In this last video of the 7-part series on the Chakra System, I will focus on the 7th Chakra, also called the "Crown Chakra." As the name suggests, this Chakra connects us to the throne. This is where the all-governing power of the universe touches and enters our beingness.
I know this must sound like a powerful spiritual proclamation about the 7th Chakra. Still, even in a scientific way, a part of us must surrender to the death of this life, and that pre-determined destination on a physical level connects us to an unseen act that all living things must go through: life and death.
From this primal truth, we can then bring the elements of unconditional love and a force of love that lives beyond a being's physical life. This act of love has the power to go through time and alter reality both now and in the future. And maybe even rewrite the past by seeing it from a new perspective.
As I have done in the previous chakra videos, I bring two great books as references: 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but there are so many others on these topics, and any of them will help you grow on your path to healing. I also use some of my personal experiences.
Blessings!

Today, I will examine the projections of the universe and the Psychic or Astral Plane. This dimension is a space where all the projections of everyone reside in the ether. We have a choice every day to take from this plane what we see fit.
We can focus on aspects of the Astral Plane, and they can make us feel good or bad depending on how they are reinterpreted by the individual. I give some background to how, with the advancement of the World Wide Web or the Internet, we have, in a way, materialized the astral plane into a tangible archived file of all these projections of everyone.
Even this video is part of the astral plane. It's a psychic projection that people can choose to let enter their consciousness.
We all have a choice as to what we focus on each day. I encourage you to choose wisely what will bring you into alignment and balance as you work on the mind-body connection.
Blessings!

Today, I will examine the sixth Chakra as we learn about the Third Eye and its spiritual and mental aspects related to the body. The Chakra System as a whole is an ancient practice of bringing personal experience into a model that represents areas of the body and how they coincide with what we experience physically.
Even though many consider this a spiritual practice, it may produce scientific results in individuals who somehow write their experience into something tangible and proven by reversing the disease and gaining alignment.
Of course, this is as much about expanding consciousness as anything, and sometimes, the lessons learned in the Chakra System teach us what we cannot control and, on the other hand, what we have the power to change.
It's a balancing of the scales.
I bring two great books as references, as I have done in the previous chakra videos. 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but so many books are on these topics, and any of them will help you grow on your path to healing.
Blessings!

Today, I talk about the voice and the word that originates in the 5th Chakra. This Chyakra is often called the the Throat Chakra and is the first Chakra that comes next after the middle Chakra called the Heart. This movement into the voice is a powerful transformation where we amplify and communicate a message.
With the Throat Chakra, we are able to put stories together through the use of letters with meaning. As we speak, we evoke a sense of manifestation as to the other Chakras.
This Throat Chakra is a great communicator that helps evolve consciousness. I love how we can personalize the Chakra System by adapting our lives and integrating an ancient spiritual, often even somewhat scientific, way of dealing with the mind-body connection.
I bring two great books as references, as I have done in the previous chakra videos. 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but so many books are on these topics, and any of them will help you grow on your path to healing.

We sometimes have enemies, but having an enemy hurts your overall health. Today, I look into how the concept of an enemy comes to fruition. I describe how the enemy only arises from love being denied or rejected.
I break down what came first, hate or love. Through personal experience and mindful reasoning, I show that we make enemies after we feel that love is missing.
And finally, I will share why we must find a way to love our enemy because if we don't, it makes it very hard to love ourselves.
Blessings!

In the Chakra System, the Fourth Chakra, called the Heart Chakra, is the center of the whole system. All three lower Chakras and the three upper Chakras pass through the Heart Chakra. It is this Chakra that we learn and integrate all the Chakras. In today's video episode I will share some traditional methods for the heart chakra and also bring a modern progressive approach.
What I love about the Chakra System is how you can personalize it and contribute to the evolution of understanding this spiritual and scientific system of the mind-body connection. It has an adaptation quality that allows for interpretive responses, and all of us can learn as each one applies the principles to their life.
I bring two great books as references, as I have done in the previous chakra videos. 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but so many books are on these topics, and any of them will help you grow on your path to healing.

In this video, I break down in detail how the third Chakra, often called the Solar Plexus chakra, works. I will use traditional explanations, modern modifications, and personal experiences to help guide you in your mind-body connection.
In the 3rd Chakra, we will look at the element of fire and how this transformative and destructive force can bring balance to your life. I will give examples of how you might be out of balance one way or the other and how you can work at balancing this third Chakra.
What is exciting about the Chakra system is how you can personalize it to help you specifically target areas and find a sense of equilibrium amongst the complexity of the mind-body connection.
We will use two great books as references. 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but so many books are on these topics, and any of them will help you grow on your path to healing.

