Etheric cords most commonly extend to our siblings, followed by (in
descending order of what is most commonly found) our father , mother , ex-
spouse, ex-lovers, current spouse or lover , our house, children, and close
friends. Fear within our relationships forms these cords. The fear may be
characterized as codependency , attachments, fear of abandonment, or
unfor giveness. Etheric cords act like hoses, with ener gy directed back and
forth between both people. Therein lies the problem. If the person to whom you are attached is having a life challenge, that
person will siphon ener gy from you. He or she will draw upon your ener gysupply through the etheric cord. Y ou will then feel drained, without
knowing why . Very often, the people you have had sexual relationships with are
attached to your sacral chakra. The people with whom you’ve experienced
conflict are attached to your solar plexus. Those whomyou grieve over are
attached to your heart chakra. Those with whom you’ve had painful relationships, or relationships
where you carried all the weight, are attached to your shoulders. This is, in
my experience, the root cause of shoulder and neck pain. A female client of mine complained of having multiple life challenges in
her finances, health, and love life. I immediately saw that she had many
large etheric cords extending from her back and shoulders. I discerned that
the cords were attached to her deceased father , with whom she’d had a
contentious relationship. I asked her to be willing to for give her father as we cut the cords. Simultaneously , I asked her father to be willing to for give himself, since
hewas remorseful about his past relationshipwith his daughter .When both
people were completely willing to for give, the cords parted. My client
reported improvements in all areas of her life immediately following our
session. When we are attached to our home or geographical locations, etheric
cords extend fromthe bottomof our feet, into the ground. I recently worked with a client who said that she wanted to move. However , she complained that her house wasn’ t selling. I saw that she had
many etheric cords extending from the bottom of her feet into the house’ s
foundation. I explained tomy client that her attachment to the homewas preventing its
sale.W ith her permission,we cut the cords. T wo days later, her house sold at
the full asking price. Cutting cords doesn’ t mean “I don’ t love you or care about you
anymore.” Cord cutting doesn’ t necessarily lead to breakups or abandoned
relationships. It simply means that you are releasing the dysfunctional parts
of your relationships. Remember , fear is the opposite of love, and etheric
cords (and all attachments) are created from fear . Some people worry that they may cut cords to their own soul fragments
—that is, the parts of themselves that splintered of f during traumaticepisodes. This can’ t occur when you hold the intention of only cutting the
cords that block you from feeling full joy and ener gy. Your soul fragment
cords will remain uncut by holding this intention. Or, you can call back your soul fragments and reintegrate yourself by
visualizing a shower of white light encircling your body . Mentally ask that
all pieces of yourself be completely reunited with your true self. Y ou may
see little “you’ s” bounding toward you, like little beings on rubber bands
bungee-jumping in your direction. These little soul fragments will be
completely healed of all residual fear or trauma as they reenter you through
the white light shower . Cutting Etheric Cords
There are two main ways to cut etheric cords. The fastest and simplest
way is to mentally call Archangel Michael to come to your side and clear
away all cords that are draining you. If you are unfamiliar with Archangel
Michael, his primary role is to clear away all dark ener gy. You can ask
Archangel Michael to come to your side any time. Y ou can even ask him to
live with you permanently . He has the ability (as do we, in truth) to be with
everyone simultaneously . You will notice an immediate increase in ener gy and peacefulness when
