Body the Healing Machine

Posted on April 20, 2020 by in Body the Healing Machine

Do you know……..We all were constantly complaining that life is very challenging. No one had time to spare for their family, and especially on themselves. Now, with the global outbreak of Corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic, our life has temporarily changed. I can’t comment if it’s for good or bad, but our daily lifestyles have been impacted. Nature has provided us with the opportunity to heal our over active, heavily worked up body, mind, spirit with our inbuilt self-healing trait and establish harmony with our environment. This is the time to

                  Body the Healing Machine

explore our hidden potentials of cooking, sewing, painting, art-craft, writing, etc., to name a few. Grand Master Lu (Lu Sheng-Yen, born 27 June 1945, is the founder and spiritual leader of the True Buddha School with teachings from Buddhism and Taoism) reminds us that every event provides opportunities to learn and that health is a dynamic part of life. “Life is magic. Health is dynamic. It is true we need a strong immune system, but it is not the whole truth. We also need to see what the immune system represents?  Simply put, it is the result of your body, mind, and Spirit working as one.” 

Our body is not made to experience misery, disease, or sickness. Our cells continually look for health, balance and harmony with our surroundings. We have microcosm of macrcosm within us i.e.  human beings, are viewed as an epitome or miniature of the universe. Whatever exists in the nature exists within us to help us self- heal. When we break that natural law and stop vibrating at the same frequency, then we start attracting negative energies and victimize our body to different diseases.

Unlike in the Western traditions, Ayurveda (Ayu=long life and veda=knowledge, which means in Sanskrit, ‘knowledge of life’, originated in India more than 5,000 years ago from the ancient Vedic culture and is often called the “Mother of All Healing”), places great emphasis on individual body’s physical constitution, emotional nature, spiritual outlook, and balance of natural rhythms and cycles. Similarly, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine, teaches how to live a life of balance, wellness, and harmony. it’s rooted in unchanging natural law, which has its source beyond time). TCM believes that at birth we are born with the ability, Qi or energy to heal ourselves in a smooth, efficient, and productive way.

Modern quantum science as well as the Ayurveda and TCM, say that everything is made up of energy. We can use the vibrational frequency of nature and our internal frequency to heal and balance our bodies and emotions. According to Ayurveda and TCM, universe is composed of 5 Elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and they include our internal organs. Ayurveda believes, these five elements combine to make three Doshas, that controls all the function of our mind and body:

Vata(Air and Ether) –Fall and Early Winter, Later life

Pitta(Water and Fire) –Summer, Adolesent to Middle age

Kapha(Water and Earth) –Late winter and Early Spring, Birth to Puberty

This Five Element Framework offers a diagnostic framework to recognize where imbalances in our body, mind, emotions, and spirit lie. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy, an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics which identifies them.

We become what we think about. If we are not feeling good, then we don’t like ourselves. We carry our thoughts not only in our mind, rather in our entire body. It’s good to have some stress, but stress beyond our tolerance could create all kinds of problem in our day to day life. When stressful events happen, distress signals to brain, that alerts endocrine system which starts producing cortisol and adrenaline or epinephrine, stress hormones. As a result, our immunity goes down. We all have ability of resiliency to bounce back from stressful events, adversities and if not, this skill can be learnt with compassionate support through self-awareness and self-care. Most of us are unaware of our full potential, hidden skills, that we can acquire by self-programming through:

  • Self- hypnosis (Visualizing body is healing itself, becoming whole and functional)
  • Self introspect
  • How to be your ideal self
  • Guided imagery
  • Relaxation, Yoga,
  • Meditation to calm mind and connect to innate wisdom.
  • Give thanks and feel gratitude in the body
  • Appropriate Sleep
  • Good healthy diet to nourish the digestive system and boost the immune system
  • Find a healthy environment and get out of a toxic environment
  • Find healthy relationship, open the door to experience peace, love, and healing you deserve
  • Letting go of worries, fears and heaviness that weigh us down and make room for the new space to grow, to learn, to enjoy.

