Energy Centre

Eastern philosophy and medicine, originating in ancient India and China, have traditionally regarded body structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human body, representing the flow of life energy and, in some sense, conduits for that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person�s biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as �whirlpools referred,� and in Indian, they are considered �energy bursts� or �wheels.� The process of energy transformation happens exactly in these centers. Vital energy, along with blood, circulates around the meridians in thechakras and fuels all organs and systems in the human body. When the circulation in these meridians stagnates, the human body becomes susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventative method, designed explicitly to battle such stagnation is Chi Gun, an ancient Chinese method for self-healing which activates the energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release the energy themselves by massaging specific areas corresponding to the different chakras. There are 49 chakras mentioned in the Vedic Canons, seven of which are basic; 21 are in the second circle, and 21 in the third circle. According to the Vedis, there are multiple energy channels leading to different locations from the chakras. Three of these channels are basic. The first one, called �shushumna,� is hollow and is concentrated in the spine. The other two energy pathways, �ida� and �pingala�, are located on either side of the spine. These twochannels are the most active in most people, while �shushumna� remains stagnant. The seven basic chakras spin at high speeds in the body of healthy individuals but slow down in times of sickness or with advancing age. When the body is in a harmonious balance, thechakras remain partially open. Closed chakras are unable to receive energy, leading to various disorders. The first basic chakra, �Muladhara,� is located at the base of the spine in the tailbone area. Life energy, which is at the core of a strong and healthy immune system, is stored in this chakra. It is impossible for a person to become sick, old or even to die, before exhausting his or her reserves of this vital energy. The very will for life is controlled by Muladhara. It is also in charge of the bones and joints, the teeth, the nails, the urinogenital system and the large intestine. The first symptoms of a malfunctioning Muladhara are unreasonable fear, faintness, lack of security or faith in the future, leg and foot problems, and intestinal disorders. The interrupted activity of the Muladhara chakra causes lack of energy, digestive problems, diseases of the bones and spine, and nervous tension among others. The second chakra, �Svadhistana,� is located at the level of the sacrum, three or four fingers below the belly button. This chakra regulates the pelvis, the kidneys and sexual functions. We also feel other peoples� emotions through this chakra. Symptoms of a malfunctioning �Svadhistana� are kidney problems, cystitis and arthritis. The third chakra, �Manipura,� is found in the solar plexus area. This chakra is the center for storing and distributing energy produced by digestion and breathing. It is responsible for vision, the gastrointestinal system, the liver, the gall bladder, the pancreas and nervous system.Symptoms of a stagnant �Manipura� are as follows: increased and constant worrying, as well as stomach, liver and nervous disorders. The fourth chakra, �Anahata,� also called the heart chakra, is located in the chest area. We generate and receive love through this chakra. It is in charge of the heart, the lungs, the bronchi, the hands and the arms. Symptoms of stagnation include depression and cardiovascular imbalances. The fifth chakra, �Vishudha,� is located at the throat level and is the center of analytical skills and logic. This chakra sustains the skin,organs of hearing, along with the trachea and lungs. Symptoms include a lack of emotional stability, discomfort in the cervical spine, soar throats, difficulties communicating, and esophagus and thyroid ailments. The sixth chakra, �Adjna,� is located between the eyebrows and is called the �third eye.� Here is the throne for the human brain. �Adjna� circulates energy to the head and pituitary gland and is also responsible for determining our harmonious development. If a person�s �third eye� ceases to function properly, one might notice a decrease in intellectual ability, headaches and migraines, earaches, olfactory illnesses, and psychological disorders. The seventh chakra, �Sahasrara,� is found at the very top of the head and represents the apex where an individual�s energy vibrates with the highest frequency. It is considered a spiritual center and the entrance to the body for cosmic energy. A stagnant �Sahasrara� can result in a decrease in or lack of inner wisdom, as well as a lack of basic intuition. With this basic knowledge of the first sevenchakras , we can address the question: �How do we use this information to locate the causes of our troubles and problems, and with the help of Eastern Medicine, learn to control the functions of thechakras ourselves?�. From the perspective of Eastern Medicine, our health depends on the distribution of our energy-consciousness informational field. A shortage of energy inevitably causes ailments. According to Tibetan Medicine, the only difference between youth and old age, and between a sick and healthy individual, is the difference in the rotating speed of the whirlpool energy centers of the chakras. If these different speeds are balanced, old people will rejuvenate and sick people will heal. Therefore, the best way to preserve and keep our health, youth and vitality is to restore and maintain a balanced movement of the energy centers. The easiest way to keep thechakras balanced is through a set of physical exercises. Yannis called these not simply exercises, but rituals. These rituals allow the human body to mold its energy centers to an ideal level of function. The seven rituals, one for each chakra, must be performed together every morning and when not possible, in the evening. Skipping rituals unbalances energy distribution, and so for the best results, no more than one day per week should be missed. The daily chakra rituals are necessary not only for revitalizing the body, but also for achieving success in every facet of life. �Once you learn how to transform your energy, you will also become happier,� concluded Yannis. For learning these rituals (which have transformed many peoples� lives throughout the world), seeing them in action is much more effective than trying to follow written descriptions or diagrams. A DVD, available from Helix 7, Inc. (www.FeelingOfHappiness.com), includes actual demonstrations of these rituals. Another method of keeping thechakras balanced and in their optimal half-open state is meditation. Meditative methods are universal to the human experience; they have accumulated over the ages through many different cultures and have proven their value in attaining peace, clarity, equanimity and in transcending despair. People who meditate on a regular basis are usually calmer, more secure, more joyful and more productive human beings. They are more effective in their everyday lives because they use their mental and physical potential, abilities and skills to their fullest extent. All too often, we humans fail to realize the great latent powers which are, as yet, unawakened in our bodies. We must learn how to revive and utilize them. This can only be achieved through meditation. Eastern men of wisdom, who believed meditation to be a vital necessity, stumbled on this discovery more than 1000 years ago. They learned to influence their inner organs and control their metabolism with the power of their minds. Meditation is to the mind what exercise is to the body; mental strength can be built up just like physical strength. Just as in athletics, it is important for an individual to train his or her body, it is important for an individual to train his or her mind throughmeditation. The best time for meditation is early morning, preferably at dawn. Do not meditate when you are sad, aggravated, desperate or sick, because these intense emotional and physiological distractions make an enlightened state of mind impossible. For an effectivemeditation session, it is preferable to arrange for the undistracted silence of a quiet, clean room with flowers, or the soothing sounds of Mother Nature - near a lake, river, waterfall, woods or fields. Many different mental practices, having their origin in historical traditions, fall under the general heading of "meditation." These paths of mental development can involve emotional and intellectual facets and may also be coordinated with specific movements.Meditation can be structured or unstructured, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer writes in his book Real Magic, �The process of meditation is nothing more than quietly going within and discovering that higher component of yourself � Learning to meditate is learning how to live rather than talking about it��

