The Hidden Wonders Of Chakra Healing
Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by Jai Dahalli.
A Chakra Perspective
A chakra is an alignment point of the body and it can receive and relay the life force energy. The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit, it describes the continual spinning of a wheel or the aural energy sphere within the body of mankind. According to Hindu writings there are something like eighty thousand chakra points within our body. The most essential of chakra points are those that are found along the spinal column and up to the crown of the head and these are the seven chakra points.
The root or base chakra, the sex or navel chakra, the stomach or solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the brow or third eye chakra and the crown chakra are the seven major chakras of the body. These main chakra points of the body can receive and transmit energy to and from its universal surroundings including various elements and the individuals around it. They are able to influence the spiritual, mystical, emotional, intellectual, corporeal and psychological activities of an individual all by themselves.
Whether you chose to take on a point of view that comes from the Hindus mystical perception of the external and internal experience of an individual, the modern psychology of explanation of the consciousness and thought patterns or Chinese medicine, you will find a common thread within them all. This point is that the chakras are distinct when it comes to their explanations or definitions.
Whether or not we are awake the chakras are in constant motion. This constant activity will influence the structure, appearance, physical disorders, glandular processes as well as our thoughts and deeds. However, if there is a chakra malfunction in one or more points that can be brought on by various reasons an imbalance will develop which will make itself known in other areas of our being.
There is a particular endocrine gland that associates with each of the seven main chakras. If there is an imbalance of the chakras functioning it does influence the physical and emotional body processes. This will be exposed as a disorder of some sort in the regulated patterns of behavior and or activities that relate to that particular endocrine gland.
Maintaining the Balance of Chakra Using the above as our point of beginning, we can assume safely that the majority of our ailments and illnesses are related to our chakras. Even though there may not be enough materialization of imbalance or illness, there may yet be concerns or emotions that come from our childhood that influence us spiritually, emotionally and physically.
Generally speaking, the repressed or elapsed emotional balance that comes from experiences of past trauma is one of the main causes of imbalance of the chakras. The cellular level of the body is influenced by the emotional toxins that are habitually buried inside the subconscious of anyone. This is the reason that we should deal with our emotional baggage as this will aid us in maintaining a good balance of the chakras which in turn influence the healing process of our physical being.
Our Body deserves Chakra Healing. By making use of such techniques as color therapy, aromatherapy, Reiki healing and balancing the chakras while using crystals, gemstones or a pendulum we can influence our chakras directly.
The physical and breathing exercises that are performed in yoga is beneficial in maintaining the balance of the charkas of the body, many individuals enjoy attending yoga exercise classes.
There are other methods of chakra healing, they are meditation to keep the mind focused on a thought, awareness or object for a specific amount of time, a guided visualization which can be done while using CDs or audio tapes in order to encourage relaxation techniques and natural healing in order to reduce stress while promoting relaxation and harnessing mind power.
Although, we may not be able to see or touch our chakras, the do work continually to maintain the body.
The body needs nutrition in order for there to be balance of the chakras and the pleasure of good health. There are particular foods that aid in maintaining the balance of each of the seven chakras.
The root chakra is nourished with foods rich in protein, spices and root type vegetables. Nuts, vanilla, cinnamon, sweet fruits and seeds such as caraway and sesame nourishes the sacral chakra that of our sexual being and creativity. Breads, cereals, pasta, yogurt, dairy products and spicy mints nourish our stomach or solar plexus chakra which enhances our sense of self love and self confidence.
Green tea and green leafy vegetables nourish the heart chakra. Consuming a lot of water, fruit juices and tangy fruits such as peaches and apples nourish the throat chakra.
The enhancement of the sharpness of in our third eye sight and a deep sense of our psychical talents and gifts that associate with the brow or third eye chakra finds nourishment from the consumption of grape juice, wine, grapes and blueberries.
Our emotional and spiritual center the crown chakra requires a good detoxification. This is done by ritual inhalation of herbs and incense and fasting.
We can influence our health when we influence or stimulate our chakras. Doing so inspires us to be more responsive in our lives as we become completely in tune with our general surrounding as well as all the other elements of the physical and metaphysical environment we live in.