Inner peace is what natural healing looks like. When we’re at peace, our Qi flows and our spirit is content, that makes our entire internal environment balanced and in harmony. Ultimately, we feel healthy inside-out. In Ayurveda and TCM, they don’t treat the individual disease, but treat the person as a whole. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease.

Aromatherapy using Essential Oils is good way to support the body’s own healing system. Essential Oils are natural, volatile, concentrated, liquid plant extracts with different therapeutic properties and have been used since ancient times to cure different ailments. Essential oils have a very small molecular size and are easily absorbed by the skin. Following essential oils could be used for self-healing; Lavender, Peppermint, Tea tree, Eucalyptus, Roman Chamomile, Rosemary, Frankincense, Citrus oils, Geranium, Rose, Sandalwood

Grounding-Relaxing Spray:

2 oz. distilled water

15 drops lavender Essential Oil

10 drops grapefruit Essential Oil

5 drops geranium Essential Oil

1 tsp alcohol (vodka)

Add oils to a glass spray bottle, close, label, mix and spray in the room or on linen, use as desired. Mix well before each use.

Refreshing Ginger-Mint Tea

6-8 Fresh Mint Leaves (provides cooling effect in throat) or 1 Peppermint tea bag

4 Slices of fresh Ginger (warms and supports stomach functions) or 2 Ginger tea bags

In a pan, bring 4 cups of water to boil with fresh ginger slices, simmer for 5 minutes, turn off the flame, add peppermint leaves, cover  and let steep for 5 minutes, strain, drink hot or warm throughout the day. Can add honey (nourish and moisturize lungs and lemon (optional).

 For an emergency health condition seeking an immediate medical intervention by conventional medicine is the best choice.

Corona Virus in Laymen Term

Posted on April 13, 2020 by in Corona Virus in Laymen Term

Do you know…..In the wake of recent global development and the fatal impact of Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic, my friend, an eminent scientist, and a noted scholar, Dr. A. Vaishampayan, of the prestigious university of India, Banaras Hindu University, wrote this article for the understanding of laymen about the necessity to protect humans from the fatal Corona Virus and the necessity of social distancing. With his permission, I am sharing this valuable piece of information with you:

Friends, regularly asking me as to why Corona Virus is fatal to human beings only, may please note that phylogenetic analysis classifies it into FOUR types, i.e., (1) α (Alpha), (2) β (Beta), (3) γ (Gamma), and (4) δ (Delta), of which the serological tests have shown a matching GENETIC binding site of α & β in mammals, while γ & δ in birds. Accordingly, Covid-β is relatively Novel (reasonably more powerful than Type-α) that has a greater matching RECEPTIVE GENE site in human beings (while Covid-α might have infected a Tigress in New York, that’s a matter of further research). Matching site means something like a Lectin (from host) and Ricadhesin (from microbe) to be recognized for effective beneficial or injurious infection in plants. This is as true as we often feel crazy to match the colour of our red dress with matching sandals and accessories, and we don’t mind moving to one and/or the other shop(s) till we find the exact matching, suitable one. That’s why we have to confine ourselves in-house, such that this poisonous virus has no opportunity to search out whether we serologically match as its exact target or not, since if it matches, it will start destroying the human cells & respiratory system fast (belonging to any religion, race or geographical location), no sooner it completes its first 14 days of lag phase (as depicted below). But no worry, as the brilliant human mind of scientific community is busy producing an antidote that will vasectomize the matching/ recognizing/ victimizing genetic site of Covid-19 to be disrespectfully bounced back from a human surface. 

It won’t be out of place to mention that poisonous (Venomous) Snakes are Visible from Naked Eyes, hence we can change our route to protect ourselves, as & when these are seen once a while, and even if something unfortunate happens, an instant effort of doctors can save our life with the help of Established Antivenin Medicines available.

Unfortunately, in sharp contrast, the Corona Virus is Microscopic and NOT at all visible from Naked Eyes, yet diffused in the environment as a parasite in human beings it infects, the symptoms of which may NOT be apparent before two weeks. Since any scientifically proven Preventive or Curative Medicine, Antigen or Vaccine is NOT at all available so far, we have the only option to PROTECT OURSELVES BY PROMISING CONFINEMENT TO THE HOUSE (IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH EXPERTS’ RECOMMENDATIONS) TO KEEP US AWAY FROM THE IMPETUOUSLY CONTAGIOUS CORONA VIRUS that FATALLY chokes the Human Respiratory System.

