Self Pursuit Helping you grow, think, create and live a life of perpetual development.

How do you think you cope with yourself? Do you accept who you are? Love being yourself or hold grudges against yourself? There are no definite answers for these questions. At times you may like yourself, at some other time you may loath yourself for whom you are. In any of these cases you have to live with yourself. You can’t live with yourself happily if you don’t love and accept yourself. No one can.

What is self acceptance?

Self acceptance is all about accepting the kind of person you think you are and loving that being. It is relative to self image and self concept. Self image refers to the way we perceive ourselves to be and self concept means all the notions a person has about himself. Self acceptance is based on positive evaluation of the self; the person we think we are.

Self acceptance does not work in parts. You cannot accept a part of yourself and reject the rest. Just like the way you can’t separate nuts from snickers. They are a part of it, if you don’t like them then you go for a plain chocolate. So, you miss out on snickers as a whole. In the same manner self acceptance is done as a whole and not in fragments.

Accepting yourself does not mean that you make peace with every negative thing about yourself. If you’re an alcoholic or a druggie then you don’t go about practicing self acceptance, you aren’t that consciously aware of yourself for the purpose. You can’t accept every bad quality about under the pretext of accepting yourself as the way you are. Those negative qualities have to be reformed so that you and those around you experience more happiness.

Self acceptance helps you to develop trust in yourself and in life. The more you trust yourself the more you develop trust in your instincts, your inner goodness, your intuition and your soul. You perceive yourself in a different way than you did before, in a more positive way. You tend to develop a more positive outlook towards yourself, people around you and life.

We need to accept ourselves without getting illusioned about who we are. We need to have a clear image and also the right image of ourselves. There is a fine line between self acceptance and self deception which needs to be clear otherwise you’re just fooling yourself. Acceptance is not a passive state or where a person fails to change himself but a state of striving towards your best. Acceptance does not mean you are weak, it means you are strong enough to accept your faults and weaknesses and are willing to work upon them.

So this Self Acceptance, a flower which blooms slowly but its fragrance fades out even slower. It s that part of life which works behind the scene but controls all the other scenes of life. So which scene are you going to beautify today?

Chakras are our energy source. They are points in our body in which our hidden energies are stored. They are openings for life energy to flow into and out of our auras.  They bring out our self-consciousness and nourish our soul. If they are opened then it’s like a food for our soul. They are like an energy tunnel, at the end of which is spiritual light. When our chakras our open, we can compare our life to a lotus flower. Like a lotus flower blooms beautifully in mud around, similarly our life also flourishes when our chakras are activated.

A healing process is available for all God’s creations, be it humans, animals, birds, nature, cosmos or even the concealed energies present inside and around us. Through philosophical point of view, it means that He equally provides all of us with a second chance to rise above our mistakes. Similarly, we have been provided with a healing pattern to surmount the imbalances of our chakras. Here, we will discuss the techniques to overcome the blockages of the Sacral Chakra.

The Sacral chakra, acknowledged as “Swadhisthana” in Sanskrit language, is the second in mold of the chakras of the body. Located at the lower abdomen, it is associated with the color orange. The second chakra governs our reproductive parts, creativity and our decisions. When the Spleen chakra, which is its second name, is free of fragments and spins progressively in the abdomen, it provides us with various benefits. It establishes emotional and hormonal stability which aids us in achieving new targets of life. The dam of our creative juice is released, enabling us in realizing great and brilliant ideas. A balance is struck for the sexual desires and fantasies, that is, neither a person acts aloof nor gets addictive to it. With everything in place and harmony, breezes of joy blow in our life. However, if the chakra loses it balance or gets blocked then various severe troubles are set to arrive. If the chakra turns sluggish that will result in a person becoming shy, timid, mobilized by fear, impotent and overly sensitive. Similarly, if excessive energy passes through the chakra then a person faces opposite problems which are addiction to sexual pleasures, jealousy, over indulgent, obsessive attractions and become emotionally explosive.

“Swadhisthana” is associated with vibrant orange hue which represents creativity and sensuality. Orange color boosts self confidence, power and self-esteem. Being a vivid color, it generally showcases joy, enthusiasm and a sense of wellness. Use of orange colored materials or clothes and consuming orange colored foods like, orange fruit are very beneficial in boosting the power of the Sacral Chakra.

The Sacral Chakra is all about striking a balance between male and female, active and passive and yin and yang. The functioning of this chakra swears by the law of equality. Whenever this equilibrium is disturbed, we are faced by grave emotional and physical difficulties. Several techniques are available to help us regain that equilibrium. These techniques gently guides us into attaining a calmer and a more efficient chakra. Some of them are very easy to understand and it works on a personal level with everyone. One of those techniques is as follows:

A visualization technique for healing your Sacral Chakra:

Take a few deep, relaxing breaths and clear your mind of intentional thoughts.

2.   Imagine a vibrant orange light filling up the spaces in your lower abdomen, showering your insides with its heat and its brilliant sparks of light. This light offers such excitement; such happiness. Everything it touches is instantly healed.

