I've been reading chakras for over 40 years.
I like that you suggest using to dissolve cords and/or blocks.
In the grounding and running energies visualization I do for myself and clients. I begin with protection for myself (if working with another. I make a protective space for me and my client). I am lucky to see pictures of chakras as I work with them. The pictures are metaphors for what's right and what's wrong or blocked or compromised with a chakra.
Higher aspects of myself align with my guides assist me in clearing ancestral spirits and/or interdimensional parasites.
Thanks for this great introduction.