We have to show our obligation to each and every individual from the medical, administration, police, other emergency services, and the unique magnanimous government at the top (appreciated round the globe) whose selfless, untiring & systematic efforts around the clock, has been very wisely, promptly & voluntarily confronting Corona Virus pandemic. Let us fight it out through the commensurate scientific & science-based medical/administrative advice by faithfully maintaining social distance and vehemently locking us down in our house, till the Virus fails to find out a new host or till the scientists come out with the appropriate drug (Interferon bio-synthesizing capacity in a human being) to change the VIRAL GENE ACTION (illustrated above).

Until confirmed preventives or curatives are available, in order to maintain our respiratory & esophageal clearance:

Can frequently drink hot or warm water: boiled with clove, crushed black pepper, and grated ginger, strained, mixed with lemon (optional).

Direct inhalation of essential oils: Right from the bottle or add 2-3 drops of essential oils (Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and/or Lavender) to a handkerchief, cotton ball, or inhaler tube, and breathe in as needed.

Steam Inhalation: is an effective way to relieve stuffy nose and sinus infection. Boil 2-3 cups tap water and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Add 4-6 drops of essential oils (2 drops each of Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and 1 drop Peppermint Essential Oils) and stir. Cover back of your head with a towel, carefully lean over the bowl without getting burn, and breathe in the steam through your nose and mouth as long as the steam is rising (for 2-4 minutes). Keep your eyes closed to prevent eye irritation. Repeat this 2-3 times a week for couple of weeks or as needed. (Instead of essential oils, can also use herbs: like 1 teaspoon of Oregano and 1 teaspoon of Basil or Holy Basil-Tulsi).

MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAINTAIN HAND HYGINE AND SOCIAL DISTANCING!

Significance of Mudras

Posted on April 6, 2020 by in Significance of Mudras

STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGINE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Do you know….. A Mudra, in Sanskrit means “seal”, “mark”, or “gesture”; is a symbolic or ritual gesture, pose in Indian religions and culture. Most mudras are performed with the hands and fingers, often in combination with movements of the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, while some involve the entire body. Mudras have been used for thousands of years to assist in meditation, healing, in the ceremonies, dances, sculptures, and painting iconography (i.e. representations of Buddha). In modern world, we most commonly associate mudras with hand positions in yoga and meditation.

            Significance of Mudras

Mudras are used to change the mood, perception and attitude of a person. In Yoga, mudras are practiced in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while seated in Padmasana (Lotus Pose), or Sukhasana (Easy Pose), or Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose), or even by sitting comfortably upright on a chair, to stimulate different parts of the body and mind, to increase awareness and mindfulness, to affect the flow of prana in the subtle body, and unblock chakras. Each mudra has its effect at three levels; body, mind, and soul. They provide us with the courage to handle difficult situations in our lives with ease.

Here I’ll talk about the five elements and mudras associated with those five elements. According to ancient scriptures and Ayurveda, there are five elements that are the basis of all cosmic creation; Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), Space (Aakasha), Earth (Prithivi), and Water (Varun, Jal). These five elements are integral part of every human being and we all exhibit different balance of these elements. Interestingly, each of our fingers of both hands, represent one of the five elements, which is associated with a different chakra (wheel of energy) in the body:

Thumb – Fire (Agni) – Manipur (Solar Plexus) Chakra

Index finger – Air (Vayu) – Anahat (Heart) Chakra

Middle Finger – Ether (Space or Aakash) – Vishuddhi (Throat) Chakra

Ring Finger – Earth (Prithivi) – Muladhar (Root) Chakra

Small Finger – Water (Varun or Jal) – Swadhisthan (Sacral) Chakra

Regular 10-20 minutes per day practice of an appropriate yoga mudra, can balance these elements for our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Of the many types of hand mudras, some are as follows:

  1. Prithivi (Earth) Mudra: touch the tip of your ring finger with the tip of thumb while the other fingers are kept straight. It is connected with Muladhar chakra.

