Good Tuesday afternoon, Friends! Arthur and Sandye here. Today’s Crystal of the Day is Peridot. A powerful and very useful crystal that is worthy of the spotlight.
Tomorrow, we will highlight another gemstone/crystal here. Until then, please be safe and continue striving towards “The Light”.
Of Our Seven Major Chakras & Reiki*
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Good Thursday afternoon, Enlightened Ones. Arthur here.
I got the idea to post this Blog today after sharing Reiki with Sandye long distance last night. It was a Reiki Treatment that we both needed – and it totally renewed and restored us both back to our optimal levels of wellness.
So, let’s discuss…
OF OUR SEVEN MAJOR CHAKRAS & REIKI
The Major Chakras are the seven brightly colored Energy Centers/Magnetic Vortexes – are our intake centers for the Universal Life Force Energy we have flowing within and without us. The energy taken in goes to the organs closest to that chakra. The energy is very important for the proper functioning of organs. If a chakra stops functioning, the intake of energy will be disturbed and so will the organs in the immediate area. If this dysfunctional state persists for an extended period of time, that particular part of the body will weaken. Then, disease will occur. Reiki works through the chakras to balance the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional bodies.
The ability to channel Reiki is acquired when it is transferred to the Student through what is called an Attunement process that is part of every Reiki course. The ability to call upon Reiki energy is yours for as long as you live after the attunement process, it doesn’t wear off or wear out (provided your gift to channel Reiki is never used for any purpose that is not of/for the Greatest Good).
The attunement process creates a Reiki channel through which Reiki can flow. When one simply thinks of giving Reiki healing it will be activated. The reiki energy will then be drawn into the crown chakra and from there will flow through the chakras and then down each arm streaming out through the palm chakras.
The Root chakra (red color) is located between the legs positioned downward toward the ground. It is related to our will to live. It supplies energy to our spinal column, adrenals and kidneys.
The Sacral chakra (orange color) is located just above the pubic bone and has entrances both in the front and back of body. It is related to our sexuality. This chakra supplies our sexual organs and immune system.
The Solar Plexus chakra (yellow color) is located in the midsection and has entrances in both front and back of body. This chakra is related to our intuition, who we are in The Universe, how we connect to others and how we take care of ourselves. It supplies stomach, liver, gall bladder, spleen and nervous system with energy.
The Heart chakra (primary color: green; secondary color: pink) is located in our chest cavity. This chakra is related to love and will and opens in both the front and back of body. Through it we sense love. The front is related to love and the back chakra to will. It brings energy to the heart, circulatory system, and upper back.
The Throat chakra (blue color) is located in the throat area and has openings in both the front and back of body. This particular chakra is associated with our sense of hearing, smell, taste. Supplies energy to bronchi, lungs. It is related to giving and receiving and telling our truth.
The Brow or Third Eye chakra (violet color) located in front and back around the forehead. This chakra supplies energy to the lower brain, pituitary, eye, ears, nose and the central nervous system. It is related to conceptual understanding and aids in carrying our ideas in a protocal in order for us go about accomplishing them.
The Crown Chakra (white and/or purple in color) is located at the top of the head (crown) radiating outward to the sky. This Chakra supplies energy to our upper brain and the eye. It is how we get our “direct knowing” and integrating ourselves with spirituality.
Generally speaking, the Front chakras are said to do with the function of our emotions, while the chakras in the back of our body corelate to our freewill. The Chakras located in our head are directly connected to our reasoning functions. Any disruption and blocks disrupts our energy and causes illness… or “dis-ease”.
Reiki is a amazing system of healing which can greatly increase the energy flowing into our Chakras; which can greatly benefit our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional bodies in many ways. If you have never experienced a Reiki treatment (in person or long-distance), I highly recommend it to you. You’ll be thrilled that you did.
See you tomorrow, Brothers and Sisters In Light!
The Layers/Bodies of The Aura*
Friday, June 12th, 2009Good Thursday evening, Brothers and Sisters In Light! Arthur here. It’s been a wonderful day today… filled with Beautiful Visitors, Friends, and Family. I am feeling so blessed right now, I have no words to properly describe my bliss. I AM happy. Sandye is happy. All is right in The World! I do hope your day has been a smashing one, also.
Today’s Blog will be discussing the Aura/Auric Fields. Increasingly, people are talking about and studying and showing significant interest in the Aura. So here we are. With no further ado, let’s examine the eight (8) aspects of the Aura around a Human’s body:
The Layers/Bodies of The Aura
The Physical body is the most tangible manifestation of our consciousness. Its function is to be here and now, to be conscious of what we do: walking when walking, eating when eating, etc. We are well-aware know the fears of the physical body – sickness, aging and death.
The Etheric body is a thin invisible layer, approximately 2cm thick, around the physical body. This is where the energy is reflected when it flows through meridians and chakras. The Etheric body or double acts as a template for the physical body and appears as an energy matrix. It is described in Chinese medicine as meridians that transmit chi (ki) through the body. Consciousness is expressed in terms of sensations like physical pleasure or pain. Many of our dreams can be found in the Etheric body. With the aid of mantras, symbols, essence, etc., one can affect the function of this part of the aura. The Etheric body is connected to the Root chakra.
The third body is the Emotional body. The emotional body is egg-shaped and contains both the Physical and Etheric bodies. This body reflects the feelings and emotions we have. Emotions like happiness, hope, love, anger, sorrow, hate are all found here. The emotional body is also connected to our past – which can cause problems. The body is laced with wishes and desires from the past. It is important to learn how to handle different emotions during a day; otherwise, there is a risk that they could become suppressed and stored in the emotional body. If that happens, they could later become the cause of blockages and disturbances leading to medical problems. The Emotional body is connected to the Navel chakra.
The Mental body’s function is to teach us self knowledge. The mental body, as its name implies, reflects the conscious mind, logic, intellect and active thinking. We shape our reality with our minds. Our mind is the constructor or the builder. It reflects our ability through which we develop our learning capabilities and ourpersonality. Mental health/mental illness is reflected in this level. The Mental body is connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra.
The Astral body represents unconditional love. It is connected to the Heart chakra. The astral aura is the bridge between the physical world and the spiritual realm.
The Etheric Template body (Divine Will) can be identified with memory and our thought processes. All of our memories – forgotten, remembered or pushed away – are mirrored. The Etheric Template also stores the present and all the possible futures. The Etheric Template body is connected to the Throat chakra.
The Celestial body mirrors the subconscious mind that is a part of the inactive part of an Individual’s brain. By listening to your subconscious, your intuition, you can make your journey through life more simple and rewarding. Consciousness expresses itself as higher feelings like universal love; love that goes beyond human beings and friends into a universal love for all life. The Celestial body is connected to the Third Eye chakra.
The Causal body (Ketheric Template) is the last body. The energies in this body spin with a very high frequency. This is where the soul communicates with the conscious mind via the subconscious mind in the mental body. Consciousness is expressed in higher concepts of knowing or belief systems. This is where the initial creative impulse begins; not just linear knowing, but integrated knowing. The Causal body is connected to the Crown chakra.
