It affirms the strength of acting from the heart, with courage, care, and joy. This meditation gives you an opportunity to go within and cleanse the energy centers, also called chakras, that exist in the subtle layers of your being. The chakras represent physical, energetic, and mental centers of consciousness. Purifying these energy centers clears the way to heart centered action.

Sagittarius Season Light and Levity Meditation