Accordingly, this mudra strengthens the element earth within us. It helps in grounding energy and connecting with the earth. As a result, will feel safe, stable and secure in difficult times.

  1. Varun (Water or Jal) Mudra: touch the tip of your little finger (water) and the tip of thumb together, while the other fingers remain extended.Varun is the Sanskrit word for water and is connected with Sacral chakra.

Practicing this mudra helps with lack of water element in the body, which often results in dehydration, dryness of skin, hair, eyes, mouth, muscle cramps, skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, or digestive problems, constipation.

  1. Surya (Sun, Fire,Agni) Mudra: fold your ring finger down and place thumb on top of the ring finger, giving it a light pressure, keep the other fingers straight. It is connected to Solar Plexus chakra.

This is the mudra of fire, heat and sun. One of the best mudras for weight loss. It stands for prana or life force energy in our organs, that can be activated by this mudra to improve digestion, boost metabolism, help lose weight, improve vision, keep cholesterol in control, and energize the body.

  1. Vayu (Air) Mudra: Fold your index finger and place thumb on the back of index finger and keep other fingers straight. It is connected to Heart chakra.

By increasing the air element inside, this helps in pain relief from joint pains, rheumatism, gout, arthritis, helps in digestion, with gas and bloating, better blood circulation, helps with asthma, relaxation, remove guilt feeling. Vayu mudra is associated with Vata dosha, so beneficial for vata type people.

  1. Aakash (Ether, Space) Mudra: Bring the tips of your middle finger and thumb together creating a circle, while keeping the three fingers straight. It is connected to Throat chakra.

Aakash mudra creates a healing space within our body. It activates our throat chakra which stands for self-expression, communication and speaking out truth, controls overeating, calcium and phosphorus absorption from diet, helps detox our body, releases tension, negativity, and gives a feeling of completeness.

I would like to mention here Gyan mudra: which is one of the most recognized of the mudras. Touch the tips of thumb and index finger with palms facing upward.

This mudra is believed to reduce stress, relax the mind, calming, and spiritually awakening. It stimulates the air element in the body, which ultimately leads to an increase in the memory power, nervous system, level of concentration and pituitary gland production.

Alpha State of Meditation

Posted on March 30, 2020 by in Uncategorized

Do you know…….We have four types of brain waves; Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta. When we are relaxed, our brain activity slows down to 7-14 HZ, which is said to be in Alpha State of Mind, the ideal mental state. This is what scientists associate with our Right Brain, that is responsible for our imagination, memory, creativity, intuition, awareness, and being fully in the moment. Alpha state boosts creativity, resilience, and concentration. That’s what athletes and other performers work on to achieve success, called ‘being in the zone’. We can get into an alpha state of mind, by practicing meditation or guided meditation, deep breathing, pranayam, auto hypnosis by affirmation and visualization, by running and aerobic exercises, or listening to soothing music. Now a days, there are several apps available. To attain Alpha state with relaxation, follow a set regimen and gradually turn into a habitual practice:

 

 

Choose a specific time

           Alpha State of Meditation

Choose a specific place

Get comfortable

Avoid distractions

Do deep breathing and alternative breathing through nose

Use guided meditation technique

Count backward from 10 to 1, several times

Declutter your mind

Visualize a happy moment

Visualize a peaceful destination

On the other hand, Beta state of Mind is characterized with brain wave activity between 14-30 HZ. We spend most of our lives in the beta state, as we rush through the hustle – bustle of everyday life, busy checking off our to-do list, and trying to be productive. This rapid mental activity in beta mode has been linked to depression and anxiety, because often we are unable to get out of a negative pattern of thinking. Theta brainwaves occur between 4 – 7 Hz and Delta brainwaves occur below 3.5 Hz.

Studies have revealed, perhaps Aromatherapy, the art and science of using Essential Oils and drinking black, green, or white tea (leaves, naturally contain a substance called Theanine, which is an amino-acid and promotes relaxation without drowsiness), generates alpha brain waves in short time, that moves you into a state of relaxed alertness. Though, more research needs to be done.