Stress is the curse of living in modern times. Everybody suffers from stress in some form or another. And the stress we suffer takes a heavy toll on our bodies, feelings and minds.
Feeling strung out, worn out by fatigue or just having a sad day, the neatest thing to do is chill-out, but what is the easiest method to relax?
Watching TV could be a kind of relaxation for some, but is not a popular system by professionals. When we watch television we are inundated with commercials, adverts, sounds and pictures.
So how can we achieve total relaxation?
If there are thousands of ways we can get stressed, one of them isn’t meeting cut off dates, there also are many ways we are able to relax.

Too much stress brings about high blood pressure that can lead to or cause a cardiac arrest. Relaxation takes on added significance in light of this matter.
Managing your fury and point of view is significant to heart health, and relaxation can help you manage stress.
One method of relaxation is transcendental meditation.

The researchers discovered that disciples of transcendental meditation significantly reduced the thickness of their arterial wall compared to folks who didn’t practice transcendental meditation.
Another study on another strategy of relaxation, acupuncture, seems to reduce high blood pressure by initiating many body functions for the brain to release chemical compounds known as endorphins. Endorphin helps to relax muscles, ease panic, ease pain, and reduce hysteria.

The Visualization Process and Your Body
Posted on 04. Oct, 2009 by Ellen Valentine.
In 1988 I heard Dr. Dennis Waitley say, If you go there in the mind, youll go there in the body every time. He followed that with a story about Olympic champions that visualized themselves pole vaulting or walking the balance bar perfectly before they ever walked out on the floor to compete. Their physical response indicated that they were actually physically performing. Pulses raced, sweat beaded, respiration increased as their bodies went along with their minds. Now how can this be helpful in creating physical results for us?
Think of it, powerful visualizations create real results in the body. So, if we see ourselves as less than, as overweight, having scrawny legs, no breasts, no waist line, unhealthy, etc; then, that is what we continue to create day after day. To create the new you, see yourself as what you want to feel and look like in the body, make it real, create a sentient rich picture that could make you cry for joy and appreciation. Be in the great new body NOW.
Jack Canfield is a mentor and friend. In his book, The Success Principles he recommends using the time before sleep and the time before getting out of bed in the morning as prime creation times. Go over goals, recreate things from your day that could have had a better outcome, put yourself in that new car or home or job or new business. Give yourself the body you’d love to have. If you’re a new mother, see all the baby weight gone and yourself in a new bikini the way you want to look. If you’re a body builder, see yourself rippled and in the greatest physical shape of your life. The Success Principles is a great book, a must have for deciding upon and creating the life you want to have.
Without gratitude things will not only stay the same, they will seem to get worse. Begin now to appreciate every tiny thing you can imagine about Being You. If the list seems small, make it up until it feels so sentient rich you are actually feeling better about yourself. This entire process of re-creation depends on the recognition of the power of the unconscious mind. If you were told repeatedly that you were too skinny or fat or any other message when you were small, your subconscious mind, that rudder of your ship, took it as a command. It accepts messages as real when we are small. If you believed those messages then, you can take your power back right now and reprogram for the life and the body you desire now.
Seeing ourselves in very different ways may be difficult at first. Imagine what it would FEEL like to be different, better in some way, better to you that is. Allow the feeling of the new you to wash over you. Let go of self-doubt, blame, shame or shoulds and just receive what your mind is conceiving. Implement new and healthy habits that will make concrete your decisions in the world of form. Detach from the outcome and begin now to enjoy the new you right now.
Create the body of your dreams and make it happen. Brain Science supports your right to create on every level; and Master Teachers all over the planet are proving it is so. Ellen Valentine, CNC

Power Visualization Can Create the Body of Your Dreams
Posted on 03. Oct, 2009 by Ellen Valentine.

