Q and A WEEKS 1&2 Hello and welcome to the Q & A from weeks 1 & 2 In the energy anatomy video, you shared a few insights into what areas of the body each chakra regulates. Could you tell me which chakra oversees the health of the skin? Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 1 of 21
Traditionally, it would be chakra 7 that does this. That means, chakra 7 is allocated the skin, however I generally detect skin problems in chakras 3 or 5. That is because most people have skin conditions if they have hormonal imbalances or liver issues. I must say I was a little daunted when you were going through the chakras and mentioning when things aren't working properly as I feel like all of mine are out of whack. I have been doing your chakra meditation daily for probably the last month and I find that when you ask me to focus on the chakras, I often have thoughts pop up which sometimes distract me from focusing. I'm guessing this aligns with my assessment that they are all out of whack, but what do you suggest I do? Keep persisting as I am? One thought I had was that each chakra brought up a different thought which may be the insight I need to heal, however by the time I get to the end of the meditation I don't remember them. I will do the journallng this week and see if it helps with jogging my memory. Is there anything else you suggest I do? Most people s chakras are completely out of whack, so don t worry about it. This is why you re doing Level 1 Most people also experience their thoughts drifting away when they try to focus on the chakra point. Keep going with it. It will get much easier, I promise. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 2 of 21
Don t worry so much this week about what is happening when you focus on the chakra. The most important thing at the beginning is to practice the meditation. Later, your insights will become clearer and you won t forget them. My question is related to the Chakra Cleanse Meditation. I want to make sure I am visualizing as effectively as possible. For each chakra, you reference an area of the body, for instance for the root chakra the focus is on the area of your lower abdomen and pelvis. Do I bring my attention to that whole area (the width of my pelvis), or how wide and expansive should my focus be? I've always visualized my root chakra at the base of my spine as a wheel, yet not that whole area, so I would love more clarification on how to focus on these areas for all the chakras. Thank you so much Great question I m sure a lot of people want to know this too. The chakras are great, big, spinning wheels. Much larger than most of us can imagine. But you don t need to focus on the entire area of the chakra to cleanse it. You just need to hold your point of focus somewhere within where the chakra is located. So keep focusing on the pelvic area, at the base of the spine. If it is easier to focus on a larger area, you can do that, but it doesn t make the chakra cleanse more effective.

1. Is it ok to do the Chakra Cleanse lying down? 2. If yes to the question above, is it ok if I start to drift off a bit? Today I kept falling asleep for a few seconds at a time. I heard everything, but was definitely falling asleep a bit (in a nice way). 3. In balancing my chakras, am I likely to naturally drop little addictive habits I have? Things that I have struggled to let go off on my own? 1. You can do the Chakra Cleanse lying down if you don t fall asleep. 2. It is ok to fall asleep for a few seconds but it isn t ideal. The Guided Chakra Cleanse meditation is very relaxing, so if you re drifting off, do it while you re standing. 3. Yes Once the chakras start to balance, the tendency towards addictions becomes less. An addiction is also an imbalance in Chakra 2, and you ll be learning all about this in a couple of weeks. 1. While doing the Chakra Cleanse Meditation, I felt queasy when I reached chakra 3 and 4, but the feeling left after a while and I felt a firm and stable energy in my body after that. Is this the chakras way of cleansing themselves? 2. Ever since I started doing the Chakra Cleanse Meditation, I have dreamt a few times of being covered in White Light and being able to levitate or fly in my dreams. Does this have any significance? Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 4 of 21
1. Yes You are cleansing your chakras. Good job 2. What great dreams It sounds to me like your body/chakras are loving all the attention and love, and that you re ready to leap into a new way of life. Can we write our healing wishes in the field called Your Healing Wish on the Monday night free White Light Healings? For instance, I may want to ask for support with the dynamics of some chakras that came out of the Chakra Cleanse Meditation. Yes you can. That is how I energetically support you through the course. You can use the field Your Healing Wish to communicate with me what is coming up for you and what you require support with. Hi Belinda, I'm just wondering if there are some common side effects experienced when undertaking the Chakra Cleanse Meditation? It may be completely unrelated, but I've started noticing a faint ringing in my ears after each session and was wondering if that's normal / a side effect? Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 5 of 21
The common side effects are: slight nausea, a feeling of constriction, needing to drink more water, a headache (chakras 5 and beyond) and tiredness. This is the first time somebody has told me about a faint ringing in the ears, but it could be due to more energy coming into your chakras and your body. If it is related to the chakras, it should pass in a couple of weeks when your chakras are more balanced. Could it also be that maybe you re noticing it because you re so still? My question is about doing the meditation. Is it important to see the color of chakra 7? Every time I do the Chakra Cleanse Meditation, I am unsure about the colors. Should I be visualizing indigo and violet in chakras 6 and 7? I really try to imagine the colors but succeed only with difficulty, and somehow it does not feel right. I am confused because I can easily see the white color at chakra 7 but can t see indigo or violet. At the beginning, it is not important to be able to see the colours of the chakras. It is much more important to be able to hold your point of focus on the chakras. If you can do this, then the chakras cleanse themselves properly and take in as much White Light as they need. In time it will happen organically then you will be able to see the colours. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 6 of 21