Essential Oils are natural, volatile, aromatic, liquid plant extracts with different therapeutic properties. It has been used since ancient times for mental, spiritual and physical healing and to cure different ailments. Our most primitive sense is smell. It directly affects the limbic system of our brain, that controls are hormonal production, emotional state. Inhaling the scent of certain oils can help to ground and stabilize the energies from our emotional body. Essential oil can be inhaled directly from the bottle or place a single drop in palm, rub hands together, cup around nose, and begin breathing deeply for a calming effect, or apply a drop on wrists and neck, or apply to the bottom of the feet, or diffuse, or can wear like perfume. Researchers have found that inhaling Lavender and Sandalwood essential oils increases alpha-wave activity (relaxation), while inhaling Jasmine oil increases beta-wave activity (alertness, anxiety). Brain wave patterns can be affected by the beliefs and thoughts about the stimulus too.

 

Currently, when the entire world is facing the Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic, we need to be in Alpha state of mind. We have to be aware, not be scared. Every thought is affecting our feelings of fear which is creating more vulnerability and anxiety. We got to think right, because together with hand cleaning, we have to keep our mind clean, to circulate positive vibrations in the universe for the benefit of humanity at large.

Attain Happiness with Aromatherapy

Posted on March 23, 2020 by in Attain Happiness with Aromatherapy

Since last few weeks, we have been noticing, that our communities, our country, and the entire world is changing on an hourly basis due to Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreak, being felt all over the world. We all have to take necessary steps to keep ourselves and those around us safe and healthy. Please wash hands frequently, cover your cough and sneeze using the bend of your elbow or a tissue. We’re all vulnerable right now, regardless of borders, class, religion, and hierarchical identities. Stay at home if you feel unwell. Prevention is best practice. Please share only accurate information from the World Health Organization (WHO) or from trusted sources.

 Do you know………Laughter is not happiness. Usually we think, happiness is a feeling of being satisfied, being content the way life should be. In fact, the happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. With my personal life experiences, I think, happiness comes from within; the ability to love, the art to disagree and to accept, being fearless, being true to yourself, all this stem from the state of being happy.

         Attain Happiness with Aromatherapy

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”– Denis Waitley

Why are we unhappy? It’s because of our physical health (WHO, analysed that on an average every 100 people has 200 illnesses), our disturbed mental-emotional health, our strained relationship, our anger-ego-greed-lust-insecurity-fear, lack of understanding and accountability, conscious. These negative qualities of our personality, makes us hostile and we start blaming others for our mishaps (while it’s true that sometimes without realizing, we unknowingly let others take advantage of our trust, of our simplicity, and as a result get hurt) and in turn lose happiness. In such situations, if we perform the random act of kindness, it leads to profound happiness in life and thankfulness for the abundance is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Ultimately, whatever action gives us happiness, we start repeating it frequently, and in no time it becomes our habit. That is why, taking self-care and care of our mental-emotional health is more important than ever. To attain happiness, can follow these guidelines:

  1. Staying Grounded: by regularly practicing meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and exercising, will help with hormonal imbalance, which in turn will keep your stress and anxiety in check.
  2. Avoid negativity and toxic people: who pull you down, instead of being your support or a friend in need.
  3. Pay attention to self-care by giving yourself a TLC(tender loving care). Catching up on tasks is great, but don’t hesitate to take breaks and pause. Pamper yourself to a nice Aromatherapy massage.
  1. Indulge in activities that gives you pleasure, but you haven’t had time for it before. You deserve it.
  2. Walk in nature to get connected with your surroundings and the beautiful mother nature.
  3. Be compassionate to others and spread kindness, you will get blessings in return.
  4. Spend quality times with your loved ones.
  5. Finally, smell your favourite Essential oil that has the power to affect person’s mood.

Essential Oils are natural, volatile, liquid plant extracts with different therapeutic properties and have been used since ancient times to cure different ailments. A sense of smell is one of the five senses and a powerful connector between people and the world around them. Aromas are highly emotive and everyone reacts to scents differently based on their past experiences, memory, and emotions. This, in turn, may provide some relief in mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and help with feelings of happiness.Tangerine, Peppermint and Eucalyptus essential oils can help with the mental focus, discipline, and coping mechanisms, Grapefruit essential oil helps to uplift, to cheer up, while Rose absolute and Geranium essential oil brings balance of spirit and feeling of harmony. Rosemary is clarifying, Sandalwood, Clove, Frankincense essential oils, help with breathing, grounding, and to stay centered.

