Interesting to hear your thoughts on this one. What do you need – the conditions – the place – the feeling – the people – to be happy?

For me it’s definitely something that is internal – you need nothing. I’ve found that the search for things to make one happy is a limited form of happiness and is often short lived. Going internal is something more challenging but rewarding and overtime the need to ‘seek’ for this unattainable or false happiness is slowly washed away. Rather than going out there – you can go in there – into your heart and see what answers come to you.

Then decision time comes….oooohhhh. This is the time to invite your intuition into your decision making process. A reliance to think things through can often lead to anxiety and stress and ultimately lead you to taking a course of action that you know deep inside plain and simply does not serve you. So the path you are taking is to make a decision that you do not want to take. Sounds funny – we often wouldn’t admit to making a decision we didn’t want to make in the first place.

First step today – make a conscious decision. In a moment throughout your day or evening – make a decision in the moment, using your intuition as your guide. See where it leads. If you choose to continue down that path you can make another conscious decision and another and another…

All of which are made possible by choosing in a moment – something that speaks to you. Something that may even lead to smiles that last.

I can see you all smiling now…

Share your smiles…

Is a voyeuristic short film about our hidden fears and desires.
A man who can no longer look at himself in his mirror anymore, decides to give it away. We follow him through the streets of an inner city suburb as he carries his mirror and along the way we cross paths with everyday people. When they look at their reflections, they are faced with their own truth, whatever that may be.

The idea of an original song came about in a passing comment by Nick after I had offered the use of ‘The Light in Me’ if they needed any music. So I went away and worked on capturing the journey of ‘The MIrror Man’ (my role) to provide a glimpse of what that character may be experiencing.

It was a pleasure to meet and connect with such talented actors and filmmakers. This was also my second opportunity to collaborate once again with David Christopher – who performs the song in a way that allows you to feel every note and journey along each step that The Mirror Man takes – a true gift. I hope you are enjoying the posts and of course the lyrics…

The Mirror

Staring at these walls
Now I’m locked away
Hope that you’re the one
Whose holding my last kiss

Nameless faces
Different races

Lightless room above
Where I named myself
Turning from the truth
A pain that’s all my own

Nameless faces
Different races

Hide your deepest fears
Cry your misplaced tears
Wish I could sleep now
And turn back the time
Back when I was me
You were only you

Nameless faces
Different races

Hide your deepest fears
Cry your misplaced tears
Smile returning
I will yearn no more

Share your truth…

For me the song is about never having to say goodbye if you can truly acknowledge and see the best in someone dear to your heart. It’s also a song about trusting yourself and really can serve as a tribute to the people who brighten up our lives and help us see the light in ourselves…

Share it with someone you want to reach today…enjoy,

Share your truth

Seeing your reflection everywhere

Your heart prints on every line of my face

Wake up feeling there’s been some mistake

You were here…we were one

I try to see the way inside of me

But the darkness is telling lies to my face

Hold on to the feeling of first sight

My eyes closed

I see you in my heart

I’ve always known that I must let you go

But your love kept me near

I try to see the way inside of me

But the darkness is telling lies to my face

There were times when life was nothing but disgrace

But it was you who saw the light in me

Seeing your reflection everywhere

Your likeness on every line of my face

Wake up feeling there’s been some mistake

You were here…now you’re gone

I try to see the way inside of me

But the truth is telling lies to my face

There were times when life was nothing but disgrace

But it was you who saw the light in me

Yes it was you who saw the light in me

And it was you who saw the light in me

Only you could see the light in me

The Human Energy Field or ‘Aura’

The aura is an energy field that surrounds living things. It is our life force. It can also been called the human energy field. Shaped like an egg or oval of light that surrounds the whole body, it can look like a heat haze shimmering with light and energy. It has every colour imaginable including those that are beyond the visible spectrum.

You may have seen the aura already, as a light around a person’s head or you may have felt the aura by sensing someone’s mood. You can think of it as an atmosphere around the human body- just as the planet earth has an atmosphere. The aura is generally recognised as having seven layers. Most psychics only see the first three- those closest to the physical body. The outer auric layers are concerned with the soul and spirit whereas the inner auric layers relate to mind, emotions and health.

The Chakras

‘Chakra’ is a Sanskrit (Ancient Indian language) word which means vortex or wheel. Chakras are energy centers in the energy field which regulate the flow of energy (or “ki” in Japanese and “chi” in Chinese) throughout our body. Chakras are aspects of our consciousness & contain the emotional patterns of this life & past lives.

