 Yoga’s Energy Centres: What Science Says About the Chakras If you practice a yogic lifestyle in the West, you most likely have been exposed to a myriad of products advertised to “balance your chakras.” From essential oil blends to fist-sized crystals to polished rocks, many of these products are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and affordable. But do they work? More importantly, what do we know about the chakras in the West? This article explores the chakra system and investigates its meaning from a scientific perspective.  What Are the Chakras? At their heart, the chakras are what Hindu spiritual traditions describe as seven centres of concentrated metaphysical energy positioned from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. The word “chakra” translates to “wheel” in Sanskrit. Each chakra is thought to vibrate at its own frequency in a circular pattern, funneling energy from the universe into the body’s energetic system. Although the chakra system may be dis...

15 Ways to Stop Living in the Past Even though the present is right in front of us, so many of us instead live with our focus either rooted in the past or planted in the future. Living in the past can be a difficult temptation to overcome, particularly if there are hurts and wounds that still require healing. But even if you have a complicated past that is difficult to forget, you are only borrowing time from yourself when you choose to take up residence in old hardships. Living in the past makes you lose sight of the present, and prevents you from building a happy future. HOW DO YOU STOP LIVING IN THE PAST?

It takes time to give old hurts and situations the healing they need so that we can properly move on from them – otherwise, they just turn into unprocessed baggage that will wreak havoc later on. Likewise, learning to embr...

 Krishna Says In Gita… Live In The World Like A Lotus Leaf.   Irrespective of whether one is a renunciate or a householder, the words of wisdom contained in the Bhagwad Gita teach us the method of leading a balanced life – a life that attaches equal importance to the spiritual aspect of life and attainment of proficiency in worldly affairs. The Gita urges repeatedly that one should live in the world like a lotus leaf, which remains pure and untainted despite being surrounded by filthy water. The Gita opens with a vivid description of men and things on the eve of the great battle of Kurukshetra. At the eleventh hour, Arjun’s mind is tormented at the sight of his venerable preceptors, sires and grandsires, sons and grandsons who are present in the battlefield. The very thought of fratricidal carnage and bloodshed that would ensue causes untold agony to his delicate mind – so much so that he puts aside his bow and arrow and is in no mental condition to fight. It is ironic...

 How To Know Whether To Push Oneself Or Let Go A man who is filled with arrogance suffers from it, not knowing how to free himself from it. By being arrogant he is constantly in conflict with others. He suffers this pain and finds himself alone, filled with the additional pain of loneliness. People feel scared to connect with him and he is scared of his loneliness, which makes him angrier. This is like adding fuel to fire. He approaches a spiritual healer for advice. The healer says, “Look at a flower. Irrespective of who comes by, the flower gives fragrance.” He further adds, “Come from a context that you will be like a flower showering the fragrance of joy. Always carry a flower with you and let that flower remind you of its function. You have to awaken more of female energy.” Arrogance is the obesity of the head, and the heart of education is the education of the heart. The head is the function of male energy and the heart is the function of female energy. The balance of h...

How Much Should You Try to Change Thinking Of Your Spouse?   If you're head over heels in love with someone who has what you perceive as flaws, you might hope that your significant other will change for the better with time and those nagging doubts will magically slip away. Many couples go into their relationships believing they can fix each other's flaws and that bad habits magically disappear once time goes by, but sadly this is rarely what happens. You shouldn't assume your partner will change in order for the relationship to work out. Accepting them and loving who they are is important because their behavior probably won't be changing significantly anytime soon—if ever. As you likely know from your own experience, change can be very difficult. Things That Will Likely Not Change There are certain things your partner does that may not be worth the effort in trying to change. If you're facing a conflict related to one of these problems, you may want to re...