3.   Place your hands just above your body in the area of the Sacral Chakra and feel the warmth that radiates from this inner sun. The light of this energy banishes away the negativity and stagnant energy that has accumulated, opening the portal to increased energy and passion, creativity and joyfulness.

The techniques and healing patterns help an individual in overcoming the imbalance of the Sacral Chakra.

If you have been on a hunt, to uncover the most beneficial and basic therapeutic techniques of the Root Chakra, then you have stumbled upon the right object. Do you feel restless, worthless, fearful, and absent minded? Do you also suffer from the sense of not belonging, lethargic behavior and phobias? If your answer was “Yes” for most of them then you need not to worry, help is here. Now, for those who answered “No” for the above questions but are still curious about the chakra and its techniques, here’s a quick explanation about the chakra.

There are a total of seven chakras in our body. Out of them, Root Chakra is the foremost and sets a path for the energy flow in our body. All the forces and energies inaugurate their journey from Root Chakra and then follow their way up to other chakras. This chakra is situated at the base of the spine and it acts as an energetic doorway which grounds us to the life of earth and forces of nature and planet. When Root chakra, also known as “Maludhara”, is in good vigor, it initiates a desire to create and to succeed and also forms a sense of safety and comfort for us, in this world. However, when this chakra is thrown off balance, a number of ailments and problems arise, reaching to the extent of casting a threat to the very survival of a human being.

Although, as the saying “every action has an equal and opposite reaction” goes, we present the reaction to the above problems here. You will come across the simplest and the most useful ways to heal your chakra. The Root Chakra is associated with the color red and the astrological sign of Taurus, the bull which represents passion, fire, heat, and strength and stability respectively. The most basic technique of boosting the power of the chakra is by donning and consuming red colored objects. For instance, red chilies, cherries, tomatoes, red colored clothes, red rose, etc. Since this chakra is also allied with the earth, therefore, earthly substances like carrots, garlic also aid in boosting the powers of the chakra.

Other techniques to heal the chakra are stomping feet on the floor, walking barefoot on the grass, dancing and the following:

TECHNIQUE 1:

Hold your hands over your Root Chakra, paying attention to changes in air thickness, temperature, subtle sensations in the hands or fingers.
Visualize the energy move through your chakra as the first step in clearing it. We can intentionally increase our chakra’s rotation simply by willing it.
Place a black obsidian or hematite stone in between crossed legs during meditation, and focus your attention on the sensations and the thoughts that pop into your mind. These stones offer protection, grounding and strength and they balance body and soul.

Visualization is one of the best ways to heal your chakras.

TECHNIQUE 2:
While relaxing or meditating, imagine a deep red light begin to cast a shimmering glow in your Root Chakra. Feel the warm radiance of the light pulsations and see the energy begin to move there in your mind.  Spinning into existence in the midst of that energy is a deep red lotus flower. It unfolds its four large petals on the silken screen of your mind. You might note that there are patches of stalled energy in your chakra that are breaking up as you concentrate on absorbing energy and breathing into the chakra. Notice the sensations as the chakra begins to open and pull in energy to your body and let that feeling of power and stability wash through your core.

Take a moment to appreciate your body for the ways that it supports you throughout your life.

By following the above given techniques, you will be able to soothe your senses and the working of your Root Chakra. Keeping the chakra in good health is particularly important as it sets the course of your well-being and personality.

Our opinions and feelings are as much of importance as others'. We are so deeply connected by chakras that even the power of communication and speech is controlled by a chakra, that is, the Throat Chakra. The health of this chakra is of utmost importance. This can be understood by the following instance.

When a child is born, the doctor slaps its rear to check if it is alive. If the child cries following the painful test, it’s good news for the parents. Or else, the child is headed back to be with God.  Since the starting of the life-our voice, our cry works as an evidence of our survival. It lets others know that we are alive and kicking. Our cry acts as a medium for our parents to understand us until we learn to speak. Then how do we manage to live without it when we grow up? Does it not matter as much then? It surely does.

Now, the question is what reins our speech? As discussed above, the Throat Chakra is in-charge of our communication and self-expression. Depending upon its condition, we are either awarded with its benefits or punished with its troubles. It is up to us as to in which condition do we prefer to keep it. Located at the back of the centre of the throat, it is associated with hearing voice and truth. It connects us with the spiritual self as it pertains to spiritual truth as well as our own truth. The Throat Chakra gets blocked by many reasons. Telling lies, giving out mixed messages, constant yelling, verbal abuse and keeping secrets also result in the chakra’s imbalance. In addition to that, family cults like “don’t talk”, “don’t feel” and “don’t trust” add up in throwing the chakra out of balance.

If our throat chakra remains in good health, it benefits us with a series of benedictions. It fills up with a willingness to communicate with others. Expressions of ideas, feelings and opinions come easily. Our creativity and work improves manifolds because now we are able to tell others what exactly do we want and how do we want it. Moreover, with expressing our desires, we also convey our weaknesses and strengths honestly. This leads us to the top position in our job, performance and even life, in general. Communication is the key to happiness. So, if this passageway gets choked, problems are sure to arise. Since, we have still not reached the time where we can read other people’s mind; we only have communication to our rescue. Whenever we want to express our love to others, we sing poems or tell them that we love them. In the case of anger, we verbalize harsh and mean words. If someone’s not feeling good, we soothe them with encouraging words. So, in short, it would be literally impossible to live without communicating.