Yes, indigo is the colour of chakra 6, and violet is the colour of chakra 7. My only explanation of why it wouldn t feel right to see these colours is because you are not ready to work with them directly. Perhaps you need to work more on chakras 1-5, and in time you ll be able to see the colours of chakras 6 and 7. Chakra question: When you describe the chakras, it is sometimes like you are describing people. For example, you say we should think of them as eager, diligent helpers. Are they actually spiritual beings, a kind of elemental? White Light questions: What is the difference between the White Light portion of the Chakra Cleanse Meditation and White Light Healings? I understand that I am not yet able to channel White Light myself. What exactly happens in the White Light portion of the Chakra Cleanse Meditation, and what happens when you send White Light on Mondays? How can I best become receptive to the White Light on the Monday night healings? What exactly should I do? Should I do a relaxation? A visualization? I would be thankful for some practical pointers. Also, what about when my life situation does not allow me to focus on receiving the White Light healing? I often have to work on Monday evenings (I work in a busy ER). Is there any point in signing up for White Light healing if I can't consciously be present for it at the right time? Chakra question: They aren t actually spiritual or elemental beings, they are more like spinning wheels or vortexes of energy. They are alive though, so I suppose you could call them a being. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 7 of 21
When I say they are like diligent, eager workers, I mean they are energetically designed to take in energy, process it and generate it, so that every aspect of your life works. White Light questions: I have been sending White Light now for many years, and I know how to send it to people s energy fields and chakras so that healings happen. You will learn in Module 2 how to send White Light to yourself. In the Chakra Cleanse Meditation, you already learn how to bring White Light down into your energy field and flow it through your chakras, but there are other steps necessary to be able to successfully channel it for yourself. You will learn all about this in Module 2 On my website I talk all about the White Light, how it works and how you can work with it. Please go here to read: http://www.belindadavidson.com/white-light/faq/. It is better to receive the White Light consciously on Mondays at 9 pm, but if that isn t possible, receiving it while you are working is fine too. I am already seeing things differently and a path has just opened up which is very exciting, so bring it on I often suffer from very painful ovulations, sometimes doubling over in pain. There is no physical reason for this, but now I think this might be stagnant energy / blockages in my ovaries? Yes This is due to an imbalance in chakra 2, but I would also advise you to take natural progestrone cream - wild yam extract. This can help with painful ovulation.

I keep watching my children's behavior this week and relating it to the chakras, but I have read that a child s chakras are not fully formed until a certain age. Are you able to shed some light on this or point me in the best direction to understand more? A child s energy field isn t fully formed until around the age of 7, that is why young children want to be close to us and sleep with us - because our energy fields protect theirs I am trying to download the Chakra Cleanse mp3 on my iphone. Is this possible or am I just challenged? Loving the class so far Thank You. No, you can t download the meditation directly to an iphone. So no, you re not challenged You can download it to your computer and then onto your iphone via itunes. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 9 of 21
I've been on a spiritual journey for ten years. I read the books, I see the healing practitioners, I believe, I pray, I have faith. It always comes back to me feeling like I try so hard and no one cares, no one gives a damn and I m all alone. Is this course going to be more of the same? Will I feel good while I am doing it but then fall back into the same old rut? The reason why nothing has helped so far is because you have the subconscious belief that you, Try so hard and no one cares, no one gives a damn and that you re all alone. This negative subconscious pattern needs to change, otherwise you will keep on attracting it no matter what you do and how long you continue to be on the spiritual path. In this week s video I talk about the power of the subconscious mind, and how, if we work with the chakras, we can change and heal our deep-seated negative belief patterns. I believe if you do the Chakra Cleanse Meditation every day, you will start to heal this subconscious belief pattern, and then you won t try so hard anymore or feel alone. There are also different strokes for different folks, so if you feel that this work is not right for you, and you complete your homework for the first 60 days, then you can receive your money back. I've worked through the Chakra Cleanse twice now, and although I am feeling very relaxed, I can't see the colours of the chakras and am having trouble visualising the Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 10 of 21