you ask Michael to cut your cords. The second way is to cut the etheric cords yourself, or ask a friend or
healer to do it for you. If you do it yourself, simply visualize holding a pair
of scissors, a knife, or a sword. See or feel yourself cutting the etheric
cords. Y ou can either think about a person to whom you know you are
attached and then hold the intention of cutting the cord, or you can hold the
intention of cutting all of your cords. The sensation of cutting your own cords, or those of another person, is
palpable. Y ou can feel the thickness and density of the tubing as you cut
through it with your sharp instrument. If there is any resistance to cutting
the cord, this signals unresolved fears or unfor giveness held toward the
person to whom the cord is attached. Here is an af firmation to heal this
resistance: “I am willing to release all fear and unfor giveness so that I may
experience peace instead of pain.”Clearing with Archangel Raphael
Raphael is the archangel in char ge of healing. He exudes a beautiful
emerald-green glow , which provides healing ener gy. You can invite
Archangel Raphael to enter your body and clear your chakras of any
residual fear . Raphael will spin his green healing light around each chakra
and help you release all anxiety , guilt, or stress related to each chakra. Simply think or say , “Raphael, please enter my body and clear me of any
imbalances or negative ener gy now ,” and it is done. You can also ask
Raphael to visit a loved one. The angels will never violate God’ swill, or a
person’ s freewill, so your angel invocation on behalf of another is a pure
gift of love from God, the angels, and yourself. OceanofPDF .comOceanofPDF .comOceanofPDF .comChapter Five  
Additional Methods to Clear Y our Chakras
In addition to the methods spelled out in previous chapters, there are
dozens of ways to clear your chakras. In fact, themore you clear them, the
more creative you will become with methods that you will discern from
your own inner guidance. T ruly, there is no one “right” way to clear
chakras. There are only methods that are right for you at any given moment. So, experiment with creating variations on the methods outlined in this
book. Or , ask your guide, “Please show me how to increase my feelings of
energy and joy ,” and then follow whatever positive insight you receive. I
say “positive” because guidance from your guides is always voiced in
positive terms. If you ever receive negative guidance, do not follow it,
because it is from the lower ego-self and not Divinely originated. In this chapter , I’ll describe a few other methods that open up the chakras. Toning and Chanting
In ancient times, peoplewould chant the name of the sun god of Thebes,
“Amen” or “Amon.” They believed that this sun god brought visions of the
future. Then, the Egyptian high priestesses and high priests discovered that
it was not a pagan god who brought clairvoyant images, but the toning of
the name “Amen.”
They used the base word Aum as a tone to open the third eye. Aum is the
sound of creation, and it expresses awe at the miracle of creation and our
Creator . If you chant all three syllables: Au-Uh-Mm slowly and loudly , you will
feel a strong vibration between your two physical eyes. These pulsations
reawaken the third eye’ s natural ability to see clairvoyantly . It’s even more powerful to chant the Aum tone using sacred numerology . So, chant the tone one, three, or twelve times, and notice the increase invisual imagery . You’ll see visions of the future, of the truth about other
people, and prophetic dreams. Musical tones also open the chakras. Any instrument played with love,
held close to the body , will have positive vibrations that encourage the
chakras to open and bloom. Some healers play the harp, a guitar , a
didgeridoo (an Australian instrument made of hollowed tree branches), or
such next to their clients’ chakras in order to clear them. Tuning forks are also ef fective chakra-openers. Y ou can ring the tuning
forks corresponding to each chakra and hold them over that point in your
body . Metaphysicians generally agree that each chakra resonates at these
specific musical tones:  
 
