Rainbow Abundance Empowerment
L
isa Erickson, author of Chakra Empowerment for Women, shares an empowerment to try at home – using all seven chakras – for generating self-love, self-appreciation, gratitude, positivity, and abundance. Everyone loves a rainbow. Rainbows are symbolic of good things in virtually every cultural and spiritual tradition. They represent potential, cohesion, union of Earth and sky, a bridge to the future, a portal to heaven, a promise, gratitude, enlightenment and grace. Who doesn’t want all that? There’s magic in rainbows and helping you find this magic in yourself is what this Rainbow Abundance Empowerment is all about. Rainbows are the sun’s light reflecting off tiny droplets of water in the air, refracted at just the right angle for us to see the full spectrum of colour. Each tiny droplet of water is only a part of the rainbow for a short time before it falls to the Earth or joins a cloud. The rainbow appears static to us for the time it appears, but it’s always in transition, always changing. Is there any metaphor more appropriate for human life? Here for a short time, our body constantly in transition, our emotions and mind ever in flux, and yet we so often think of ourselves as static, as a fixed self, the inevitable product of what has happened to us or what is happening.
Part of the value of working with your energy body (especially for women) is opening up to just how fluid and changeable we are. We are liquid light. We can grow, we can let go of an old way of being to embrace a new one. We can heal. The Rainbow Abundance Empowerment is for resting in yourself and allowing yourself to feel that all these energies and aspects of yourself represented by this chakra system are fully empowered, fully activated and shining through you into the world. You feel secure (root), inspired (sacral), powerful (navel), peaceful (heart), authentic (throat), wise (third eye), and purposeful (crown). Or you can substitute other words, other energies, from those each chakra represents. The point is that each of these is shining through you as a light, creating your own unique rainbow – and that this is the energy you vibrate out into the world.
