Chakras + Balance = New You

Life has its challenges, especially in today’s current economic climate.  Stressed out?  Feeling Angry?  Many people attempt to treat their situation by drinking, smoking, taking pills or even simply taking a nap to forget about it. They just bury their heads in the sand and hope that the problem will simply disappear. In our lives we experience various problems, sometimes on a daily basis. What is even worse is the fact that we do nothing to fix these problems at the source.

Every mental, physical or emotional experience is connected in some way to a specific Chakra. Chakras are energy centres in the body. There are seven major Chakras located  along our spine from the base to the crown of the head. Each one has a special attribute that helps the body use energy most effectively and has a distinct purpose in the body. Where they are located, is indicative of the task each Chakra is responsible for. Without our Chakras our bodies would be empty shells and they must all work together in order to create balance in our lives. For example, if you are stressed the Chakra itself will become unbalanced and you will need to balance the Chakra related to stress in order to solve it. If you do not take care of your unbalanced Chakras, you will become physically ill over time.

Everyone has the ability to get in touch with their Chakras and balance them properly. The Chakras are very powerful elements in our bodies. Just by using the right methods, you can instantly get a jump start and be on your way to better health and feel more alive than you have ever felt in years. The best way to balance your Chakras is by meditating each day. Also by going for regular check ups and getting plenty of rest is important. Cleansing your soul in taking time out on a regular basis and doing something for your happiness will create a healthy new you.

Don’t be like most people today who discredit the Chakras. The only reason why they think that way is because they don’t understand them. You have the opportunity to take the step that many people never take and gain control over your life by simply learning how to use the power of your Chakras. Remember, when the Chakras are open, aligned and balanced you are at an absolute optimal level of health. But when one or more of your Chakras becomes closed, unbalanced or out of alignment you can suffer from great discomfort and even a wide variety of health problems.

Affirmations for each Chakra are very beneficial as well, as the thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences in being able to balance the Chakras. For each Chakra your mind, body and soul can obtain a clearer perception and acquire a new inner strength and guidance to be able to handle any issues that life throws at you.

Below you will find a brief explanation of the Seven Major Chakras. All are associated with different body parts, emotions and life areas. Each Chakra is represented by a colour of the rainbow - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (ROY G BIV) :-)).

Never Give Up - Follow Your Dream

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. And how many times have we dreamed of being famous, rich, successful, or happy with our relationships? Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the routine of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher. The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can’t do this. It’s too hard. It’s too impossible. No one can do this. However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Take for example Susan Boyle, a middle-aged, unemployed, single 47 year old with thick unkempt hair, bushy eyebrows with a remarkable voice who truly is an inspiration to us all. As she entered onto the stage of Britian’s Got Talent with members of the audience reacting with laughter and making faces because Susan did not have “The Look” and showed the people around the world a lesson to never judge a book by its cover.  Most people somehow think one must look like a barbie doll or a young Brittney Spears in order to be able to sing well. Many people have been brainwashed into thinking that a specific look or appearance is the only one that should ever be considered “beautiful”. A reminder to us all, that we never know when we might find that diamond in the rough. It could happen at anytime, if we are open, and see with our hearts rather than our eyes without pre-judging a book by it’s cover.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you perceive impossible. So dream on and don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become  more possible. No matter your age or appearance you are blessed to live your dream and to never give up.

Susan’s Dream - Video attached:-

Susan Boyle’s voice is SO amazing, heavenly and beautiful. She proves that we should “Never Judge a Book by it’s Cover“. She sang “I Dream a Dream” and she reminded us all that it is NEVER TOO LATE to fulfill a life-long dream.  She warmed our hearts & brought tears to our eyes and gave us a real feel-good moment. Susan Boyle you took our breath away and made the world take notice that if you have a DREAM, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Be Inspired Every Day

Inspiration is an amazing thing, I liken it to riding a bike, once you learn how to be inspired it never leaves you. It becomes your life.

When we have to face the daily grind it is difficult at times to find the inspiration to do anything else other than, the daily grind. When feeling moody or irritable and feeling tired with your hectic schedule, the pressure slowly catches up to you. You can transform your mood to be more optimistic and inspired by simply focusing on activities that occupy your mind with happy helpful ways. This allows you to be in the now and focus on something outside of your own concerns.

Inspiration comes when you least expect it.  Be assured if you are sitting in your car in traffic or doing the laundry a great idea or a profound aha moment will emerge. Another example, I have found when I am grocery shopping, walking down the isles an inspiration will jump out at me, like a “lightbulb moment”. Take note of these moments as they are a message for you. It is wonderful if you can find a way to create those moments each and every day.

Everyday inspirations are possible, when you know where and how to look for them:
 

• Animals, pets, if you have them, are an amazing source of inspiration. They do ridiculously funny things, they love you unconditionally and they have 100% faith in you. If you don’t have pets, watch a bird in the sky or the ducks on the pond. Animals have a lot to teach us. 

 

• Art is often created to inspire. Explore art you are drawn to and let it inspire you. 

 

• Affirmations and beautiful quotes are very inspiring. By affirming a quote for the day you can be inspired to change the way you approach your day. 

 

• Books are a great source of inspiration. Pick a book that makes you feel inspired as they offer beautiful insights of inspiration and also a quote from the book can often leave you changed for life… even if you’ve read it a hundred times.

 

• Children, whether they’re your own or you’re just watching them from afar, children have infinite wisdom. When they’re really young, they live their lives with complete honesty.

 

• Dancing frees our hearts and our minds. With or without music, a good happy dance in the middle of the day will put a smile on your face and inspiration in your heart.

 

• Friends are a source of inspiration because they let us into their hearts. We become close to people and are allowed the pleasure of sharing their hopes, dreams, fears, joys and challenges.

 

• Hobbies can be meditative and a source of contentment. Find a hobby you’re passionate about and let the inspiration flow.

 

• Internet is a wonderful source of inspiration as we are much more fortunate than our parents and our grandparents were, we have the Internet to gain access to inspirational community’s and support groups.

 

• Meditation is a great way in having quiet moments without conscious thought and the most significant way to find inspiration. Millions of people around the world use meditation as a means to resolve issues and find a new point of view.

 

• Music fills our souls and it inspires wonderful things. Take a moment each and every day to listen to a favorite song. Don’t just put the song on and go back to what you were doing, sit down and really listen to it. If there are words, and you know them, feel free to belt it out and sing along.

 

• Nature, whether it is the wind in the trees or the clouds in the sky, stop for a moment and just listen to nature. Experience it as you walk down the road. Experience it for a few moments each day sitting on your back porch. As they say wakeup and smell the roses.

 

• Religious text and phrases have much to teach us. Keeping meaningful quotes in your mind can be very inspiring.

 

• Movies, you tend to find lots of inspiration in the classics and comedys.

 

• People do amazing things every day. One person holding a door open for an elderly person or showing kindness to another can inspire you to do the same. If you see someone without a smile, give them your smile :-))

 

• Find gratitude, and express it. Every day list five things you’re grateful for and express your gratitude.

 

Inspiration is all around you and making it a part of your every day life is as easy as knowing where to look. Once you find it, make the most of it, appreciate it, and share it with others - BE AN INSPIRATION.
