I have found that there is only one thing that heals every problem, and that is: truly loving yourself. When people start to love themselves more each day, it’s amazing how their lives get better. They feel better. They get the jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either improve, or the negative ones dissolve and new ones begin. Loving yourself is a wonderful adventure; it’s like learning to fly. Imagine if we all had the power to fly at will? How exciting it would be! Let’s begin to love ourselves now. Here are 10 Commandments by Louise Hay to help you learn how to truly love yourself. Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 10, and see which affirmation...
Over the last two weeks, we've been exploring our Chakras, and how to balance them using meditation and creative visualisation, and also essential oils. This week, we’re going to explore a third way of balancing our chakras, and that’s using specific yoga poses. Because yoga is not an area of specialty for me, today's blog is brought to you by the beautiful Sophie Stokes, a yoga and fitness instructor based on the Gold Coast. A well-rounded Chakra yoga practice is specifically aimed at unblocking the Chakras so that the energy, i.e. your prana, can move freely through the body. This practice can include: Specific Asanas (ie. body poses)Pranayama (ie. breathing practices)Mudra (ie. special hand positions), andMeditation (ie. mind and consciousness training)...
Last week, we spoke about what the Chakras are, and how to balance them using meditation and creative visualisation. This week, we’re going to explore another excellent way of balancing our chakras, and that’s using essential oils... 2. Balancing the Chakras with Essential Oils But wait – did I just say “balancing chakras with essential oils?” How can essential oils do that? Aren’t they just this pretty smell that comes from parts of plants, that are used to make homes smell nice? Well – sure – that’s a very basic way of looking at essential oils. But oils are far from basic. Essential Oils are incredibly sophisticated natural compounds, containing hundreds if not thousands of natural plant chemicals in perfect...
Our body is so much more than a physical, mental and emotional Being. It’s also contains subtle energies that we’ve known about for thousands of years, yet still barely understand. Our chakras are part of this subtle energy system. The word Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or cycle. This makes sense when we understand that the chakras are spinning wheels of light that reflect various energy centres or vortexes in our body. In short, they occur where we have a complex intersection of energy meridians. Whether the chakras feed the meridians or the meridians feed the chakras is not fully understood. But suffice to say that the chakras, although subtle and not “felt” in the way that we...
What if we were given lessons on how to live? Lessons from someone who has seen the highs and lows of life, from someone who has gained love and lost love... From someone who could share the best of their learning, from all of their lived experiences? Today’s inspirational sayings are taken from ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom. As the cover of this book rightly states, Tuesdays With Morrie is ‘the story of an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson’. The book is a magical chronicle of the author’s life-changing conversations with his old University Professor, Morrie. In the last month's of Morrie’s life, the two men spent sixteen Tuesdays together, exploring many fundamental issues; from...