Chakras were a part of daily life for the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Hindus, Greeks, Romans & aboriginals of many lands. As these ancient civilizations were conquered, vast libraries of knowledge were destroyed & only a few remnants of their information on the chakra system have survived.

There are seven main chakras aligned along the spinal column. Chakras exist on an energetic level similar to our aura. They are more dense than the aura but not as dense as the physical body. The chakra system is connected to the body via the endocrine and nervous system, with each major chakra associated with one of the seven endocrine glands and a group of nerves known as a plexus.

How well each chakra functions depends on a persons emotional state of being. Every emotional response or reaction to a situation is recorded by the chakras. Chakras reflect the way we view and experience the world around us. They store emotional hurt, pain & thoughts that can limit or expand the soul’s experience of life.

Limiting thoughts & emotions create tension in the chakra which transmits into the nerve plexus and gland associated with that chakra. Repeated tension can eventually result in physical symptoms in the area governed by the chakra.

By making a connection between the symptom & the associated chakra, we can gain insight into the thought or emotional energy that created the symptom. When the individual responds and acts on the message the symptom is sending, release of the symptom occurs.

It’s my wish to share that this time is now and you can create that window in this moment.

How?

Ask yourself this question:

How do I view the world?

Is it through eyes that see limitation and fear. Are you scared of new experiences? Scared of the outside world?

Is it through eyes of no limits, eyes of love, eyes of beauty, eyes of freedom?

Take your pick.

You can leap through this window by asking yourself – how you currently see the world and how you wish to see the world…

Then don’t forget to leap through the window of opportunity that ‘you’ have created…

Share your truth…

The Jolene Theory will be launching ‘The Standing Room Diaries’, November 22 at the Green Poppy in Shellharbour, NSW, 7-10pm.

The band’s first studio album will feature ‘Arizona’ a track that I co-wrote with David Christopher. I had written the song while traveling in Arizona and the idea came to me courtesy of a heavy guitar riff that just wouldn’t leave my head.

I wrote the chorus and from there all fell into place. Dave and I went for a walk down to Shelly Beach in Manly for a coffee and he was telling me how he and the other member of the band Adrian ‘Red’ Herbert (who I used to play cricket against back in those times!) were heading into the studio to record an album and I mentioned the lyrics to Dave and we recorded a few ideas on his iPod when we arrived home and from all reports the song may well be the album opener.

I’ll share some of my lyrics later this week and if anyone is interested in the way I approach my songwriting I will be more than happy to share…I’ll be using different types of media to post so things will develop over time.

Comments and messages help, so remember that sharing for me is all about an ongoing cycle – we put something out there that is special to us – another chooses to do the same and so that cycle never ends…the only outcome possible is a beautiful fulfilled life full of love and happiness. It’s possible.

Bye for now…

There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it. ~Elizabeth A. Behnke

Health is a large word.  It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;… and not today’s pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man.  ~James H. West

Today we’re going to explore two useful methods for sensing energy in people.  Once again, these methods will build on the skills you are already developing in working with your hands.

Materials Required:

• You, and your activated hand chakras
• A willing human volunteer
• A place where you can work, undisturbed, for five to ten minutes.

*Note – if you cannot find a willing human volunteer, this method also works on animals, so recruit a helpful cat, dog, hamster, horse etc…

Method One – Sensing General Energies

This process is very similar to the one for sensing energy in places.  You may like to review that information first here.

The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have.  ~John Locke, 16 May 1699

1. Begin with a quiet prayer, or the setting of your intent, that everything you do be for the Highest Good of All.
2. Have your willing volunteer stand, sit, or lie – whatever is most comfortable for both of you.  (I prefer people to lie down – on a massage table, bed, couch, or even the floor – so that they can relax completely as I work.)  If you choose to have people sit, make sure that you can move around them.
3. Activate your hand chakras (Review that process here)
4. Place your hands over the person’s heart and take a moment to tune it.  You don’t need to touch the person – just hold your hands about ten centimetres (3 inches) above the heart itself.
5. As you tune in, relax, and open your mind to any colours, words, images, emotions or sensations that come to you from this person.
6. Then slowly move your hands over the person’s body, without actually touching them.  What do you feel?  Look for places that feel hotter or colder.  Look for places that feel heavier or lighter.  Look for places that don’t feel ‘right’ in some way. Open your mind to any further information about what you are sensing with your hands.
7. Go back to the places that stood out for you energetically.  Summon golden or white light through your hand chakras and transmit that energy into those places on your friend or pet.  Just direct that beautiful energy from your hands and keep giving that energy until the place on the body begins to feel more balanced and positively changed.  *Note – it is quite normal for people to remark that your hands feel hot as you are working with them or giving them energetic healing.
8. It’s okay to ask for feedback or to ask questions about what you are sensing as you go – this is a useful practice as it helps build your knowledge and confidence.

