Governing attributes: meditative, intuition, physic abilities, intuition, self-knowledge, insight

The third eye chakra or Ajna as it is known in Sanskrit is a feminine chakra, it is connected to gaining knowledge, intuition and physic insight. It is where we form our beliefs about the world we live in, the command centre where you can develop new ideas and gather new knowledge. Scholars, scientists, researchers are perfect examples of people who use their perception to better understand as they are constantly educating themselves and gaining new knowledge so they can become open to new ideas which can often create a new insight and the ability to see the bigger picture as opposed to what many people will only view as their own reality.

We all are responsible for the choices we make and for what we choose to manifest into our lives, our thoughts become our reality about ourselves, others and the world around us, the vibration you choose to give out will attract others with the same vibration so if you wish to change your life for the better you need to raise your vibration by connecting within. This can at first be difficult as the further up the body the chakras go the more subtle the vibration. However through meditation and a slower pace of life it is possible to clear and still the mind leading to a greater sense of peace and harmony also within all aspects of the mind, body and spirit. This is when we start to dream and if we are able to contact fully with the third eye we may see symbols or images which will have a specific meaning or message for us.  

Balanced and healthy third eye chakra: healthy and balanced attitude, open to learning about new things and people, insightful and often drawn to read or study to gather new information.

Blocked and closed third eye chakra: .closed to new ideas and dismissive of anything that is not immediately understood, finds it difficult to concentrate, gets distracted easily blocks cognitive gifts due to lack of understanding.

 Overly open/active chakra: those with hectic life styles  and demanding jobs, working long hours , moving so quickly through life it makes it difficult to focus not only on ourselves but the world around us.

 How to re balance the third eye chakra: slow down and take time to breathe and fully focus on yourself and the world around you …breathe!  Meditate for at least 20 minutes every day to encourage a sense of peace and stillness.

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 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...
