Ideally we would like to feel that all of the chakras in our body are fully functioning. This is not the case. The un-empowering beliefs & excess electromagnetic energy within our energy anatomy, which we hold onto Cheap Pedro Chirivella Jersey , create blocks. Excess electro-magnetic (blocked energy) surrounds the fear filled & worry filled events of our life. Clearing the energy anatomy releases its buildup.

These intents focus our attention to various centers of the body, using our consciousness to direct the flow of energy. Light is literally the messenger of the electromagnetic field. Light is within the essence of our cells, and the DNA. The DNA is tuned and corrected by this flow of light.
Our innate systems operate on the basis of flow without resistance. Correcting the flow of light restores and enables the natural, normal Cheap Ovie Ejaria Jersey , healthy processes within our systems. Increasing the flow results in evolution of our innate potentials!
To increase our consciousness we must increase the "charge" or "energy flow" of our whole energy anatomy, our whole being. This requires our active participation in consciously creating our reality.
The reception and transmission of information, sent by light, which acts as a messenger, should be seamless. In order to fine-tune this energy reception and transmission we need to decrease the noise (this includes Cheap Nathaniel Clyne Jersey , and is not limited to, our fears, run-away emotions, apprehensions, clinging to the past Cheap Mohamed Salah Jersey , & hanging onto patterns that no longer serve us) in our lives, and increase the coherence.
