Learn about the Sacral Chakra

The Sacral is our energy center where our personal passion for life is stored. In this center, all of our relationships, external to ourselves, are expressed. It's in this Chakra that all the passion a person has for life originates; passion for their career, their interests, the roles they play in life (mother, daughter, sister, friend, lover, employee, etc..), and the interpretation of love they receive from others - platonic or romantic.

This is the center where we experience balance or imbalance in sexual relationships, in how we express and receive love for our children or others, or in how we experience and express ourselves in our hobbies, interests, and career.

The Solar Plexus Chakra

The third chakra known as the Solar Plexus or in Sanskrit, Manipura (jeweled city, shining gem), projects your will and drive. It can sometimes show up as the spark that pushes you to reach the next level of something. It can also manifest as the sinking feeling in your gut when you make a “mistake”, tell a lie, or give away your right to choose or decide something for yourself..

The Solar Plexus is the home to your inner fire, your personal power, it represents your alignment with what your inner self knows is for your highest good. It is also where your ego lives.

  • How well do you know yourself?

  • How bad do you want something?

  • Can you discern between standing in your power and giving in to the EGO’s agenda?

The Solar Plexus is a vital source of power for all humans. It’s in this energy center that you will find your get up and go and drive to keep going or depending on the health of this power center, you may well be left with little or no incentive to do anything. You can feel on fire with and experience endless energy or be exhausted with digestion problems.

The Heart Chakra

Just about everyone is aware of the heart chakra at the center of your chest or has heard the term “heart center.” If you put your hands together, as if in prayer, and bring them to your chest that is just about where your heart chakra is located. The color of this chakra is green, and it houses much more than love. Your sense of empathy, compassion, nurturing, connection, and forgiveness is tied to this Chakra.

What is a “Dark Night of the Soul”?

People talk about this phenomenon all the time, but what does it really mean, and how do you know you are experiencing it?

I believe everyone experiences their “Dark Night (or month) of the Soul” differently, but the outcome is most often the same; a deep sense of clarity and a pervasive truth that you can’t ever forget. The “Dark Night” brings about a new way of seeing your life that you simply could not have seen before it happened.

Practicing Hoʻoponopono

Practicing Hoʻoponopono

Have you ever heard of Hoʻoponopono? According to Wikipedia, Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Ancient Hawaiian lore tells us that Ho’oponopono is a traditional practice used to heal oneself through atoning for the wrongs you committed. “Forgiveness was sought from the gods or from the person with whom there was a dispute.”

When you look up the term Ho’oponopono you’ll see many references to a man named Dr. Len. He is a master teacher of the ancient Hawaiian practice. It’s told that he cured an entire hospital of criminally insane inmates by practicing Ho’oponopono over a four year period. He healed them using a technique called Self IDentity Through Ho’oponopono (SITH). It’s a pretty remarkable story.

Finding our Shadow in our Partners...

Finding our Shadow in our Partners...

“Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic feature of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.” - Carl Jung

We are who we are at birth based on our energy at that moment in time (time, place and date) and one of the ways this will continually play itself out is as our personal shadow complexes.

Our complexes (strongly emotional charges of energy that activate autonomously both positive and negative) in the psyches of everyone is a concept of Carl G. Jung.

So, our shadow self is everything about us that is unconscious, unacknowledged, undeveloped and denied. Let’s take each one of these words separately as to why these complexes are created in the first place and why it behooves us to continue to do inner work and come to know ourselves.

Conscious Relationships in the Aquarian Age

Conscious Relationships in the Aquarian Age

Many of us marry when we are in a state of romantic euphoria.

This surge of energy we feel around a particular person is that an unknown aspect of ourselves has been projected onto them. This is what generates the remarkable “spark” that gets ignited.

The intensity and intoxication we feel are clues that this transference of our own energy has occurred. Because it’s unconscious, we think we are relating to them.

Dr. Carl Jung, world renown psychiatrist explained that what is missing in us will be highly attractive when we see it in someone else and relating is how we get to know ourselves.

We all mistakenly believe we know ourselves but what we know is only what we are conscious of which is like the tip of an iceberg. No one knows their whole self. It really is a life-long process to bring unconscious contents to consciousness.

Best Friends, Not Fantasies

As humans, when it comes to our relationships, most of us have had painful and difficult experiences. And let's face it, most times, it looks like the problems and struggles are the other person’s fault, or maybe just bad luck in love or life, or whatever else we want to call it!

But did you know that oftentimes, the most intense and troublesome relationships we experience, usually have a lot more to do with what is inside us, instead of the “other”?

Shadow work offers us the opportunity to see this…

To begin the process of cutting through the illusion most every human encounters...