 
 
Tones that clear the chakras are also emitted from lar ge crystal bowls
(sold in metaphysical bookstores and at psychic fairs). The bowls seem to
sing as you run a wooden dowel around the bowl’ s parameter . The size of
the crystal bowl determines its pitch and tone, so use the above musical
scale to determine which chakra each bowl is best suited for . Forgiveness
Here is an exercise that I ask all of my spiritual counseling students to
complete. They always report to me that this exercise substantially
increases the clarity and volume of their intuition. This is an extremely
powerfulway to open up any blocked or shrunken chakras, and I highly
recommend it. Anyone can feel more at peace and more ener gized through the process
of for giveness. This process reminds me of throwing of f weights when
riding in a hot air balloon so you can go higher up. Old anger , fear , and
resentment are dead weights that slow us and drain our vitality . Perhaps youhave some weight you can throw over the side of your hot air balloon right
now.When you for give the world—including yourself—you become lighter
and much less fearful. FORGIVENESS : FREE YOURSELF NOW
This process takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete, and believe
me, it is a worthwhile time investment. Many clients report that this single
exercise immediately transforms their lives in powerfully positive ways. Here are some steps to freedom through for giveness:
1. Know the benefits of forgiveness . Forgiveness is dif ferent from
saying, “I lose,” or “I was wrong and you were right.” It is dif ferent
from letting someone off the hook for a perceived wrong. For giveness
is simply a way of freeing your spirit and becoming an unlimited
being. Peacefulness and increased ener gy are the prizes, and
forgiveness is the price. T o me, it’ s a bar gain. 2. Take a forgiveness inventory . (This exercise is partially based on the
work of author John Randolph Price.) W rite the name of every being,
living or deceased, who has irritated you. Most people find they have a
three- or four -page list and are able to suddenly remember names of
people they hadn’ t thought about in years. Some people even put down
names of pets who irritated them, and almost everyone writes their
own name somewhere on the list. 3. Release and forgive . In a solitary room where no interruptions are
possible, go down the list one name at a time. Hold the image of each
person in your mind and tell him or her , “I for give you and I release
you. I hold no unfor giveness back. My for giveness for you is total. I
am free and you are free.” This process may take 30 minutes or longer . However , it’s important to stick with it until the entire list is complete. 4. Do nightly r eleasements . Every evening before retiring, do a mental
review of the day . Is there anyone you need to for give? Just as youprobably wash your face every night, it’ s also important to cleanse
your consciousness nightly so resentment won’ t accumulate. Past-Life Clearing of the Third Eye
I’ve worked with many clients and students who complain that they
cannot see images in their mind’ s eye. They tell me, “I’m just not visual!”
Quite often, I find that these seemingly “nonvisual” people have suf fered
violent deaths in other lives because of their clairvoyant abilities . I’ve worked with students who were burned at the stake during witch
hunts, who were beheaded for possessing psychic abilities during the
Inquisition, and who died in the ancient civilization of Atlantis for reasons
related to their clairvoyance. Now , in this lifetime, they are terrified of
reawakening the very power that led to their demise in past lives. Similarly , there have been repercussions for many of my psychic students
and clients in this lifetime. For instance, theywere reprimanded for having
“evil” visions as a child.Or , theywere told to stop talking about their
“invisible friends,” who were actually angels or spirit guides. No matter which lifetime sparked the present fear of clairvoyance, we can
heal the resistance simultaneously . Here is a meditative method to clear
away the fear of opening your psychic chakras:
Begin by br eathing in and out deeply , three times. Read this paragraph to
yourself, either aloud or silently , “I am willing to release any fears I may
have fr om any lifetime about being able to see the futur e. I am willing to
release any fear I may have in any direction of time, connected to psychic
abilities. I am willing to for give anyone, in any lifetime, who may have
criticized, persecuted, abandoned, maimed, or killed me because of my
psychic abilities. I am willing to for give myself for all the choices I have
made in any time, knowing that I was always doing the best I could do. I am
willing to r elease any fears about being harmed for being a psychic in this
lifetime. I am healed and I am safe.”
The Role of Food and DietEverything we eat or drink contains life-force ener gy, some foods and
beverages more than others. If you eat a diet that is high in life-force
energy, your chakras will be lar ger and clearer . Conversely , a diet that is low in life-force ener gy doesn’ t help your
chakras, and sometimes makes them shrink and darken even further . This
particularly happens whenever we eat foods derived from mistreated
animals. Our chakras absorb the ener gy of the animals’ pain. Foods that are alive, such as fresh fruits and vegetables; sprouted whole
grain products; and freshly squeezed (within 20 minutes) juices, have the
highest amount of life-force ener gy. Foods that are dead; or dried, frozen, or
overcooked, have no life-force ener gy. After all, life doesn’ t live in a can or
a freezer . If you can add more life-force ener gy to your diet, you’ll notice a positive
difference in your ener gy and mood levels.Even cutting back a little bit on
low life-force foods and adding a tiny amount of high life-force foods can
positively af fect you. I’ve found that many of my students and clients have received intuitional
guidance to stop consuming the foods that clog their chakras.When you
give up such foods as sugar , caffeine, or red meat—in response to internal
guidance—you will have few or no negative side ef fects. So, you won’ t
experience the cravings or headaches normally associated with dietary
changes. Instead, you’ll find that your appetite for these substances
disappears. Here are the foods that af fect your chakras most profoundly . FOODS AND SUBST ANCES THAT  
NEGA TIVEL Y AFFECT THE CHAKRAS
Greatly:   
 
Alcohol
Caffeine
Chocolate
Cigarettes/cigarsDrugs of any kind
Red meat
Any food or substance consumed compulsively or addictively (this is a
sign that Divine guidance is being feared and avoided by the
consumption of substances). Moderately:  
 
Fowl (turkey , chicken, etc.) Mood-altering or ener gy-altering herbs (calming or stimulating)
Most processed foods
Shellfish
White flour
White sugar  
 
Somewhat:   
 
