Chakras & EMBRACING MORE
For the most part, when I mention the word chakra, most people, if they’ve even heard of chakras, have it filed under a vague heading like, All That Spiritual Stuff. And it is true, chakras form the basis of the human energy system — the one that powers all the other bodily systems that are so handily broken down in medical school curricula.
As part of my one-woman campaign to spread this vital information, 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?
If my counseling practice of over forty years is any indication, we actually don’t know what they mean. Or, we can’t articulate it. They’re in that same mental folder Spiritual Stuff.
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.
Today’s Chakra Vocabulary Word is EMBRACING MORE.
Embrace more means be willing to have new experiences even if they include people and things you don’t know.
Everyone is a beginner sometimes.
How do we forget this so easily?!
In fact, I would submit to you that allowing yourself to be a constant beginner is one of the many ways to stay vitally interested in life and therefore vitally alive.
Focus on the big picture and let the feeling saturate you. Who knows? You might feel embraced as well.
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 week.
