Digg it UP - The Chakra Centers And The Capacity Of Activating Them-Part 2
Many people associate a panic attack and public speaking. They usually have had an anxiety-producing public speaking experience. They may test that past memory of public speaking again, but often the same anxiety reaction results. People who have to speak publicly on a frequent basis and suffer from panic attacks are always searching for a panic attack remedy.Amber's StoryAmber had many risk factors for panic attacks when she entered high school. Her mother had a history of anxiety as well as her older brother. Amber was successfully able to avoid a speech class until her final semester of school. In order to graduate, she was going to have to take speech.Although she had never received a diagnosis of panic attacks or an anxiety disorder, Amber had always dreaded taking a public speaking class. Just the idea of standing up in front of a class of her peers caused Amber to feel dizzy and nauseous.When Amber walked into her first day of class, the teacher could see how nervous she was. He came up to Amber after class and discussed her obvious discomfort with this public speaking class. Amber discussed her physical reaction to having to speak in front of her peers. She explained to her teacher how she was:* Extremely Anxious* Dizzy* Nauseous* Short of BreathAmber's teacher recommended that she visit with the school counselor before their next class meeting. Amber was embarrassed by her reaction and was even more anxious about having to meet with the school counselor, but she knew that she was not going to be able to graduate if she could not figure out some way to get through this class.The school counselor was very familiar with the signs of a panic attack and especially with students feeling uncomfortable about
“The 7 Pranas (vital force) were produced from it. The 7 flames of fire, 7 types of wood, 7 Yajnas and 7 Lokas manifested from God.”
-MUNDAKOPANISHAD (2/1/8)
“You are present in the 7 worlds (Lokas) as 7 divine energies and you control all of them: 1. Bhulok as earth 2. Bhuvaloka as wind 3. Savahaloka as ball of light 4. Mahahaloka as great attainment (Sidhi) 5. Janahaloka as procreation power 6. Tapahaloka as skill of austerities 7. Satyaloka as truthful speech.”

Within our body there are so many sources of energy akin to these 7 Chakras (subtle plexuses). They are called glands. In the brain lies the Vishnu gland, in the heart is the Brahma gland and in the navel, the Rudra gland. Even regarding this there are differences of opinions because some opine that the Vishnu gland is in the brain. But we must not get entangled with these names. Instead we should understand that not only in the Merudand (spine) but in the head, heart and navel region there are so many i
While we all admit that unsolicited commercial email is a real pain, I sometimes wonder if the anti-spam zealots are going too far. Last week I was in Costa Rica, and the only practical way to communicate home was by email. I maintain an AOL account just for that purpose when traveling, and was amazed to find out when I got home, that I only received about half of the email which was sent - some of which was important.Many ISP's (Internet Service Providers) including AOL, have installed content filters which automatically relegate anything "they think" is spam to trash, and the message never gets delivered to the intended recipient, nor is the person sending it notified it wasn’t delivered.The problem is that there is no personal judgment at the level of the ISP to determine if a note is spam or not. They have installed content filters that "dump" any email that happens to match the keywords they have installed. How dare they determine what I should receive or not receive. Because a word in the note (or the length of the note) met their reject parameters, they will not deliver it? This is wrong!Shame on them! I don't know about you, but I don't want my ISP acting like "big brother" on my behalf, and determining what I should read and what I shouldn't.I do agree that spam is not only a nuisance, but is a daily problem that takes my time to sort through and get rid of the "junk" I didn't ask for, and don't want to get. But let me make that determination. I can set up filters that automatically deletes email I don't wish to get myself. I don't need, nor do I want someone else making that decision on my behalf.It has been reported to me that some ISPs are blocking newsletters that people have asked to receive. Some investigation turned up tha
A description of energies and forms associated with each Chakra can be found in many scriptures pertaining to spiritual practices. No doubt some differences are there yet briefly following is the information commonly given by all –
1. MOOLADHAR – Earth element, yellow color, smell Tanmatra, sound Lum, Bhu Loka, situated in the center of the opening of excretory organs.
2. SVADHISHTHAN – Water element, white color, taste Tanmatra, sound Vum, Bhuvaha Loka, situated below the navel.

