The sacral chakra represents the place where a baby releases itself from the dark womb of its mother in order to travel through the portal of life into the world of light. When the first breath is drawn, the awareness of self begins. 

This immediate awareness of separation encourages the self to survive. 

Individuation of self develops within the first seven years of life. 

During the early stages the child may remember itself as a soul, but the desire to explore, thrive and feel all the emotions of life can overshadow the soul’s quiet and subtle presence. As a child becomes more aware of its body and mind, they become less aware of their soul.

This is when the self begins to separate itself from its soul to claim its own individual and unique identity in this lifetime.

During this time of early childhood, parts of the self can become disempowered or lost due to trauma, neglect, abandonment, fear, or generational stories, etc. These lost parts can unconsciously hide within our shadow that impacts how we see our self and our world. When the child feels love, compassion and joy it builds confidence and hope that can protect and encourage those parts of us that are wounded or alone. This is a powerful time that impacts our ability to embrace the life we have been born into. It’s also important to honor the innocence of the soul as its subtle presence is what brought us here. Childlike wonder is a gift when searching for our self, especially is the shadows.  

The sacral chakra represents the growing awareness of our self as our personality emerges based on life experiences and the subtle tug of our soul.

Message: We may have disconnected from our soul’s purpose for reasons that are hidden in our shadows. See into our shadows with wonder to find the insights our soul holds.  

“This meeting with oneself is, at first, the meeting with one’s own shadow. The shadow is a tight passage, a narrow door, whose painful constriction no one is spared. But one must learn to know oneself in order to know who one is. For what comes after the door is a boundless expanse full of unprecedented uncertainty. It is the world of water, where I am indivisibly this and that; where I experience the other in myself and the other than myself experiences me.” – Carl Jung

My goal is to find a publisher who can offer this as a set. In the meantime, you can purchase either the book or cards via these links. Thank you for your support. Laural
