Challenge Entry

So I made this drawing using sacred geometry :shushing_face: it was created in March 2022.
This magical object has a number of uses, I have designed it so that it serves many purposes, but for today I’m going to share with you one of them to serve as my Challenge Entry
Basically it’s an energetic visual grid that helps with focus on the different aspects and energetic points in kundalini energy.
In short kundalini is a feminine forme of energy that formes at the bottom of your spine in the root chakra centre and travels up the spine passing through all the chakra centres all the way up to the crown chakra and beyond

##Simple kundalini activation meditation :man_in_lotus_position:

It helps if you have a quartz crystal to hold in your hand but I have done this meditation without a crystal many times and had good results :blush:

Find a comfortable place to sit down, the important thing is to try and keep your back straight, can be done even laying down on the bed (just dont fall asleep :sleeping: :grinning:)

Close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a minute or so then focus you attention on the bottom of your spine where the root chakra centre is located an try to remember a nice memory in which you were walking barefoot touching the ground and feeling the energy of the earth, this chakra is connected to the element earth :earth_americas:, stay in that place for a moment.
Move your attention to your scaral chakra centre and find a memory that involves water :droplet: (swimming, floating, taking a bath :bathtub:) and stay there for a few moments, this chakra centre is connected to the element water :droplet:
Switch your attention to the solar plexus chakra centre and recall a memory wean you where staring in fire :fire: take a little time to enjoy the flames, this chakra centre is connected to the element fire :fire:.
Continue on and direct your attention to the heart chakra center and try to find a memory where you could feel the wind on your face or breathing the fresh air :dash: this chakra centre is connected to the element air :dash:
Next switch your attention to the throat chakra centre and think about how the spark :sparkles: of life is inside all living things (remember animals, plants, friends, family and pets :heart: and how life exists inside of them and you) this chakra centre is connected to the element spirit :heart:
As lovely as this moment might be try and move on and change you attention to the third eye chakra centre and think about how remarkable it is that we are able to find connection and meaning in all the mysterious symbols, events and situations that appear in our lives, this chakra centre is connected to the occult and the light of the moon :waxing_crescent_moon::new_moon::waning_crescent_moon:
And finally move your attention to your crown chakra centre and start to think how amazing it is tha fact that you are conscious and are able to feel and be aware of all that is around you and beyond :purple_heart:.
Find stillness for a few moments and open your eyes.

The meditation has ended :relieved: :pray:t2:

Thank you :blush: :heart::orange_heart::yellow_heart::green_heart:🩵:blue_heart::purple_heart:

Hmmm… I remember doing the deep dive & I was working with them a lot more while I was doing them… I know what I’m going to do for the challenge… I just have to find the containers for the last 3… I already have 4 made up… so time to get on it! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I know what I’m doing tomorrow!!! :star_struck:

@MeganB… I may have to do that quiz too! I’d be interested to see what it says about mine. My energy work differs from Chakras also… I can’t really put a name on it or coherently explain it :rofl: I can’t correlate with some of the physical signs or symptoms of Chakras being under or overactive either due to my own health conditions or life happening around me.

That being said:

I don’t work with Chakras as I did while I was learning about them & since my practice has taken me in a different direction over time. However, I enjoy learning about new things & trying them to see how they align with my path & sharing what I learn. So the weekly challenges are awesome for me that way & I get a shiny new badge too :laughing:

@Amethyst… you can do it! I was in the same boat for a bit too… I had missed a few in a row. Thank goodness for Catch-Up Challenges! :hugs:

Medea,
I wrote something down on one of my notes it says how can I be an instrument of energy? Attitude of prayer to be more aware relaxation helps get closer to the subtle energy. I like this idea and approach because I don’t want the Emotional anxiety, fear, excitement tension, I want to be free of worried and I just want to take interest in the vast.
My notes from a guru!

challenge entry - continued


So i did a bunch of chakra reafing with all tarot deck apps and made a table of each card for each chakra. Still got to figure out each message for each chakra but it was a good effort for the afternoon . Now i just need to figure out each chakra. I used a resource i remembered i had to help see what each chakra represented.

it helped me to a referenxe to each chakra. It may only have a short description so may not give a full description of each chakra but its a start i guess

Go outside barefoot and be free! Best feeling in the entire world. Being in tune with your body, with earth and mother nature herself.

