How are you going to hold two seemingly opposing views together in tension?
A year ago December I was in church and all the grief and lament of our community filled me to bursting. I was alone in my wailing publicly until someone came beside me and embraced my shoulders and allowed me to process what was flowing through. Is this a gift? Sure but
It’s also a sign of an excessive and imbalanced sacral chakra.
I did not know this although I’ve been studying my own energy and chakras for about 8 years. Well I should say– I knew it but I did not yet embody this understanding .
I was at a new chiropractor last month who said “you are leaking energy all over the place”… I somewhat took offense.
You see, my acupuncturist told me that I have a very strong constitution and am powerful. I have friends who comment on my anointing, I don’t like seeing myself as ‘leaky’ 
I did not want to hear this. Enter beginners mind
Humility
And yet, he planted a seed and I have been actively healing my sacral since. It’s brutally painful work. We are dealing with a young child developmentally–maybe 7-10
and her unmet needs.
We are listening to her not feeing safe and her emotional outbursts. We hold it all for HER.
This is the work of the cross in that we all have mostly ignored the depths of our suffering selves and so there is
a fair amount of stuck life force or trauma charge stored in the body and ALSO–
there is energy leaking
as others draw upon us without our consent.
It’s a WOUND. In need of compassion and balance.
In need of Justice.
