The Seven Chakras

An article from Jonathan Benjem which outlines the basics of chakras

Chakras are the foci within our bodies where the energy which makes up our life force is generated. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel; a good representation of the spherical energy field the word refers to.

There are six Chakras which are located along the spine and a seventh one above these, removed from the physical element of your body.

We think of these Chakras as being composed of energy; but it is very important to realize that the Chakras are closely related to and have influence over your physical body.

A healthy alignment of all of the seven Chakras will allow you to maintain your own health and happiness during your life. It is important to understand what each of the chakras is, and what it does for you.

Effective and Simple Strategies in Managing the Pressures in Life

Too much stress can really affect all the aspects in us. Physically, when we get too much worked up in the office, we can feel like we have been electrified by a mini stun gun. Almost all parts of the body feel so tired and painful. Emotionally, we become really preoccupied with things that we want to cry and we become easily irritated. Our mental capacities are affected too because when we don’t know how to manage stress, we have difficulty in making decisions.

These are just general and few of the things that can happen to us when we become exhausted. Stress is normally part of life. It is inevitable. The best thing that you can do is that you must know how to manage the pressure well. Stress management is important in order for you to handle and control situations. You must come up with different strategies that will help you resolve your exhaustion may it be at home, in the office or anywhere.

One very good strategy is to have a break and perform deep breathing exercises. This will give you ample time to think and relax. Through deep breathing exercises you can release the emotions that you feel inside. While doing this, tell yourself a million times that you can do it. When you have time, you can join yoga classes and other relaxing activities. Give yourself motivation and positive attitude so that you can do your work fine.

Aside from doing exercises, you organize your things in your working area. There are times when we become irritated immediately due to the pressure from deadlines. We become even more irritated when our table is very messy and we don’t know where to find what we are looking for. How can you manage yourself if you can’t manage your things? You must have certain boxes or containers for your files so that you can have access to them easily. Just like a TASER holster, it is widely used to keep the weapon in place just where you want it to be.

Moreover, you must reward yourself with a day off from work. You can choose from a wide variety of recreational activities that you can venture. If you want to play a sport then go for it. If you need to relax in massage centers or saunas then pamper yourself so that you will be energized. Watch a movie or hang out with family and friends. Give your body a break and let it loose for a little while. Do not hesitate to try new things

These are basic strategies which are very effective which you can use when you get all worked up and exhausted. Your body is not a super machine which can handle days of work. Even a machine needs some power to energize, how much more a human body which needs to rejuvenate the cells in order to work again. Give yourself a moment where you can relax and free your mind from an unorganized workplace.

Life’s journey is always about Self-Acceptance. What you see in others and judge as unacceptable is a mirror to something about you that you don’t want to see or accept.

Self-Acceptance is a process of recognizing these self-deficiencies and bringing them home to roost, that is, make them a part of your personal inventory and learn to accept each and every one of them for what they are, a little piece of you – like it or not.

Thought for Thursday

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Is your Genius at Work? 4 Key Questions to Ask Before Your Next Career Move

You have some special capacity to make a positive impact on the world in your own unique way. You may have an inkling of that. Or no clue at all.

No matter. Either way, this refreshingly different book from Dick Richards will help you put your finger on your special “energy” and help you direct it in meaningful ways.

Dick Richards (part shaman, part businessman) presents engaging ideas and well-defined processes for identifying your unique personal gift, which he calls your Genius. He also presents helpful ideas and processes for discovering your personal Purpose (your life’s mission) so that you can point the energy of your Genius toward fulfilling your Purpose.

If you like, you read about the connections between many time-honored and far-flung spiritual and philosophical traditions underlying these ideas (across the globe and through millennia). Richards has woven a nice tapestry of these disparate threads.

Seriously, you can ignore all the stuff about spiritual and philosophic traditions, and just work your way through the practical processes. Either way, you’re going to arrive at a deeper understanding of yourself and a clearer vision of your individual potential within the world.

The book pushes us to think outside the box when looking for our core genius.

The content is fantastic. The writing style is approachable and includes stories I can relate to and that illustrate the points very well. The layout if the book is outstanding – there are helpful illustrations and plenty of room for notes – an important consideration for a book like this. Above these tangible dimensions, the feeling I get when reading is book is positive. The author cares about his readers and it shows in every part of this book.

Many personal development books contain miserably pointless exercises, but this book is the exception to the rule. Its exercises are intelligent, well-designed, and insightful. There are no pointless quizzes that force you to rate yourself on some arbitrary scale. I also liked that all the exercises are put into a separate section of the book, so first you can read through all the content, and then you can work through the exercises.

Also noteworthy, Richards generously includes resources to assist other coaches and consultants to teach his methods. And he provides help for groups of people who want to collectively support each other as they make their way thru this highly personal work.

Tony Robbins Inspirational and Motivational Quotes

Intentional Silence: The Journey Inward

Many religious traditions entail the importance of being quiet and still in mind and spirit for transformative and fundamental sacred growth to occur.

Silence is core to all spiritual practices.

Silence means being tranquil so that we can pay attention to the Voice that seeks out our hearts and minds.

“Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emmerson

Thought for the Day

Its never too late to become what you might have been
George Eliot

Want to be a gold medalist?

Last night I was tuning into the Olympics–and I started
thinking ?about the incredible ability the athletes have
developed to keep? focused on their goals–and to
MEET them.
It’s pretty impressive, wouldn’t you agree?
Then I got to pondering why it is we “mere mortals” have
SO much trouble meeting our goals–especially when
they don’t usually involve hurtling at break neck
speeds? down a mountain side or defying gravity!

Really, I think it’s because we just get so overwhelmed
with trying to meet what may be our “Mt. Everest” goals,?we
just throw in the towel and give up.

Same thing happens with New Year’s resolutions.

But what if there were a brand new way to achieve your
goals,?no matter how impossible they may seem
at the moment?
[7 Secrets To Happiness]

Today is the day you can get your hands on Natalie
Ledwell’s? tremendous new program.

It’s been months and months in development, and was
really born out of the love Natalie has for helping
people achieve their goals.

But it also sprang from Natalie’s personal experience with
facing off two huge goals…the first being the successful launch
of Mind Movies to the world…the other had gotten the best
of ?her for ten long years…
Losing extra fat!
Maybe you have similar goals–and if so, you’ll love this.
[How To Meet ANY Goal Fast]

It’s not overwhelming or too much to do–just reasonable

steps that build on each other as you go.

Right now you can get your hands on Natalie Ledwell’s
new program–PLUS $1,200 in “extras” she is
giving away, PLUS ?gift access to her incredible
Mind Movies program as well.

She is literally piling on the bounty as her way of
thanking you? to give her new program a try.

If I were you, I’d take advantage of this while you can get
it ALL–because she’s also slashing 50% off the price of
her program–but only until their 2000 copies have gone.

But you really need to hurry up and get there because
I understand ?this is being sent out to hundreds of
thousands of subscribers, and? someone is bound
to be left behind.

Make sure it’s not YOU!
Grab onto this–have FUN with it–and get ready
to experience? greater joy and happiness while
you fulfill your biggest goals.

It’s ALL good!

Enjoy the journey.
Talk again soon,
Bronwyn
P.S. Natalie is personally going to work with you all? the
way through–she’s going to answer your questions ?on
the member’s only 7 Secrets To Happiness blog–plus
sending you encouragements each week through
the 7 steps.

That means she has to limit how many people can have
access to this the program AND the $1,200 worth of extra
gifts. Chances are the 2000 copies will sell out very fast.