Great suggestion! I haven’t done that in awhile either. However, I am going to wait until I am braver or feeling really hot. :grin:

Weekly Witchy Challenge Entry - The Chakras - 7 Gates Salve

Hello, Everyone!! I am super excited to read all the entries this week since this Winter I started to research more on chakras. This week I thought I would share a recipe for a 7 Gates Salve that helps balance and open the chakras. This recipe comes from an herbal grimoire I got off Etsy a few years ago.

I made this salve with the traditional oil infusing method using one full moon cycle… using Safflower oil because it’s a neutral property base and it’s a fast-absorbing oil. I also added Super Seven crystal chips to the jar as well during the infusing period. This recipe is great because you can literally make it as a salve or keep it in its oil form for anointing. Now, I am somewhat of a detailed person, and I always like to do a little extra lol… so once I had the infused oil I then placed the jar on a Bluetooth speaker and played a youtube video of seed chanting for all the chakras for a few hours (link to the video below) to align the energy and frequencies. Lastly, when I made the salve I top the salve during the cooling period with more Super Seven chips.

Super seven crystal activates, balances, and cleanses all seven chakras.

The Metaphysical Properties of Super Seven Crystal

Super seven crystal combines all the metaphysical benefits of the seven minerals present in it:

  • Amethyst - Increases cognitive ability, focus, and creativity

  • Cacoxenite - Improves spiritual awareness and a better sense of divine purpose

  • Clear quartz - Boosts energy and opens the mind and heart

  • Goethite - Strengthens physical and spiritual connection

  • Lepidocrocite - Improves communication and understanding between lovers and blocks negative energy

  • Rutile - Reduces worry and anxiety

  • Smoky quartz - Protects against negative energy and speeds up healing

So I found this very interesting and decided to give the quiz a try and compare the results with my one results(for which I have several methods) to see how accurate this test is and to my surprise it works just fine :slightly_smiling_face: you just have to be honest with the answers (don’t exaggerated wean the answer tends to be on the definitely side, the same goes for not at all :wink: )
Thank you @MeganB for sharing :heart: It’s always nice to have another tool at hand :purple_heart::pray:t2:

Here is my results, happy to share :grinning:

I’m so glad for this challenge because I have been meaning to put together all of my correspondences. I am not finished … But My Tarot spread is in this PDF. I used it at a meditation retreat a few years back. It’s one of those spreads that you can block a chunk of time for lol. I had forgotten about it and am going to use it (and then adjust it if I need to). We all change as time goes on, and our outlooks change the more we learn.

I like to use correspondences in everything I do, so my Chakra challenge is to look at that herb poster above and my other notes and personalize that for my BOS.
It’s such a hectic time for shop owners that I hadn’t prepared anything this week for my Patreon site. This challenge was just what I needed to get going! As usual, The inspiration from all of you to the rescue! Thank you for the motivation!!! Namaste!

This is the perfect topic as it couldn’t have come at a better time. I have had a book on Chakras for a while and with the new monthly subscription box a set of crystals associated with the chakras came. I am going to try to learn more about chakras this week and hopefully will be able to incorporate what I learn in my practice. Here is the book and crystals:

Here’s my entry for the Chakra Challenge.
I created 2 crystal grids for my family who is sick and when they get better, they turn around and get sick again. :disappointed:


For the 1st grid, I used chakra colored crystals that I intuitively chose for their healing ailments. Rose quartz in the center. Amazonite, carnelian, labradorite, lapis lazuli, Australian crazy lace agate, Russian flower rhyolite. Then connecting the clear quartz crystals to the outer layer are, red jasper, another jasper that I forgot the actual name, charoite, blue lace agate, aventurine and citrine.

For this grid, I used red jasper, idk bc I forgot, citrine, fluorite, sodalite, lapis lazuli and amethyst.

I then activated the grids with my chakra wand that is on the bottom of the 1st photo. I didn’t connect the crystals with the wand. There’s another way…I take the wand and I draw a circle 3 times clockwise to send out the energy. And vice versa to bring it in. Hold the wand in the center amd visualize your intention (my family is healthy).

I also said a prayer over the grids and cleansed the crystals with a tuning fork and tingshas because you can’t cleanse too much for physical healing. Later, I will perform some Usui Reiki for them. May they all get well with my positive energy work and caring for them and cleaning and cooking, etc :laughing: thank you all for reading this far!
