Be Kind To Yourself
It is interesting that I was led to pick this particular card for this article. This is also the message I chose to share on Facebook! I am sure you can relate to the simplicity of this message. It is a great reminder with the retrograde planets that have been in our path. Chakra Insights were designed with you in mind, to feed your heart and soul on a daily basis. You probably realize how easily distractions from being kind to yourself can affect outcomes. Distractions can throw you a curve. It is true that serving others gives you a feeling of worthiness, and it is honorable to be in service. Just remember in order to serve others under the best and highest conditions you need to serve yourself wisely to feel complete within yourself. Being kind to yourself honors YOU! Know your limits, what you have the capacity to give at any given moment. Also remember to step back and recharge your energy before stepping into another situation. Think about the past week or even the past month. How quickly have the wheels been turning in your life? It is easy to say slow down, take a breath, and it should be that easy to do. Don’t you feel when you are caught up in the rat race that you are literally overwhelmed with the finish line instead of the joy in the process of getting there? When you are kind to yourself you are not only observant but aware of the experiences and entrapments. You are more decisive in your choices and sense what you can breeze through or what needs more time for your rest and delight.

This card is one of the HEART CHAKRAS which rest in the balance of the other six. It represents love, compassion and service. This reminds me of an important issue, and that is of ‘giving’. Because most of you reading this article are empaths, giving can come easily. I want you think for a moment about the blessings you will give by also receiving from others. My friends, we need to bring balance in each situation. If you are always on the giving end of things you will eventually feel depleted, not having the ability to give anymore. Then what? Giving and allowing yourself to receive gives you the energy exchange needed to fill yourself with the fuel needed for your next opportunity. When you feel a sense of peace, love, contentment inside, your heart radiates with joy. Let joy serve you! I know many of you serve through healing, being kind to yourself will also serve you in this way. Core issues often lay upon the heart. Feed it with love daily. You can relate to “follow your heart” and… you can fill in whatever you want. What does “follow your heart” mean to you?

I will be sharing several messages with you in subsequent issues/articles. They carry many insights to bring you back to what you need for yourself to bring awareness and balance, aligning the chakras for optimal results. The messages tend to flow on the backbone of emotional issues giving you a sense of inner strength and optimism. You will feel that you have an intangible partner that will guide you no matter what the circumstances look like. The tangible message(s) will always support and bring forward the very best in your purpose and nature. Once you attune yourself with the guidance received, you will see how bringing yourself back to simplicity will bring you back to your center.