Today I welcome my first guest Marie. The two of us have shared 26 years as life partners, and in this episode, Marie gives her first-hand account of how she has healed a troublesome chronic skin issue through emotional therapy.
Marie tells of the story of how she confronted a lot of deep emotional trauma with her parents. And this willingness to open up the channels in her energetic field brought a complete 100% % clearing of her skin issue. After years of doctors having no real answer, she used the techniques of Dr. John Sarno to help guide her towards unlocking her repressed emotions. These repressed emotions were actually contributing to her chronic skin condition.
As her partner, it has been amazing to witness how she healed by facing her emotional pain. I encourage you to look at the entire body-mind connection when dealing with a chronic condition with no real solution. We are not giving medical advice per se. Still, there is some real life example of people using the techniques of repressed emotional therapy to bring a full energetic balance, both mind and body.
Blessings!

I'm excited to present and share with you today how the second Chakra works in the mind-body connection. The 2nd Chakra is often called the Sacral or in the elemental aspect as I refer to it today, it is called the water Chakra. I will explore some fundamental teachings about this Chakra but also bring in a personal experiential vibe.
What I love so much about this ancient form of spiritual and body practice is how it can evolve and take on individual meaning. It goes beyond a dry one-size fits all methodology and enters a mystical adaptation allowing the self to find new meanings and push just what the Chakra system is about.
There is some science to all of this, as I will share, but it definitely crosses into an experiential form of practice that you can play with and help as you understand your mind-body connection.
We will use two great books as references. 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but so many books are on these topics and any will help you grow in your path to healing.
Blessings!

Today we start a 7-part series on the main Chakras within the body. We look at the Chakra Systems as a whole and how they affect the mind-body connection. I will bring my experience and studies into how this first Chakra, also called the Root Chakra, governs various aspects of the body through our vibrations and general disposition.
This is a brief introduction as there is a lot of information on the Chakra Systems, but I wanted to show how you can easily personalize the study for your uniqueness. One of the things I love about the Chakra Systems, is how they have fundamental principles but also allow for interpretations.
There is some science behind such practices as we can often find relating emotions and energetic states to various diseases that affect areas of the body and the particular Chakras.
In this 7-part series we will use two great books as references. 'Wheels Of Life' by Anodea Judith and 'Anatomy Of The Spirit' by Caroline Myss. These are great books, but there are so many books on these topics, and again, how you bring your personal experience into the system is just as important as the teachings from others.
Blessings!

Today I will share a personal story that has given me the understanding of just how reincarnation is possible. I will explain how my story and that of my mother, without prior knowledge of each other, are connected through past events before this lifetime.
I wasn't someone who believed in reincarnation, but this experience I had and the unbelievable events surrounding them opened my eyes to the possibility. Even if it is not me who lived a past life but just the DNA in my blood from my ancestors speaking through my personal experience in this life.
I asl regardless of your beliefs on the subject of past lives that you would come with an open mind and just listen all the way through as I tell the story. May this information help you in your journey towards alignment and unconditional love.
Blessings!

So it is impossible for two people to enter a room and see, hear, feel, and experience the room exactly the same way. And, I mean we can only take in so many bits of information, and what we decide to focus on and delete is a by-product of our belief system to some extent. What we put faith in often guides us to how we interpret reality.
Today I will give examples and get the mind thinking about the importance of being mindful of what you believe. Beliefs are a changeable form and we have the power to decide what we will believe. That is one liberty we all have the right to use our faith in any way we see fit. This is a great responsibility and can take us in all sorts of directions.
We have the power to decide, and this eventually shapes a reality that we interpret as fact, but the seeds of what is possible were planted before the outcome arrives.
Blessings!

Have you ever heard the term 'Beginner's Mind' or even Beginner's Luck'? Today, I will take a look at the genius inside the 'Beginner's mind'. I give examples of just how intelligent being open-minded is, and actually acting like you know nothing can be a pathway to wisdom.
I give personal accounts to why and how a 'Beginner's Mind' is really the gateway to miracles happening and even new perspectives, ideas, and solutions for problems arise. So many technological advancements happen from so-called accidents or someone unaware of how they stumbled into the idea.
I mean, if someone tells you they know something, it is sort of the beginning to them being shown they still have so much to learn.
I am always a student looking for a pearl of wisdom.
Blessings!

