Working with the chakras clears away blockages. However, these blockages deserve utmost respect because they began as defensive patterns to protect your innermost self and then became unconscious and struck.

The most painful cause of anxiety is probably the belief that you are not enough. This belief, when deeply buried and unseen, often takes the form of painstaking efforts to improve who you are-- attempts that frequently result in inner exhaustion and discontentment.
