Are there differences between to balance and activate an energy center?

[Jade]

Yes, there is a difference. Activation means accessing the energy center for the first time - as in, maybe someone was born with a closed heart chakra, and at some point in their incarnation, they "activate" it. From there on they can activate the blue and indigo rays. Or, Ra says second density beings have all centers in potentiation - so while they are born with only the orange ray activated, they can at any point in their incarnation activate the further rays, with efficient use of catalyst.

Balancing then, of course, happens after activation - I think basically that's the difference.

I think it's possible to have to "reactivate" a chakra at different points in an incarnation, too.
