So Purkh

I'm at he first half of Alma 24  And it is very  up lifting and  helps us remember  the gifts of God and how much he loves us. For instance verse 14: And the great God has had mercy on us, and made these things known unto us that we might not perish; yea, and he has made these things known unto us beforehand, because he loveth our souls as well as he loveth our children; therefore, in his mercy he doth visit us by his angels, that the plan of salvation might be made known unto us as well as unto future generations.
Im also listening to  So Purkh. I just thought it was beautiful to be listening to something so similar to what I am reading

Root Chakra guest post by Syl Carson

Root Chakra One with Syl Carson

Syl is an Energy worker on a page I visit often  she has some fun insight on the chakras that is worth praying about and thinking on.  She plans to post info on ALL the Chakras.  Please if you decide to  connect her thoughts with yours on your page please remember to give her credit. 
 
The idea of “Chakras”, came from the traditions of yoga. Ancient-Eastern “seers” in the Indus Valley (present-day Pakistan) perceived this philosophy in meditations about living so you can become immortal. They saw seven lotus flowers and other metaphor-archetypal-physiological wisdom. As that is the basis of both energy-healing and LDS observance, I have a deep love for the Chakras and how much they can help me on that path.

In 2001 when my yoga students wanted to learn more about chakras, I was nervous about messing with anyone’s “mojo” in my stewardship as teacher within an LDS culture, so I went to the American Fork Temple to ask the Lord, if I had permission to teach about them. Anytime I attend the Temple, I always seem to get my answers in the dressing-room or chapel, before I even start my session, initiatory or sealings; go figure, but there you have it.

So, as I was sitting in the temple chapel, I opened the bible to a random page, just to see what the Lord would like me to know, as I began my session. The page was Revelation 1: 10-12, which said something to the effect of: I heard a sound as a trumpet and turned to see the voice who spoke and saw seven golden candlesticks. From the center “candlestick” (which cross-references to a scripture describing a “flower” or blossom to hold light) Christ stepped forward and said: “I am Alpha and Omega…Take what thou seest and teach it to the seven churches which are in Asia”. I figured that was a pretty good answer, so here we go:

The Chakras are both real and metaphor, both physical and spiritual. Chakras are also energy centers in your body, that for the most part, have been taught as seven separate compartments, which they are not. Your chakras are all interconnected. Chakras all work within, without, on behalf of, or against each other (depending on your level of awakening and how you are using the gifts of your agency, which varies from person to person at any given moment).

In the chakra matrix, there is a current called “Liberating” that moves energy up, clears blocks-limitations; this is the “works” part of life, where we have to show up; coming upward through your inner-light. There is also a downward-current called “Manifesting”; this is the Grace current (coming in through your outer-light-countenance-aura), where blessings flow Divinely down through you. The chakra story is about how we learn to work and allow these two currents to flow simultaneously. The better we get at this, the more holographic our life becomes. I use the word “holographic”, in relation to “Atonement”, meaning everything we heal or align is affected by everything else; ideally through the Atoning sacrifice of the Savior.

When BOTH currents can flow simultaneously, your chakras become one stream, activating something called our “Light-body” (one word). When the Light-body is activated, we are experiencing Eternal Progression for ourselves (along with an uplifting effect on those around us). In the chakra story, Eternal Progression doesn’t happen once you pass the test of this life, this life is a huge opportunity to increase your tolerance for Light. The ability to withstand more and more light and the importance of learning to do so can be found in D&C 88. The greater your light, the closer to God-Eternal-Source Presence you will naturally be by the time you are complete in your life here and move “on”. When folks talk about “shuffling off this mortal coil”, the “coil” they refer to is…wait for it…Your Chakras!

D&C 88:67 says: “And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things”.

