So I sat with it and sat with it. I meditated, and meditated and I asked for guidance. I paid attention to where the feeling was. My body was guiding me to my sacral chakra. Right here under my belly button. The sacral centre is the home of emotion and feelings and in my meditation one day as I sat and felt into this feeling in my sacral, and called upon the guidance of higher energy, I had a vision.

The vision was of a large, fat maggot, buried deep within my sacral centre. It was stuck on there and all I could see was it’s wriggling tail end sticking out. It was a sudden, flash of an image but it brought with it an awareness, a sudden flash of insight- this maggot was a stuck emotion that was trapped in my sacral, and it was in need of pulling out. It was a feeling of unworthiness.

Wow that was interesting! To cut a long story short, I then spent a few weeks really focussing on this ‘maggot’ of low self worth. With the help of the angelic energy that I connect with, with energy work and meditation, with lots of journaling and reflection, I discovered it was a trapped emotion held deep within the innermost layers of my sacral chakra, coming from childhood.

So what did I do? Well, two things really....

Firstly, as soon as I became mindful of the fact that I had this issue going on and I wanted to shift it, i became super aware of whenever I was thinking, feeling or behaving like someone with low self worth. And then, when I noticed that I was in that mode, I’d immediately shift my mindset.

So to give you an example, a magazine came home in the boys book bags from school and my first thought was “ah, I could advertise my mindfulness sessions in there”, swiftly followed by my second thought of “whatever Rachel, who the hell are you to be advertising in that magazine, your courses aren’t good enough for that!”....and then I noticed it and switched it.

In that moment I used a great little tool on myself...one that works like a dream on myself nowadays....I said to myself “ok Rachel, so you don’t feel worthy of this prestigious magazine right now, but if you did...what would you do?” ...."if you were confident and worthy and fully deserving of this advertising space, what would you do about that?” And the answer that leapt back at me was “I’d contact the magazine and get my advert in there asap!” And so then....I followed through on that voice. I didn’t have high self worth but I still took the action of someone who did have high self worth.

You know what, the more you take the action of that person with high self worth, the more you will learn by experience that it’s safe to have high self worth, that it’s really rewarding when you achieve that step you were nervous of taking, that the world doesn’t crumble underneath you when you dare to be brave and just do that thing, despite the fears. That sometimes, by pushing ourselves into discomfort, we find greater strength and deeper self worth. If we never do what confident and worthy people do, we’ll never feel confident or worthy, because by avoiding the action of worthiness we’re avoiding the outcome of worthiness. We’ll never know what it’s like to feel real worthiness and real confidence if we never put ourselves in the way of an opportunity to experience it! Right?! So I constantly started to ask myself whenever it arose, “if I were a person who had high self worth, what decision would I make now?’ That was number 1.

What did I do next?

Number 2 was....So, I know that to move an emotion out of the body, we can’t just intellectualise it, think it out. We have to energetically move it out of the body. Therefore, I worked on my sacral chakra and my 'maggot' with energy healing techniques.

You can do at home- it doesn’t take anything special to do this! You don’t need a qualification to work on your own energy. I mean, try it! There are so many methods but what about these ideas to get you started at home.... you could use but what about this one for starters....Activate your palm chakras, wake them up, and hold them over your sacral, and visualise orange light washing and moving through the chakra, clearing and cleansing the area, sucking the maggot or the low and heavy energy of old emotion out.

I would also use the yoni mudra. The Yoni mudra is one of the most popular yoga mudras that is super helpful to hold over the sacral to balance and release blockages on that area whilst chanting the sound of the sacral -Vam and listening to solfeggio frequency music at 417hz.

I would channel the consciousness of energy known as archangel Gabriel and Archeia hope to draw their qualities into my sacral chakra as they govern this chakra and help to rebalance it.

I would recite positive affirmational mantras into the sacral chakra to help release the maggot- things like ‘I am worthy and deserving’.

I would use crystals for the sacral whilst I meditated.

I’d have Crystals for the sacral tucked into my bra, and laid in my bed whilst I slept. I would do yoga poses specifically for the sacral and draw up fresh new life force energy into this area repeatedly. 

You might have other energetic ways to release emotion- you may practice self reiki, or eft or acupuncture or reflexology. And all of those are fine to help you move the actual energy out of your field.

So, actually working with the emotion in an energetic shifting sense creates the biggest changes in this area. Slowly the maggot began to release until I couldn’t sense it being there any longer.