Happiness Room Spray:

3-4 oz. Distilled Water

1 Tbsp Alcohol

10 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

8 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil

8 drops Ylang ylang Essential Oil

In a 4 oz. spray bottle, add essential oils, 3 oz. distilled water, 1 Tbsp alcohol (I use Vodka), close the bottle, mix, and label. Spray in room as desired. Mix well before each use.

Emotional Detox with Aromatherapy

Posted on March 16, 2020 by in Emotional Detox with Aromatherapy

Do you know……….. It is terrifying to lose control of our emotions. We all go through some psychological problems of brain fog, depression, anxiety, tantrums, anger, etc., but we should not let it become a part of our daily routine. Emotional detox is the release of negative emotions and thoughts.

      Emotional Detox with Aromatherapy

If you have psychological issues, you likely have some sort of gut issue and vice-versa. Unfortunately, the brain and the gut are intimately linked. You must have heard or even used, ‘This is my ‘gut feeling’. Gut feeling is our body’s primal response to subconscious information. Most of us have experienced the sense of knowing things before we know them without any obvious explanation. The ultimate purpose of gut instinct is to protect us.

 

 It’s important to heal the fatigue, gut and digestive symptoms; constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, etc., simply by managing eating habits, exercising, and healthy life style. Together with these important actions, practice yoga and meditation regularly, make a gratitude journal, spend time outside in nature, indulge in activities to deal with negative emotions, avoid depressive situations, and try to stay calm.

Toxic emotions which stem from negative beliefs and attitudinal patterns, need to be purged. Sometimes these waves of emotional detox intertwine with one another, that leave us feeling physically drained and exhausted. Emotional detox is hard, but it is important to continue healing our body. In today’s fast paced, electronic, toxin filled world, it’s safe to say that many of us are not grounded or only partially grounded. Grounding and being grounded is a term in aromatherapy used to mean connecting with the present, being in the now and physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and energetically rooted like a tree (The tree stands firmly rooted to the ground, reaches for sun energy, bears flowers-fruits, sways, and changes with the season). Being grounded can also mean having a clear vision of ourselves and keeping our reactive, ego-centric behaviors in check. Essential oils have been the most amazing natural remedy to help mitigate these toxic emotions and begin healing our mental health. Essential oils for grounding obtained from the barks, roots, needles and resin of aromatic plants, eg:

Vetiver, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Patchouli, Black Spruce, Cypress, Angelica Root, Roman Chamomile, Ylang ylang, Rosewood

 Inhaling the scent of certain oils can help to ground and stabilize the energies being detoxed from our emotional body.  Essential oil can be inhaled directly from the bottle or place a single drop in palm, rub hands together, cup around nose, and begin breathing deeply for a calming effect, or apply a drop on wrists and neck, or apply to the bottom of the feet, or diffuse, or can wear like perfume.

Grounding-Calming Blend:

5 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil

5 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil

5 drops Lavender Essential Oil

5 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

2 drops Vetiver Essential Oil

2 oz Grapeseed or Almond carrier oil

Combine Essential oils and Carrier oil into a 2 oz. dark glass dropper bottle, label, and mix well. Massage 3-5drops near tail bone and lower back daily at night before bed time to open up root chakra, which is a powerful tool to get grounded.

Note: if begin considering harming yourself or others, seek immediate medical attention.

Days Associated with our Chakras

Posted on March 9, 2020 by in Days Associated with our Chakras

Do you know……… According to traditional Indian medicine and Vedic scriptures, there are 72,000 Nadis in human body. The Nadis refer to the network of channels through which the Prana (energies of the Subtle Body) said to flow. For a healthy body and mind it is important that prana flows in the body freely. When there is blockage or

       Days Associated with our Chakras

hinderance in the flow of prana, it messes up the whole system (creates Vyadhi). Out of all Nadis, 3 of them have special importance – IDA (terminates in the LEFT nostril, is cooling, feminine, calming, and have lunar energy), PINGALA (terminates in the RIGHT nostril, is heating, masculine, energizing, and have solar energy), and SUSHUMNA (is the central channel that runs vertically from the base of the spine to the top of the head).

