Choice Making
People in relationships… Half are in the heart camp of everything is wonderful. Half are in the gut camp of just the facts. Very few are balanced in a relationship, especially a new one. Very true. There are a few who make it to very mature relationships who are balanced. The balance is the secret…

Heart Balance
Is there a difference between a panic attack and an attack of emotion? Yes. The attack of emotion is worse. A panic attack is situational. Even if it’s mal-adaptive, it’s still environmentally anchored. Emotion attacks tend to be more chronic and more pervasive. They leave more serious scars. Like my breathing feels out of control…

One Love
At this point in the series on Spiritual and Psychic Health, we are in a good place for a recap. We have covered the root chakra, the seat of the undiluted life force. We have covered the sacral chakra, the point of first awareness, feeling based awareness. We have covered the solar chakra, the decision…

Heart Felt
Perhaps a question. What is devotion? Heart felt commitment. Devotion could be strengthened by the chakras, but it’s not an expression of them. This is true. It’s sensed in them, but does not have them for its source. The chakras are just relay centers for our higher state of existence. The chakras are sort of…

Book Of Life
The heart is the book of life, pretty much synonymous with what some call the akashic record. It’s at this level that we have our first real experience of full memory. Isn’t the akashic record really an expression of the collective unconscious? It’s the heart of all of us, not just one person. Indeed. In…

Rule Of The Heart
How do you mend a broken heart? The heart never breaks. What needs mending is the perception of a broken or breakable world. When the heart is shut out by what we perceive to be some part of our world splitting, the perception of division, then we close off that aspect of the mind that…

Take The Heart To The Root
Can the heart be conditioned? I find when I drink wine, then my heart opens up and I am more accepting and loving. The heart cannot be conditioned. But the will and the senses can be, and they can become quite rigid and noisy. The will can seem to relax when we partake of something…

Experience Of Devotion

Translator Of Everything
Today we are talking about the fifth chakra in the series on Spiritual and Psychic Health. The throat which includes the neck as well, and is all about communication. It’s a more pervasive center than it might seem, because much of our thought and even our action is structured at this level. It is sort…

Reality Models
For most purposes there is no such thing as reality, not as far as anyone can effectively define it. But there is the virtual reality and the value of reality models is based on functionality. How well does your model of reality empower you to deal with things that occur in your life? Manage, not…

Open Throat
The throat chakra, or communication center, serves as the bridge and control switch between the heart and the head. Think of it as the telephone operator between your thinking and feeling consciousness. For some people, the control of this call center is outsourced which has a lot of possible complications related to it. For others,…

Say What You Say
If you are having a problem with the throat chakra, you often won’t notice it. This chakra, and those above it, tend to be projected out onto our experience. But the health impact is greater because of that. The communication center has as much impact on every other aspect of your health as your heart…

Blend of Heart And Head
Song lyrics and poems are often a good blend of heart and head. Yes, and we perceive this person to sing well even when their voice is somewhat strange and even mildly irritating. What about singing without words? That is in many ways the most expressive. Your brain has two broad channels. Two general domains…

Stop Censoring
The term stupid originally meant to be mute or incapable of speech. Deaf, dumb, and blind. Dumb = mute. Yes. So the dumb thing to say is the thing you censored. You won’t run off at the mouth if you stop censoring. Your voice doesn’t speak on it’s own. You can and will get tired…

Integrative Function
Today we are talking about what is commonly called the third eye. Though the ajna chakra itself includes the entire frontal lobe and is the seat of consciousness as we know it normally, the fundamental understanding to be had about the third eye is this. Thought is not self awareness. It’s not consciousness. It’s a…

Third Eye Training
You don’t need to be psychic to have an active third eye. In fact, everyone’s third eye is really very active. Perhaps the primary function it fills in most people is the projection of their perceptual filters onto their outside experience. It’s not only the reason you notice things, but it is also the reason…
-
Basis Of Knowing
What does the third eye enable you to see exactly? Is it like a door to another dimension? Good question. Actually, the third eye just sees more deeply into reality around us. We train our perception to eliminate a lot of what we sense early on. We get into patterns of strained focus that in…

Inner Eye Sight
Much of what we are now discovering is factual, and even material data was originally intuited far earlier. I will ask, how was this possible? They had more developed third eyes? They were less confined by logic? They favoured two states of cognition. It showed up strongly in their habits. The first being gamma wave…
