Governing attributes: higher self, cosmic forces, divine consciousness

The crown chakra or Sahasrara as it is known in Sanskrit is the final main energy centre located at the top of the head and operates at the highest vibration. It is our connection to the spirit world where we can connect with our ancestors, angels and guides if we can learn to surrender and simply let go. In a world where there is so much control and everything relates to time there is no such concept spiritually. Our ego naturally likes to control the way we think and feel about things and often if we want something badly enough we will constantly focus and put all our energy into pursuing that goal. However divine consciousness works on a much more subtle level, it is positive to manifest and put our desires out into the universe but then to try to let go and just trust in the powers that by that you will be guided on the journey you are meant to take.

It can be difficult to give up the control but the universe does not work in a direct way and it may be that you will send out prayers for something you dearly are hoping to acquire but the answers you are looking for may come from numerous forms such as dreams, signs, numbers, symbols or even someone you are connected to in some way who will be able to relate back to you the answers you are looking for through some experience they would have had which they know is directly related to you.   These are all channels which are used by the higher self. The cosmic forces are constantly channelling energy if we are only open to seeing the messages they are trying to relay to us in some way.

Balanced and healthy crown chakra:  An openness to trusting in the higher self and believing that things will work out exactly the way they are meant too at the right time, trusting that there is a bigger power out there then we are initially aware of which has the capacity to bring us through prayer and manifestation everything we need at that particular time, be able to interpret signs or symbols or the meaning in random colours or animals.

Understanding that synchronicity s are happening for a reason and that if you watch for the signs then act upon them the next step will become evident on your journey.

Blocked and closed crown chakra: feeling closed and cut off from others and the world, feeling blocked no trust in the universe and not open to receiving messages or guidance. Working too hard, unable to slow down and focus.

Overly open/active chakra:  constantly focusing all energy into willing change to happen immediately, having physic readings constantly or always looking at tarot cards for guidance as opposed waiting and trusting for change to come, taking hallucinating drugs in the hope that certain things will be experienced.

How to re balance the crown chakra: Slow down …understand that some things are out of your control, send out your prayers and intention then sit back and wait for the answers to come do not force yourself to see or try to experience visions ,dreams or signs they will come when the time is ready. Avoid drinking fluoride through water as this blocks the pineal gland which is where the divine wisdom is able to communicate from and practice meditation daily for at least 20 minutes. Intermittent fasting can also be helpful.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