Ida and Pingala Nadis cross along the central Sushumna Nadi. The points of intersection of these 3 Nadis, makes a whirlpool of energy along the spine, called Chakras. We and everything around us is made up of energy. The energy rises from the base of the spine to the crown of the body. The 7 main chakras, which are part of the human subtle energy system, ultimately keep us aligned. Misaligned and unbalanced chakras can lead to a variety of physical, mental and spiritual ailments, dysfunctions as do each of the vital organs connected to the out-of-balance chakras. Each one of the 7 chakra energy centers of the body are associated with a particular day of the week based upon the energetic similarities between the two and the associated planetary energies that they share:

Muladhara (Root) Chakra: is the first chakra at the base of the energy system and keeps us connected to the earth energy. The Root chakra is our connection to the physical plane and relates to our sense of stability and security on the earth.

Saturday is the Root chakra day, known as “Saturns Day” for its association with the planet Saturn, also named after the Roman God ‘Saturn’, or ‘Cronus’, the equivalent in Greek Mythology. Saturn is known as the Planet of ‘Karma’ and ‘Time’ and represents energy, vigor, protection, and self-discipline.

Swadisthana (Sacral) Chakra: Located just below the navel and governs the reproductive glands. Considered the gate chakra for all fluidity.

The Sacral chakra is associated with the day Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Monday, also known as “The Day of the Moon”. The Moon, like the Sacral chakra connects us to our emotions and fertility as well. Also, we associate the feminine aspect, much like moon with its cycles and seasons.

Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra: Located in the solar plexus area between the navel and sternum. To foster positive energy for personal transformation and to keep belly fire at a control. Till here all the Chakras are found in other species also.

Tuesday is the Solar Plexus chakra day and is sometimes connected with Sunday because of its representation with the related energies of the Solar Sun. Tuesday is the day of Mars. It represents willpower, determination, Strength, courage, competition, and effectiveness.

Anahata (Heart) chakra: Located in the middle of the chest. Promote peace and harmony between our physical and spiritual worlds.

Heart chakra is associated with the day of Wednesday, known as the “Day of Mercury”, the planet of interrelated communication. It is also associated with the day of Friday, the “Day of Venus” (which is named for the goddess of love and beauty, the equivalent of Venus in the Greek language is, Aphrodite) because of the compassionate associations with the Heart and the day of Thursday, is the day of planet Jupiter. He is the lord of information, wisdom, and knowledge.

Vishuddhi (Throat) chakra: Located in the throat area. To purify your being and keep your emotional self-balanced.

Wednesday, which is associated with Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun and the planet of communication and travel. Thursday is the day for Throat chakra.

Thursday named after the Norse God “Thor”, and is governed by the Planet Jupiter which is for prosperity, expansion, better communication, and also relates to travel.

Ajna (Third Eye) chakra: Located on the forehead between the eyebrows. It keeps emotional self-balanced, and is connected to the inner senses, i.e. spiritual vision or the minds eye,  intuition, insight, as well as higher knowledge/intellect, spiritual wisdom.

The Ajna Chakra is associated with the days Thursday and Friday, and also Monday for its Lunar association. The day of Venus or Friday brings spiritual powers and Thursday, the day of planet Jupiter which is the planet of expansion, higher wisdom, and travel.

Sahasrara (Crown) chakra: Located at the top of the head, funneling upwards to connect with our higher self. People who attain enlightenment are represented with the halo. This is the ultimate state to attain.

The Crown chakra is often associated with the day of Sunday, because of the connection to the “Sun”. The Sun, is a powerful force in our world because it is the source of heat and light, which is required energy for our food growth. Physically, without the sun there won’t be any life, so in relation to the Crown Chakra, the Sun also represents enlightenment, or the ultimate of higher consciousness.
