the main thing is your intent and your focus, like the old saying, energy flows where your attention goes.

manny,

very good response, i especially like the quoted sentence. i did not wish to imply that balancing the energy centers was not important, for my within limited understanding of chakras exists the knowledge that an imbalance in your energy body can manifest emotionally, mentally, physically. how this works is still a mystery to me, and i too would like to learn more.

i guess my question here is, if you could, please explain how imbalances in the other chakras could affect the sense of loving oneself. in other words, john's statement "personally, i feel i am already decently centered and healthy in the heart area. however, i must admit i am lacking in the general (and large) realm of love and acceptance of myself. i've realized that out of self-respect and to heal that issue, i should work on balancing the other energy centers and such." seemed to me to be contradictory. again, let me throw in that caveat of limited knowledge about the chakra system and how it works together...

as you thoughtfully mentioned, "i think it's significant that you understand that you need to do this, it means you are in touch with your higher guidance, and you can get more insight from there than probably any of us can provide." understanding this need is one of the first major steps of the awakening process. in addition, all of us have access to guidance from not only our higher self, but also other higher beings as well - thanks for mentioning that.

john - i hope these responses help somewhat. you are correct - many can benefit from the answers you seek...
