Never Give Up in Life

September 5th, 2009

This video just floored me. I know you’ll all love it. You can’t watch this video and NOT be inspired.

We ALL have a purpose. Everyone.

If you’re reading this from a feed and you can’t see the video, here’s a link to it on youtube.

Chakra Meditation Catch Up

September 4th, 2009

Happy Afternoon!

I’m so happy to be able to finally sit down and talk a little about these chakra meditations. I’m really enjoying my daily meditations. It’s been very cool learning about each one each day. I can tell you for SURE that I’ve got some balancing to do. Funny how little aches and pains and issues now make a LOT more sense.

Anyway, I’m going to put a cork in it and get on with the good stuff!


Wednesday was solar plexus day. The solar plexus is located in the center of your body at the base of your breast bone. It is the center of personal power, ambition, desire and emotion.

Typical symptoms of an out of balance solar plexus are:

  • Lack of concentration
  • Failing memory
  • Falling asleep during the day
  • Insomnia
  • Digestive disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • Stress-related skin conditions

Meditating to find balance in the solar plexus:
After your preliminary relaxation techniques, imagine a glowing golden light emanating from your solar plexus that grows in brightness with every breath. Feel it’s warmth and allow it to energize your body.



Thursday was heart chakra day. The heart chakra is located in the center of your chest. It is the center of your connection to everyone and everything around you.

Typical symptoms of an out of balance heart charka are:

  • Emotional confusion
  • Unloving and uncaring attitude
  • Narrow-mindedness
  • Relationship breakdown
  • Heart disease
  • Chest, lung and respiratory disorders
  • Early signs of physical aging

Meditating to find balance in the heart chakra:
Focus on your breath as your breathe in feeling it go deep through your body and back out your nose. Once you’re relaxed, see a healing green light in the air as you breathe deeply and let it fill your body. Fill your heart chakra with the healing green light and allow it to swirl and dance however it will.


Friday is the throat chakra day. The throat chakra is located midway up the neck between the collar bone and chin. Around the “Adam’s Apple” in men. It is the communication center. It’s the center that allows up to express out uniqueness in the world.

Typical symptoms of an unbalanced throat chakra are:

  • Skin rashes
  • Heart attack
  • Weak or bad back
  • Digestive problems such as IBS
  • Fear of speaking your mind
  • Lack of concentration
  • Attention deficit disorders
  • Feelings of unease and anxiety

Meditating to find balance in the throat chakra:
After your initial relaxation exercises, see a cool, blue ball of light around your throat chakra. Focus on your breath and feel it as though your actually pulling the air THROUGH your throat chakra. Feel the cool blue light twist in your breath and watch your exhale carry away anything negative in the blue mist


So that’s where I’m at now. All caught up. Tomorrow is brow chakra day.

Here in the states it’s a holiday weekend. I hope you all have a safe and enlightening weekend :)
See you tomorrow!

Friday Update!

September 4th, 2009

Good morning beautiful people!!

I’ve not posted for two days! I’ve been SO busy, the past two nights, I’d intended to post on my way to bed but I dropped off into sleep walking/standing so quickly that I forgot all about the posts.

I have NOT, however, forgot about the chakra meditations. I’ve been doing them and finding them quite enjoyable. I’m going to come back here in just a little bit to write for the last couple days I’ve missed. I wish I could do it now, but alas, it is 10 minutes til 8am and I must get the little ones out the door and onto the school bus.

In the meantime, here’s a couple cool things for you to check out….

*Weight-loss is one of the most difficult things to undergo alone. Studies have proven that people just do better when they have the support of similarly goaled people. With this in mind, go check out traineo.com where you can start a FREE motivation program. You choose friends and you support eachother! How fantastic!!

*Cooking for your family can be such a drag. I personally am tired of cooking variations of the same 10 meals. I know I’ve mentioned this site before but it bears repeating. All Recipes is the most fantastic site for recipes. You can search by ingredients or meats or types of meals and more. What’s even better is that, recipe users submit reviews listing what they thought and what they changed. That means you get the original recipe plus any number of variations made by a long list of previous users.

And finally…..

*Kids will love searching for homework research from Kids Click! It’s a kid friendly search engine made FOR kids by LIBRARIANS. Very awesome.