Carbonation in beverages, including water
Dairy products
Produce and grains grown with pesticides
Seafood (all varieties except shellfish)
FOODS AND BEVERAGES THAT  
POSITIVEL Y AFFECT THE CHAKRAS
• Freshly picked fruits and vegetables (especially those that are or ganic,
as pesticides contain the low life-force ener gy of death—pesti [insect]
cide [death])
• Bread products baked with sprouted or whole grains (ask your grocery
store manager to order these, or purchase them at any health food store)
• Soy products such as soy milk or tofu
• Juice, consumed within 20 minutes of squeezing (the life-force escapes
after 20 minutes, much like a spirit leaving a body)• Food that is prayed over . Exercise
Exercise also af fects the chakras. Any kind of aerobic workout that gets
you breathing in and out deeply will aerate your chakras with the increased
oxygen flow . Nature walks are also superb for opening your chakras. If you
walk in a “power center ,” such as near a lar ge body of water , a forest, or a
vortex (such as the ener gy vortices in Sedona, Arizona), you will especially
feel the impact of your chakras opening. In addition, yoga and tai chi movements increase the flow of “chi” or life-
force through your chakras. I especially like the exercises described in the
book Fountain of Y outh by Peter Kelder (Doubleday). Kelder ’s book
outlines six exercises, purportedly from India, which open the chakras. The
exercises definitely open them rapidly . Crystals
Crystals are powerful agents of change and healing. Crystals that
correspond to the chakra colors are especially ef fective for chakra clearing. Lie down and place the crystals on top of the body location of each chakra. Here are suggested crystals for each chakra:  
 
Root: Red tiger eye, red jasper , garnet, and ruby  
 
Sacral: Carnelian, hemetite  
 
Solar Plexus: Citrine, yellow aventurine, yellow topaz, amber and yellow
jasper
 
Heart: Rose quartz, rhodochrosite, aventurine, emeralds, green and pink
tourmaline  
 
Throat: Blue lace agate, blue topaz, aquamarine, turquoise  
 Ear: Pink tourmaline  
 
Third Eye: Clear quartz, moonstone, sapphire  
 
Crown: Sugalite, amethyst. Feel the crystals’ fine vibration loosen any hardened fear ener gy fromthe
chakra. If you breathe deeply and tune in, youmay feel the sensation of the
crystals’ pulsations. You can also place a crystal under your pillow , on your nightstand, or
under your bed, and allow your chakras to be cleared while you sleep. Some practitioners recommend taking a bath in which crystals are placed
in the water . Other healers advise drinking gem elixirs—that is, finely
ground crystal or gem powder mixed into distilled water and then
consumed. Massage
Therapeutic massages increase the flow of chi ener gy and release
darkened spots from the chakras. It’ s best to have a massage in a tranquil
environment, such as a dim room with quiet background music. T ry to work
with a massage therapist who has a pleasant demeanor . Otherwise, you may
inadvertently absorb his or her negative ener gy. If you are amassage therapist, you are probably aware that the chakras in
your hands and arms absorb the negative ener gies released from your
clients during a massage. I have clairvoyantly seen this negative-ener gy
effect in my massage therapist clients; it appears as if they are wearing long
black gloves. You can deter this ef fect by placing several live plants near your arms
while you work. The plants absorb the negative ener gy, much like they
absorb carbon dioxide. The plants transmute the negative ener gy and extract
the core of love contained within everything. Or , visualize light cleansing
your arms and hands.Flower Essences and Aromatherapy
The fragrances of certain flowers open the chakras. For instance, pink
roses open the heart chakra, and star gazers and tuberoses open the third eye
and crown chakras. Y ou can derive these benefits from having the actual
flowers nearby (I keep star gazers in my of fice and next to my bed), or by
using flower essence vials. Sea Salt Baths
Salt has wonderful electrical and healing ef fects upon the body , especially
when we soak or swim in salt water . After a long and dif ficult day , a quick
way to clear the chakras and revive the spirit is to soak in a warm bath filled
with sea salt and fragrant essential oils. A void bath salts containing
chemicals; they’re expensive, anyway . You can purchase wonderful sea salt
in the spice section of any health-food store, many mainstream grocery
stores, and over the Internet. Y ou’ll save money by purchasing plain sea salt
and adding a few drops from a bottle of essential oils to give it fragrance. OceanofPDF .comOceanofPDF .comChapter Six  
Chakra and Aura Scanning
During the guided meditations, you saw and felt your chakras. Y ou noticed
their size and saw whether they had areas that glowed with white light or
were darkened by negativity . We call this “chakra scanning,” and it is not
your imagination. Y ou really saw your chakras in your mind’ s eye. As you get into a consistent habit of daily chakra clearing, your spiritual
sight will open further . You will see the ener gy centers within yourself and
other people. Y our clairvoyance will allow you to see others’ “true colors,”
or their auras. Chakra Scanning Another Person
You can scan another person’ s chakras in several ways:  
 
