Description of the Chakras
Written by © Ewald Berkers What chakras are and their psychological properties Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side. The chakras can have various levels of activity. Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. There exist lots of techniques to balance the chakras. . 1 - Root chakra The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. If this chakra is over-active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. . 2 - Sacral chakra The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a "poker face," the Sacral chakra is under-active. If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. . 3 - Navel chakra

Magic Familiar-Chakras The second chakra is known as the sacral plexus chakra spleen chakra or sexual chakra. It is situated in the lower abdomen behind and approximately two inches from the belly button, in the area of the womb. The chakra is represented by the orange Svadhistthana mandala (ones own place), the element of water and it is also symbolised by a fish. It is the source of creativity and inspiration. If this chakra is not working properly it cause negative influences in the physical, this is seen in the form of emotional problems or sexual guilt, and excesses in food, sex and drugs.

Sangha Sanskrit, Pali: The Community; Chinese: {{{3}}}, Sēng, Japanese: 僧, Sō, Standard Tibetan: dge-'dun, Mongolian: quvara The community of those who have attained enlightenment, who may help a practicing Buddhist to do the same. Refuge formula[edit] Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is generally considered to make one officially a Buddhist. The Mahayana Chinese/Korean/Japanese version differs only slightly from the Theravada: The prayer for taking refuge in Tibetan Buddhism.

Rhea (mythology) Rhea (or Cybele), after a marble, 1888. Then she hid Zeus in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete. According to varying versions of the story: Rhea only appears in Greek art from the fourth century BC, when her iconography draws on that of Cybele; the two therefore, often are indistinguishable;[10] both can be shown on a throne flanked by lions, riding a lion, or on a chariot drawn by two lions. Most often Rhea's symbol is a pair of lions, the ones that pulled her celestial chariot and were seen often, rampant, one on either side of the gateways through the walls to many cities in the ancient world. In Homer, Rhea is the mother of the gods, although not a universal mother like Cybele, the Phrygian Great Mother, with whom she was later identified.

Transnational Institute Plant perception (physiology) The leaf closing after touch in Mimosa pudica depends upon electrical signals. Vine tendril. Note how the plant reaches for and wraps around the galvanised wire provided for the purpose. This is a very tough twig and appears to have no other purpose than support for the plant. Nothing else grows from it. It must reach out softly, then wrap around and then dry and toughen. Plant perception occurs on a cellular level. Plant response strategies depend on quick and reliable recognition-systems. Wounded tomatoes are known to produce the volatile odour methyl-jasmonate as an alarm-signal.[5] Plants in the neighbourhood can then detect the chemical and prepare for the attack by producing chemicals that defend against insects or attract predators.[5] Plants systematically use hormonal signalling pathways to coordinate their own development and morphology. Plant cells can be electrically excitable and can display rapid electrical responses (action potentials) to environmental stimuli.