So with that intro, here’s the base, beginning chakra: Root Chakra 1 located at the base of your spine, down through your legs and feet

On the first day of Creation, Heavenly Father (along with Christ and Archangel Michael) “Organized Matter”. The first Chakra is about just that. How well do you organize what matters most to you everyday in your physical world? Root chakra work is grounded in all things new-birth, dog-poop, diapers, diet, finances (money is just a current by the way, that’s why they call it “currency”), physical health, alone time, beginner’s mind, elementary work-labor, setting good boundaries that give you “rooted-support” (the meaning of the original name of the Root Chakra 1).

When you have a healthy “Root Chakra”, you are grounded in all the goodness of mortality an able to feel physically connected to principles of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. This earth element chakra, is the root or foundation of the all the other chakras, and physically situated at the base of your spine, legs and feet. It is considered the “sleeping place” of an awakening manifestation, we call “Mother Nature”. Your Root holds all your potential in the raw. The vibrational range of the red color spectrum, things move pretty slow at the Root. Issues that arise from your Root Chakra usually come-up for you to learn let go of your fears and embrace greater patience in the foundational circumstances of your life.

How is your Root Chakra 1: How often are you afraid of life’s risks, over-committed, physically tired, in financial lack or physical disarray-distruption, or manifesting the life you choose or are just perpetually dreaming of?

These are all indications that your Root Chakra 1 needs you to get back to basics. Taking some time to work with red, protein foods, diet-routine, household-budget and organizing the physical matters of your life all benefits this energy and how it manifests throughout all the areas of your physical life. See what it stirs up. How hard is it?

The physical manifestation in our lives is the result of either the work we are doing to Liberate ourselves, to “prove” worthy, as we work up the chakras or it is the FULL manifestation of our ability to feel that worth and allow the Grace of Christ’s Atoning Sacrifice to move down through us. The more authentic-honest we can be with what’s going on with our Root Chakra 1, the more capable we become to both move up though our Sacral Charka 2 undistorted and allow physical motivations, circumstances and blessing within the hologram of all chakras, to move down through it.

Keep in mind that we all (c-sections notwithstanding), are Divinely designed to Crown through our Mother’s Root chakra to begin this experience.

My motivation for posting is as follows: I am not asking you to enroll in any of the programs I offer. I am sharing these posts because I feel impressed to support both the testimony that Christ is at the center of not only the Chakras but of all healing and that He is the source for any information that I have compiled, which I am apparently supposed to teach. You can take it or not, but if you do, I would suggest you carefully pray about how it relates to you personally and get your own answers related to this topic. I’m sharing my posts out of love:

I do have one request specific to the physical world and the time I am investing:

In 2011, I was diagnosed with stage 3 “invasive” breast cancer (which Heavenly Father and I, with much prayer from friends and family have cleared). The “Invasive” part of that diagnosis was from this charka work, that had been plagiarized, due to multiple copyright infringements, by a woman I was affiliated with at the time. So I just ask that if you use or share the images-content from this seven-post discussion, that you link it to my work, so others can find and sustain what I do to support myself and my son, who is currently serving a mission in the Philippines. This is important to honor my body’s sensitivity to invasive energy (one of the things I am here to work on) and to hold the place for energy-workers to value and be valued for what we do. I hope his helps you as a visual metaphor-light therapy for understanding your Root Chakra 1 a bit better.

My peace and blessings to you as you work with your Root Chakra 1.

Fight for positive Sexuality

We hear a lot now days about the fight against pornography.  I do admit that pornography is a BIG problem even among the Saints.  But I have also learned that it is much better to fight bad things by filling your life with good. Joseph B. Wirthlin in his talk Seeking the Good says "We can fill our lives with good, leaving no room for anything else. We have so much good from which to choose that we need never partake of evil." The mantra -fighting the fight against pornography- isn't nearly as powerful to me as -Fighting for  Positive Sexuality. To me this includes so much more than DON'T DO THAT! I want to be in a place where I can teach all those around me that Sexual Energy is a gift from God that can be harness, controlled, shared, and a powerful blessing even to those who are not sexually active.
So how do we harness and control and share our powerful sexual energy if we are celibate or not sexually active right now?   Its easy we train our minds and body to live in a higher state. As we make good choices we feel a CHANGE in our hearts. As the sexual energy rises it goes up the cerebral spinal chakras  and we feel that energy lift us higher.  So we spend our day doing things that lift the body, and the mind, and the spirit.  Good things raise our vibration of our bodies, sin and negative things lower our vibration.  If you have done enough bad things you  put off that "bad vibe" that others pick up on and if they are spiritually minded they really don't even like being around people who have that "bad vibe". Good people also put off a strong
The LDS Conference Center seats 21,000 people