He followed that with a story about Olympic champions that visualized themselves pole vaulting or walking the balance bar perfectly before they ever walked out on the floor to compete. When their pulse and respiration were monitored these increased the same as they would if they were actually performing physically. Their body went along with their mind. How can that help us create the body we want?
How we see ourselves in our minds eye is really how we think of ourselves. Sit still and take a few deep breaths. Imagine you, how you look; how you walk; how you speak; how you perform at a task you love to do. What does it look like that first time? Are you walking or dancing fluidly? Is your skin flawless? How symmetrical do you appear? If you saw something less than feels absolutely good to you, in other words, you flinched or felt a fist in your solar plexus or hated the process; then, you want to create a visualization of what you really want to see and make it real. So, the reality is that there isn’t anything wrong or bad about you but if you want to shift something you can.

If you’re a body builder, see yourself rippled and in the greatest physical shape of your life. The Success Principles is a great book, a must have for deciding upon and creating the life you want to have.
I want to share that even if you dont like the skin youre in, giving gratitude for what you have is really important. The reality is the more you push away how you look or feel, the more the feeling or unwanted situation will stare you in the face. Acknowledge all that is good about you; and please, dont say there isnt anything good. I know that isnt true at all. Think of every small and large accomplishment. Make a list and add to it every time something new pops in your head like, I have beautiful skin, my teeth are really straight, I am feeling healthy right now. Add everything you think of. Allow the list to grow and boost your self esteem.
Imagine what it would FEEL like to be different, better in some way, better to you that is. Allow the feeling of the new you to wash over you. Let go of self-doubt, blame, shame or shoulds and just receive what your mind is conceiving. Implement new and healthy habits that will make concrete your decisions in the world of form. Detach from the outcome and begin now to enjoy the new you. Decide what you want and create it now.

Posted on 03. Oct, 2009 by Brian Meier.
Relaxation techniques regularly can assist people dispose of the strain and strain in their lives that will account for sleep issues permitting them to get a good night’s rest.
Yoga is a popular strategy for relaxation and will also have similar effects like acupuncture. In another study, participants were subjected to several minutes of psychological stress. Then they were the subject of several relaxation techniques,eg listening to nature sounds or classical music.
Only those that did Yoga noticeably reduced the time it took for their blood pressures to go back to normal. Yoga is a form of progressive relaxation.
Respiring is one of the best strategies to relax. Breathing influences almost all aspects of us, it has effects on our mind, our moods and our body.
Simply concentrate on your breathing, after some time you can feel its effects straight away.
There are several respiring methodologies that can help you cope with stress.
Another simple way to attain relaxation is exercise. If you’re feeling irritated an easy half-hour of exercise will probably calm things down. Although exercise is a great way to lose weight, it does not show you the easy way to manage stress suitably. Exercise should also be used in conjunction with other exercise method.
One great way of relaxing is getting a therapeutic massage with natural aromatherapy essential oils, this is starting to become a favorite way to unwind.
To gain full relaxation, you must totally surrender to the senses and touch of a professional specialist as the warm essential oils are massaged into your body.
There are many kinds of massages that will give various levels of relaxation..allowing the warm oils to penetrate your skin delivering total relaxation.
Another method of relaxation is Biofeedback. The usual biofeedback-training program encompasses a 10-hour sessions that is often spaced 7 days apart.
Hypnosis is one controversial relaxation methodology. It is a good alternative for people who believe that they haven’t any idea what it feels like to be relaxed. It is also a good alternative for people with stress related health issues.
These relaxation techniques are only some of the strategies you can achieve relaxation. Another reason why we want to relax, except for lowering blood pressure in folks and decreasing the chances of a stroke or a coronary, is actually because stress produces hormones that suppress the immune system, relaxation gives the immune reaction time to recover and in doing so function more effectively.
Relaxation reduces the activities within the brains’ limbic system ; this is the emotional middle of our brain.
Furthermore, the brain has a periodic need for a more told activity on the right-hemisphere. Relaxation is one way of achieving this.
Relaxation can really be of good use once a relaxation system is constantly built into your lifestyle. Select a system that you believe you can do continually.
So, over to you, make a point to visiting your local beauty centre..and relax!