Partner Exer cise—Sit face-to-face with a partner . Your eyes can be
closed or open, depending on which feels most comfortable and natural. Hold the intention of looking inside their body , scanning for chakras. If you try too hard to see, or if you hold a fearful intention such as, “I
hope I don’ t make a mistake or a fool of myself,” your fear will block your
ability to see. Let the images come to you; don’ t feel that you have to chase
them or “make” anything happen. Remember , clairvoyance is an inborn
ability that we all have. Then, look for disks of primary colors of the chakras: red, orange, yellow ,
green, blue, and purple. See the red disk at the base of your partner ’s spine,
and the other colors in disks vertically atop one another . If your partner ’s chakras appear in dif ferent sizes or if they are very small
(the size of a grapefruit is considered a small chakra), then ask your partner
if you can increase their size. After obtaining your partner ’s permission,
visualize the chakras increasing in size until they are uniformly lar ge. Makethe lar gest chakra double in size, and then make the other chakras match
this size. Chakras can exceed the body’ s outline in size. Next, visualize a beam of white light cleaning each chakra. Y ou can
direct the white light, with your intention, to clean each chakra one by one. Keep going until each chakra glows, from the inside, with white light. Even though you may wonder if you are merely imagining that you are
seeing another person’ s chakras, let me assure you that it is very real. I had
a powerful confirmation of the reality of chakra scanning recently . I was getting ready to have a session with my client, Gloria. During each
of our previous sessions, I’d scanned and then cleansed Gloria’ s chakras. Each time we’d begun our sessions, Gloria’ s chakras were somewhat dirty . I fully expected that our impending session would be like no other . So I
began the session by asking Gloria to take a deep breath. I find that when a
person breathes deeply , I can easier see their chakras and issues. Still holding the expectation of finding dirty chakras, I was pleasantly
shocked to find Gloria’ s chakras—in fact, her entire body and aura—
sparkling clean! I looked all around inside her body , but couldn’ t find a spot
of dirt. “Gloria, you look great! What have you been doing?” I asked her . “Oh, I’ve been using your chakra tape morning and night for the past
month,” she replied. Her chakra-cleansing routine had cleared Gloria of all
psychic residue, and confirmed to me that our chakra scanning is not a
product of our expectations—since I had expected to find dirty chakras—or
our imaginations. This is real—very real and powerful. Remote V iewing —You can see the status of any person’ s chakras even
when the person isn’ t near you physically . Simply close your eyes, take a
deep breath, and visualize the person. Hold the intention of seeing inside
the person’ s body and looking at their chakras. You will see glimmers of
colored disks inside the person’ s body . Use your intention andwill to
brighten and sharpen the colors so that you can clearly see the chakras. Then, mentally ask the person for permission to clear and balance their
chakras. If you intuitively get a yes answer , continue with adjusting and
cleaning the chakras.If you receive a maybe answer , hold a mental conversation with the
person. Usually , you’ll find that they are afraid, and you can assuage these
fears. If you get a firm no reply , then you will need to decide whether to
proceed. Some people believe that conducting healings without permission
creates karmic imbalances, while others liken it to saving a drowning man
even if he refuses help. Seeing Auras
There is an old story about clairvoyant healer Edgar Cayce that
powerfully illustrates the value of seeing auras. Cayce was about to get on
an elevator , but then he noticed that everyone on the elevator had a
shrunken and dark aura close to their bodies, instead of glowing big and
bright. Upon seeing this, Cayce decided against entering. Moments later ,
the elevator malfunctioned, and it plunged to the bottom, injuring many
people. Cayce knew that people with extremely dim auras are headed
toward death or serious challenges. Although your experiences with seeing auras aren’ t likely to be so
dramatic, you will receive great insights into your relationships with others
through this ability . The more you work on opening your third-eye chakra,
the easier it is to see the ener gy field, or aura, around other people. Auras look like the wavering ener gy field around the sun. They are
constantly shifting in size, shape, and coloring, in perfect unison with the
person’ s thoughts and emotions. You can easily learn to interpret the meaning of auras by studying the
chart that follows. This information will help you in all situations, such as
knowing if a partner has high integrity , seeing the natural healing ability
within a therapist, and viewing a family member ’s state of mind. To see an aura, allow your eyes to soften their focus. Hold the intention
of seeing the aura, and use your inner vision to discern the colors you see. The aura surrounds a person’ s body like a cocoon of dif ferent colors lying
flush against the body shape. However , if a person has a rainbow-colored
aura, the stripes of color will emanate vertically away from the person’ s
body , like rays of sunshine.Aura colors surround the body like a glowing, colorful outline. Y ou can
receive information about a person by noticing the colors and size of their
aura. Usually , a lar ge aura means a strong, loving, or spiritual nature. Dim
or short auras usually mean fear or constricted ener gy within an individual. Here is a general interpretation of each common aura color . You will find
that these interpretations are usually accurate. However , it’s important to
always use your psychic discernment to interpret the meanings of an aura. Just as with dream interpretation, there are countless personal meanings
behind each color . You will intuitively know the true meanings of each aura
color when you see them. THE GENERAL MEANINGS OF AURA COLORS

