because you’re supposed to be doing this great thing and having this open heart but instead you’re mad and resentful.

It’s important this week that you really take a close look at what you are giving away that’s actually from your reserves, energy that you need for yourself.

Also, you want to be brutally honest this week. It’s okay to put yourself first. It’s okay to redefine your relationships and how you’re showing up for other people.

3. Personal Power

We moved into Mercury Retrograde on 10/31 so we are in this retrograde energy for the next 3 weeks which is all about renewing, reviewing, resetting, reevaluating all of those “re” words that is what the energy is about this week and healing that 2nd chakra of deserving.

Do not do for others what they can do for themselves.

You’re not helping them you are actually interfering with their path. That was a hard lesson for me to learn and you don’t want to enable others because that’s what happens is that you get into this horrible habit of enabling other people in your life.

This week is about taking back your personal power, making YOU a priority in your life and taking care of yourself.

Our meditation today is going to help clear out that second chakra so that you can really stand in your power and be honest with people in your life.

Three tips to Overcome Guilt & Heal your 2nd Chakra

Our 3 words that are designed to support you in healing your 2nd chakra is:

1. Awareness

Be aware of how you are feeling when you are helping and serving others. Is there joy and satisfaction or do you feel like you’re being taken advantage of and people keep expecting more or nothing you do is ever good enough?

2. Awakening

As you awaken to the truth of your feelings it is important for you to honor them by expressing yourself before you blow up. Find a good time where you feel safe and empowered. Research says that mornings or days off are best to have a personal conversation or to confront someone, by the end of the day most of us are tired and feeling a bit run over by life. So pick a good time and start the conversation “soft” by complimenting or saying something that’s working and then when their heart is open and you feel comfortable express how you really feel deep down inside.

Remember, unprocessed emotions often show up as disease in our body. Louise Hay says cancer is caused from unprocessed resentment.

3. Release

Honor your feelings by sitting with them. When you feel angry or guilt don’t run and hide under busy work but sit with them and feel them without criticism or condemnation. After a few moments place your hand on your heart and say, thank you so much. Thank you for this opportunity to learn and grow and love myself more. Then take a deep breath and feel the release.

Meditation  “Overcoming Guilt”

Take a deep breath and close your eyes if you can.

I want you to imagine chains holding you down. We know those days when it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.

Now I want you to relax, take another deep breath and you notice that as you relax the links begin to weaken.

Take another deep breath, and with every deep breath you take with every exhale that you make the chains slowly begin to fall off and they land with a THUD.

You can see and hear the chains slowly loosening their grasp on you. Each time you hear that THUD the guilt and any resentment or fear that you have about standing in your power dissolves with that THUD.

And now when you are free, when the chains are no longer binding you I want you to get up. Get up and walk into a beautiful glowing orange apricot light.

Breathe into this light and feel it reinvigorate you and redefine how you show up for yourself and others.

Now in the comments below I want you to tell me….

What happens next?

What happens after the light comes?

I can feel your spiritual teams all around each and every one of you. Beautiful messages and inspiration. If you don’t get anything right now it’s coming! Pay attention throughout the day, night, in the morning it is coming.

And again, in the comments below tell me what happened next. I will circle back around and show up for you.

This meditation is going to help you heal and clear any blockages in that 2nd chakra this week.

Remember, you have a plethora of angels uplifting and inspiring you daily. Ask and be open to receive their guidance.
