The 8th Chakra and the Universal Heart First published in Kindred Spirit magazine Mar/Apr 2007 If you find yourself almost overwhelmed by the emotion of a sunset or by the sight of suffering and you feel as though you are breaking open with joy or compassion, the chances are that your 8th chakra is opening. Over five millennia ago, the Vedic spiritual tradition of ancient India recognised that the consciousness of our ego-based selves is mediated through energetic vortices, or chakras. But we have known at a deep level that our personality energy field of seven chakras is incomplete. And it is. Heart-centred soul healing Our human experience has sometimes been described as ‘spiritual boot camp’, a view with which, I suspect, most of us would concur. The old adage that ‘a problem can’t be solved from the same level of awareness that caused it’, offers us the key to why it can be so difficult to let go of such energetic dis-ease. It is as though we are standing in a valley and can only see a limited distance around us. HoME

When the associated organ/gland/system is weak or out of balance, the relevant chakra will be under active; and when the associated organ/system is balanced and healthy, the chakra will generally be in harmony. This interconnectivity of the physical and etheric bodies goes the other way as well—if there is an energetic imbalance in a chakra, for example, as a result of emotional disturbances, then this can also cause the associated physical elements to become weak as well. It is interesting to note that in the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine each organ corresponds to specific emotional states. In a general sense, you will get the most benefit by using the following herbs as an adjunct to the energetic/etheric practices outlined above. 1. 2.
Error Feedback: Skill Acquisition Theory As noted in the previous post on theory in error feedback, the research on expertise and ACT-R Theory suggest that learning a language is similar to learning other activities like chess, music, and math. In this post, we'll look at Skill Acquisition Theory (SAT), which is based upon the work in ACT-R. Robert DeKeyser (2007) has a good overview of Skill Acquisition Theory. (See Theories in Second Language Acquistion.) As he notes, development has three stages: declarative, procedural, and automatic (from ACT-R Theory). According to DeKeyser, Skill Acquisition Theory does not explain all of language learning and apparently is most effective at beginner levels. high-aptitutde adult learners engaged inthe learning of simple structures atfairly early stages of learningin instructional contexts It seems obvious that young children will not respond as well as adults to the use of declarative knowledge as their ability to understand rules and explanations is more limited.
Keeping The Seven Chakras Healthy By Wes Annac Guest Writer for Wake Up World Chakras are literally the body’s etheric energy centers that bring through and interpret the creative energy of the higher realms, and we unknowingly use the energy that comes through them to create/sustain our reality and keep our bodies physically healthy. Keeping our chakras healthy is as important as keeping our physical bodies healthy, and as our collective vibration continues to rise, more people will become aware of the chakras, and the necessity to treat them respectfully and maintain a strong, clear connection to the energy they bring through. We can’t treat something correctly, however, if we don’t know it exists, and most of humanity still has a lot to learn about the spiritual nature of our existence, including our chakras. I’m sure most of you know about the seven chakras. #1: The Root Chakra For those of you who don’t know, the root chakra’s responsible for our basic creative and survival-based instincts. #2: The Sacral Chakra
1: The Very Different World of Long-Term Illness When you develop a long-term illness, like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or fibromyalgia, you may feel like you have entered a new world in which all the rules of life have changed and there is no obvious way forward. This perplexing situation can make you feel helpless. But there are many things you can do to gain control and improve your well being. This book will show you how to take an active role in managing your illness. We'll start by looking at how long-term illness is different from short-term illness and terminal illness. Short-term or acute illnesses are temporary problems that usually end because of medical treatment or the passage of time. Perhaps when you first became ill with CFS or fibromyalgia, you thought you had a short-term illness, but one that kept hanging on. Not only does chronic illness impose limits and bring symptoms that persist, it touches many parts of your life. Interactions of illness and other factors The same two-way relationship applies to feelings as well.

Forget the Resolutions, Create a Vision Board that Works | glad.is With the holiday buzz quietly behind us, are you still forging ahead with the new goals you wanted to implement into 2013, or, like most people, are you already noticing a backslide? It’s the middle of January, and studies show that 80% of our resolutions are now as out of our thoughts as the boxed up Christmas decorations. One of the reasons that resolutions are often sidetracked is that they cause us to focus on what we need to give up, instead of asking for more of what we want. We say toss out those resolutions, and join us in creating a Vision Board for 2013. You have no doubt heard of Vision Boards by now – many celebrities and self-growth experts from Oprah to Maria Shriver advocate their use, and there are numerous books and websites on the subject. What is a Vision Board exactly? A vision board is a tool used to help set intentions. And the importance of a visual, when creating goals, is undeniable. See our guide with step-by-step instruction on creating a Vision Board. Comments
Opening Chakras, Proceed With Caution Beware of Opening Chakras Chakras are focal points within ourselves where we can connect with and express the Inner Light of our true nature. But most people have not purified and awakened these energy centers so they hardly function at all. Spiritual and energy practices can help awaken these energy centers so that the radiance of our true nature, our life force, can shine, uplifting our consciousness and radiating out into the world. The problem with open chakras is that we can be too open and attuned to negativity and pain. This is happening to a lot of sensitive people - they take in too much from others and don't know how to protect themselves. We don't want to learn tools for opening chakras but rather learn to gradually and safely cleanse and awaken them. My Experience With Helping Folks Awaken Chakras I’ve been practicing and teaching meditation for over 40 years. I’ve helped them come back to balance, through Energy Healing and guided energy meditation practices. Chakra Blockages
My Most Common Teaching Mistake | Top Notch Teaching I regularly find myself questioning some of my behaviours and actions in my classroom and wonder how I could have handled a situation better. But, you know what….we all make mistakes. Even the best teachers I know make mistakes now and then. And you know what, it’s generally the same mistake that I can’t stop making. Do you have this too? The mistake that I can’t seem to stop making is: Not Asking For Help Yep, that’s me all over. I began my teaching career with such enthusiasm and hope. I definitely had a certain amount of self-expectation, and there were expectations placed on me by other teachers, the principal and parents. You know I coped quite well at first, but then when things didn’t go to plan, or fit the picture in my head, or didn’t meet my self-expectation, that’s when it all started to get too hard. I found that teaching can be a pretty isolating profession at times. So what’s your biggest teaching mistake? Tags: featured, mistakes About Melinda
I opened my third eye and I regret it, page 4 I see this pdf file has been mentioned on ATS back in 2009. I never did see it then, it seems to be quite a long read. I copied a technique several years ago that was posted on ATS; I tried to do a search so that I can credit the original poster on this one but I cannot find it. Here was the technique: If anyone knows who the Author is I would appreciate knowing so that credit can be given! I find this technique quite stimulating! This was copied here from ATS several years ago, but I do not know who to credit for its authorship! Please read all of the following if you wish to perform this exercise. The 3rd Eye is directly related to the 6th chakra; the psychic chakra, located on the middle of the forehead above the brows. In the average person, the pineal gland is atrophied and dormant. The pineal gland is like a grape in size; like a raisin in most people where it remains dormant. Opening the pineal gland/3rd eye: This is done with a specific tone and chant. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. 1.