Clearing the W ay
Your true self has boundless ener gy and crystal-clear intuition. Y ou’ll
enjoy the benefits of both characteristics by keeping your chakras cleared
and balanced. Any time you notice yourself feeling down for no obvious reason, clear
your chakras.Whenever you need a little extra insight before making a big
decision, clear your chakras. Before an important meeting, clear your
chakras. As you experience the broad benefits of cleared chakras, you will
naturally incorporate this routine into your day . As you’ve read, chakra
clearing doesn’ t have to take a lot of time. Y ou don’ t necessarily have to be
alone or close your eyes. So, please don’t procrastinate doing your chakra
clearing just because you have a busy schedule. After all, we can use extra
clarity during hectic days. You can use many of the chakra-clearing methods described in this book
while brushing your teeth, driving to work, or grocery shopping. Simply
hold the intention of clearing your chakras, and it is done. Like taking a nap, getting a foot rub, or taking a naturewalk, chakra
clearing is a natural avenue to greater peace, perspective, and vitality . In
fact, some of my most powerful chakra-clearing experiences have
occurredwhen I’ve used themoutdoors in a garden, near the beach, or in a
meadow clearing. One day , I had a miracle occur when I cleared my chakras at the beach. My husband and I were at a Newport Beach quartz rock jetty called “the
wedge.” I wanted to sit on the wedge rocks and meditate. W e carefully
selected a high, flat stone on which to sit, since high surf pounded lower
areas of the wedge. After sitting down, I took several deep breaths with my eyes closed. I
visualized a bright, diamond-white light cleansing my chakras. As I enjoyed
the beauty of the clear and bright colors of each chakra, I felt heart-swellinggratitude for life. The love I felt for everyone and everything enveloped me
in warmth. Simultaneously , I enjoyed the surf spray , which cooled my sun-
kissed skin. Everything is so perfect , I sighed, as I opened my eyes and
stretched. As I turned to climb down from our perch, I saw a bright object next to
me. It was a bouquet! I marveled at how a fresh bunch of purple orchids
and a fuchsia rosebud, tied with a bright pink ribbon, could have escaped
our attention as we sat on the rock. My husband didn’ t bring the flowers with him, since he was wearing only
a thin tank top and shorts, with no place to hide a surprise. There were no
other people close to us on the wedge who could have dropped the bouquet. And the flowers were too fresh to have been on the rocks long, especially in
the mid-afternoon heat. As I walked along the beach with our miracle bouquet, my inner voice
explained that the flowers were a heavenly gift to honor my experience of
universal love. I also heard, “Happy Birthday , Doreen,” which brought a
smile to my face, since the next day was my birthday . I now keep the dried petals of my miracle bouquet in my of fice as a
reminder to stay clear in all ways: my chakras, my intentions, and my love. My prayer is that you will choose to enjoy the benefits of clear living as
well! — Love and Angelic Blessings,

