Chakras & criticize less / CELEBRATE MORE

As part of my one-woman campaign to spread this vital information about the human energy system, I created a Compendium of information on the chakra system. You will never find it in a bookstore or online, but you can, for a donation, request a copy here.

As part of that process, I realized that I used all sorts of words like spirit, soul, archetype, incarnation that most of us assume we understand. But do we really? We don’t. Not really.

So I created The Unapologetically Eccentric Glossary. Here’s part of the introduction …

These are definitions that I have developed over 40 years of practice with actual persons and their struggles. They are things I say aloud to clients/patients to make sure we’re on the same page. What’s important, though, is not that you agree with my definitions. What’s important is that you give some serious thought to these sorts of words, figure out what you believe about them, and are able to articulate them clearly to yourself or to persons who come to you for care.

So just as it is supremely important to remember that the chakras are best considered as a system, and are meant, at all times, to work together, it is also incumbent upon each one of us to learn and know the vocabulary that best fits our belief systems.

For the next few weeks, I’ll be putting together all these definitions for each chakra. It’s important to see how these pairs work together, mostly because humans are very bad at not doing things.

That’s why the less/MORES have two sides: something to stop, and something to start which replaces whatever you’re stopping.

Today’s Chakra Vocabulary Word is criticize less/CELEBRATE MORE.

Criticize less means you’re using your voice to find fault.

Why?

Often we do this to build up ourselves at the expense of others.

In a sense, this sort of behavior is a form of scarcity consciousness on the order of: if I praise you, there won’t be enough left for me.

Really?

How about all those camps and after-school programs that find a way to give ALL the kids ribbons and not just the winners?

Focus instead on looking for one thing you like about what is in front of you. Opinions are cheap, and we all have them. Use yours for good.

CELEBRATE MORE means you can still be discerning, and you get to choose how much you say about any given thing.

Even if you don’t enjoy something, you can still celebrate the joy of the doer in the doing of it.

No one starts out as Rembrandt. Not even Rembrandt.

I am acquainted with an artist who went through life criticizing the work of other artists severely. When he figured out that he wanted praise for his work, he started praising the work of others, and everything changed. Just sayin’

Working at the level of energy is so much more efficient than working from outside in. When you source the energetic cause behind whatever is showing up in your life, and change that, the outer form will change. No exceptions.

Keep looking. Keep listening. Keep asking. All, all, all shall be revealed.

Blessèd weekend.
