Heart Hook
Recently, I made amends with a fellow magical person and friend. On my way to see him I suddenly had a very distinct pain in my chest, which moved all the way up to my throat, and felt like a hook gripping the lower part of my throat and pulling downward. I call it the heart hook.
To say that the sensation scared me would be an understatement. But, as a spiritual writer and proponent of understanding spiritual energy, I focused on the pain and tried to understand what was happening. My head swirled with different worst-case-scenarios, but very often these types of pains are related to what is right in front of us. I was going to go see a friend, someone that I cared about, and hadn’t spoken with for months. Everything is connected, so how was this connected?
When I arrived, a different magical person and shaman was able to articulate for me exactly what I was experiencing. My heart chakra was pulling on my throat chakra. Essentially, the meeting was tugging at my heart. Rather than speak out in anger, through my throat chakra, I was being reminded to be compassionate, to speak only through my heart, and the reunion could be successful.
My estranged friend arrived, and it is funny how our fears are always larger than anything that actually happens in reality. As we interacted, and as I was able to only interact from a compassionate space, the energetic pains subsided. What was so powerful about the experience, for me, was how my energy body, my spiritual body, sent me such strong signals to stay aligned and birth the best future possible: a happy reunion.
This is the joy that understanding spiritual energy can bring. It is always there, we just have to turn to it, and recognize how much better our lives can be when we choose to be apart of our own spiritual energy, rather than just ignore it. Sometimes it isn’t as pronounced as specific pain in your chakra centers, but I believe it can manifest in thousands of ways, and we just need to turn toward energy, legitimize it, for it to improve the quality of our lives.