Method Two – Working with The Chakras

There is a little useful general information on Chakras here as well as a nice healing exercise.  Chakras are energetic centres within the body.  They are quite strong and easy for beginners to feel.

Chakras are a wonderful place for sending healing to the body.

Image from http://www.treereiki.com

Begin with a quiet prayer, or the setting of your intent, that everything you do be for the Highest Good of All.

Using one of the following Chakra charts to guide you, feel for each Chakra, starting with the Crown Chakra at the top of the head, and ending with the Base Chakra.  Keep your hands about ten to fifteen centimetres (3 to 5 inches) above the body.

Feel for the amount of energy that is present in each Chakra, paying attention to any that are very strong, or very weak.  If any feel very weak, or cold, add some energy to them by directing that beautiful golden or white light from your hands into the Chakra itself to help them come back into balance.

When you are done, just bring your hands back together for a moment and give thanks.

Image from http://www.mysticalhouseofk.blogspot.com

If you are working with animals it is fine to rest your hands directly on the animal’s skin.  Most animals enjoy the connection and the energy they feel.

Animal Chakras will generally follow the same basic patterns as this chart for dogs, so you can use this as a guide for horses, cows, llamas, guinea pigs etc.

Drinking in Colour – How to Do a Healing Walk

And don’t forget that today is your last day for being in the running to win a crystal, chosen just for you – details here.

It is about sharing a truth to simplify an answer someone is seeking.

A few years ago while living in Victoria, BC, Canada I was able to change my perception about what it was to author a book.

To me, writing a book was a long arduous journey of creative struggle. It was late afternoon in early autumn of 2010, I was running over to a friend’s place when I realised that the most powerful books I had ever read were small books.

Limited words, maximum impact.

Words that people can dance with in any way they choose. So I decided to challenge myself in writing a book in a week. I made a decision to trust that this would happen. Not through planning but intuitively. The words arrived one Wednesday afternoon at my favourite coffee shop. Turn Your Moments Around was born.

Later that same year I was inspired to write a song. Having not yet learned how to play any music I wanted to capture a series of feelings lyrically and just put it out there and see what came. The Light in Me was recorded in early 2011 and has since been released. While many more followed, ‘The Mirror’, ‘Be Here With Me Now’, have been recorded by creative genius and Soloist David Christopher, with ‘Arizona’ recently recorded by The Jolene Theory and to be released on November 22.

Notably ‘The Light in Me’ appears on the Soundtrack of Canadian Independent feature film Love Karma and VHS, while ‘The Mirror’ was recorded for the short film of the same name.

Early this year I was introduced to Catherina O’Gorman – Founder of Think Love - who my lovely lady Tania is currently studying with. This collaboration was extremely inspiring to me as it involved intuitively piecing together Catherina’s life’s work as a Life Coach. This writing will help create the Quest For Greatness Manual that is currently being compiled in the U.S.

I have a few other pieces of writing in the works that I will keep you updated on in the writing section of this site.

Sharing words with you is a gift that always returns and always renews. So here’s to becoming enriched in truth.

I leave sharing an image with a quote from Turn Your Moments Around…so on that note…

Share your truth…

To sell a property, first find out the reason why it is not being sold, if it is not getting the required price.

You have to chant the switch words, “RELEASE RESISTANCE FIND DIVINE Rupees Fifty Lakhs GIVE HOUSE”.  You can also chant this by rotating the Basic Chakra, at an optimal speed and clock wise (just make an intention to do so).

 If one person is creating problem in the family for signing the property document chant “RELEASE RESISTANCE (name of the person) Sign” and then stop cursing him and instead thank him.

Forgive Love Thank Together Be Divine

Hara Chakra is situated 1.5 inches below navel. We form relationships because of this chakra. So it is also called a Relationship Chakra. When relationships are not good, then energy level is low in this chakra.