vibration. If you are spiritually minded you will pick up on it. The prophet's vibration is so strong and large it fills the whole conference center. If you have ever been to conference You KNOW the moment he comes into the room. No announcements are made like "all rise here comes the prophet!!!", you don't even have to be watching for him to come in, but as soon as he  comes in that great big room you FEEL him, and you stand.
 When we are balanced and filled with light we, like the people of King Benjamin, will have "No more disposition to do evil. " (Mosiah 5:2)  Part of being balanced is filling our life with the good things of God. Let me list a few things that raise a persons vibration. Healthy eating, scripture study, service, smiling, temple work, PRAYER, exercise, playing with children, connecting with a new born baby, taking the sacrament and repenting, meditating, connecting with nature, being grateful.... There are so so many. But the ones that have the most lasting effects and that raise the vibration quickly and safely are Prayer- deep meditative conversation with the Father.  Applying the atonement through repentance and taking the sacrament.  Reading your scriptures in a way that you are learning and feeling the spirit.  Going to the temple. All these are things we do with our minds and for our spirits, they  raise the vibration far but to reach even farther in spiritual areas we need to master our bodies and quiet our minds. The fastest way to do this is by doing Kundalini Yoga and meditation in addition to those things listed above.
 I am going to assume that you know all about how wonderful meaningful prayer, scripture study, keeping the Sabbath day holy and attending meetings, and temple work bring to your life, so I wont go deep there, but I want to talk about  what  Kundalini Yoga and meditation will do for you.
Kundalini Yoga (YK) strengthens the nervous system, and quiets the mind. It also balances the bodies energies. A kundalini rising is where the energy that is located at the base of the spine moves up the spine to the top of the crown.  It is a way of coming unto Christ. We are moving our energies and our divine potential out of the base "natural man" energy of the 3 lower earthly chakras up to the  upper triangle or what is also known as the spiritual chakras.  This movement of energy helps us connect with God, Christ, and our divine purpose on this earth.  We move  from a fallen state of energy- or lower vibration to a higher state of energy- or a higher vibration.  This is described as pure bliss.  You really have no more disposition to do evil when you are in this state- its heavenly.
The body is the vehicle of the soul. We can do so much spiritual work but the body is an eternal blessing. If we do not treat it as such we will miss much of the purpose of this earth life.  KY helps us train the body to put off the natural man and move  forward and upward. KY also helps us  quiet our minds so we can feel, and hear, and see the things of God. - So what does all this have to do with positive sexuality?
 When our bodies are balanced, and our energy is flowing the way God wants it to, our desires change.  Instead of seeing our bodies through  Satan's lenses we begin to see them as the powerful beautiful creations and eternal blessings from God.  Satan tells us we are ugly, fat, unattractive , that body parts
are dirty or nasty. He helps us hate our own eternal blessing of a body- and the bodies or body parts of our spouses.) This does not help healthy sexuality.  If our sexual energies are too low (or our first and second chakras are not as big as they should be or spinning as they should) we have a low sex drive. We don't feel that God given need or desire to be intimate with our spouse. If our first and second chakras are too big and there is too much energy in them we can have an over active sex drive. This can be unhealthy and can lead to feelings of a need to release this extra energy. Many people turn to sex and feel there is still energy left to burn. Satan entices them to look at porn or engage in other unhealthy sexual activities to  try and "balance" this extra energy and meet the extra need and pressure this energy puts on their system.   This is not healthy and like all the temptations of the Deceiver it is a trap, leads to addictions, and a larger amount of energy that is not being spent doing  what God would have us do.
Kundalini Yoga and meditation balance that energy. It sends energy where it needs to go and converts extra sexual energy into creative energy.  It brings a low desire in to a normal range and high desires  down to normal range. The system is balanced and a healthy sexual relationship can exist.  This works for people who are not sexually active as well. The body, mind, and the spirit know that sexual activity must wait until after marriage and  the energy will be sent up along the chakras for a balanced system.
Sat Kryia is the go to  yoga kryia for balancing the lower triangle ( the first three chakras located at the perineum, in the pelvis and in the solar plexus).  This moves the energies up and  helps the chakras to get the right amount of energy and sends any extra energy up.
Below are two videos  that show  you how to do Sat Kryia.  Below is  a link where you can read the directions and the MANY other benefits of doing this kryia.  LINK
So instead of telling our youth  they need Stop looking at porn or Don't look at porn  or Dont masturbate, or  whatever!... Lets give them tools- something TO DO when the  urge and temptation hit. Or give them tools to use daily to raise their vibration so there is no urge or temptation because they will  have NO disposition to do evil.

