Chakra

So what are chakra? The simple way to think about chakra is to understand them as the main way that energy flows through your body, just like blood flows through your vessels and veins and electrical signals flow through your nervous systems. There are 7 major chakra that run down the mid-line of the body, from the top of your head down to your groin.

The chakras are the main energy centers the body, which spin like vortexes. Here, we process our feelings, beliefs, and experiences. We also receive and transmit energy (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) through these centers. Each charka has distinct characteristics, and affects specific emotional, spiritual, mental and belief systems, as well as the biological systems anchored in those locations.

These 7 chakra are the major focus of most energy channeling disciplines, where energy such as Reiki is used to replenish, balance, and improve flow of each chakra and for the system as a whole. When the chakras are open and balanced, vital life force energy flows through easily. When they are closed or blocked, this can affect the person's health and vitality

Percy Update

The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and we had planned on getting more posts in than what has happened. One reason is our new puppy, Percy. Percy is now 4 1/2 months old now and continues to be a handful. His last weight was 70lbs. Here is a recent picture of Percy enjoying one of his hobbies - eating from the trashcan. This time, the trashcan fought back.

Aura

In continuation of the postings that go over some energetic or spiritual terms that might come up in a professional healing setting, we will discuss is Aura.

What is an Aura?

The aura is a field of energy (a spiritual bio-field) that completely surrounds you. Everyone has one and it extends in all directions around you – above, below, and all sides. It is made up for several layers. Some say 7 (like your chakra), others claim more.

Each person’s aura is unique, like an energy fingerprint, and they are different shapes, sizes, and colors from others. The colors some people ‘see’ or pictures pick-up, are generally a single layer of the aura, most likely the outermost layer, and the energetic vibration of that layer is what color that appears.

The aura is with you from birth (or before) until death. One’s aura can expand and contract, and some auras can extend quite far from their physical bodies, upwards of 60+ feet. They tend to pick up signals from the environment as well as from other people’s aura. Your aura touching other people’s auras, or the other way around, often explains that feeling that someone is watching you. Who hasn’t felt this and turned around, only to see someone looking at you (this is how the aura is generally extended). This also can someone’s explain why you are drawn to a person or repelled by them – complimentary aura or contrasting aura energy when touching.

Aura’s can be damaged, and have the ability to repair themselves, though sometimes it is necessary to have the help of an energy worker to do this if the damage is extensive or ongoing.

Soul-retrieval

We thought it might be helpful to have several postings that go over some energetic or spiritual terms that might come up in a professional healing setting. Today, the term we will discuss is 'Soul-retrieval'.

What is Soul Retrieval?

In advanced spiritual practices, the soul is often seen as a very complex structure that is beyond our comprehending. At a minimum, some of the soul is anchored in the human body, and some is anchored in its spiritual home. During your time on Earth, trauma can potentially shed parts of your soul, known as soul-pieces, that break away or become lost to hide and heal. In core shamanic work, these ‘lost’ soul-pieces can become reunited with the whole and is called a ‘soul-retrieval’

During the soul retrieval process, the practitioner moves into the Otherworld (Spirit world, Energy world) to retrieve the lost part of the soul. It is important to note when the piece returns, it comes back with all the pain it experienced when leaving. The human being still needs to go through the healing process that was disrupted when the soul-piece was lost.

Soul retrieval is not a quick fix. If the person has done a lot of personal work, the soul retrieval might be the end of their work. If not, the soul retrieval would be the beginning of their work.

Stay tuned for our next term (coming soon)!

Percy

We haven't had much of a chance to post lately. Not only has work been very busy, but the new addition to the household has inserted a bit of chaos into our lives. That chaos is our new Anatolian puppy Percy (Perseus). We thought we would introduce you all to him. He is a bit over 13 weeks old and about 45+ pounds of love and energy. He is a good boy, if not overly energetic and goofy. We will keep everyone updated on Percy as he continues to grow and learn.

Eagle Eye

Tiger Eye is well known and very popular stone. Most people are familiar with Golden Tiger Eye, the variant of Tiger Eye that has a golden-brown color. The ‘eye’ part of the stone is due to varieties of quartz within the stone that exhibit chatoyancy (the "cat's-eye" effect).

Tiger eye also comes in varieties including Reg Tiger Eye that can develop the red color naturally through the gradual oxidation of the iron within the stone and Blue Tiger Eye where the original asbestos fibers of Crocidolite within the rock are replaced by silica and iron.

One of the ‘blue’ varieties we love here at Silver Moon Reiki is called Eagle Eye. Eagle eye tends to have more blues and grays as typical colors. It has interesting metaphysical properties and is an excellent stone for using in energy work as well as in everyday life.

We sell Eagle Eye in our crystal store as bracelets, which is a great way to allow its unique vibration into your energy field.

Below are some metaphysical properties of Eagle Eye:

Eagle Eye
• chakra focus: third eye, throat, solar plexus
• enhances intuition and inner sight
• allows one to better able see the bigger picture
• supports spiritual awakening
• enhances willpower
• brings emotional balance

Blue Heron

Saw this beautiful bird in the park this week. So still, most moved past it without ever knowing it was there. Here are some notes on the metaphysical and spiritual meaning of the Blue Heron:

The spiritual meaning of the blue heron revolves around themes of patience, self-reliance, grace, inner wisdom, transformation and divine connection. The heron symbolizes the ability to navigate life with calm strength and to act with decisive precision after quiet observation. As a bridge between the earthly and spiritual realms, the blue heron encourages you to find inner peace, trust natural rhythms, and achieve balance between your emotional and practical aspects