It Really Is Not Difficult To Become Clairvoyant
Posted on 02. Oct, 2009 by Madeleine Cole.
Do you think you have clairvoyant talents, or do you think you can develop them if you don’t think you have them right now? In fact, you can develop them, but first you need to understand what they are. What does it mean, in fact, to be clairvoyant? Clairvoyance is one of the most interesting paranormal skills to have, and it’s a lively topic of discussion, too. Talk shows often include guests were clairvoyant and who have often been able to look into the audience and diagnose illness, do some crime solving, or even tell an audience member how many children he or she will have in the future.
If one is said to be clairvoyant, most ‘experts’ think that this is simply a sense the rest of us have not developed or that we perhaps do not have. Clairvoyance gives those who access it a greater knowledge, a window into the future and the past both, and in some cases the ability to see and hear events before they’ve happened. In some cases, clairvoyants can also look into the past.
Clairvoyance as a skill works because if you are clairvoyant, you can connect with the universe at large on a sort of spiritual or energy level instead of on the linear level most of us do. Clairvoyants are in the habit of opening up their minds and their spirits, so that their world becomes both deeper and clearer. They can see things most of us can’t.
Would you like to become clairvoyant yourself? Some people can become clairvoyant once they’ve had a near death experience or a deep spiritual awakening of some sort. The rest of us will probably have to do this by practicing first — in other words, practice makes perfect.
To start you should take stock of your current level of paranormal powers. Why? Because everyone is born with some level of clairvoyance. In most children, their perceptions and ideas are stamped out and they are told to stop imagining things and grow up. Leading them to gradually learn to bury these feelings and thoughts to fit in with what their parents and society tell them is acceptable behavior.
To claim your clairvoyant powers as you once had them, you can use meditation to help you increase your self-awareness of these skills so that you can access these thoughts freely and without doubt. Meditation can also let you simply ‘wash away’ daily stresses and negative beliefs and thoughts, so that once they’re released, you can become clear about how to keep them away, and put up boundaries so that they don’t reenter your life.
When you meditate, you should focus on clarifying your thoughts and on allowing the universe to give you information about what may be able to happen next. As you work on these skills, don’t try to force anything. You’ll both hear and see things that you may or may not think are based in reality. It’s perfectly fine not to think they’re real, because the universe will know what information you’ll need and will allow it to come to you. Embrace it as much as you can and learn from it. As you start out in this type of skill development, you may hear voices speaking, you may see colors were textures, or you may feel emotions that simply seem to come out of nowhere. Or, you may have very brief vision of something that’s unfolding and not quite know where it’s going or even what it is.
As you learn to trust your clairvoyant instincts and you become more secure in what you see, feel, hear, etc. as you meditate, this information, these visions and sounds that come to you will become sharper, clearer, and give you a better understanding of what’s going on. You’re what, too, can be a great tool that can help you explore your spiritual connection to the universe, and you can also expand your knowledge of the symbols and signs often found in clairvoyant pursuits by reading books, articles and other information on clairvoyance.
Palm readings, tarot cards, and other methods like dream interpretation can help you derive meaning from what you see. As you practice more and more, you’ll be able to make sense of what you see and hear. As you continue your practices, too, you may meet other clairvoyants who can also help you develop your own clairvoyant talents to see how far you can take them, and they you.
When you become clairvoyant, one of the things you must do is to free up your negative energy by releasing other negatives from your life. If this is something you need to do, take a very close look at your home, family and work life, and adjust as necessary so the negatives go away. If anything in your life, in any area, causes you to feel negative energy of any kind, you can do a cleansing of your home or do other rituals that will release negative emotions and energy that simply stay in your life. This is something you can also do with work colleagues, relatives, or other people in your life that give you ‘vibes’ of negative energy, that give you chills, or that just make you feel out of sorts. To do this, you can practice what are called aura cleansings.
An aura cleansing does no harm to anyone it just purges a negative or stagnant energy. Keeping a crystal in your home and imaging yourself covered in white light when you sense a negative energy can help you refocus and purge these energies. Make sure to keep your chakra cleansed this will allow you to resist any negative energies that are an unavoidable part of your live.
In order to be clairvoyant, you have to believe that you have this power. If you have low self-esteem or you doubt your abilities, take heart; you can work on this low self-esteem and negativity in order to fully develop clairvoyant powers. However, you must be clear in order to trust them fully — and trust yourself, too. Practice daily affirmations and learn to listen to that small internal voice or other internal cues so that you develop trust in yourself.
Once you have developed these clairvoyant powers, you’ll see how much is available to you that was previously unknown. In some cases, famous clairvoyants can become celebrities themselves, and can become authors of books on the craft, doing celebrity readings, or making television appearances.