Rekindle relationship

Here are 5 tips that are guaranteed to rekindle a relationship:

1. Make a date preferably where you had your fist date. It tends to bring back fond memories. Get dressed up for the occasion. Like then, you want to present the best of yourself. Call up during the day to confirm the date and tell them how excited you are. Enthusiasm acts like a fan to make the flame bigger. I imagine enthusiasm like a heart shaped fireplace bellows. Use it.

2. Look at your partner as if for the first time and re-discover the good qualities you saw when you fell in love and be open to discover new ones. Hold hands and silently connect while gazing into each others' eyes softly. Then tell them 3 things you love about them, at least one in each category:

-physical attribute you love: their eyes, the way they walk, their muscles tone, their strength, how sexy they are... you got the idea.

- one character trait that you appreciate about them, such as courage, caring, reliability, intelligence, sense of humor...

- one intangible quality that is especially dear to you, such as their thirst for creativity, their thirst for knowledge, their clarity and mental sharpness, their ability to let go of resentment and start new...

3. Intimacy is not necessarily about sex. I'm talking especially to men here. When your woman is not in the mood for sex do not force it to happen. Not only it does not work, it often backfires. She might resent you and avoid your approach more than before. Instead offer to her some other way to feel close like inviting her to sit on your lap. She might be eager to do that. Many women I am coaching tell me that they love sitting in their husband's lap. For some it brings back fond memories of early childhood and for others sitting in a sweet embrace fulfils their desire to be close without the often unspoken expectation that sex will have to follow. It feels very nurturing and non-threatening. It is very sweet. Men just put your arms around her waist, allow her head to nestle unto your shoulders and your head and kiss her neck gently. I promise you will love her sweet surrender to receiving affection yourself. Who knows what might happen naturally after that. However, the idea is to do it without expectations. Tantra teaches that expectations slowly choke love, and in my work I hear proof of it very often.

4. Dust off your sense of humor or open up to the possibility that everyone has a sense of humor. For some of you your sense of humor is hidden more deeply than for others, but we all have one. We will notice that when you see things more lightly your sense of humor can bloom in a way you had never expected, even if you think you have no sense of humor. Hopefully the following example will inspire you to try it out in your relationship.

Mary and Luis came to me because they were hopelessly distant and angry at each other. Being together had become unbearable because every little disagreement ended up in a bitter fight after which they would not talk to each other for days. They wanted to change it because they knew that deep down there was love. After starting the therapy, which included communication of hidden resentments and forgiveness, I asked them if they were willing to try out something unusual while they were doing the deeper healing work. Would they be willing to take a conscious deep breath, and switch the program from anger to laughter as soon as they noticed the upset well up?

They were doubtful they could do it, but they decided to give it a chance. They call me a week later telling me that it worked like magic. The laughter, which started out as forced, became really natural and it relaxed them enough to allow them to see the pettiness of their arguments. After the laughter they felt much closer together and were inspired to hug each other with genuine fondness. A miracle? Yes, perhaps. It depends how you define ‘miracle'.

5. This one is hot: take out 3 pieces of paper each and write down on each paper a sexual fantasy that would turn you on. (6 scenarios feel like a good number to choose from) You take those home and put them into a bowl. As soon as you arrive fish one out. You might like the first one. If you both like it, go ahead and make it happen. It will be hot! If you don't agree on the first one, fish out another, until you agree on one. If you don't agree on any of them, make sure you laugh instead of getting upset if you don't like what your partner fantasizes about. Thank him or her for risking to express it. It does not have to happen exactly as described. You want to use the description, too, as a turn on, not to create stress. You can modify it the way you want. That is guaranteed to take you out of boredom.
Don't let your relationship's flame go out. Make sure to keep the spark lit or rekindle it with these tips.