Our friendships will get bad and people will remain single, if this chakra is imbalanced. If you want better relationships then you have to improve the energy level of this chakra.

Once a month you will feel ok. Next ten days you will not feel ok. This means this chakra is not working properly. If there are friends around and connection(s) to people happens, all because of this chakra. If you want better relationships, then take care of this chakra.

Our talents are exposed to the world

It’s also called the Talent Chakra. Suppose my talent is not utilized properly, then it means energy is low in this chakra. We keep saying, “I haven’t got a good job, worthy enough to my capacity”. This thought will reduce the energy in the Hara Chakra and will affect our job as well.

Our desires are fulfilled

It is physically connected to urino- genital organs. Therefore, it is called Sex Chakra. Mentally it is connected with our desires. Our talents and capacities are here. When that chakra is working properly your desires are fulfilled. So it is also called a Desire Chakra.

Ready to get married

When you feel safe and secure thanks to Basic Chakra, you will get married. Your parents would think our boy has a good job, so let us get him married.

All our problems in general are mental problems. They are present because of our issues with our relationships. Thanks to this chakra, we form relationships and if our relationships are not good enough then we lose energy out of this chakra. On the other hand, if we have good relationships then we will have enough energy in this chakra.

We fight in the office. We come home and fight there too. When we fight both at home and office, how can we have enough energy? When we worry so much, then we do not beget a child too.

De-addiction

Addiction or craving for sweets means this chakra is imbalanced. Many will have craving thanks to imbalance in this chakra. Extreme desires will lead to addictions and in turn depletion of Hara Chakra. Therefore, addiction can’t be removed so easily and too much desire has to be reduced.

Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. ~ Gary Zukav

Throughout history there are references to hands-on healing, and the laying on of the hands. But what exactly does that mean?

We are all energetic beings, and we are all capable of feeling energy, and giving energy to ourselves or others.  Today I’m going to show you how to activate your own hand chakras, so that you can begin to feel energy in the world around you, and so that you can also begin to explore the concept of hands-on healing.

It’s a very simple process, but don’t be disappointed by the simplicity. Simple techniques are often the most powerful, and if all of us are energetic beings by nature, why shouldn’t this be simple?

Step One:

Take a few relaxing breaths, and centre yourself.  Stand or sit with a straight spine.

Hold your hands out in front of you and shake them as if you’re flicking water off them. Then put the palms of your hands together and rub them vigorously.

Rub hands together, moving them quickly backwards and forwards 

Repeat this three times.

Step Two:

Now gently separate your hands by about an inch or two. You should feel an energy like warmth, or a golden ball of light, between the palms of your hands.

Step Three:

Play with this energy.  Stretch your hands apart a little more and see if you can still feel that energy between your palms. Experiment with drawing your hands apart and bringing them back close together, as if you had something sticky or elastic between your hands. See if you can increase and decrease the size of the golden ball of light between your hands.

If you lose the sensation, repeat Step One, and then try again.

Don’t worry if it takes a little while to fully open the chakras in your hands, or if you lose the sensation of that energy between them fairly quickly.  It takes practice to strengthen your awareness of this energy.

This week, keep playing with this simple technique.  As you get better at feeling the energy, practice activating your hand chakras, and then holding your hands over your own body, directing that beautiful energy back into you.

Place your hands gently on or just above your body and allow that healing energy to flow from your hands into you

Can you feel heat or any form of energetic sensation as you do this? This is the beginning of being able to direct healing energy.

Next week we’ll begin to explore how we can use our hands to sense energy in objects.  Until then, keep practicing!

“Do you know which of your chakras are out of balance? Becca Chopra’s new book starts with a very easy-to-understand explanation of the chakra energy centers in our bodies and how each one affects us differently – physically and emotionally. Then, she shares the “secret” healing technique described in her book, Chakra Secrets, and details how to use “Dynamind” to balance each of the seven chakras, removing any pain or dis-ease associated with each one…. As busy as I am, I know I can fit in a Toner for one of my chakras in just a few minutes each morning… setting myself up for a much better day ahead.” ~ Amazon reviewer

Thank you to these two reviewers who recognized the healing power offered by the Dynamind Process which I share in this book. I learned this technique from Serge Kahili King, Ph.D., a kupua healer and founder of Aloha International, during a Hawaii Health Getaway. With his help, I’ve applied the process to Chakra Healing.

Whether you experience pain, illness or stress, or just want to enhance your energy, you’ll want to learn and practice this simple, yet profound, technique.

