Each of the chakras reflects a basic, inalienable right.  When you feel a loss of these rights, it causes a block in that energy center.  Reclaiming these rights is not only vital to healing each chakra, but ultimately living a happy and fulfilled life.

 

TO BE HERE AND TO HAVE

The right to be here is achieved in the 1st chakra.  This is the foundation of our survival and security.  

“Do I have the right to take up space?”

“Do I have the right to stand my ground?”

“Do I have the right to take care of myself?”

Anyone who struggles with this will constantly worry + be In a state of deprivation – even when help is offered.

The first right also requires the right to have, especially to have what we need to survive.

“I have grasped my right to be here, but I’m struggling with allowing myself to have such things as time to myself, pleasure, money, possessions, love, or praise..”

Has this ever applied to you?  Without the right to be here, to have, to hold, and to manifest – few other rights can be reclaimed.

 

TO FEEL AND TO WANT

The right to feel is achieved in the 2nd chakra.  When the right to feel is impaired, we become out of touch with ourselves, numb and disconnected.  Our right to enjoy healthy sexuality is intimately connected with our right to feel pleasure.

“Do I have the right to feel angry right now?”

“Do I have the right to feel upset?”

“Do I have the right to want and feel pleasure right now?”

Included in the right to feel, is the right to want – If we cannot feel, it is extremely difficult to know what we want.

 

TO ACT AND BE FREE

The right to act is achieved in the 3rd chakra.  When the right to act is restricted, we don’t feel “alive” in our element; Our will and spontaneity decrease rapidly. 

“Do I have the right to innovate?”

“Do I have the right to be a unique individual?”

“Do I have the right to seek freedom?”

We need freedom to step into our power and develop our inner authority.

 

TO LOVE AND BE LOVED

The right to love is achieved in the 4th chakra.  The damage appears with judgmental attitudes within family circles, culture, religion, etc.  As the central chakra, it is effected when any other right is damaged.   As you give love to others and show love to yourself, you will ultimately feel loved in return.

 

TO SPEAK AND HEAR TRUTH

The right to speak is achieved in the 5th chakra.

This right is abused by secrets and lies. Learning clear communication and living in your personal truth is essential to claiming this right.

 

TO SEE CLEARLY

The right to see is achieved in the 6th chakra.  It’s damaged when we are told what we perceive is not real or deliberately hidden or denied (like parental drinking and frightening scenarios- typically this is effected in adolescence when children see things beyond their scope of understanding). These side effects include impaired physical vision and subtle psychic perception.

 

TO KNOW

The right to know is achieved in the 7th chakra.

The right to accurate information, truth, and knowledge are usually harmed by forceful beliefs of spiritual or religious dogma.  Often this is blocked by ultra religious figures, closed minded influences, or those who have been denied information and education towards spiritual liberation.  

We all have equal spiritual rights to connect to our divine.
