An Open, Balanced Heart Chakra
The energy connected to your clairsentient powers is located in the heart chakra. When the heart chakra is open, you are open to the emotional energy of many different sources. You may receive clairsentience from other people, animals, plants, objects, locations, time periods, ghosts, those on the Other Side, and forms of energy.
If your heart chakra is out of balance, you can receive too much feeling energy, or you might even absorb negative auras into your own aura. If your heart center is blocked, you will receive or be aware of very little emotion.
Protection for your clairsentience is extremely important. When your heart chakra is open and unbalanced, you could be overwhelmed with external emotional and internal feelings. They can come from people, locations, dreams, past lives, future events, ghosts, or deceased spirits.
Creative abilities are often the most powerful when the chakra centers are open. At those times, artists, writers, musicians, or dancers produce and/or perform their greatest work. When they are caught up in the energy flow, they are in a state in which their conscious minds are not fully aware of what is taking place. They can only focus on the creative flow until it has run its course. These trance states may last a short time or may go on for days, placing the artist at risk of losing touch with reality.
When the centers close up again, the creative effort may or may not be complete. If the results are unfinished, there is always the possibility that the centers will not open again. If the work is complete, there may be a chance that the chakras will remain closed and that there will be no more works of that kind produced again. It is the ego mind that causes the doubt, not the intuitive trance. If you are balanced, the flow is natural. The creative energy will always be there in its own way, which will always be the correct way for that moment in time.
A Chakra-Balancing Exercise
You may open and balance your heart chakra with the chakra-balancing exercise. Find a comfortable place to relax and focus on your breathing. Begin by connecting to your third-eye chakra, and ask your Universal Power to bring down its loving and peaceful positive energy. Include the protective bubble of universal golden light and let it flow over and around you.
When you are ready, let yourself open and balance each chakra, beginning with your third eye and on downward until you release the kundalini energy to mix with the peace and love of the Universe. Now let yourself be aware that your crown chakra is open and balanced and ready to receive the proper clairsentience that is right for you at this time. Allow yourself to focus on your heart chakra.
Investigate Your Clairsentience
From your relaxed state, with your focus on your heart chakra, you may begin to investigate the particular manner in which you receive your intuitive feelings and how you can develop and use them. Do you feel emotions? If so, what kind of emotions do you feel? Can you feel the moods of other people or animals? Can you feel the moods of specific locations or from objects?
Can you feel the moods of spirits of beings who may have died and left unresolved issues on the earth plane? Do you feel emotions about certain events in a different period of history or about the future? Are you overwhelmed with emotions at certain times and don't know why? Do you feel the emotions of family or friends with whom you do not have daily contact? Do you ever get a “gut feeling” that you should contact someone immediately?
Feeling Connected
Do you feel that you are in tune with your life work? That does not mean that you are necessarily sure of the absolute direction you are going. Being in tune means more that you feel you are being guided in the direction you should be going. Do you have a deep feeling inside that you are a part of a much larger movement and that many more people are involved? Do you feel that even a resistance is something that may be placed there for a reason that you do not yet understand?
Do you feel out of place with the rest of the world? Do you feel as if you are living in the wrong time? Do you resist your gut feelings and take actions that you do not feel are the right ones? Do you take actions that seem to be compelled by some energy that is not your own? If so, you may be an old soul who is more in tune with a past life than the one you're currently living.
An old soul is a person who has been through many reincarnations. That person's soul contains a lot of psychic memories that can come through an open chakra. If the person is not aware of what is happening, he or she may find this psychic information to be extremely painful.
The feeling of being disconnected is not uncommon for an old soul. You may be aware that you spend a lot of time fighting your emotions rather than trying to communicate with them. Once you understand the psychic abilities you have in this lifetime, you can understand and develop them to help you get back in tune and connected to your life map and life work.
