Chakra Balancing

by Hieu Doan -

The chakras are portals or structures which help to channel and integrate subtle energies into the physical body.

The body has 7 primary chakras but over 2000 secondary ones which help to direct and hold the integrity of our 3 main elements – mind, body and spirit. 

Since the flow of this triad is always shifting, directed by our intent and consciousness, so too must the chakra system recalibrate and find new points of balance which each shift.

In other words, just as our thinking, communication, perspectives and intentions change, so do the requirements of our chakra systems.

The chakra system deals mainly with subtle energy and so for the most part this energy is able to move through subtle shifts of tension within the physical body. With enough subtle tension however, the flow of energy will slow and even stop. 

The result is that the body, mind and emotions will begin receiving less and less information. Information will result in less understanding and less understanding will lead to less ability.

Usually this does not happen in a dramatic way, it may take years, the same way that plumbing can take years to clog up and eventually block the flow of water.

Depending on which chakras are blocked or limited, the physical and mental consciousness will exhibit various manifestations. 

Blockages in the solar plexus for instance can result in a lack of will or strong intent to take action. This will be experienced in the body as a lessening of the bio-chemicals that create the sensation or emotion of will and purpose. Emotionally and mentally this will be experienced in corresponding mind states such as apathy or boredom. 

Blockages in the crown chakra will result in a disconnection from the Higher Self, as well as a difficulty connecting to the bigger picture in ones life. Just as with the solar plexus chakra, specific bio-chemicals will correspond to this particular blockage.

The link between the energy of the chakra and the bio-chemistry of the body is simply about information. There is nothing mysterious about it at all. Our whole being exists and survives because of information. 

There is information between the heart and the brain, information between organs and enzymes, hormones and blood, oxygen and lungs, as well as information from the outside world such as people, books, trees, the sun, the moon, gravity and electricity. 

Information is influence and expression, through connecting with this information a communication happens. This is the same communication that occurs between the energy of the chakras and the physical body.

The foundation ‘foot in the door’ principles to any type of chakra balancing should begin with simply spending time at the chakra location. Forget about what is written in books, references or even here for that matter. 

Nothing will compare to actual ‘sit down’ time with your own chakras.

Its like spending time with a loved one, kids, friends and so on – we can go out and seek advanced knowledge and professional advice but sometimes what is really needed is simply to spend time with them. It’s the same deal with the chakras. 

An amazing amount of communication will open up when we just listen and observe – and in this listening a great deal of balancing and integration will just happen.

The results will be seen in the way the physical body feels, the mind thinks, the emotions move and the spirit flows through us.

The Art of Understanding Energy

by Hieu Doan -

THE BREATH OF THE UNIVERSE:

The breath of universe is a consciousness that links the physical breath to the breath and pulse of the Divine.

It can be experienced in its totality when projecting the astral body into it and merging as one but for those who are not versed in astral projection it can also be used in simple meditation and is a powerful tool for unifying the mind, body and spirit with the universe.

The experience of the breath is all about perception and the senses, so it is through these senses that you observe your breath. 

Feel it, see it, hear it, taste it and smell it. 

Allow your mind to touch all these senses, yet do not become involved, simply observe objectively and watch.

Look for the subtle areas of these senses. Find the outer limits of your senses, where perception almost disappears. Hold your mind here. By holding your mind here, you stretch and expand your mind.

Observe the nature of your breath. 

Observe where it feels strong, observe where it feels subtle and released. Notice how far it travels as it leaves your body.

Notice how far it travels as it enters your body. Follow it completely to the end of its journey – then send your mind out in this direction. 

Continue to walk the journey that your breath has begun. 

How far can you go? 

Where does your mind stop? Allow this expansion to continue. Notice the walls and barriers of your perception and be at one with them.

Do not struggle – if there is resistance, be that resistance, if there is non-resistance, be that non-resistance.

Look for the spaces in between the resistance and allow your mind to melt through these spaces. 

Melt and expand. Allow the breath to dissolve you. 

Feel the pulse of the breath expanding ever outward, melting into the universe, becoming one with the universe.

Be embraced, supported and empowered by this breath. Understand the power that comes from allowing the breath of the universe to nourish you. Breath as one.

A Journey's Essense

by Hieu Doan -

All journeys require effort and energy, commitment and dedication. 

Like all journeys however, if walked long enough, experienced long enough and reflected on long enough certain wisdoms will be integrated.

• The ability to walk longer and with less energy expended. 

• The ability to be in the moment, and also outside of the moment. 

• The ability to see ahead, as well as behind. 

• The ability to understand, appreciate and experience meaning in the journey.

A journey may at times make us weary, at other times it may inspire us to great levels of energy. There may be times that we stop and in despair exclaim that we can never continue, and then in what is seemingly a new moment pledge that we will never give up.

At times it may seem as if all we have achieved amounts to nothing, at other times it seems as if with all we have achieved we should surely have reached the peak by now. 

Through it all we may at times remember to look back at the person who we are, the person that is walking, reflecting, in joy, pain, grief, anger and love. At times we may look back in gentle compassion, other times may bring regret or remorse, love and passion, wonder and confusion.

At times we may be reluctant to look back at all for fear of what we may see. At other times it may seem as if all we see, the good and the bad, clear and confusing is in perfect harmony, rolling along seamlessly like clockwork.

The truth of all journeys is revealed when we begin to look back, it is an opportunity that only exists in reflection and the fact that we do carry a past - as this past is what defines the journey.

That past, that journey is our present. 

Where we choose to direct it from here and now is made available by the extent, depth and focus of our awareness and ability to observe. 

The thing about observation as it pertains to the realm of mental and spiritual consciousness however is that there are more shapes, directions and forms than in the physical. 

While the physical is 3 dimensional, the mental exists in potentially many more dimensions. 

This reality can be experienced and witnessed simply by observing dualities and contradictions easily and cheerfully existing in our consciousness regardless of our beliefs and views on how reality should be.

Empowerment comes not from dictating how reality should be but by understanding why reality is how it is, then learning how to affect this reality. 

Gaining perspective comes from stepping back and seeing the big picture, going up and seeing from a higher vantage point, moving to the edge of the game and seeing everything that is going on. 

In the realm of the mental and spiritual this going to the edge, going up and seeing the big picture works in more ways that in the physical. 

Just like dual, opposing and contrary directions and feelings can exist within the consciousness, so too going to the edge can mean going in, moving out, looking sideways, feeling in shapes, hearing in color, seeing in sound, smelling knowledge, tasting direction and communicating all of this information with a direction of mind that is moving more and more towards clarity.

Traced back all of these ways of expression, listening and communication are found from one faculty that all of us have - awareness.