Have you ever heard about the term the 'Dark Night of the Soul'? Today I will share information about this state of being that Saint John of the Cross first coined in the 16th century. John wrote about this deeply spiritual experience, and in our modern times, so many regular people actually go through this.
The Dark Night of the Soul is now a very common experience for individuals even if they have no organized religion. For this Dark Night of the Soul is more about a personal test of the self to find a connection inside themselves. Not controlled or organized by a religion but rather uniquely designed for the individual who feels isolated and abandoned in these modern times.
I hope these words today help you to find a deeper connection to your spirit and that you will attain an alignment within the very essence of your being.
Keep going my friend this is the way.
Blessings!

I know it might seem hard to believe, but really, who you are right now, and who I am is enough. Enough for what? Enough to be loved, to receive the spirit of love just as we are in all this brokenness, we are enough. That's breaking down the illusion.
Today I will give you a simple and humble breathing exercise to practice. Often when people suffer from anxiety or a panic attack, the breathing gets out of sorts. The out breath gets much longer than the in breath, and that contributes to some of the uncomfortable sensations and reactions during a panic attack or even general anxiety.
There are a lot of excellent breath work techniques to help bring a sense of balance and good vibes. I know that just regulating my breathing eliminates about 90% of my stress. I encourage you to just breathe and find that you are enough right now as you are.
Blessings!

There is sometimes a battle that happens inside us all. It is unseen and hidden behind the walls of our psyche and spirit. It's the Divine Will versus the Personal Will. This competition is a disruption. When we are aligned and working with harmony, there is no versus but rather a partnership with the Divine and the Personal.
Today, I will look at my personal testimony of some life experiences where I got out of balance and struggled between the Divine Will and my Personal Will. I will share the differences between the two wills and how to bring them together naturally. For me, it often contains a bit of surrender, letting go, and today, even some tears.
Blessings!

I'm not sure if you have heard of the 'shadow self'? It is often a term used to describe a part of the self that is unconscious of its behavior. The shadow self is often a trickster that deceives us into the illusion. The ego usually projects the shadow self even if the person is unaware of their shadow self. That's why it is sometimes easier for people to see the shadow self of someone even though the individual is unaware of their shadow self's behavior.
Today, I will talk a bit about the shadow self and how love can trigger it because love is the enemy of the shadow self. I hope you find some value in these words I share today.
Blessings!

When our minds are racing, and we feel threatened by not having enough time, we become stressed. This state of being is necessary in an emergency, but too much of the time in our modern society, we are entering the 'fight or flight' response.
Our bodies and minds are connected so that we can make decisions to survive when a dangerous situation occurs. Unfortunately, the technology and ability to receive information all the time has caused many of us to be in a 'fight or flight' response too often.
Today, I will discuss how we can actively use our parasympathetic system to help calm the body. I will give examples of how to observe the mind and slow things down, which also relaxes our bodies.
Blessings!

So today, I am going to share some archetypes and models that explain how we defend ourselves in a relationship. I will use Barbara Ann Brennan's first book, Hands Of Light. She has a few diagrams and models on 'how we use' different defense mechanisms based on our childhood traumas.
I will share my 'personal archetypes' that I defend myself with when I feel threatened. I also show how my partner and wife use hers to protect. It's a great way to see how our lower selves can feed each other.
Most of these models are not who we are but rather how we defend ourselves. It's a great exercise to understand because even if you don't use these models to protect yourself in a relationship, you can learn how people around you might be doing it to you.
Understanding how people use defense mechanisms makes one better at disarming someone when they are threatened.
May you find guidance and wisdom from such information.
Blessings!

So today, I bring up how any good relationship needs freedom and vulnerability. There must be a sense of detachment to allow what is best for each person to transpire. Whether marriage or friendship, these are healthy ways to keep a relationship positive.
In contrast, so many businesses try to trap and trick people and create an environment of dishonesty and fear. I challenge you and me to examine how we are contradictory in our business practices. If a good relationship needs freedom and vulnerability, then why does that not apply to business?
I set forth a personal intention to do better at bringing the same philosophy to business that applies to a good personal relationship.
That said, I am just a student here, always learning where the wisdom is hiding.
Blessings!
