Practical Wisdom

  One of the interesting things about our times that people are living longer than ever, so you would think there's more practical wisdom to pass around. But I feel like we're going the opposite direction by getting more entrenched in consumerist culture. It's unfortunate that with our increasingly aging population, we are not taking advantage of improved life strategies. Our culture is so sedated by media imagery that the elderly don't mature fast enough, they regurgitate some ideology, or succumb to arguing on the internet, or get ignored if they have substantial things to say. To me this is more about brainwashing than a lack of brain power. I'm not letting my kids become addicted to screens for that very reason- one among a myriad of other health benefits.

Chakra Energy Bombs

When tension builds up in our chakras, energy bombs can release them.  Each energy center has its associated pleasure that releases or absorbs blocked energy:
 
Outward flow (to release/heal other chakras).  

Think of the chakras as channels to heal others when an excess needs reconciling.  Often my crown has an excess of activity from working fast and memorizing.  To reduce tension, yawning is the most potent, for it releases that energy to other centers.  The 6 other activities can help to a lesser extent, for they take energy from the excess center to focus it in a new one.  The body needs sleep, or every energy center will become depleted from an excess of energy to the Third Eye.  Only dreaming can diffuse that energy, which is why we feel rested in the morning.  Singing and expressing are the result of “bottling up” an emotion that blocks the Throat chakra.  Crying releases the heart, relaxing us, making us feel better in general.  The body can’t survive without food and water, which is how the Solar Plexus distributes energy from being located in the stomach.  This is where we get our energy to move, total empowerment.  Orgasm is like crying because it relaxes us, this time from releasing the tension of pleasure.  The same applies to the Root, with defecation.  Below is a list of these outward forms of chakra energy release:

1. Crown- yawning2
2. Third eye- dreaming3
3. Throat- singing/expressing4
4. Heart- crying
5. Solar Plexus- eating
6. Sacral- orgasm
7. Root- defecating

 
Inward flow (to absorb/infuse a deficient chakra).  

Often my throat is deficient, so I’ll find something to laugh at.  Or my power center, the solar plexus, so I will work out.  Loneliness and hurt in the heart can be soothed by touch and warmth.  Boredom means the crown is deficient; it can be healed by things that make us think, such as reading and music.  A deficiency in the Root makes us feel ungrounded or lazy.  Only work, duty, and chores can restore the imbalance there.  When we struggle to feel sensation, the Sacral chakra suffers from lack of stimulation. Below is a list of inward forms of chakra energy release:

1. Crown- music/reading
2. Third eye- creating/daydreaming
3. Throat- laughing
4. Heart- touch/warmth
5. Solar Plexus- exercise
6. Sacral- stimulation
7. Root- work