Time


Time is not the way we think it is. The seconds fly by and you cant get them back. There are days and years and even precious minuets in the future but  we cant access them until they are in the present.  That is the way we view time. But time is not as set or as linear as we would like to think. Sometimes God lets us step in to time and see it as he does. Always before His face is the time of man. He sees all the future, present, and past. God has promised us all that he has- this includes a eternal view of time.  Christ understood this concept as well as many of the prophets.  Lets  take a look at a few scriptures shall we?

John 16 :33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Notice that this is when Jesus is talking to his disciples in the upper room before the atonement.  The atonement has not happened yet but he speaks as though it has been done already.  Keep your eyes open there are several times when this is done in the scriptures.  We find this kind of  futuristic talk in the Book of Mormon as well.
2 Nephi 1: But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a land of promise, a land which is choice above all other lands; a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed.

 Remember that at this point Lehi is still in the desert outside of Jerusalem.  He is speaking as though he was already there. He recognizes that  these blessings  will/ have come to pass.
The Nephites also  view Christs atonement in this manner. They look forward to it as if it had already happened.  There is much we can learn from this attitude.

When we do energy work (Energy Healing) God permits us to do wonderful things with time. We can go back and fix some things, we can  reach into the future for healing and understanding, we can pause the present situations and pray for more guidance before we continue.  Using these time manipulates has changed the way I pray.
Gratitude
Instead of only being grateful for things God has already blessed me with in my past I can thank him for blessings  that are coming for knowledge that is on its way, and like Lehi when I word it in the past tense is shows faith.  So I try to be thankful for the help that will come and speaking of it in the past tense. Since this isnt the way we usually do this lets have an example. We would normally say something like this.
Please Father in Heaven, Help me:
Find my keys
feel the spirit
feel better or get better soon

Lets apply the lesson from Lehi and  change our pleas to expressions of Gratitude  for blessings not yet realized in the present.
Thank you Father in Heaven For helping me find my keys in a timely manner and knowing where to look for them.
Great God of Heaven, Thank you! Thank you, for the measure of the spirit I feel and will continue to feel in my life. And for helping me to know the changes I have made and will make that help me feel the Holy Spirit strongly in my life.
Divine and Master Healer, Thank you for healing me and helping me to over come my sickness. Thank you Father for my wonderful body that is capable of healing, growing, and creating.

It is good to ask for the things we need and we are encouraged to do so. But I have also  felt power in thanking Heavenly Father for blessings that have not come to pass but talking about them as if they had.
Time is not linear anyway so in a way God already HAS blessed us with those blessings  and one can never say thank you too early.

Are you my Conscious?