According to the ancient Hawaiian Huna philosophy, stress plays a part in all illness. More and more, modern medical research links stress and illness to a wide range of maladies from high blood pressure and heart disease to chronic pain and obesity.

Of course, modern everyday life carries with it a grab bag of stress, but we just don’t want it to be chronic and as familiar as our favorite shoes. Personally, I use a variety of ways, including yoga and meditation, on a daily basis to relax my body and mind. But when I feel pain or illness or uncomfortable emotions such as fear or anger, I immediately use the “instant healing” Dynamind technique to release tension, restore my body’s innate self-healing abilities and allow my chakra energy to once again whirl strongly.

Just like regular exercise can keep one’s body and mind toned, using Dynamind Toners every day can keep your chakras and your body in balance. I’ve even produced a Balance & Tone Your Chakras DVD where you can follow along with me and strengthen your chakras so that your life can be the best it can be.

Anyone who purchases my books which explain the Dynamind process, Balance Your Chakras, Balance Your Life or Chakra Secrets can get a free link to the streaming video, now through the end of October, when the DVD will be available for sale.

Namaste!

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars. 
~ Les Brown

On Sunday, September 30, we will enjoy another glorious Full Moon. Full Moons always have an energy that works with supporting us to ‘release’ things, and as 2012 is a big year for releasing, it’s the perfect time to work on shifting and clearing old patterns, unwanted thoughts and behaviours, and limiting beliefs.  In their place we then set the intention for replacing these energies with things better suited to our positive future growth and abundance.

I’ve blogged about this previously, and there is a very comprehensive set of instructions about conducting your own Full Moon Ritual here:

Full Moon Becoming Ceremony

Every Full Moon also has its own unique energies and flavour.  Last month we were gifted the opportunity to clear ancestral and family beliefs and patternings.  September 2012′s Full Moon gifts us the opportunity to embrace more of our intuitive side.

If you are wanting to become more energetically sensitive, more psychic, and open up more of your own natural spiritual gifts and talents there is something else you can do to work in with the Astral Body energies (Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars) right now.  For the next few days, either side of the moon, you can also try this:

Meditation for Clearing, Shifting and Healing your Psychic Self

This Meditation will ground you, as it opens you up to more of your own natural energetic and psychic ability.  It is very comforting for people who spend most of their day indoors, or in front of a computer. I recommend that you do this meditative practice at least once, either side of the Full Moon, as well as the evening of the Full Moon on September 30.

1. Find a place outside where you can comfortably stand barefoot on the skin of the earth.  Good, get your position clear.  Find a place where you can do this without interruption.  It is up to you what time of the day you complete your practice.
2. Drink half a glass of water.
3. Then stand barefoot on the earth with your face turned toward the sun (or the moon if you do this at night).
4. Close your eyes.  Draw in sunlight through your heart chakra, or if it is night, draw in moonlight through your third eye.  If it’s cloudy, draw clouds and wind and rain and all those other elements into your belly via your sacral chakra (the second one up, three finger widths below your belly button. Do this for two to five minutes.  Let your body be energised, balanced and healed by the gifts of nature.
5. When you’re finished, drink the rest of the glass of water.

Expect to feel different in the days to come.  Expect to be shown things in dreams, to become more perceptive and intuitive.  If you want to work with energy or psychic skills, expect them to become stronger and clearer.

Even if you do not want to choose a life path that is more actively spiritually and psychically connected, you will become more emotionally open, more energised, and more naturally intuitive.

Thank you, for working on your own self growth. Every time we do, it lifts the energy of Mass Consciousness.  Every time we clear and shift old energies, it makes its easier for ourselves and everyone else to become more open to our Soul Truth.

Blessings to you, Dear Friends.  The world needs more Lightworkers. Thank you for being one of them! ♥ xx

How do chakras affect my love and abundance?

Chakras are our energy centers that affect directly influence everything from our financial security, our sex life and self esteem to how we give and receive love, express ourselves and practice spirituality.

Thankfully there are many ways, from yoga and meditation to mind-body techniques, that we can use to help balance our chakras. In CHAKRA SECRETS, I share a “secret” Hawaiian mind-body technique that you can use anytime, anywhere, to instantly relieve pain and other problems, and strengthen your chakras — making you the best you can be.

How do you know if your chakras are in balance?