OceanofPDF .comOceanofPDF .comAbout the CD  
I created the enclosed CD specifically for busy people who don’ t have a
lot of time to meditate. It’ s short, sweet, and thorough. After Hay House
agreed to put out the CD (which originally was released as an
audiocassette), I asked the angels to help me find a wonderful musician to
play the musical accompaniment. The following month, I spoke at an expo in Pittsbur gh, Pennsylvania. While walking through the expo booths, I heard an amazing sound and
followed it to where a man was playing a piano. His name was Randall
Leonard, and I was pleased to discover that he’d accompanied many Hay
House authors (including Louise Hay herself) at workshops and on
recordings. Like me, Randall worked with the angels. W e both decided that
it was perfect for us to work together to create the Chakra Clearing
recording. I taped my voice first, and then sent him the recording so that he
could compose music to fit my voice. In the studio, I dimmed the lights, lit some Nag Champa incense and a
candle, and invoked Archangel Michael. I asked Michael to lend his
powerful, clearing ener gy to the recording. I certainly saw and felt his
presence there in the studio. Imagine how pleased I was to later learn that
Randall had also invoked Archangel Michael during his time in the studio,
while he recorded the music for the Chakra Clearing soundtrack! The result was very powerful, and one of the reasons why Chakra
Clearing became one of my bestselling audios. I’ve received positive
feedback from people around the world who’ve used the Chakra Clearing
audio, and The Chakra Clearing CD is also a required tool for all of my
psychic-development students in my certification programs. Why? Because
it’s the simplest and most ef fective method I know of to rapidly open the
psychic senses. The CD can also be used to clear the ener gy in homes, of fices, and
vehicles. It works like a “bug bomb” if you’ll simply play the CD
continuously in any room for about an hour . Many parents tell me that they
use the Chakra Clearing recording to clear their children’ s bedroom,enabling the child to sleep more soundly through the night. (I discuss this
further in my books, The Crystal Childr en and The Car e and Feeding of
Indigo Childr en, both published by Hay House.) The first half of the CD is best used in the morning or early afternoon to
help you set positive intentions for the day . These intentions help you attract
and manifest joyful and harmonious situations and people during that day . The second half is a wonderful relaxation tool to help you meditate before
bedtime or at the end of a stressful day . Many people tell me that they fall
asleep while listening to this. They sometimes worry whether they’re
getting the full benefit if they sleep during the recording. Rest assured that
the unconscious mind still hears the messages and music on the Chakra
Clearing CD, even if the conscious mind wanders or falls asleep. Just
having the CD on, playing in the background while you work or play, is a
powerful way to elicit increased ener gy and serenity . As you listen to the recording, you may notice your body quiver in
response to certain phrases. This is a positive sign that you’re releasing
stored-up ener gy related to that particular issue.When your body stays calm,
it’s a sign that you’ve fully cleared the lower ener gies associated with that
chakra. It’ s important to be in a receptive mood, and not try to make
something happen while listening to the CD. Positive intention, not
willpower , is how we open and clear our chakras. My prayer is that you’ll
enjoy the CD, and allow your higher self and the angels to do all of the
work for you. It’ s so vital to allow yourself to receive, since you give so
much of yourself to the world. May you enjoy this gift that you give to
yourself! Caution: The enclosed CD features meditation/visualization exercises that
render it inappropriate for use while driving or operating heavy machinery . OceanofPDF .comPositive Feedback  
on Doreen Virtue’s 
Chakra Clearing CD 
Ever since the audio version of Chakra Clearing was first released in
mid-1997, I have received many letters and comments from people who
regularly listen to it. Often, as I walk through an expo or other spiritual
gathering place, people stop to tell me anecdotes related to the Chakra
Clearing CD. One woman said that whenever she becomes agitated, her little grandson
will reach for the CD and say , “Here, Grandma, you need to listen to this.”
Another woman told me that her mother healed from a seemingly serious
illness by listening to the CD twice daily . And singer -songwriter Debbie
Voltura said that after first listening to Chakra Clearing, she immediately
wrote a powerful new song. Of course, as mentioned throughout this book, you don’ t need to listen to
the audio version to attain benefits. Simply reading the meditations in this
book is powerful. Here are some comments from people (printed with their permission)
who have had positive results from listening to the Chakra Clearing CD:

center ed in loving ener gy, felt mor e connected to Spirit, could mor e easily
catchmyself when slipping into ‘fearful ego,’moved thr ough the days more

