sjel, thanks for the kind words!
I think it may help you a great deal to focus on the area of pain with compassion and curiosity, and get to know it, as I described in my first post in this thread. Treat it like an injured part of self and focus feelings of tender caring toward it. Spend a few minutes in that, and then simply speak to it. Ask it what's going on; notice what the feelings are that it's holding. Once it feels more relaxed, ask it to release whatever burdens it's carrying.
As you continue sending love its way, over the period of hours or days, it WILL eventually dissolve, and this is permanent. But cannot be forced.
I believe this is a more helpful approach that trying to open chakras. When the injured parts of self are healed -- and our behavior is consistent with STO, which avoids creating more injuries -- the chakras open by themselves.
Good luck to you, friend!
