Chakra Balancing Traditionally, there are seven major chakras associated with the physical body.  They are aligned with the spine and located in the base of the spine, the lower abdomen (sacral), the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the centre of the forehead (third eye), and the crown of the head.   When our chakras are blocked, or not in balance, the free flow of energy is impeded, leading to physical, emotional, mental or spiritual dis-ease.  When the

I've been thinking about how much I accept about myself nowadays and remembered the time that I finally learnt that my height - or rather the lack of it - used to cause me quite a bit of anguish. A few years ago, I was given this lesson in self-acceptance.  I had thought I was fully there, but a high-heeled gold sandal was to show me more..... I had a family wedding to go to and for weeks beforehand, I had narrowed my outfit choices to two dresses.  I knew exactly which

It was my birthday last week and and I was reminded of something that happened around my birthday a few years ago. My family had been asking what I wanted for a present.  While I do generally love a nicely thought out gift, I really couldn't think of anything I wanted that could be purchased.  What I really wanted was "Time" to go away on a couple of meditation-type retreats, or something similar.  I'm perfectly happy to pay for these things myself,

I'm a sucker for chocolate - the darker the better as far as I'm concerned.  At this time of year I get festive in my kitchen creating new chocolate temptations for gifts and for hiding at the back of the fridge for me to pick at when I feel the need!

Some time ago, I discovered some gorgeous hematite arrow gemstone beads.  I did make a couple of bracelets at the time, but for some reason these lovely arrow shaped beads got lost amongst the rest of my hematite collection.  I always get excited when I discover new unusually shaped gemstones in bead form, and rediscovering these hematite arrows was just as wonderful as it was the first time ...... actually, it was even better, because this time I already had them in my

Balance ..... it is such an important aspect to life.  When we have things in balance, we have more energy and our lives become more joyful and loving. Two little words, "Yes" and "No" .....  Think of these as weights on a set of scales and see how you can adjust them to keep them evenly balanced. "Yes":  By definition, this is one of the easiest words to express.  It is positive, helpful and agreeable. "No":  This

Are you disappointed when things don't work out even when you've been thinking that they probably wouldn't work out in the first place?  Why be disappointed when the outcome is what you believed it to be?  Surely you should be pleased that your belief turned out to be correct! Try turning that around.  Have the belief that what you want will work out just the way you want it to.  Feel just how pleased you will be when you get the outcome you believe in this
