I have found that I've been drawn to the color of the chakra that needs attention and healing. Expression is a key aspect of my life, speaking, singing, writing...and I've always been drawn to the colour blue. At different times in my life I noticed I gravitated towards a certain colour, meaning I was heading to the chakra that corresponded with it to do some work.
Sometimes the opposite has happened. Have you ever really hated a color? It may just be the chakra that needs the most work! The universe has all sorts of ways to get our attention, often through contrast.
Am I safe? Do I belong?
As it turns out, this is a really big one for me as I was adopted. My birth mother refused contact when I looked for her in my twenties. Ouch. That sparked a search within and the journey I've been on ever since. What a ride...
I've come to realize through chakra work and in my path to heal my root chakra that it is indeed MY life and I do not need anyone's approval or permission. I always loved those women in history who were powerful and made their own rules. I think I may have been Cleopatra in another life. It would definitely explain a few things including my jewelry fetish...among others ;)