colours pouring into them. I'm even having trouble visualising the object, e.g. strawberry, orange etc. Same with the White Light. Is this something that I will get better with over time, or is there something else I need to be doing? Thank you. This will get easier in time. Visualising the colours isn t necessary at first. The most important thing is being able to hold your point of focus on the chakras. Use the objects (strawberry, orange, etc.) as a guide for the colour of the chakra, not the shape. How can I see that the Chakra Cleanse is working and that I m not doing anything wrong? Is there some part of the Chakra Cleanse that I could be doing incorrectly? If you follow my guided Chakra Cleanse Meditation, you can t do anything wrong You will know that it is working when you feel lighter or more calm, or when areas of your life start to work better. When our chakras are balanced, life is a flow... If you don t follow my Chakra Cleanse Meditation it may take longer to achieve the results you want. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 11 of 21
What do chakras actually look like? And can I identify which one is not working well? In the past days I felt a throat ache for no reason. Is something like this a sign that, for example, my throat chakra is starting to work due to the meditation? The chakras look like spinning wheels, like mini vortexes, but don t concern yourself with trying to see them now. That will come later. As you get better at the Chakra Cleanse, you will start to feel the blockages as well as the flow in each chakra. That is how you will know which one is and isn t working well. Yes, your throat chakra is getting cleansed and cleared. Belinda, on your journey to the White Light and chakra health, have you discovered God? Is God part of your practice? Which God you do mean? The Christian God? Or do you mean the source? I recognise God to be the absence of fear, the place where unconditional love resides. For me God is an energy, love... it has no form. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 12 of 21
Once I have completed the Chakra Cleanse Meditation for the night, are all the chakras completely open and clean after each single meditation? Or does it take practice to fully do this each time? How long do they stay open, clean and clear? 12 hours, 24 hours, etc? What time of the day is it best for this practice? As I have been doing it at night after the kids are in bed, I essentially wanted to know if I am still clean and clear for the entire next day? I have experienced anxiety for the last two days, only late afternoon (which is unusual), when I have had an extra cup of coffee and I start thinking about finances. It is possible to have developed a caffeine sensitivity from the meditation? Are there any subtle side-effects that I can be aware of from the meditation and having clear energy centers? It takes practice to fully cleanse the chakras, and it may take some time until you can do this, but after you have done the Chakra Cleanse they will be quite clear for a number of hours. I recommend the Chakra Cleanse Meditation to be done first thing in the morning, but for many of us - especially those of us with small children - that isn t possible. It s fine to do it at night but try not to fall asleep Caffeine is not good for the chakras, so it doesn t surprise me at all that your chakras are rebelling Try to get off caffeine asap. You re chakras will love you for it. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 13 of 21
What do I do if I feel tension building up,or if I feel too tired to get more energy? This often happens to me in the evening, though in the morning it s much better. Do your Chakra Cleanse Meditation. You may not feel like it, but it will really help I have been doing the Chakra Cleanse Meditation every day this week. For the last four days my skin has begun to break out into pimples on different areas of my body. Could this be due to the cleansing effect of the meditation? Yes When we begin to cleanse our chakras, it activates the self-healing mechanism of the body and we start to detox. Drink water with a few squirts of lemon juice and thank your chakras for helping you get clean. I struggle to relax fully during the guided Chakra Cleanse, so I hope to do it first thing when I wake up in the morning, and again just before going to sleep. Do you think that these times are the most beneficial in regards to the mediation? Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 14 of 21
Yes, do it first thing in the morning. I love starting my day this way, and if you want you can do it at night too, but that is a lot of chakra cleansing time. Really, you only need to do it once a day. Many people like to do it in the evening because that is when they finally get some time for themselves, however a lot of people that do it at night fall asleep with it. That is ok too, because you will still get some benefit, even though it s not ideal. After watching this week's training videos, I listened to the guided Chakra Cleanse Meditation. When I reach chakra 6, I start to experience a headache with an intense dull ache in my temples and across my forehead. I have only completed the cleanse twice but I am a little hesitant to listen to it again just yet. The training materials don't mention anything about protection before working on the chakras, so I was just wondering if there is anything else I can do to prevent the headache? If you have a drink of water after the chakra cleanse and you still have a headache, you most probably had a reaction in chakra 6 because it s very blocked. Keep going with it because there is something there you need to heal. (In next week s training video, I II tell you all about how we heal blockages and what symptoms can occur.) You don t need to protect yourself before you do the Chakra Cleanse. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 15 of 21
