Dealing with Emotions
Today I got an assignment about an issue that touches us deeply and frequently in our day to day life. It is about dealing with emotions.
The heart, the third eye and the crown chakra are attractive to us, because these energy centers connect us with the higher realms that are so natural to us. But the real inner breakthroughs must now occur on a lower level, in the area of the lower chakras, closer to earth.
