 What do the colours of the upper chakras represent and how can they encourage wellbeing in the body?

Hi Everyone, In a previous video we discovered the significance of the colours relating to the lower chakras in the body, in this video we will look at the colours relating to the upper chakras and what they represent in regards to promoting wellbeing and healing. The fifth chakra is the throat or Vishuddha, and is located in the throat area, above the heart chakra. The colour associated with this chakra is light blue which is incredibly soothing and relaxing, it reminds us of sunny skies and calming water and is recommended for those who suffer from inflammation, high blood pressure, headaches, heart problems, burns. Epilepsy, teeth issues, menstrual discomfort and shock. It can however appear cold to some people so avoid blue if you are feeling depressed or unwell. The sixth chakra is the third eye or Ajna and is located between the eye brows above the throat chakra and the colour associated is indigo. This is a colour of concentration, leadership, planning and structure, and as it is the colour of the third eye, it encourages insight and tuning into your spiritual self, hence this is a popular colour amongst those who are seeking an inner focus and guidance. The seventh and final major chakra is the crown or Sahasara and is located just above the head and the third eye. There are often two colours associated with this chakra, purple and white. The colour purple represents royalty but it is mainly linked to spirituality and connecting with the higher self. Those wishing to form a deeper spiritual connection within may benefit from wearing purple as it helps to expand consciousness and awareness and is also beneficial for lowering blood pressure and helping to heal broken bones. It is best to avoid purple however if you are prone to anger as it can it increase the effects further and also cause fatigue. White is the colour of weddings, christenings and purity. It contains all of the other colours and therefore can amplify the effects. It is fresh and clean but also calming and helps with infections and fevers hence many hospital rooms are painted white. The disadvantages are it can cause you to feel inhibited and at times lethargic and of course it is not an easy colour to clean. The benefits of wearing and associating yourself and your surroundings with the right colours for you are vast and include making you look better but more importantly have a positive impact on the way you feel, helping to alleviate symptoms of illness and promote health and wellbeing in every aspect of our mind and body.

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...