With which material centers, energies etc. can the energy sources of these 7 Chakras be compared? As an answer a symbolic description is given in various spiritual practices based texts as follows –
“All the pilgrim spots of earth dwell in the Mooladhar Chakra. One who bathes in this region attains Moksha or salvation.”
- MAHAYOG VIJNAN
“The heavenly pilgrim spot is situated in the Svadhishthan Chakra. Great Yogis bathe in the divine River Ganges flowing in this region. The Manipur Chakra is a divine pilgrim center and there are 5 ponds in it. Over there is the pilgrim spot of desires. All the contemporary pilgrim centers of the solar system are present in the Anahat Chakra. Those who bathe in these centers attain credentials so as to enter higher sacred Lokas (worlds).
- MAHAYOG VIJNAN
“The Mooladahr Chakra is Bhuloka, Svadhishthan Chakra is Bhuvaloka, Manipur Chakra is Mahaloka, Vishudhi Chakra is Janaloka, Ajna Chakra is Tapaloka and Sahasrar Chakra is Satyalokaa. Thus at the region below there are 7 nether worlds (Patalaloka). The base of the feet is Talaloka, the upper half of the feet is Talatalaloka, the center of the ankle bone is Mahatalaloka, the upper part of the ankle bone is Rasatala, the center of the thighs is Vitalaloka and the center of the groin is Patalaloka. Thus below the waist are 7 worlds and above the waist are 7 worlds. These add up to totally 14 worlds (Lokas) in our body. He, who visualizes these worlds in his body via spiritual practice, overcomes all pain and strife.”
- MAHAYOG VIJNAN
“In this body the 7 continents, all rivers, ocean, mountains, regions, doorkeepers of regions, Rishi-Munis, galaxies, planets, altars, demigods of altars, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, sun, moon, space, wind, fire, water, earth, all creatures and whatever else present in this world are attached to this Sumeru (situated in the Divine Serpent Power or Merudand) and they all carry out their respective functions. He who knows this is a true Yogi.”
- MAHAYOG VIJNAN
From the above proclamation it is very clear that the human body is not merely a mass of 70 constituents (e.g. blood, flesh etc.) or biochemical (e.g. fat, carbohydrates etc.). It is made up of not only 1) juices 2) blood 3) flesh 4) muscle 5) bones 6) fat 7) sperm but that deep within lies a divine principle. All the above 7 constituents are influenced by the 7 Chakras and our body unknowingly remains healthy or unhealthy due to this influence. If the state of the secret inner recesses of the soul related to the 7 Chakras, remain balanced it can give us a healthy, long life span. Thus a healthy, long life span is not just dependent on proper food intake and exercises. It is a fact that despite eating proper food and exercising regularly, if our inner secret regions are not optimally balanced, it will make our body unhealthy and can lead to premature death too. The same holds true for our mental center. These 7 Chakras influence various levels of consciousness and the annihilation of the conscious and unconscious mind can be converted to uplifting of pure consciousness (soul). Spiritual practice based scriptures speak of attainment of Ridhi-Sidhis i.e. divine glories. But one can attain even greater benefits both materially and spiritually if one makes apt use of the storehouse of infinite energy present in our inner soul via scientific spiritual practices.
Life is a Yajna (sacred sacrifice). It is not merely as though offering worship materials to sacred fire is called Yajna. According to the level of the micro body and macro cosmos many small/big subtle Yajnas take place. The 7 Chakras are 7 sacrificial pyres of Yajnas. In the Yajna of Sadhana (spiritual practices) you have 7 fires, Purhoit of 7 Rishis, 7 demigods invoked, 7 Charas and the 7 results. This Yajna is executed via activation of the 7 Chakras within the jurisdiction of Kundalini Science.

Of late, so many women have started exclaiming, “I love bad men!” Most women are fully aware of the fact that bad men are usually, cocky, arrogant and commitment-phobic. They know that a man who is acting like a loose canon and blustering his masculinity at their face will tap dance away, the moment his physical as well as emotional needs are satiated, yet they readily invest their emotions and time in such men. Moreover, they do not suffer from any suicidal tendencies after a guaranteed heartbreak and misery.As more and more women are embittered by “I love bad men” syndrome, an impinging question that arises at this point is, “What are the reasons behind this “I love bad men” syndrome?” Let’s try to scoop out answers for this question.Social psychiatrists state that women are attracted to bad men out of their deep desire to make the evil good. They feel that they have the ability to change a bad man and their success reassures them that their love is important enough for someone to change. Typically, such women suffer from low self-esteem and when a man showers attention and love on them, they feel secure. Security and a sense of gratitude compel them to say, “I love bad men!”Bad men are known to play “mind games” and “I love bad men” is one such game. A bad man normally embarks on by convincing the woman that something is wrong with her. She soon begins to think that she is good for nothing and her man knows the best. As the bad man becomes overly possessive about his woman, rules every move she makes, she feels cared for and loved. He corrodes her self-esteem to such an extent that she becomes a shadow of her former self.“I love bad men” syndrome usually infects a woman with dependent personality. Such women are habitual to domination and love domin

