So helpful, so life-shifting and so life-supportive. Definitely tools for the Spiritual Warrior. Welcome to Shamanic Journey through the Chakras, a self-paced, choose-your-own-adventure offering available as individual chapters or the whole enchilada.

Earlier in the year of 2018, my body became very ill--because I fell into an "old," familiar pattern of overworking. Add tax preparation, sister's-bridal-shower-and-wedding-in-another-state preparation, pet stress and other things to the mix, and my body yelled, "Hold on there, missy!" Have I been listening since my body decided to respond with chills, aches and lung-stuff? Yes.

And you know what else I've been doing? Applying the tools I talk about here on this website, with my clients, with my programs and elsewhere. As I enjoyed a healing salt bath (Dead Sea salt, epsom salt, essential oils), I was inspired to listen to my (Shamanic) Journey to the Fourth Chakra, part of my Shamanic Journey through the Chakras program, because of the lung-stuff I was experiencing, and it was sooo helpful. It helped me heal a bit more. And then Spirit said, "You need to gift this particular Fourth Chakra Journey and give people a deal for the other materials in this program."

So here we are!

What's the significance of the Fourth (Heart) Chakra? By giving it some extra love and balancing its energy, we focus on Connection, Stillness, Healing, Breath and Grief. In your body, your heart, lungs, arms, hands, thymus are all part of the fourth chakra. Associated conditions you can support with working with your fourth (heart) chakra include heart and lung ailments, asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, breast cancer, shoulder pain, and upper-back pain.

This is only a sample from the Fourth Chakra "package" of varied materials and not the entire contents.

Guidance for this Gifted Fourth [Heart] Chakra Meditation: Shamanic Journey

Enjoy the videos provided above. The left-side video shares some details about our beautiful heart chakra, and the middle video shares general explanation of and approaches to a shamanic journey--one of the first forms of meditation, often accompanied by a drum or rattle to help the brain enter a theta [meditative] state. The right-side image above is the audio for the shamanic journey for a heart chakra meditation, which I used recently and greatly helped me.

Plan for about 30 minutes of uninterrupted, quiet space. You may save this mp3 file to your computer and do this journey more than once.
a. Determine a quiet space where you can ideally lie down or sit and participate for 25-30 minutes.
b. Have your journal, a writing utensil and a glass of water with you.
c. Once you lie down or sit comfortably, use an eye pillow or eye cover (ex. bandana, scarf) to cover your eyes. Take some deep breaths.

Let's Begin Your Journey to the Fourth Chakra

1. For this journey, you will identify an ache, a source of pain that perhaps makes your chest tighten and begs tears... maybe it's an old or newer source of pain, but it's something that needs to be released from your body, so you can breathe more easily and so you can feel lighter and free-er. Then, you will envision this pain as a knot in your heart chakra area. According to Swami Saradananda, author of Chakra Meditation, "The heart chakra is the seat of Vishnu granthi, an energetic knot of grief, pain and spiritual limitations. Until you 'untie' this knot and let go of grief and inner wounds, your spiritual energy is is blocked from soaring upward.... and your innovative energy is prevented from flowing downward."

In the recording, I've provided an introduction to our journey, describing our intention, explanation of concepts and our approach in detail. Click the button above or click here to play the mp3 track for the Journey to the Fourth (Heart) Chakra.

2. At the end of the journey track, you will be guided to detail your experience through writing in your journal. More information will come to you as you write. I will allow you several minutes to write and then close with some insights. Remember: Your experience is perfect as is. Some of you may feel more than you see, see more than you hear, and so forth.

3. Notice your dreams! Notice your life. Notice your fourth chakra and how you can regain and maintain your connection, ease, stillness, joy, relationship to self and others, breath, immunity, body awareness, compassion and peace.

This is your journey--trust and honor it.

I first offered Shamanic Journey through the Chakras as a group program from Fall 2016-Summer 2017, and I smile every time I hear from people who tell me things like "Erika, I've been called to do work on my third chakra and just did the journey again" or "My financial stuff lately has been unsettling, and I'm re-doing the root chakra videos and journey." I do this work, too!

Each chakra package includes a brief discussion of associated themes, at least two videos with an overview and balancing/healing approaches, a PDF reference sheet, and associated affirmations on an image card. You may have ALL of the chakra material (a generous wealth of material!) for $108, or you may do whichever one(s) call you at $27 each. At this time, save $81 if you invest in the whole package.