Astral Project Yourself To Another Dimension
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Paul White.
Everyone is born with the ability to perform astral projection. The only difference between people who do it often and the ones who do not is practice. The art of astral projection is ancient in the same way as yoga or meditation and deserves respect. It is known by many different names and types. There are also various ways to accomplish astral projection.
Lucid dreaming is a form of astral projection. Lucid dreaming refers to the state of being aware that you are dreaming. Once you are aware that you are dreaming you can do anything you want in the dream. It is very easy to astral project when you are lucid dreaming. As soon as you realize you are dreaming you need to consciously say to yourself ‘I am dreaming.’
If you keep doing this, you will become conditioned to being aware when you are dreaming. It may be hard for a beginner to astral project with this random practice.
You need to know that astral projection is real. You should also know that you have astral projected already, you simply were not aware that is what had happened. Have you ever woken up from a dream either in the middle of the night or in the morning and remembered a dream that you had the night before really well. As if you had lived it. That was an astral projection.
It is very important to have confidence that you can astral project. This will ensure you have a better chance of being successful at having an astral projection experience.
Learning to relax and meditation is another helpful tool when learning to astral project. Your mind and body needs to be prepared to achieve astral projection. Meditation is a great preparation for the experience. Find a meditation you like and practice it.
All you have to do is get relaxed in your favorite chair at a time when you will have no distractions. Clear your head of everything that is flowing through it. Do not focus on any problems you are having. Center your thoughts on your breathing, breath slow and deep. Picture your problems and stresses flowing out with each breath. This is very effective in achieving the deep state of relaxation needed to astral project.
You then have to be reach an altered state of consciousness. You can simply continue to work on your breathing, your focus now is not going to be to get rid of the stresses, it is to truly focus on the way you are breathing, your head is clear. The breaths that you are taking should be deep, coming in through the nose and going out of the mouth. As your breathing is slowing and deepening you need to focus on your relaxing on your body.
Focus on each part of the body, starting at the farthest points, your toes. You can do one of two things here. You can either tense and relax each part of your body as you move up the body or you can say as you exhale, My toes are relaxing, I am relaxing.
The best way to describe what you are going to feel is heavy it is going to feel as though all of the energy and tension is slipping away from each part of your body. You will know it when it happens. Once you have relaxed each part of your body it is time for you to move to the next step that is going to help you astral project.
By now your mind and body are ready for sleep, you need to stay alert. To do this many practitioners recommend that you come up with a line that you can repeat to yourself such as I fly, I fly, I fly, you decide what you are going to say as there isnt a right or wrong thing.
The mind tends to get bored when it is not doing anything, which can mean that it will drift and find something else to focus on. You dont want that to happen. If the mind wanders then you need to quit the session. To help bring the mind back repeat your phrase.
To reach the state of altered consciousness you can use the phrase you chose or another way. The body of light method involves picturing an area of light that you will change into. Picture the light in your mind and imagine yourself going into it and becoming a part of it.
When you begin to astral project three things will happen to let you know. You will have a feeling of movement. You will notice different colors and lights in front of you. Your eyes will be closed as you are still in your chair or bed. When you see the lights this is when you are passing into the astral zone. Voices will tell you to go on and encourage you or tell you to stop now as a warning. When you hear these voices, it means you have succeeded in astral projecting.
