Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Can Anyone Learn Chakra Balancing?

By Idi Bejen

The seven chakras in a human body need to be opened and the energy flow balanced and aligned within itself as well as with the infinite energy source of the cosmos for the wholesome development of a human being.

A red lotus with four petals is the image of the base or root chakra of Muladhar. Located at the base of the spine, this chakra can be balanced by breathing in the red colour till the base of your spine and visualizing the red energy ball at that place. Constantly affirm yourself that you have safety and security in this world and your monetary matters are well taken care of. Everyday exercises that target the lower back region like those of squats or using gem stones like red garnet, smoky quartz, and black obsidian are helpful in balancing the energy of this chakra.

Learn chakra balancing for the Swadhisthana chakra by visualizing an orange lotus with six petals at the sacral region. Visualize energy flowing in a clockwise direction in the area above your belly button and mentally affirm the fact that things like creativity, emotions, sexuality are gifts which needs to be expressed. You can also perform everyday exercises like pelvic thrusts, circling or even gem stones like those of carnelian orange or calcite tiger's eye to balance this chakra.

Coming to the third chakra of Manipura, symbolized by a yellow lotus with ten petals, practice yoga which targets the area around the solar plexus. You can also use gems such as citrine topaz or golden calcite for balancing this energy. Visualize warm and bright sunshine yellow on top of the belly button moving to and fro in a clockwise direction and constantly affirm yourself that nobody or nothing else has power over you and you are the sole master of your own actions and boundaries.

Learn chakra balancing for the Heart chakra or the green lotus with 12 petals by breathing in the green colour to the center of your heart and visualizing the energy flow in a clockwise direction, back and forth. Regular little things like hugging yourself or activities like swimming, push up exercises will open and balance this chakra. One might also use gems such as rose quartz, kunzite, watermelon tourmaline and jade for the same purpose.

The Vishuddha Chakra of a blue lotus with 16 petals located at the base of one's throat requires one to breathe in the colour blue in his throat and visualize it moving in a clockwise direction. Activities like Singing or affirming yourself that you are able to communicate and express yourself clearly are important. Gems that can be used in this case are aquamarine, sodalite, etc.

Learn chakra balancing for the Ajna or the third eye chakra by advanced meditation concentrating on the indigo lotus with two petals between your eyebrows. Activities like remote viewing or lucid dreaming are possible by the opening up of this chakra and for that, constantly affirm yourself that your intuition is what guides you and not the ego. Use of gem stones like lapis, blue fluorite or clear quartz may also come to use in balancing this chakra.

The final chakra located at the crown of the head is the Sahasrara Chakra which is symbolized by a vivid violet lotus with a thousand petals reflecting the ultimate spiritual enlightenment of man. You can balance this chakra by advanced meditation and visualizing this symbol at the crown of your head. Prayer and devotion along with a feeling of gratitude towards the universe for everything that you've got and what you will be getting in the future will lead to the opening up of this chakra. Gems like amethyst, Oregon opal or clear quartz facilitate balancing of this energy.