All day I have been thinking about what it means to be a follower of Christ. Does it mean that I dress up and goto a building with other dressed up folks? Does it mean that I pray some prayer and then hope one day to end up on the “right” side of the equation? I know for sure those are not the answers, but I keep searching and wrestling with what it means for me to be a follower of Christ.In my search, I pray that God will continue to show me what it all means. Right now I get mixed messages from all kinds of sources in my life. Family, friends, and circumstances try to tell me what it means for me to be a follower of Christ.Andrew and Simon Peter, who were rejected from being a follower of a rabbi during their day, dropped everything to follow a new Rabbi, the Christ. At first, they were left to do the family trade because they did not make the cut. I wonder if they wrestled with the same question I am.What did it mean for Simon Peter(Kefa) to follow God as he threw his nets into the water everyday? As he walked home, smelling of fish, did his eyes glance up to the heavens and wonder what it was all for? I feel this longing to make my life matter more than getting married, having kids, a nice home, avoid the “big” sins, and eventually die with no hell.I want to my life to echo for God’s glory. Or atleast that is what I’m told to do.As I search, I’ve decided that my attempts are only sucessful if rooted in God’s Word. John calls that Jesus. Deuteronomy calls the Word of God what we live on.My interest in Jewish History is picking up, I’ve bought 3 books and look forward to seeing what God has for me in those. One thing I picked up was a Jewish New Testament Commentary. It’s a first for me. I do not really know how to use it, but as I rea

One of the most fun and interesting businesses you can have is to start a copywriting business. It is actually quite easy to get started if you do it right. Here are some fast-start tips that will get you profitable quickly.In order to start a copywriting business you first need clients. But if you don't have experience it is difficult to get anyone to hire you. A good place to get some practice and make a few bucks at the same time is to go to elance.com. Simply register for a membership so you can bid on jobs. When something that you think comes along, bid whatever it takes to get the assignment.If you do a good job the "employer" will give you a good rating. Once you have received a few good ratings you will be able to command a higher price for your work.The next step in starting a copywriting business is to make a move to your local area by looking in the Yellow Pages. Try to find businesses that have needs similar to the ones you serviced on elance.com. Make a phone call to find out who is in charge of their advertising.In the beginning go for smaller businesses. The problem in dealing with large companies is that you never know who the actual decision maker is. That makes it harder when you are just starting your copywriting business. In a small company the decision maker is usually either the owner or his wife. If the owner is a woman, she is probably the decision maker for advertising and budgeting.Now, this kind of work is fine if you are just getting started but you won't be making much money or having too much fun if you continue doing this for a long time. The reason for this is that small companies don't have a big budget for copywriting. In most cases they are just struggling along trying to muster up some budget fo

Provisional figures released in October by UCAS for the 2006 year intake show that 868 people enrolled in degree or degree equivalent courses in complementary medicine this year. If you add in to this figure the number of people choosing non-degree courses and entering the profession, then the number is likely to be in excess of 2,000 people this year alone. The UCAS data shows that this is up around 37% on last year and is rising at a faster rate each year.But what does the future hold for the estimated 20,000 complementary and alternative healthcare professionals in the UK?Well there are more and more people finding themselves disillusioned with traditional medicine or simply wanting to benefit from a more holistic approach to health. This of course is good news for practitioners looking to grow their business. But, operating a successful practice requires more than simply learning how to practise your new found skill, it means learning about how to run a business, how to sell and market yourself and how to manage and invest the money you make.The need for these additional skills becomes even more apparent when you consider the data from the Department of Trade and Industry regarding small business survival rates. These show that of businesses starting up in the period 1994-2003 (the latest dates available) around 10% of small businesses will not survive past their first birthday, while this figure rises to around 15% whose failure will occur before they are three years old. These figures are based on VAT registered businesses.The fact is the picture for survival rates among non-VAT registered businesses are likely to be worse. Some estimates suggest that the failure rate in smaller non-vat registered businesses is much higher, perhaps even double, m