For example, if you are feeling insecure, it’s hard to have a good foundation for a relationship or profitable career, so you’ll want to strengthen your first or Root Chakra. If you feel needy, crave touch and sex and want to feel more passionate and creative, you should work on unblocking your second or Sacral Chakra.

All seven of the chakras have an impact on our lives. In CHAKRA SECRETS, I show how each of my chakras was blocked and share how I was able to move forward through chakra healing techniques that anyone can use to find love and happiness.

BALANCE YOUR CHAKRAS, BALANCE YOUR LIFE!

Part of Bodhisattva’s mission is to archive the sound files of the thousands of antique singing bowls that have passed through our business in the past 16 years.

One of the ways we seek to preserve this legacy is to develop and maintain strict standards on the quality of the recordings we produce, recording both the struck and rim tones of each singing bowl and Master Healing Set that we sell on our site.  In our Large Singing Bowl Galleries, we also record the fundamental (deeper) tones as well. These recordings have improved as technology and bandwidth have evolved, but improvement is a never ending quest.  We try to give our customers the most faithful experience of the bowls possible.  Our recording artist Son Vo (pictured left) has a wonderful hand on the bowls and scrubs the recordings clean of rim noise,  sirens, aircraft, traffic, dogs, crows, and other sounds of West Los Angeles daily life.

But the real impetus for this project is more personal – a desire for the bowls to be heard as broadly as possible, and for their sound to endure beyond their lifetimes.  So we’re creating an archive of this treasure trove of sound files, which will require a great deal of time to organize (we’re always looking for intern help with this project!).   I’m driven by the awareness of how relatively rare it is that this cross current of antique singing bowls should all flow through this time and place; and a sense of responsibility to document them all.  Especially the sets, as to our knowledge, there have never been recordings of singing bowl sets before.   And as we craft these handmade, very individual pieces together to form intervals and scales, I’m struck with the reality that these sets will not stay together forever.  So we seek to preserve the relationships of these bowls.  And the basic fabric of our recording will be woven with these sounds.

The Bodhisattva recording will also feature live sessions as well.  For the past two years, Son and I have been recording sessions with the bowls in the studios of Lotus Post, in Santa Monica, California. We did our first session with the inspiration to interweave one of our best diatonic sets together with one of our best pentatonic sets, utilizing not just striking tones, but all of the fundamental and rim tones as well.  Lotus Post’s founder, Michael Perricone, a bowl master himself, has been a driving force in helping us with the project as producer, engineer and at the onset of the project, a co-musician as well.

In our last antique collection, we received a flurry of concert-pitch Highwalls, four tuned to concert pitch on the fundamentals (C, A & two matching Fs) and two tuned concert pitch on the rims (E & G).  It was an anomaly that so many Highwalls tuned to whole tones should all come together in the same collection.  I have only completed one antique Highwall set and it took about four or five years to complete.  That set was matched on the rims, from a fifth octave C to a B (featured in our Crown Chakra Meditation video).  However, we had no recording of anything with whole tones mixed between the rims and fundamentals. So, on a beautiful, late summer evening, we took the bowls to Lotus Post to capture their resonance together, before they parted ways forever.

What I loved about this collection is that they all had something to say to each other, and I felt as though I was sitting in on a conversation conducted in a universal tongue.  Despite their varying densities, their timbres were well matched and I loved the interplay of the whole tones referencing each other across the octaves, with their flatted fifth harmonies dancing in between.   I felt so blessed to have been in the room when they all came together.

 Son and I have a rough layout of the sequencing,  but our “day jobs” come first!  So the project is slowly getting  done as soon as the flow of work allows.  Please stay tuned!

CHAKRA POWER! How to Fire Up Your Energy Centers to Live a Fuller Life

Harriette shows how chakras affect everyone’s daily lives and are not just esoteric Eastern concepts for the yogi. She uses entertaining tidbits from the Wizard of Oz – likening the ruby slippers that guided Dorothy home to our own red Root Chakra, the base of safety and security. And she likens the Yellow Brick Road that took Dorothy to the Emerald City to the Solar Plexus Chakra, our personal golden path to the green Heart Chakra of love and compassion… brilliant analogies that make the chakra system so easily understandable.

Along with her colorful explanations of each of the seven chakras, Knight offers tips to heal each chakra, as well as a bonus section on “The Meanings of Stones You Wear,” describing the healing properties and chakra activation of gems ranging from abalone to zircon. This book is a great addition to any library of books on chakras and one I’ll refer to over and over again.

