I thought you may like to read this about the Chakra's and the
comments of the proof reader. See below. I would love to hear your
comments too so please post them to the group. Thanks.

Chapter One - Part Two - Chakras
~
Become aware of the subtle energy centres in the body and your
connection to Mother Earth beneath your feet.

Reach up to the stars with your feelings and feel the whole universe
as a part of yourself.

Using your imagination, visualise each of your energy centres or
chakras opening and starting to radiate healing energy from each
centre.

Focus on your connection to the planet. Visualise roots of energy
growing out of your feet and spiralling down deep into the centre of
the Earth.

As this connection gets established, visualise all the negative,
stale energy being drawn down these roots. And, as the stale energy
leaves your system, feel an exchange of energy taking place.

Feel fresh, revitalised energy coming up these roots into your
body. Feel refreshed, revitalized, full of health, happiness, joy
and vitality. Feel at one with the Earth.

Allow your attention to rise up your body to the base of the spine.
Visualize your Base Chakra opening its four petals. See a vortex of
lovely red energy radiating out. Feel it expanding and swirling all
around and permeating through the physical body.

Go through this opening process with each Chakra in turn:

· The six petals of the Sacral Chakra radiating beautiful
Orange light.
· The ten petals of the Solar Plexus Chakra radiating a lovely
Yellow light, all the colours blending together, bringing balance
and healing as each extra chakra is added.
· The twelve petals of the Heart Chakra radiating a soothing
Green light. Feel the difference as we move from the lower chakras
to the more spiritual ones.
· Allow your attention to rest on your Throat Chakra. See the
16 petals opening and a soft Blue light flowing out, mingling and
blending.
· You can already feel your Brow Chakra bursting with energy
as your attention reaches up to it. See the 96 petals of the Brow
Chakra opening, bathing you in Purple light.
· The Crown Chakra and the 1,000-petalled Lotus is your
connection to all the planets and stars in the universe. Just feel
the universal White light entering through the crown of the head and
bathing the whole of your body in the holistic energy. Feel the
auras around your body being healed and repaired by this White
light. Allow your awareness to expand and feel at one with the
whole universe.

As you bring your awareness back to the silence, notice the change
in tone. Even though we are talking of silence, note that it has a
tone, or a ring, or a grain within it. Note that with the Chakras
open your whole energy frequency seems to have been raised.

Use your imagination to visualise some of your heart's aspirations
for yourself and your life. Use all your senses to experience these
dreams. You can even run them like a movie over your awareness.

Thinking in the silence is very powerful, as it moves the whole
universe to bring you what you desire. Therefore, dream your dream
about positive, life-supporting things, which benefit not only
yourself but also those around you. Then just let your dream melt
into the silence again.

As we start to reconnect with our physical body again, become aware
of your Crown Chakra and, as we draw in the petals of the Crown
Chakra, feel the energy being left in perfect balance.

Take the awareness to the Brow Chakra. As we draw in the petals of
the Brow Chakra, just know that this chakra is responsible for the
higher mind functions and sixth senses like Telepathy, Déjà Vu,
Premonitions, and all the "Clair's": Clairvoyance, Clairaudience,
Clairsentience, etc.

As we take our attention down to the Throat Chakra and draw in the
petals, just know that this chakra is responsible for our powers of
communication. Not just our voice, but also all the senses of
hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell: they all communicate through
this chakra.

Passing down to our Heart Chakra, draw in the petals and know that
this chakra is responsible for our feelings. This is the connection
to finer layers of our self, through all the organs of the body into
the cells. Down into the molecules and atoms, right down into the
silence of the Void itself.

Now as we come to the Solar Plexus Chakra and draw in the petals,
know that this chakra is our emotional centre. Our emotions are
stored in the fluids within the body. See the Yellow light of the
emotional chakra flowing clearly.

Let's use the process of forgiveness to claim our energy back. For
if we project our emotions to another we give away our power. Take
responsibility for yourself through forgiving, both yourself and the
other person.

As we take our attention down to our Sacral Chakra, just know this
chakra connects us through personal relationships with our family
and friends. Know that this web of connections to those we love has
been cleansed by the Orange light radiating from the Sacral Chakra.

Finally we come to the Base Chakra. As we draw in the petals of the
Base Chakra, know that this chakra helps to maintain our physical
body and our connection to the Earth. See this beautiful Red light
in perfect balance.

As we draw up the roots from the Earth, feel our batteries fully
recharged by the energy we have drawn into our body. Feel in
perfect balance, full of health, happiness, joy and vitality, as we
return to our normal everyday level of awareness.

I have only one comment on the content of the piece.

"... For if we project our emotions to another we give away our
power. Take responsibility for yourself through forgiving, both
yourself and the other person." (Note that I had to edit this
paragraph to try to blend the subject "Us" and the subject "You".)

If we forgive ourself, it is redundant to forgive the other person.
If we forgive the other person, it is redundant to forgive ourself.
There is only One of Us.

You may feel that if we forgive both ways, the two reinforce each
other and produce a quicker result. However, I personally think
it's better to forgive just One of Us (either ourself or the other
person), as this helps to drive home the realisation that there is
indeed only One of Us.

In my experience, what happens is this. When, for instance, we
decide that we will no longer judge others, and we keep affirming
this, we very soon get a distinct feeling that we ourselves are no
longer being judged. We sense a sort of freedom as if a burden had
been lifted from us.

Logically we could achieve the same thing by deciding that we will
no longer judge ourselves, and keeping on affirming this. Our non-
judgement would soon be reflected into our feelings about others.

However, I think the process is much clearer if we work on our
relationship with others, than our relationship with ourself. It
seems to me that our relationship with others is so much more
visible than our relationship with ourselves, and so much easier to
work on.

For instance, when we decide no longer to judge others, we can
literally see the energy cord that connects us with each other
person change in quality to incorporate strands of non-judgement.

Anyway, my suggestion is that the paragraph as you wrote it suggests
that there is more than one of us, and you should consider re-
writing it in the light of there being only the One. Whatever
amendments you make, send the file to me again for a further
proofread.
