Your energy body is like a musical instrument. When it is in tune, life feels resonant, clear, and effortless. But just like a guitar sitting in a humid room, the strings of your spirit can get out of tune simply by moving through the world.
Stress, old conversations, other people’s projections, and our own fears act like “dampeners” on these strings. They create what we call blockages or attachments—places where the energy stops flowing and starts stagnating.
In the Druid tradition, we don’t ignore these discordant notes. We listen for them, and we tune them back to their true pitch. We recognize that we are not separate from the world around us. We are part of a Great Web, and our “Light Body” is the loom upon which that web is woven. However, when we talk about ‘tuning’, it helps to have a map.
While the ancient Celts spoke of Three Cauldrons of energy, many modern practitioners find the Seven Chakra system to be a precise ‘fretboard’ for the soul. By combining the Ovate’s deep listening with the Chakra map, we can pinpoint exactly where our resonance has fallen flat.
This practice isn’t about ‘fixing’ yourself–it’s about returning to your natural state of sovereignty. Before you can clear a blockage, you must be able to fill it. This is where the Light Body scan comes in.

How to “Scan” Your Light Body
Before you begin the affirmations, you must first learn to listen to the energy.
- Find your stillness: Close your eyes and take three deep, grounding breaths. Imagine roots extending from your seat into the dark, rich soil of the earth.
- The Internal Spotlight: Move your attention slowly up from the base of your spine. As you reach center, pause. Don’t look for what you think should be there; look for what is there.
- The Inquiry: As you arrive at each location, as your body, is this bright or dim? Does it feel heavy or light? Is there a cord pulling me elsewhere?
- Observe the Discord: You might feel a physical tightness, a cold spot, or even a sudden memory or emotion. This isn’t a “fail”–it’s a signal.
- The Tuning: Once you identify a heaviness, use the affirmation provided below. Treat the words not just as a mantra, but a command to clear the debris and reset the string to its true note.
1. The Root (Muladhara)
- Location: Base of the spine / Feet.
- Governs: Safety, survival, home, money, and your right to be here.
- The Scan: Does your lower body feel cold or numb? Do you feel a constant hum of anxiety about the future? Are you hoarding or fearful of spending? This is a blockage of Fear.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“I am rooted in the earth. I am safe in this body. My needs are met by the abundance of the land. I release the fear of scarcity.”
2. The Sacral (Svadhisthana)
- Location: Below the navel / Hips.
- Governs: Creativity, sensuality, pleasure, and emotional flow.
- The Scan: Do your hips feel tight or rigid? Do you feel guilty when you rest or experience pleasure? Is your creativity dried up? This is often a blockage of Shame or Guilt.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“I flow like the river. I honor my own desires. I allow myself to create and to feel without judgment. I wash away the stagnation of shame.”
3. The Solar Plexus (Manipura)
- Location: The stomach / Gut.
- Governs: Willpower, confidence, boundaries, and action.
- The Scan: Do you feel “punched in the gut”? Do you feel powerless or unable to make a decision? Are you constantly seeking approval? This is a blockage of Helplessness.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“I stand in my own fire. I am the architect of my own life. I do not need permission to be powerful. I reclaim my will from those I gave it to.”
4. The Heart (Anahata)
- Location: Center of the chest.
- Governs: Love, compassion, grief, and forgiveness.
- The Scan: Does your chest feel heavy, like there is a stone sitting on it? are you holding a grudge? Are you guarding yourself against connection? This is a blockage of Grief or Defense.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“My heart is a sanctuary, not a fortress. I forgive myself for the past. I release the weight of old sorrows. I am free to love and be loved.”
5. The Throat (Vishuddha)
- Location: The throat / Neck.
- Governs: Truth, communication, and authenticity.
- The Scan: Do you have a lump in your throat? Do you find yourself swallowing your words? Do you say “yes” when you mean “no”? This is a blockage of Silence or Deceit.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“My voice is the sound of my truth. I speak with clarity and kindness. I release the silence that keeps me small. It is safe for me to be heard.”
6. The Third Eye (Ajna)
- Location: Between the brows.
- Governs: Intuition, vision, and insight.
- The Scan: Do you have frequent headaches? Is your mind foggy? Do you doubt your own gut feelings? This is a blockage of Illusion or Self-Doubt.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“I trust what I see. My inner vision is clear. I see through the fog of confusion. I trust the wisdom that lives within me.”
7. The Crown (Sahasrara)
- Location: Top of the head.
- Governs: Connection to the Divine, wisdom, and unity.
- The Scan: Do you feel isolated or alone in the universe? Do you feel cynical or disconnected from your purpose? This is a blockage of Separation.
- The Tuning Affirmation:“I am connected to the stars and the earth. I am a vessel of divine light. I am never alone. I remember who I am.”
The Closing: Zip Up & Seal
After you have moved through all seven centers, visualize a cloak of white or golden light wrapping around your shoulders.
Take a deep breath and say:
“My temple is cleared. My gates are secure. I am sovereign in my spirit.”
Go Deeper: Book a Personal Energy Tune-Up
While a self-scan is a powerful daily practice, sometimes the “strings” of our spirit require a more intensive adjustment. If you are feeling a persistent heaviness, struggling with a specific blockage, or feel ‘corded’ to a past situation that you just can’t shake, I can help.
I offer personalized 1:1 sessions where we can:
- Identify Deep Blockages: A guided, deep-dive scan to find what’s hiding in the shadows
- Targeted Clearing: Focused meditation and energy work on a specific center (like the Heart or Throat)
- Attachment Work: Identifying and gently releasing cords or “projections” from others
- Full System Cleanse: A complete ‘re-stringing’ to get your body resonant and clear
