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?

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning spherical which refers to the seven energy centers in our body that are circles of energy and the points where energy is received and transmitted. In simple words, one needs to open chakras and balance the energy flow so as to be physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually healthy.

Open chakras which are closed, blocked, or under active. The flow of energy from such a chakra needs to be opened up and balanced for the proper functioning of the physical and emotional aspects of that chakra. Hence, you should undertake a chakra test to identify the under active and blocked ones and thereafter open chakras through methods like meditation and other chakra exercises.

An individual needs to identify which chakras are blocked in order to open chakras. This can be easily understood by an individual from his physical and emotional feelings. Let's take an example. If you have problem regarding your digestive system, it is the chakra at the solar plexus which needs balancing. If somebody suffers from the fear of betrayal, his heart chakra needs to be mended.

A simple hand exercise can also be undertaken to identify the chakras that need balancing. Stretch out your dominant hand at you side and stand straight. Then with your other hand, touch the chakras one by one concentrating on each. Ask a friend to push your dominant hand down and repeat this two times for all the seven chakras. You will notice that this action will have a certain pattern with some being easy to push down while some not. Realize that you need to open the under active or closed chakras, for which your dominant hand was pushed down easily.

The closed or faulty chakras being identified, you can now open chakras by some simple techniques. One of them is meditation. The seven chakras of our body are represented by lotuses having specific number of petals and colors against them. All you have to do is meditate by visualizing the flower in the spot of the chakra while intensely concentrating and focusing on it to open up.

You can also open chakras by practicing chakra exercises. This includes a specific sitting posture along with a particular hand formation for each of the chakras. You need to sit down with a calm and clear mind and perform each of these 'mudras' coupling it with specific breathing instructions and saying aloud specific ancient and strong Sanskrit sounds. Thus, these chakra exercises along with the proper sound vibrations shall open chakras you desire.

Thirdly, one can also open chakras by positive thinking psychologically. Each chakra relates to some positives emotionally and some fears as the negatives. For example, emotionally your solar plexus chakra stands for personal power of which self esteem, self confidence, courage are the positives. Likewise, fear of rejection, criticism, etc are the negatives. Thus, if one consciously works on these fronts, then it will help balance the energy of this specific chakra and as a consequence your digestive process of the body to which this chakra is linked to physically will improve drastically.

Thus, we can conclude that first we need to analyze our body to see which chakras need to be opened and examined and thereafter we must work on opening them up through any of the techniques mentioned above, for the wholesome development of a person, in body, mind and spirit.