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Etheric cords most commonly extend to our siblings, followed by (in
descending order of what is most commonly found) our father, mother, ex-
spouse, ex-lovers, current spouse or lover, our house, children, and close
friends. Fear within our relationships forms these cords. The fear may be
characterized as codependency, attachments, fear of abandonment, or
unfor giveness. Etheric cords act like hoses, with ener gy directed back and
forth between both people. Therein lies the problem. If the person to whom you are attached is having a life challenge, that
person will siphon ener gy from you. He or she will draw upon your ener gysupply through the etheric cord. Y ou will then feel drained, without
knowing why. Very often, the people you have had sexual relationships with are
attached to your sacral chakra. The people with whom you’ve experienced
conflict are attached to your solar plexus. Those whomyou grieve over are
attached to your heart chakra. Those with whom you’ve had painful relationships, or relationships
where you carried all the weight, are attached to your shoulders. This is, in
my experience, the root cause of shoulder and neck pain. A female client of mine complained of having multiple life challenges in
her finances, health, and love life. I immediately saw that she had many
large etheric cords extending from her back and shoulders. I discerned that
the cords were attached to her deceased father, with whom she’d had a
contentious relationship. I asked her to be willing to for give her father as we cut the cords. Simultaneously, I asked her father to be willing to for give himself, since
hewas remorseful about his past relationshipwith his daughter. When both
people were completely willing to for give, the cords parted. My client
reported improvements in all areas of her life immediately following our
session. When we are attached to our home or geographical locations, etheric
cords extend fromthe bottomof our feet, into the ground. I recently worked with a client who said that she wanted to move. However, she complained that her house wasn’ t selling. I saw that she had
many etheric cords extending from the bottom of her feet into the house’ s
foundation. I explained tomy client that her attachment to the homewas preventing its
sale. W ith her permission,we cut the cords. T wo days later, her house sold at
the full asking price. Cutting cords doesn’ t mean “I don’ t love you or care about you
anymore. ” Cord cutting doesn’ t necessarily lead to breakups or abandoned
relationships. It simply means that you are releasing the dysfunctional parts
of your relationships. Remember, fear is the opposite of love, and etheric
cords (and all attachments) are created from fear. Some people worry that they may cut cords to their own soul fragments
—that is, the parts of themselves that splintered of f during traumaticepisodes. This can’ t occur when you hold the intention of only cutting the
cords that block you from feeling full joy and ener gy. Your soul fragment
cords will remain uncut by holding this intention. Or, you can call back your soul fragments and reintegrate yourself by
visualizing a shower of white light encircling your body. Mentally ask that
all pieces of yourself be completely reunited with your true self. Y ou may
see little “you’ s” bounding toward you, like little beings on rubber bands
bungee-jumping in your direction. These little soul fragments will be
completely healed of all residual fear or trauma as they reenter you through
the white light shower. Cutting Etheric Cords
There are two main ways to cut etheric cords. The fastest and simplest
way is to mentally call Archangel Michael to come to your side and clear
away all cords that are draining you. If you are unfamiliar with Archangel
Michael, his primary role is to clear away all dark ener gy. You can ask
Archangel Michael to come to your side any time. Y ou can even ask him to
live with you permanently. He has the ability (as do we, in truth) to be with
everyone simultaneously. You will notice an immediate increase in ener gy and peacefulness when
you ask Michael to cut your cords. The second way is to cut the etheric cords yourself, or ask a friend or
healer to do it for you. If you do it yourself, simply visualize holding a pair
of scissors, a knife, or a sword. See or feel yourself cutting the etheric
cords. Y ou can either think about a person to whom you know you are
attached and then hold the intention of cutting the cord, or you can hold the
intention of cutting all of your cords. The sensation of cutting your own cords, or those of another person, is
palpable. Y ou can feel the thickness and density of the tubing as you cut
through it with your sharp instrument. If there is any resistance to cutting
the cord, this signals unresolved fears or unfor giveness held toward the
person to whom the cord is attached. Here is an af firmation to heal this
resistance: “I am willing to release all fear and unfor giveness so that I may
experience peace instead of pain. ”Clearing with Archangel Raphael
Raphael is the archangel in char ge of healing. He exudes a beautiful
emerald-green glow, which provides healing ener gy. You can invite
Archangel Raphael to enter your body and clear your chakras of any
residual fear. Raphael will spin his green healing light around each chakra
and help you release all anxiety, guilt, or stress related to each chakra. Simply think or say, “Raphael, please enter my body and clear me of any
imbalances or negative ener gy now,” and it is done. You can also ask
Raphael to visit a loved one. The angels will never violate God’ swill, or a
person’ s freewill, so your angel invocation on behalf of another is a pure
gift of love from God, the angels, and yourself. OceanofPDF. comOceanofPDF.
