Chakras and Psychic First Aid

© Cheryl Adler

PART I: Chakras

• What are these things anyways?
  • We use a Hindu form of seven chakras in SC rather than Celtic 3 chakra system
    • Because it WORKS
  • Centers of energy that correlate to colours, parts of the body, and parts of life
    • ROYGBIV
    • Root (“the asshole chakra”); Sex; Solar Plexus; Heart; throat; pineal or third eye; and the crown
    • Respectively:  Basic feelings, sex, security, communications, third eye, divine connection/ HGA communications
  • Blockages, black holes, and crap
    • Energy centers can get clogged and get “gunk” in them.
    • Don’t be surprised of working energy jostles things loose
    • Don’t be surprised if while reading chakras you experience ‘blips’ or flashes of things (memories, emotions, etc.) that are jostled loose during the reading process
    • If you notice a chakra is clogged, very clean, or especially bright, pay attention to that.
    • EVERYBODY has unique chakras.
      • Person A may have a nice clear solar plexus chakra, while person B has a clear and healthy crown.
      • Person C may have a clogged root chakra, while person D has a dark  throat chakra.
        • Consider the implications of each clear chakra and each “clogged” chakra.
        • If a female past puberty has a “fuzzy” looking sex and/or root chakra, chances are she’s menstruating.  That’s not bad, it’s just what it is.

PART II: Psychic First Aid

·        This is used to get a person’s energy stable when they are in a state of psychic shock. This shock may include:

o       Any of the typical “mundane” shock  symptoms

o       Loss of consciousness

o       Extreme emotions (sobbing, anger, silence, etc.)

o       Hyper-charged and hypo-charged energy levels

o       Chakras blacking out or flickering

o       Unresponsiveness

·        General causes:

o       “stuck” in a trance state

o       Overreaction or stimulation from a ritual or magickal event

o       Playing with or running too much energy

o       A bad reaction to a specific energic event (esp. invocation, evocation)

·        Keep in mind

o       Each cause has its own challenges. An invocation would require you to devoke them as well as stabilize their energy, trance states may require you to throw water on their face, etc.

o       DO NOT ignore the physical shock, treat it FIRST!

o       Keep an eye on breathing, heart rate, etc. since these are often effected when the person is in psychic shock.

o       Know your victims baseline and background.

§         What were they doing

§          what do their chakras NORMALLY look like

o       If the victims partner (magickal or otherwise) is present and able &willing to help, utilize them!

·        Steps:

1.      Call their name, ask them if they are okay

2.      If there is a response, see if they are coherent and can tell you what happened (post-ritual first aid) or what went wrong (working first aid)

3.      If there is NO response and they are physically fine, prepare to take a look at the chakras

4.      Make sure that candles, sharp objects, and other dangerous things are out of flailing and rolling distance. Make sure your victim is in a safe spot.

5.      Read every single one of their chakras from root to crown

6.      Place a hand at their root and one hand at their crown (if they’re too call, place on hand at their root)

7.      Run a “thread” of energy from the crown to the root to stabilize the enrgy flow and make it easier for you to do the next step. I call step seven, the dental floss step since it is like you are running a piece of floss from the root to crown.

8.      IF THE CHAKRAS ARE DARK OR DANGEROUSLY LOW: Draw energy from the earth (you’d better already be grounded and centered) and SHOVE it  up your thread and into the victims root chakra

o       Keep pumping energy into the chakra until it fills with energy 

§         The energy may or may not burst into the next chakra; it may just flow.  This will depend on the victim and the situation. Don’t worry about it, just get them back “online”!

o       Keep doing this for all seven charkas. It may be easier to just think of pumping energy into the victim as fast as possible. The idea is to get their chakras filled with energy again.

9.      IF THE CHAKRAS ARE OVER FILLED OR OVER BRIGHT: Using the thread to keep an eye on the chakras, do NOT move any energy through it.

o       Lay the person on their back or stomach if they are not already that way.

o       Beginning with the root chakra and working your way up: Make a small connection with the victim’s individual chakra and the earth.

o       Using that connection, drain the chakra until it is at a healthy level. If you are not sure what a healthy level is, just lower the energy level; any small abnormalities can be fixed naturally through food and sleep.

o       Do this with all seven chakras, checking the thread to be sure that all other chakras are STABLE.

10.  Once the person has regained consciousness or has gotten to a coherent state of mind, get them to eat and drink.

o       Avoid sugary foods or drinks

o       Be sensitive about the food or drink you are supplying. For example, do NOT feed them a barley muffin if they were in an intense state of mourning for John Barley Corn. Do NOT feed them peanut butter and jelly if they are deathly allergic to peanuts.

o       Get the person a blanket to keep warm with; chances are that much like mundane shock, their body will be out-of-wack from the psychic shock.

o       Tell them to get sleep after they eat

o       If it is fires of Lughnasadh, see that the victim is safely to their tent before you leave them.

o       If your victim needs to drive  Home, offer or arrange for alternate transportation. Also request that they call to check in and let you know they arrived safely.

11.  Re-check their chakras after they have gotten some food to make sure that any weirdness hasn’t gotten more weird and that and fixes are staying fixed!

12.  Perform the rose exercise to separate your personal energy from theirs

o       Sit facing each other and hold hands

o       One of you choose red and the other choose white; make this choice clear to each other. You MUST have different choices. For simplicity’s sake we’ll pretend that the victim chose red and the healer chose white.

o       Both of you visualize a pink rose; this represents the connection you two have made during your work.

o       The victim should see the red slowly flowing away from the shared pink rose and into their own rose until they have a single red rose in their mind. The healer should see the white slowly flowing away from the shared pink rose and into their own rose until they have a since white rose in their mind.

§         This exercise serves to prevent an accidental psychic vampire effect. Do it EVERY TIME, no matter what.

·        Remember, your job is not to get them back to a normal head space but to provide emergency psychic first aid. Worry about it being nice and pretty later. That being said, don’t be stupid! If you need help or if the person is in physical shock treat that first and/or ask for help.

·        Remember that psychic first aid is for certain situations only. Much like physical fist aid, you should never give it without consent.