Have you ever had the problem where your head and your heart dont agree?  When that happens which do you listen to? Who is right? Is  it better to judge things with the  heart and feeling or with the mind an logic?
Those are all great questions and the answer for you might be different depending on the situation. But read this  quote by  Tony De Mello and see what you think.

"People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head; it is actually done by the heart, which first dictates the conclusion, then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it."

If you have meditated for a while or done any amount of energy work this doesn't surprise you much because you know where your consciousnesses lives.  If you dont know, I mean really KNOW where your consciousness lives  take a min and find it.
Take three slow deep breaths.
Sit in  a royal stature (situp strait with shoulders back and  neck long,  you can smile if you want.)
Continue to breathe in and out slowly and deeply and ask yourself.  Where is my consciousness? Where does it live in my body? If you are good at "seeing things"  your consciousnesses looks like a small ball of light.  If you are like most people you will find that  this ball of energy, this light, your conscious does not live in the area of your head but at your heart.

 Side note....I love the part of Finding Nemo when they are in the dark abyss and Dorie asks Marlin  "Are you my Conscious?"

 As you read the scriptures pay attention to references of the heart... there are a TON of them.
Here are a few
  1 Kgs. 3:9-12 The Lord appears to Solomon and promises him a wise and an understanding heart

Proverbs 3:5  ¶Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

So if you are listening with your heart and understanding with your heart  you are paying attention to your conscious. We dont lean unto our own understanding (the mind) but we do what our heart guides us to do.
This is really important when it comes to listening to the spirit. Because the spirit also lives in our hearts.  Check out   D&C8:Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. 
This is great as long as we are doing our best to  listen to the spirit and be close to God. However the Holy Ghost is not the only thing that likes to dwell in the hearts of men.  We read  in Mosiah 3 :6 "And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men."
The devil knows that if he can block our hearts, put up walls around them, (Read about Heart Walls Here) fill them full of fear or possess them all together that our hearts will not work as they should.  The heart and its right to communicate the  promptings of the Holy spirit that dwells there in will fail in its responsibility if Satin and his devils are dwelling  there.  This gives new light to the scritpure found in   D&C 45:26  26 And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and men’s hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth.

In conclusion. Listen to your conscious so that the Holy Ghost which dwells there can  speak to your heart and mind. Keep your heart pure and free from the evil that seeks to inhabit  it. Our hearts will fail in their purpose if we dont make them pureand a place where the Spirit can  dwell in us.

Ways to do just that
Repent
Cast out Devils Demons  heart walls and other things that block the spirit
Be humble and keep your heart soft
Regular practice of Meditation
Yoga for the  4th chakra 
Fasting with intent
Reading the scriptures
Act on promptings even when they dont make sense to your head.
Do anything that helps the Holy Ghost burn in your heart regularly.

Ra Ma Da Sa - and the woman with the issue of blood




Ra Ma Da Sa
Siri Gaitri Mantra, also called the healing mantra or, Ra Ma Da Sa, Sa Say So Hung  is the  is the mantra for the sacred healing meditation first taught in the Summer of 1973.

Here is what the 3HO website has on it. 
 It was also practiced at every White Tantric Yoga® Course for the Mahan Tantric, Yogi Bhajan.This healing meditation is used to pray for healing energy for our friends, family, and ourselves.
Kundalini Yoga practitioners have been using this meditation for the last four decades and I encourage you to try it when you want to send healing energy to a loved one or even to yourself.

