Energetic Observations: This one is going into the hara center, spiraling the energy in. This is drawing the energy in through the hara, bringing in vital forces for the whole body. I feel it moving the energy along the CNS from the hara. It’s really heating up there. Now I feel it spreading out through the nerve channels. It’s working on the CNS, big time – through the hara center. It’s also working on the thymus. It’s very empowering to the immune system. It’s drawing the energy in, now it’s connecting all the chakras in, and circulating the energy right along the CNS. This one is very balancing to the CNS. It’s moving right along the etheric core – right through the center of the whole being. — Star Johnsen-Moser, Intuitive Energetic Healer.
