Feeling Blocked
There has been some recent discussion about difficulties meditating, from bizarre detailed dreams (mine ), to silent sleep, to almost there but not quite getting there.
I thought I would throw this information out there in case it may help someone.
I find it very helpful to have my "Chakras" open and balanced when I try to connect. Here is some info on Chakras; Consider each one carefully perhaps you will find your block. I am by NO means an expert on this, so if anyone has anything to add...PLEASE and THANK YOU!
If you think about it for a moment, you know that everything is made up of energy. And if our own energy isn't flowing properly, how can we communicate properly with external energies?
I just went off to do some more reading about Chakras in order to better explain this, but there is WAY too much to try to post, so if it feels like something you want to better understand, I suggest a search. There is a TON of info on it.
RED
1st Chakra: Base or Root Chakra: Kundalini: Root Chakra:
Located at the base of the spine.
Correlates to Earth, survival instincts, grounding, stillness
Contains the primary 8 cells that have all of the knowledge of
creation and remain the only cells in your body that do not
change in your lifetime. It grounds us in the physical world.
ORANGE
2nd Chakra: Spleen: Located just beneath the navel, and
related to our sexual and reproductive capacity.
Blockage manifests as emotional problems or sexual guilt.
YELLOW
3rd Chakra: Solar Plexis: Seat of Emotions. Gives us a sense of personal
power in the world. If one suffers from low self esteem for any reason (whether conscious or subconscious) this can cause a blockage. By the same token, if one is overly controlling this chakra will not be balanced.
GREEN
4th Chakra: Heart Chakra: Forgiving others AND one's self is essential to keeping this one open. Not being open to love or willing to openly love can cause blockage as well
BLUE
5th Chakra: Throat: Tied to creativity and communication.
Also known as where God speaks. Truthfulness with others AND SELF keep this chakra open.
INDIGO
6th Chakra: Third Eye Pineal Gland:
Often connected to the forehead.
Is a physical eye at the base of the brain
with the capabilities of looking upward.
Clairvoyance, psychic abilities, imagination, dreaming
PURPLE
7th Chakra Crown: Connects you with message from higher realms.
Can be experienced as a pressure on the top of the head.
spiritual connection, understanding, knowing, bliss, God
Hope this helps someone...
LOVE!!!!
Sammy

wonderful research sammy thank you
when soul exits...it will experience these colors.....
aka...consciousness leaves...
it will usually be from base on upward...
the last color one will experience...is usually violet....
the soul...resides in spine.
the spine...is where chakras reside...
i am no expert...i would recommend...that much reading be done about chakras...especially...eastern philosphies....or something George and Geoff recommend.
(((Hugs)))

Thank you for the additional info Blue!!!
I went hunting around the board for something and ran into this...I'm primarily posting it as a reminder to myself...I have the ego pretty well in check...but there are a couple items on this list that could use some work.

LOVE!!!!" One day my soul just opened up" by Iyanla Vanzant. - 40 days and 40 nights toward spiritual strength and personal growth -
Here is a quote from the book:
" This book is dedicated to Ego,
that part of us that continues to worry,
lives in doubt,
is afraid,
judges other people,
is afraid to trust.
needs proof,
belives only when it is convenient.
fails to follow up,
refuses to practice what it preaches.
needs to be rescued.
wants to be a victim,
beats up on "self",
needs to be right all of the time, and continues
to hold on to what does not work.
You are now put on notice that...
YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!"
Maybe you can find the book in a store , take a look at it and see if it talks to you.
Namaste, Lily
Sammy

Hi all,
It's whatever works, right?
When I want to be more grounded, I work from the top chakra down. When I want to be open and head more toward the astral, I do from the base up. Many times during the day I find myself doing a quick little top/down session so I can focus on my work a little more.
One other thing...I tend to think of a pipe going from the top of my head through the center of my body...through each chakra. The pipe is about 4 inches in diameter. If my chakra is too closed, I picture it opening to that 4 inch space. If too open, I close it to that. Works for me!
Much love to you,
Rebecca

Thanks Sammy for bringing this up, very interesting, as i have a few problems with blocked chakras, my heart chakra is very active, so open and sensitive that i often get startled too easily and feel too much, but my other chakras are blocked, i think in the navel area...
Thanks Rebecca it really works for me, that excercise, already i can feel the energy flowing more easily... .. thanks very useful
((((((love)))))

Re: Feeling Blocked
to help unblock...and open chakras.
bring in...gold light...
imagine...a gold light entering the crown chakra...
bring the light down...spine...
down..through the chakras...cleansing every one on the way 'down'...
go at the speed you feel necessary...the more time spent, the cleaner. if in hurry tho....a quick dusting is always good too !
then...bring the light up....
exit...through the crown...
imagine the light...going back to Creator...

Re: Feeling Blocked
Ya know...
I had a period of several months (a year or 2 ago) where I was able to maintain perfect balance and keep my chakras open. Somewhere along the line stress (even stupid little teeny tiny stress) took them over. I really need to focus on this many times daily. I like how I felt back then.
Gonna try your trick!
LOVE!!!!

Re: Feeling Blocked
Hi guys
I have some reading to do apparently, i do not know a thing about chakras but would like to, is there a good website i should know about?
Sammy, how do you know when you have been successful with opening your chakras?
Love
Star

Now i know the answer to the question:
Do dreams come true?
Still staring at the world
Through my rear view.

Re: Feeling Blocked
HI Star - as far as a web site, I don't have a "favorite", a google search for the topic should bring you some decent info.
And a BIG thank you for asking. I've been pretty busy and stressed the last couple days. Today I was waiting in my car for my son to come out of school, trying to open and balance my chakras...but I kept (hitting a brick wall). In answering your question I must have finally accomplished it because I FEEL GOOD (na-na-na-na-na) I knew that I would (na-na-na-na-na)
I FEEL nice
Like sugar and spice....
LOVE!!!!
Hmmm...let's see...I guess I feel full of love and that love flows freely out of me, relaxed but not tired. It is really very similar in feeling to how you feel after George walks you through the relaxation technique on the AC CD.Sammy, how do you know when you have been successful with opening your chakras?

Re: Feeling Blocked
Sammy, I think having teenagers can be a major cause of "blockage"!!!!!! I have a 13-year old girl (help!!!) and a 15-year old son....they're really good kids, and I'm still stressed!!!!

Re: Feeling Blocked
eh-yep!
When I was really well balanced a year or so ago, I could maintain it and it seemed to pass along to him. They say the entire family's mood reflects mom's mood - and although their mood DEFINITELY affects our mood, if we can balance, it will be easier for them to balance. (my goal!)
