Balancing my Crown Chakra

At last, I have come to the seventh and final chakra!


The seventh, or crown chakra, is located at the crown of the head and is associated with spirituality.  When this chakra is open and balanced, there is a sense of unity, and the realization that everything is connected at a very basic level.  Life has a deeper meaning.  There are no longer limitations of the body.  And, there is a level of selfless devotion to others, because you see them as a part of you, and not separate.

If the chakra is over-active you might be considered someone who is “out there”.  And, someone others might find difficulty relating to.  You might have a god-like complex, and consider yourself better than others around you.  If the chakra is under-active, you feel like you lack purpose.  You might feel unloved, are angry and/or bitter, and blame everything outside of yourself.  There are several physical, as well as psychological symptoms:

Physical Symptoms:
Light sensitivity
Headaches
Dementia
Autoimmune disorders
Neurological disorders

Psychological Symptoms:
Depression
Confusion
Loss of faith
Mentally disconnected
Dementia
Epilepsy
Schizophrenia

Throughout my journey to open and balance my chakras, I really haven’t done much other than meditation.  I have tried other methods, here or there.  But, for the most part, I like to lie down on the floor, put on some chakra meditation music, and either focus on my breath or a small spinning dot, specific to the color and location of the chakra I’m currently working on.  I will continue to use this same method, to balance my crown chakra. 

In the last couple of years, I have gotten more into my faith, and consider myself to be more spiritual than ever before.  But, I still have so much to learn.  My mind has really restricted itself for one reason or another, and so often, I feel trapped and useless.  I’ve often asked myself, “What is the purpose of my existence?”  As I’ve been slowly working through my issues, forming healthier internal self-talk, and looking for the truth in all situations, I find myself feeling freer than I ever had in my life. 

I took the chakra test for the first time in quite a while.  And, while I’m pleased that I’m improving, I’m still struggling in the same areas.  I really look forward to growing my mind, body, and spirit and finding a deeper level of peace and tranquility, as I continue to work on opening my chakras.

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Listen, yeah everybody wants change Don't nobody wanna change though Don't nobody wanna pray Till they got something to pray for Now everybody's gon' die But don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain

See the Value in Each Day's Journey

Sometimes the road seems so long and endless, that the idea we'll ever get to where we want to be seems like a battle that will never be won.  That all our efforts don't matter, and are for nothing.  But, the truth is, we need to find joy in the journey.  Stop focusing so much on what we don't have and that place that we haven't reached yet, and start being present in the moment and learning how everything we do affects us, and others.  Ask yourself, what is the impression I made today?  How have I affected others?  How does that make me feel?  How can I do better? Too often, I believe that we miss part of the message we're supposed to get out of our experiences, because we're so focused on the the end point. "The Pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us." - John Burroughs

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