Practicing the mudra and the mantra properly will optimize the energy flow and will make this meditation all the more potent.
Posture: Sit in Easy Pose (sitting on the floor, with legs crossed) or in a chair with feet planted firmly on the ground, with the spine straight, and a light Neck Lock applied (chin pulled back slightly).
Mudra:  see my notes for other mudras. The mudra (hand position) is most important. The elbows are bent down by the sides, and are tucked comfortably but firmly against the ribs. The forearms are almost perpendicular to the floor, with the hands extended out at a 45 degree angle from the center of the body. Most importantly, the palms are perfectly flat, facing up, hands bent back at the wrists. You should feel a pull in the lowest part of your forearm as you almost hyper-extend your wrist to make the palms flat. (This tends to be the most challenging part of the meditation so it is important not to let the hands relax out of the position.) The fingers are kept side by side, except that the thumb is spread from the other four fingers.
Eyes: Eyes are closed.
Mantra: This mantra consists of 8 basic sounds:
Ra Ma Da Sa, Sa Say So Hung

This mantra taps into the energies of the sun, moon, earth, and the Infinite Spirit to bring deep healing. It is important to pull the navel point powerfully on the word Hung. Note that the word Hung is not long and drawn out. Rather, it is clipped off forcefully as you pull in the navel. Chant one complete cycle of the entire mantra with each breath. Then deeply inhale and repeat. Remember to move the mouth precisely with each sound. Try to feel the resonance in the mouth and in the sinus area.
Mental Focus: You can choose to mentally visualize the person or persons that you are wanting to heal, as you send this energy to them for their well­-being.
Time: Continue chanting for 11 to 31 minutes.
To End: To end the meditation, inhale deeply and hold the breath, as you offer a healing prayer. Visualize the person you wish to heal as being totally healthy, radiant, and strong. See the person completely engulfed in a healing white light and completely healed. Then exhale and inhale deeply again, hold the breath, and offer the same prayer again. Exhale, inhale, and hold, repeat the prayer, and exhale.
To complete, inhale deeply, stretch your arms up high, and vigorously shake out your hands and fingers for several seconds. Keep the arms up and hands shaking as you exhale. Repeat two more times and relax.
© The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan 1

Translation:
Ra means the sun and connecting with that frequency gives you energy.
Ma means the moon and it aligns you with receptivity.
Da is the the energy of the Earth, grounding you in your roots.
Sa is Infinity and as you chant this, your energy rises upwards and outwards drawing in the healing the the Universe.
When you chant Sa a second time, you pull the energy of Infinity into you.
Say is a way of honoring the all-encompassing Thou.  It is personal, like a loving name for God.
So is a vibration of merger.
Hung is the Infinite, the vibrating real.  It is the essence of creation.  (So Hung together means, I am Thou.)2

D&C 88:7-13 Is a cool comparison to this mantra.
This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made. As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made; As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made; And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand. And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings; Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God.
Note:
There is more than one mudra for this meditation.  You can do it as outlined above, If you have several people  there you can sit in a circle and place the person to be healed in the middle of the circle either mentally or physically they can sit or lay in the circle and  reap the benefits of the meditation.  Or you can do it this way. 
 Sit in easy pose.  The right arm is bent at the elbow the hand is up by your shoulder with the palm forward  with fingers and thumb close together. Put your left hand on your navel point.
Here is my teacher  isn't she lovely?
This is the starting position.  Start here at RA and the slowly in time with the mantra move your arm until it is strait and your fingers, and palm, and arm are level with the floor.

 When you say HUNG   the wrist bends  leveling out your arm in to one strait line  and is the last part of this motion. After Hung bring the arm back to the starting position as you inhale. 3

I did a 40 day Ra Ma Da Sa  with the intention of healing my daughters heart problems.  I also  tried to  heal myseIf. Usually envision things I dont want in my life or things I'm trying to get rid of, ailments, attitudes, thoughts, habits and so on. One day instead of envisioning pushing these things away with my hand, instead I pictured Christ as he suffered in Gethsemane and instead of pushing out all these bad unwanted things with my hand I reached out to him. Like the woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:43-48) I reached out to touch him and to have him heal me. I cried through most of the 11 min mediation. Much more powerful for me to reach out for his blessings and healing that come through the power of the atonement than it was to be trying to shove all my problems and inadequacy and ailments out of my life.

