The Number # 7 and the Chakras
I received a letter in the mail which I found to be quite interesting. So much so, that I wanted to share it with you.
This past July while I was working on my seminar, “Basic Knowledge and Understanding of Intuitive Reading”, a seminar designed to focus on Intuitive readings while introducing many topics in order to open your intuition and provoke individual thought and interpretation. The seminar primarily covers hands on, interactive basic understanding of the Tarot Cards, incorporating colors, chakras, and symbolism with additional subjects being introduced and discussed such as, how ordinary playing cards, crystals, meditation, incense, oils, herbs, flowers, aromatherapy, candles, auras, spirits and other methods of opening your senses interact to enhance tarot card readings. The letter I received in the mail while working on my seminar happened to be a spiritual letter from a ministry. It referred to how many times God uses the number “Seven” in the Bible. How there are “Seven Miracles”, “The Seven Spirits of God” and “The Seven Senses of man.”
You must realize, I was finishing the last section of my seminar which happened to be about “chakras”. To be specific, I was writing ” how there are over 200 chakras, but there are “7” that we always refer to and work with.” I thought to myself, what timing to receive such a letter about the number “7”, and how it connected to the topics I am discussing within my lecture. Not only that, when I finally I agreed to enlighten others with a different approach with my seminar, it was in July. I received the letter on July the 7th. I finished in the time frame I agreed upon, also in July. As mentioned before, I found this to be interesting and thought you might too.
There are “Seven Chakras”, “Seven Miracles”, “The Seven Spirits of God” and “The Seven Senses of man.”
