You have 7 major energy or psychic centers that radiate throughout the body, both front and back. These are called “Chakras” which is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. Each chakra is a center for various energies to be transformed and linked in your body. The body chakras start at the base of your spine and run all the way to the top of your head. Chakras are seen in clairvoyant or psychic sight sometimes as colored circles, funnels, flowers, or as just a field around a part of the body. These energy centers have a vibrational frequency and may also be heard clairaudiently.

In your human energy system, the center for unconditional love is located in the center of your chest. This is your fourth chakra. It governs the heart and circulatory system, respiratory system, arms, shoulders, hands, diaphragm, ribs/breasts and thymus gland.

Many issues of love, grief, hatred, anger, jealousy, fears of betrayal, of loneliness, as well as the ability to heal ourselves and others are centered in the fourth chakra.

From this position in the middle of the body the fourth chakra is the balance between your body and spirit. This chakra is the place where unconditional love is centered. Unconditional Love is a creative and powerful energy that may guide and help us through the most difficult times. This energy is available in any moment, if we turn our attention to it and use it to free us from our limits and fears.

Ask yourself some of these questions:

To have this fourth chakra energy fully touch our daily life requires intent and practice. This begins within our self, for without the ability to love ourselves, we cannot truly experience love from another or give it truly to another. In loving ourselves we allow the intent to generate the feeling of unconditional love within us, and then to share this feeling with others. Whatever we send out is returned to us.

A powerful practice to open to and embody unconditional love is one from the Buddhist tradition. It is called "Metta". Metta is a word meaning loving kindness.

Try this basic method for the Metta meditation:

Sit comfortably in a chair or cushion in a place you will not be interrupted for at least 15 minutes. Turn off the ringers on your phone.

You may have your eyes opened or closed, relax, breathe easily and comfortably. Feel your energy settle into your body, easily and comfortably.

Begin to pull your awareness into your heart area, and let your breathing arise from that area. See if certain words emerge from your heart that speaks to what you wish for most deeply for yourself. For example, “may I enjoy peace, may I enjoy good health, an abundance of love”. Continue this way until you feel a sense or quality of lightness and well being.

Now, visualize or imagine radiating outward in a series of circles this well being for others you have a close intimacy with. For example, “may my husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, son, parents, daughter enjoy good health, peace, and love.”

Continue radiating outward this well being

For all those in your circle until you feel complete. Then move this circle to those you know, and then those you do not know, and move the circle outward to your neighborhood, town, county, state, country and the entire planet. When this practice feel whole to you gently bring it to a ending.

Beginning this practice will start your journey to your balance point of body and spirit. It is a journey that will change and begin to heal all areas of your body, heart and mind.