The armor of GOD

Here is a guest post

I share Yvonne Withers Russell post on  here with her permission. I will add my thoughts and ideas on a different post called "The Armor Of God Meditation- time with Heavenly Mother."   I just love her line of thought here. She is teaching in UT  so if you live in the area check her out. http://www.energyhealingconference.com/classes.html  and This liberatinglight.com is the website for her energy healing  practice.

On Sunday in Gospel Doctrine we were discussing putting on the Armor of God. I started to realize that each piece of the armor of God protects certain chakras AND that the type of spiritual armor becomes MORE significant when you understand what each chakra influences in your life. I never quite understood the traits/qualities/principles used to protect each body part in this lesson until this past Sunday.
Loins girt about with truth.
*This piece of armor protects the base and sacral chakras. A balanced Base Chakra gives you a sense of security, stability and a feeling of a balanced existence. Truth protects our sense of security, stability and of feeling balanced. The sacral chakra is your pro-creative powers, your ability to co-create children and it also represents your posterity. Truth protects our posterity. When we can recognize the lies we have believed about ourselves and others and instead accept the truth into our lives, we shed the false traditions of our fathers and protect our children from false and limiting beliefs.
Breastplate of righteousness.
 * This piece of armor protects the Solar Plexus (personal power) and the Heart chakras. When we protect our Solar Plexus chakra with righteousness, we do not exercise unrighteous dominion or control over other people. When we protect our Heart chakra with righteousness we increase our ability to have unconditional love for others. Doctrine & Covenants 121: 34-46 comes to mind and a re-reading of those scriptures with an understanding of these two chakras is really insightful.
Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
 *Carol Tuttle teaches in her Chakra 7 series that there is actually an 8th chakra that isn't directly on our physical body. It's purpose is to help us follow through or see our ideas to completion, manifest what we want, and to keep us grounded during meditation or other spiritual pursuits so we don't lose focus.
Preparation of gospel of peace
* This protects our foot chakra by helping us identify clearly the direction we should take in life so that can see our inspired ideas to completion, manifest what we want (a true Zion society fulfills not only needs but also wants), and help us develop the focus needed to meditate or pray.
Shield of faith.
 *Roman soldier armor does not have a piece of armor that covers the throat. And so it is with the Shield of Faith that we need to protect our Throat Chakra. The Throat Chakra is linked to our ears, and our ability to hear – both physically and intuitively. It is linked with understanding and being understood.
Our throat chakra is also a gateway or bridge between our psychological and spiritual selves. Our lower chakras represent our physical body (first chakra), emotional body (second chakra), mental body (third chakra), and relational self (heart chakra). Our third eye and crown chakra are linked to our intuitive, occult, and spiritual levels of being. Our throat chakra serves as the bridge between these two groups of chakras, just as our neck bridges our torso and head. When it is blocked we may feel as if we can not integrate spiritual experiences and insights into our daily awareness. For example, we may feel peaceful, calm, and wise within meditation or prayer, but not experience an increase in these feelings when we are off our meditation cushion or away from a house of worship. It is through exercising faith and sharing our testimony that we hope to be understood by those not of our similar religious beliefs. It is through faith that we gain understanding of all eternal truths. It is through exercising faith that we create spiritual experiences throughout our daily lives.
Helmet of salvation.
 *The helmet protects the Brow/Third Eye chakra and the Crown chakra. The Brow/Third Eye chakra is responsible for our intuition, or our ability to listen and heed the still, small, voice. The Crown chakra is our conduit to Heavenly Father. By protecting these two chakras with "Salvation" or through the Atonement of Christ, we can ensure that we are our lines of communication to and from the Godhead does not become infiltrated or corrupted by Satan's counterfeits.
Sword of God’s Spirit and His word through revelation. This does not directly "protect" our individual chakras, but by the Spirit and His word through revelation, we are better able to support each other. An enemy that is charging at my neighbor on the battlefield can be stopped by the sword I wield as I rely on the Spirit and God's word through revelation.
