Captured Moments

Looking again at the family imprint we were born into, once we can understand the family imprint and how we operated under it in terms of our behavior and our old identifications, we can release ourselves from its hold, domination and imposed structure on us!  As we begin to move forward into our ‘current day’ self, we will notice how our stuck chakras, or energy centers,  begin to shift and change as well!  Depending on how strong the family imprint was, we might feel as though any depression, repression, oppression or suppression we have experienced gets lifted!  It’s as if that heavy block has been unlocked and removed!   Our energy centers, the chakras, are located throughout our human systems!  In basic terms, the first one is below the pubic bone and is associated with the color red.  It is our grounding chakra, it connects us to earth!