Actually, the best way to protect your energy field is to do the Chakra Cleanse Like I mentioned previously, you got a headache because chakra 6 is blocked. It is absolutely natural and normal to have healing symptoms occur when we start cleansing our chakras. I am an evolutionary astrologer, which means that I look closely in the birth chart to find what people have 'come in with' this lifetime. Obviously I do a lot more than that, but my question is this: when you say it's absolutely not necessary to delve back into what or why you have certain issues, it makes me wonder if my work is then unnecessary. Then I got to thinking, if I don't have your ability to read people cold but I can do it through the birth chart, will I have the tools by the end of this course to heal them? (This is a way I can see of bringing the two together.) I love this question. It is true that it isn t necessary to understand what is wrong with us to heal ourselves, however most people like to know why they are the way they are. When I do a medical intuitive session, I read all the factors that contribute to a person s unique character and life, and I tell them about it. They don t need this information to heal themselves - because only the present moment, the now, brings about permanent and lasting change - but it does help them understand themselves much better, and it opens their eyes as to how the soul s journey on Earth works. When people understand that astrology, past lives, their parent s beliefs, cultural conditioning, their time in the womb, etc. all contribute to shape their belief systems and current lives, they become much more expansive and spiritually-minded. They then know that they need to be responsible for themselves and changing their lives, otherwise they won t be able to change their destiny. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 16 of 21
There is a place for informing people about their past, but only if it encourages them to seize the now and set about to change themselves energetically. Of course, we can never heal others. We can only share with them the tools we know so that they can heal themselves. Is it okay to do the Chakra Cleanse Meditation when pregnant? Absolutely What a fabulous start for you and your baby When doing the Chakra Cleanse Meditation, should we be breathing in through our nose or our mouth or both (does it matter?). I always say breathe in and out the nose. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 17 of 21
When I'm doing the Chakra Cleanse, I have trouble with my chakras growing too large I'm loving the meditation and am doing ok with the focusing and not struggling too much with internal chatter. I've done it for the last six days and am enjoying it more every time, but am finding now that as I breathe colour into each chakra, it just takes in more and more and isn't very good at stopping. I imagine my chakras as a kind of reel and I m wrapping beautiful coloured wool fleece around it. Does it matter that they grow and encroach on another chakra's territory or do I just go with it? Ha This is fabulous Your chakras are really loving it. They are greedy for it. Keep going with it. The chakras are much bigger than most of us imagine them to be, especially when they are happy and humming. Our chakras are always encroaching on each other s territories. Overlaps always happen. Just a short content question - when you had the Aura Soma reading, and a 5-week delay before the nightmares stopped, were you using that (or another) Aura Soma oil during those 5 weeks, or was the Aura Soma bottle used just as a divining tool? Thank you. Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 18 of 21
Yes, the aura-soma bottle was only used as a divining tool. I never used it or applied it to my body. It was only the subconscious mind therapy session that healed me. Yesterday I went to see a friend and traveled by train. As the sun was shining through the windows, there was a wonderful colour reflection on my upper leg; a rainbow colored reflection. I thought these are the colours of the chakras I am currently working on. What do the rainbow colours have to do with the chakras? It is interesting and I have never thought of it in this way. Does the rainbow reflect auras? The colours of the rainbow have everything to do with the chakras, and you ll be learning all about this when you learn about each chakra. So, stay tuned 1. How is the Chakra Cleanse Meditation different from a general deep meditation? Would a general deep meditation achieve a similar effect when the focus of the meditation is to allow the body to rebalance itself? 2. It seems that I cannot feel some chakras very well, especially the lower three and the crown chakra. Does this mean that they need work? Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 19 of 21
3. When I do not feel the chakra, I have a harder time maintaining my focus. I have been putting my hand on the chakra. Are there other way to maintain focus on the chakra? 4. Can you talk a little more about what it is we should be writing in the diary? Thanks in advance 1. A general deep meditation will make you relaxed and bring you into the present moment, but it doesn t target working with each one of the chakras. In Level 1 you get to know all of your chakras and you heal and cleanse them. 2. Yes. If you can t feel the chakras well, it means they are under-active. You will learn all about under-active chakras in weeks 3 & 4. 3. Yes. Putting your hand on the area of your chakra is a great way to do it. I recommend this way all the time. Most people struggle to focus at the beginning but it will get easier. I promise. 4. I will tell you all about this too in Weeks 3 & 4, but for now all you need to know is that you ll be journaling your experiences with mindfulness, the chakras and White Light. Should I close my eyes when doing the Chakra Cleanse Meditation or keep them open? Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 20 of 21
I would recommend to close them. Most people find guided meditations much easier to follow when their eyes are closed. That s it for Weeks 1 & 2. Talk soon In White Light + Love, Belinda Copyright 2008 2013 Belinda Davidson Page 21 of 21
