Each of the 7 Energy Centres (Chakras) can be approached using whichever Gateway suits you best. As you work through the Gateways, you may find that different ones appeal to you at different stages. For instance, the powerful practice of guiding your year with one word may appeal at the start of a new year (see our STRONG FOUNDATIONS FOR CHANGING TIMES course for more on this). As you read through this list take note of what appeals to you and also what you perceive as difficult.
Here at HQ-Holistic Intelligence, we find that it’s important to embrace what you find challenging. For example, if you are very comfortable thinking and dreaming but also worrying then your challenge will be to ground yourself consistently. You will find out more about this in our resources relating to 1st Chakra. If your challenges arise mainly with your sense of self-confidence, then perhaps you could develop more power by choosing the 3rd Chakra practice to take a monthly risk. Alternatively, if you have too much self-confidence and feel that you are bordering on arrogant perhaps you could look at the 3rd Chakra invitation to co-operate with others more and more.
As we develop our HQ-Holistic Intelligence, we will find different aspects of ourselves rising through our consciousness to be understood, explored, and healed. These Gateways provide you with lots of options to focus on as you move through your life.