In the brain lies the Vishnu gland, in the heart is the Brahma gland and in the navel, the Rudra gland. Even regarding this there are differences of opinions because some opine that the Vishnu gland is in the brain. But we must not get entangled with these names. Instead we should understand that not only in the Merudand (spine) but in the head, heart and navel region there are so many important energy centers (Chakras) which when activated via various methods are called Granthivedhan. Over here one more thing has to be noted that “Vedhan” means “opening” in common terms. Yet spiritually it means “activation” or “awakening.”
Just like the 6 Chakras in the Sushumna subtle nervous center situated in the back of our body, there are 6 other Chakras in the front side of the body. They are called Surya (Sun) Chakra, Agni (Fire) Chakra, Amrit (nectar of immortality) Chakra, Prabhanjan (destruction) Chakra, Tadit (lightning) Chakra and Soma (moon) Chakra.
When mountain water gets concentrated in a particular area and springs forth, it is called a spring. In the mouth source of the spring, the water speed is extremely ferocious. W hen this water rises up and falls down a lot of chaos is witnessed and everyone knows how noisy the situation is. In the same way Chakras can be compared to eddies, cyclones and a spring of water. A volcano generally emits fire, smoke, lava from its opening. In the same way Chakras too release certain emissions. People are getting ready to generate infinite electrical energy from the tumultuous waves of the ocean. Those who have the capacity to utilize the energy released by these Chakras are said to be divine men.
Endocrinologists who study various endocrine glands of the body are absolutely amazed to note that the juices secreted by the glands are so infinitesimal in terms of quantity yet they can influence our body, brain etc. on such an enormous scale. Testicles, kidneys, heart, male endocrine glands etc. can be called bigger glands. Since their activities are grosser they can be easily understood. But to unfold the mysteries of the endocrine glands is that much more difficult. Even after intricate research it is difficult to draw apt conclusions. Subtler that these are glands called Chakras (in Indian Yoga) which are beyond the ken and reach of sense organs and modern scientific apparatus like election microscopes etc. If at all one can see, understand and make apt use of these Chakras, it is only via an activated inner eye of wisdom/intuition. It is only on the basis of Subtle Spiritual Sciences like Yoga etc. can one experience and use these Chakras for one’s own self and world humanity at large.
Within Hathayoga spiritual practices, 6 Chakras have been listed situated in the Sushumna of the Merudand (Subtle spinal chord). They are 1) Mooladhar Chakra 2) Svadhishthan Chakra 3) Manipur Chakra 4) Anahat Chakra 5) Vishudh Chakra 6 ) Ajna Chakra.
Amongst these, 4 of them have been deemed as nervous network by anatomists. The Mooladhar Chakra is called Pelvic Plexus. The Manipur Chakra is called Solar Plexus. The Anahat Plexus is called Cardial Plexus and the Vishudhi Chakra is called Pharyngeal Plexus by modern anatomists. Regarding the remaining 2 Chakras i.e. Svadhishthan and Ajna, there is a bit of disparity and difference of opinion between ancient spiritual seers and modern day research. We sincerely hope that this mystery will unfold in the near future.
There is a detailed description of the 6 fold wealth which one attains on activating the 6 Chakras. These can be called spiritual attainments too.
The 6-fold wealth is 1) Shama 2) Dama 3) Uparati 4) Titiksha 5) Shraddha and 6) Samadhan.
“Shama” means overcoming mental turmoil and agitation. “Dama” means mastering the 5 sense organs (eyes, ears etc.). “Uparati” means abhorring wickedness. “Titiksha” means enduring hardships with great patience. “Shradha” encompasses steadfastness on the path of sacredness along with faith and love for it. “Samadhan” means liberation from doubts and desires.
All these are specialties of qualities, action and character. Man rises higher up the ladder of life due to great thinking and idealistic actions. Thus he attains inner contentment, zeal, respect from the external world and cooperation that a realized saint or sage attains.
Apart from this there are so many material benefits due to spiritual progress. These are called Sidhis. Soul based successes are called wealth and glories. Material progress is called high standard of living and Sidhi. Both these together can be seen as advancement of Extra Sensory Potential (ESP).
