Meditation

Although there are an infinite amount of various meditation practices and purposes I will tell you that a person gets enormous benefit simply from sitting still and quiet for short period of time every day. A lot of people have trouble controlling the endless chatter in their minds. Simply sitting quietly makes one aware of just what thoughts are going through the mind. Just like fresh Juice cleans out the physical toxins in the body, meditation cleans out the mental toxins in the mind. The first step in redirecting thoughts is to know what thoughts are there. Often the most useless and uncomfortable thoughts are the ones that occur in loops. When the same patterns of ideas go through the mind again and again, an individual runs great rick of stagnation. It is your mind!! You choose the thoughts that go through it!!

Physical benefits that I touched upon in another blog are lengthening of the spine which reduces and eliminates chronic back pain and enlivens the nervous system.

Chakra Meditation

Chakras

I recently had a very good friend and student ask me about literature concerning the chakras. So I was inspired to post this with the hopes of educating you on a little bit of what I know about chakras as well as point you in the direction of more information on the subject. There are many systems and theories on this topic. I have seen some parrallels. So what I will do is give you an overview starting with the root chakra and tell you a little about each one. For the very beginner on this topic Chakras are energy centers along the body. Here are some lists of things associated with each chakra.

1) root Chakra - This energy point is said to lay at the base of the spine
The color red, element of earth, self, solid propensity, grounding

2) 2nd chakra - location - lower back/genitals
color orange, sexuality, creativity, element of water, family dynamic

3) solar plexus - abdomen / navel
color yellow, power, digestion, element of fire, connection to social groups of people

4) heart - sternum / upper back
color of green, compassion, element of air, connection to all mankind, circulation

5) throat - neck
color of blue, communication, sound and light,

6) third eye - forehead
indigo, mind, ether, consciousness

7) crown - very top of head
purple, god, universal consciousness, infinity

This is a little concerning the chakras. Of course there is much more detail one can go into. I will elaborate further in puture blogs.

May you all achieve splendid consciousness and healthy bodies
I love you all

Spinal Alignment

I cannot overemphasize the importance of a healthy spine. I spend a minimum of a half hour a day sitting still and working on subtle spinal alignment. This has proven to give me an extraordinarily strong spine and no back pain whatsoever. It has also provided me with an increase in circulation and overall sensory enhancement. when I align my my spine my sight, hearing, and smelling all grow exponentially. Remembering polarity, as in opposites, we know that plus and minus are both important. This, of course, is slightly metaphorical. Equal benefits to the spine are aquired on the inhale and the exhale. I encourage you to increase the amount of time you can do both. The inhale serves to lengthen the spine and the exhale serves to compress the spine. Again both are important. Big and small are equals in my book. Each serves their own purpose. So it is good to compress as well extend. Feel your spine lengthen when you breath in, and feel it compress as you breath out. It is very simple. The only difficulty is in actually doing it. It may seem so simple that one shouldn't bother. In our complex world why would something so simple be important? It goes back to polarity. Simple and complex are both useful in a well rounded reality. So try it. Spend time every day to breath deeper than ever before. Both lengthen and compress your spine and enjoy the wonderous benefits. You'll be surprised at how good it makes you feel.