Harriette Knight, Master Healer & Psychic-Medium is also the author of GEMSTONE POWER! 52 Meanings and Meditations from Abalone to Zircon.

You can hear her Psychic & Healing Hour on Blog Talk Radio every Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. PT at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/HarrietteKnight.

Here, she enlightens us on her writing process:

Becca: What inspired you to write the book?

I have been in love with the psychic arts since I can remember. As a child, I had vivid past life memories, and envisioned my loved ones who had passed over floating around watching over me. At age 14, I started to fix up my friends according to their astrological signs. It wasn’t just the psychic arts that I loved, I loved art itself. I have been an artist my entire life.

If anyone told me that when I grew up I would be a psychic-medium or healer, I would’ve thought they were crazy. I always knew I would be an artist and a writer, but going from point A to B had a lot of detours.

In the early 90′s, after I divorced my husband, I dove head first into my spiritual practice. I was like a vacuum for information about everything from channeling to energy clearing to meditation. At the time I was searching for a book on chakras that was easy to understand and user friendly. All the books I found had a lot of big words and esoteric philosphies that did not resonate to me. There was one Chakra meditation tape that I tried and tried to listen to but the women’s voice grated on me like nails on a blackboard. I thought, “Where is an easy to understand book about Chakras??”  Fifteen years later my book, CHAKRA POWER! How to Fire Up Your Energy Centers to Live a Fuller Life was born.

Becca: What is something no one knows about you?

What most people don’t know is that for 12 years I was in an abusive marriage. This is shocking to many since my personality is independent and strong. I met my (ex) husband while working on the movie “Porky’s.”  He was one of the stars of the movie, and I was the Production Coordinator. It was love at first sight.

As time progressed, what began as flattering attention turned into controlling and mentally and verbally abusive behavior. Over the course of the relationship, I felt as if I was slowly dying, and the only thing at that time that kept my spark alive was my artwork. It was something I never gave up and, on one level, I believe it saved me.

One of the things I love most about the chakra work is its alignment with the colors of the rainbow. To me, it’s a beautiful weaving of my art background and spiritual practice.

Becca: What is the best thing anyone has said about your book?

I am very proud to say that I have heard the following words more than once. “Your book has changed my life.” Having had that experience from other authors, I can’t think of a higher compliment.  If I have been able to inspire even one person, I feel as if I have done my job well.

Becca: Any advice for others who feel they have inspiration to share?

Yes! Share it!! I believe that everyone is gifted with abilities that NEED to be shared. We are all teachers and students at the same time. Sharing inspiration often defies logic.  Listen to your intuition. Let your heart lead you. You will be shown the way for your messages and gifts to be shared. As long as you come from a place of integrity and honesty, you can never go wrong.

Key Functions: Survival, primal instincts, physical needs, grounding, trust, security, abundance

Linked Chakra: Throat

Spiritual Lessons: Living in the physical, survival, trust, connecting to tribe or group, creating abundance

Functions:

Connected to all things physical and material, it spins slower than the chakras above because of the denseness of the energy it processes.  It manifests everything needed to survive, holds instincts, controls the Fight or Flight response, determines if you become a part of the tribe, society or group, if you are self-sufficient or the victim.

It houses your ‘right to have’ making it the center for abundance.  All money issues, feeling as if you are undeserving, feelings of not enough or any other lack mentality is a Root chakra issue.

It is the center of a man’s sexuality but holds the sex drive of both sexes. 

It stores core issues, child abuse, incidents of betrayal and the failings of others.

All Root chakra issues are caused by denial.  Every issue associated with the Root is a denial of Who You Really Are and All You Can Be.  If you suffer from lack, it is because you deny that you are abundant.  If you insecure, it is because you deny that you are secure.

Signs of Imbalance:

Underactive: feeling ungrounded, denial, problems with men’s reproductive organs, men’s sexual dysfunctions, low sex-drive, bladder infections, hemorrhoids, constipation, sciatica, skin issues, obesity, addictions, lack mentality, insecurity, feeling apart from the whole, mild fatigue to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, lethargy, weakness, disorganized, untidy, lack of confidence, fear of change, fear of abandonment, disinterest in life, depression, and self-sabotaging tendencies

Overactive: domination, aggression, violence, anger, impulsiveness, recklessness, high (insatiable) sex-drive, overindulgence but not addictions, high strung, hyperactive, greed, materialism, perfectionism, suspicion and insomnia