We need to state what is going on in our minds. God has made us that way; He knows exactly what he has made. So, why challenge his decisions when it has been made in our favor? We need to keep out Throat Chakra in good health to live and survive.

Spirituality or spiritual healing can be explained as the matter of spirit and is related to faith and faith is nothing but a thought of hopeful belief. However counseling on the other hand is the act of vigorously assisting a person to deepen their thoughts of faith or hopeful belief. Offering counseling and advice is applicable to every field. So, spiritual counseling is one of the types in counseling where the counselor helps the person in developing all suitable changes in body, mind and spirit for transformed life.

Anything that is spiritual is completely related to God and it is a universal spiritual presence for good. Typically the spiritual counselor has so much faith in eternal presence of good or God of the diving mind inside, that they can even guide other people to their inner power. Faith is one of the most important elements of spirituality and without it there would be no spiritual enlightenment. Faith is also a law of spirituality similar to the law of attraction. Therefore you can always opt for spiritual counseling and advice when you are ready to start working with the hidden powers within your own mind.  The spiritual counselor preferably has training in all these laws of belief for spirituality such as the inner thought control, the law of attraction, the power of positive thinking, the power of prayers and the law of faith. The practice and belief of the counselor for these laws would help you create necessary changes and find an answer that you are looking for. Apart from the laws, the spiritual counselor might also use other methods such as guided imagery to help you believe in spirituality and its laws to get the answers to your problems.

Spirituality basically develops from the inside, from your heart. Therefore it is always better to know what you wish for, what you actually want to do and what are the issues that really bother you. For the growth of spiritual healing or spirituality you need have to visit a counselor that specializes in this field. They would lead you through the path of glory, righteousness, path of tranquility and peace and would also help you know yourself in a more beautiful and clear way. However in the middle of work pressure in the aggressive corporate world every individual tends to forget who they actually are but with the help of spiritual counselor and mind body connection method you can get back to your true self.

However spiritual healing is the healing of mind, body and spirit, which involves understanding of t supreme powers called by various names such as superconscious self, God, higher mind, universal mind and subconscious mind. The healer can even work with you to release any inner physician you might have. The spiritual healer or counselor would guide you to the understanding of the reality of universal spiritual healing energies. However you can refer some online websites if you are looking for counseling and advice in spiritual healing so that you can get all answers to your problems.

Methods of spiritual healing are not something that you can learn at any local healthcare clinic but it is their value that goes far beyond anything that you could avail from a pill or bottle. It is a concept which has been used for several ages but there are a few people who believe that it has the ability to heal problems which the doctors might even not have an answer for it. This method is not something that can be taught in a classroom or even learnt from a lot of reading, but is something that can be only learnt through personal experience.

Additionally, the results from this type of healing are much better that what you can expect from the medicines prescribed by the doctor. However the most mesmerizing aspect of spiritually healing is that anyone can practice it and even become an expert without undertaking any classes or a certificate program. Still when it comes to health benefits the doctor who is an expert is an expert is spiritual healing practice would be the best source to seek for the right solution in a short period.

Regardless of how you look at it, life on earth is influenced by four dimensions, namely; up and down, left to right, forward and backwards, as well as time. New discoveries about the true size of the universe indicate that ‘all we see is not all there is.’ Not only are there four dimensions, there are eleven dimensions in total; it is believed that the 11th dimension leads to parallel universes. Speaking of parallel universe theories, four different kinds have been theorized. It said that there are Level 1, 2, 3 and 4; let us examine all four.

Level 1 parallel universe exists in the same space as ours, in other words; within the same universe, however we are unable to see it because it is so far away. At Level 1, picture many earth like planets at farthest depths of our universe. At Level 2 things get slightly complicated, that is, many, many, universes existing side by side; some have compared it to bubbles, or rather cosmic bubbles among mega bubbles. Picture an ocean of bubbles where each bubble holds a universe within it, furthermore, picture copies of earths within the universes that are within these never-ending bubbles.

At Level 3 we return to earth, Level 3 is descried as ‘here’ within the same space as ours, unlike Level 1 that is deep in the universe, Level 3 is here on earth, as described by a scientist “You could have dinosaurs running through you living room—But you can’t see them because they are in another dimension.” Levels 1, 2, and 3 may have life in it, you will find within these three levels, universes, earths and many copies of you. At Level 4 the laws of physics break down, that is to say, imagine a lifeless universe, where everything is absolutely different, because it is governed by a different law.

While some are busy looking for unknown flying objects, we have here within our immediate space unknown hidden dimensions. Einstein theorized that it is possible to travel to another time by going through a wormhole and scientists believe that such travel could be the key to entering parallel worlds. Earth as we know it came into being and it can cease to be, the continued existence of mankind could lie in unlocking the secrets of the parallel universe travel, that is, somewhere new to call home. Some have argued that an advanced civilization may be able to burn a hole into the fabric of space time in the distant future. Who knows, maybe our other copies on the other side will reach us first!
