Posts on the chakras — what they are, how they work in lived experience, the practices that open or close them, and what each one teaches when you stop and listen.

Origins of Doubt
I’m having a moment of doubt, and I’m not sure what the origin is. What I’m worried the origin is money. That’s why I have to be absolutely sure before I make any decisions. The issue? It’s a lot of money. From the Bookshelf Give Your Life Direction — 23 life-coaching tips to get unstuck…

Chakra Changes
While flattened on the sofa, too sick to move and yet my mind was racing, I realized that I’ve had some significant changes in my chakras over the past 4 months. Funny that I’d be thinking about my energy centers when I have zip for energy. My root (first) chakra has really opened/strengthened in a…

Law of Attraction: Healing Comes in Strange Ways
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. I guess this is the week for big insights. Two big ones in two days. A couple of years ago, I met someone while attending a healing circle. He was interesting and gave me some advice that was extremely helpful to me in…

Energetic Leashes
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. As I was finishing dinner with the girls a few nights ago at a nice little Italian restaurant, something hit me in the pit of my stomach. A wave of energy, direct to my third chakra. I’d been doing pretty good for the…

Energies, Exponentially
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. Some connections are harder than others to break, particularly when you don’t really want to break them. Both parties have to want to. Otherwise, you just keep re-attaching and feeling the other’s pain. I’ve noted that with a number of people in the…

Slow Progress
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. I’ve started eating again…a little, at least. It’s hard to break the cycle of nausea that just won’t go away. Still, it’s progress, however slow. But today I had half a fountain coke and half a sweet tea, a third of a tasteless…

The Best Course of Action
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. Shannon is a Goddess-send to me right now. She and I have been through a lot of grief over the past six months—breakups, deaths, disruption, a lot of loss. In spite of spending the evening with her and a tow truck, she indulged…

Eclipse Epiphany: Re-Defining Taking Care of Yourself
I could barely get out of bed this morning. I felt like crap, and with a day ahead of me that required I at least pretend not to feel like crap. At first, I thought it was lack of sleep. I’d had one of those elderly-parents-driving-me-nuts bouts of insomnia last night, so I could hardly…

Boys Behaving Badly
Sometimes boys behave a certain way. It doesn’t matter how nice we are to them. They run from us, whether out of habit or fear of being penned in. You offer an outstretched hand and they scamper off in the other direction as fast as they can go. You’re left wondering why. Last time they …

How an Empath Feels
One of Tom Petty’s songs that I’ve always liked is “You Don’t Know How It Feels” (to be me). Most people do feel alone or lonely or angry or depressed, and they think they’re all alone in their feelings. Some people wonder how other people feel. Let’s go deeper than that. Not how does…

Psychic Head Games and an Abundance of Free Will Choices
On my way to work yesterday, I put aside my tape recorder and my dictation, and I had a little talk with the Gods about choices. “What am I supposed to do now?” I asked. “I know where I’m supposed to be, but I just can’t see how to get there.” Metaphorically speaking, I was…

Dreaming of the Dead
I’m nervous. My parents, my dad especially, are 80-ish and not in good health, and this morning, I woke from the “death dream.” I’m not sure how far back it goes on my mother’s side of the family, but I know I’ve had them since I was a little girl. Dreaming of the Dead.…
