How Clear Is Your Vision?

I’m deep in a guided meditation.

The instructor is asking us to call in our future successful selves and ask for guidance.

And I can’t see, feel, hear or know she’s there.

I’m feeling incompetent and ashamed because this isn’t the first time I couldn’t see my future successful self. 

I know I am supposed to visualize and feel the joy and happiness of my future— it’s how we manifest but, every time I try, allI get is empty, quiet and detached darkness.  

I feel defeated, again. 

Pushing past my embarrassment, I take a deep breath, pull up my courage and quietly ask my instructor what to do.

He smiles at me and says,  “Open your heart to yourself, because when you do, your channel to the divine opens your 6th and 7th chakras, your crown and third eye — then you’ll see yourself authentically and connect with your future successful self.”

“Really?”, I thought. “I’ve been opening my heart and forgiving myself for past mistakes for years . . . I must be doing something wrong”.

And then it hit me. There it was. The root cause of my heart being closed to myself-  I was still blaming myself for . . .  just about everything.  

My strong inner critic was ALWAYS calling out what I was doing wrong.  This part of me was keeping me on alert to be sure everything I did, said or represented about myself was “perfect” before I could relax and accept myself. . .  which never happened.

This wave of awareness pointed out that I was fighting a losing battle – nothing I did was ever perfect and beating myself up because I wasn’t — wasn’t motivating me to higher standards –- It was blocking me from seeing myself as the Divine sees me —“perfectly imperfect and lovable beyond words”.

The Chakras of Certainty and Faith

An open, clear vision of your dreams, goals, and deepest desires is essential to manifesting them and bringing them to life. But if you struggle to truly see yourself making an impact—having fulfilling relationships, living in abundance, or embracing the lifestyle your heart and soul crave—manifesting your heart’s dreams and desires can feel impossible.

Here’s why: when your heart is closed and defended – even to yourself- you may be protected from the heart breaks of rejection, betrayal, abandonment etc…

But you’re also closed off from the true love and the pleasures of joy, happiness and fulfillment that so many of us seek.

When your heart opens to yourself, your 7th chakra opens at the same time.  You can’t fully see, know or feel the Divine’s love for you until you begin loving yourself.  When you do, you become free to let go of pessimism and trust in the infinite possibilities for your dreams to come true. 

Your 6th chakra opens in tandem, allowing you to see yourself through the eyes of the Divine and where you are meant to serve in the world. It connects you to your soul’s vision and helps you align your life with your purpose.

When you can see yourself in this way- It’s easy to believe in yourself . . . and see yourself as perfectly imperfect and loveable beyond words. 

Together with your heart, these chakras create a powerful consciousness of certainty and faith, empowering you to move beyond doubt, fear, and pessimism and into rock solid belief in yourself and your ability to win, achieve and succeed. 

The Heart is the Gateway

The truth is, if your heart chakra isn’t open, your 6th and 7th chakras can’t fully open either. No matter how much you pray, affirm, or act, you’ll likely find yourself stuck in limitation, doubt, and pessimism.

I know this firsthand, because I lived it.

My Journey: Healing a Defended Heart

For much of my life, I had a closed and strongly defensive heart. 

I never let people see the real me

I never asked for help when I needed it 

I never admitted that I loved someone . . . especially when I really did. 

Layers of protective walls had built up after enduring deep wounds from severe mental, emotional and sexual childhood trauma.  But as an adult, my defended heart was impacting every relationship I had– with my husband, my children, my friends, playmates and co-workers. 

I felt alone in relationships, 

Not included, 

Insecure. 

What’s heartbreaking is that I didn’t even realize how guarded my heart was. I thought I was a giver—I cared deeply for people—but I was powerless to express it. My logical and “helpful” approach often came across as distant or uncaring. I wasn’t aware of the impact my actions had on others or how much I was holding back.

When I began to wake up, everything changed. I saw—really saw—how I had been unconsciously disconnecting and walling myself off from others. This awareness brought deep guilt and shame—which ignited my passion and motivation to open my heart and trust love with spiritual healing and transformation.

Because here’s the truth: spiritual healing can change everything.

Even a strongly defended heart, with the most deeply ingrained, negative beliefs, emotions, and behaviors can be released. The patterns that keep us stuck in pain, isolation, and self-protection can finally be healed. 

No one should have to live with a tightly guarded heart, disconnected from love, intimacy, and joy.

Spiral Up–From Struggle to Abundance

“I can’t keep going on” 

“I feel so dark, heavy and cynical”

 “What’s the point?”

My heart was so numb, I struggled to stay positive. 

 I was stuck in self sabotage and fighting my dreams with pessimism.  I was stuck in my business and unhappy with my relationships. I had been healing my traumas for years.  

I thought, “This shouldn’t be”,  and began to secretly hate myself.  

But I listened to the still, quiet voice inside me whispering, “Keep going, keep healing.”

So I did. I surrendered fears, pain and shame and kept doing the work to love and forgive myself anyway —-  layer by layer.

I found that every time I opened my heart- even if it was only a little, something extraordinary would happen—I started seeing more clearly and I became optimistic. 

Here’s what I mean: Each time I faced a fear in my heart and held it with my own unconditional love (and Divine assistance), I spiraled up into greater levels of certainty, trust, and compassion. 

Each time I confronted a fear in my mind, I gained deeper clarity about why my pain—and the pain others experienced—had to happen.  Compassion and forgiveness returned me to my heart, and the healing pattern continued to spiral up and light me with love and joy! 

Every time I opened my heart with forgiveness, new opportunities for happiness, abundance, and connection appeared. 

My 7th chakra (crown) opened so that at the 6th chakra (third eye), I could see myself and my purpose through the eyes of the divine.  

My open 7th chakra connected me with the knowing of positivity and trust in the infinite number of possible ways my dreams, goals and deepest desires were already fulfilled. 

Finally I was able to see and believe in myself AND my future successful self as happy, fulfilled and wildly abundant.  

The Lower Chakras Matter

Clearing your heart and the higher chakras open you to see and believe in yourself, but clearing your lower chakras is what activates the full expression of your authentic self and the power to take bold action toward your dreams.

Your lower chakras are the foundation of your personal power, AKA the passion, motivation and confidence to take action towards your dreams and goals.   When cleared, they help you stay in integrity with yourself—getting you to do what you say you want to do and stop doing what you know doesn’t serve you.

Clearing the lower chakras frees you from depressing, repressing, and rejecting your feelings and true nature. 

Clearing the path in your lower chakras opens you to  transform the life force energy of anger into self-empowerment, self-confidence, and upgraded self-worth. 

This powerful “shadow work” opens you to embrace and integrate the primal energy of your lower chakras, turning sensuality and desire into passion, charisma, and magnetism—if you let it.

This is the key to activating the vibrant, magnetic version of yourself that’s ready and able to live powerfully, purposely and abundantly.
