Water is of utmost importance to our optimum health at both the physical and subtle energy level. It holds the essence of life and has significant ties to our emotional well being as it is connected with our second or sacral chakra. Even mild dehydration slows the metabolism and can contribute to daytime fatigue, hunger pangs and depression.

Research indicates that water intake of 8-10 glasses daily could significantly ease back and joint pain, as well as reduce the risk of colon, breast and bladder cancer. Adequate hydration insures normal blood flow relieving migraines, and controls histamines that prompt asthma attacks.

The average person loses between two and three litres of water a day through the breath, sweat and urine. This can
be more or less, depending on the types of activities that a person engages in. To prevent dehydration you need to replenish liquid that is lost throughout the day. Only you can know how much water you need to be at your best. By the time you feel thirsty you are
already dehydrated – you want to avoid becoming thirsty in the first place. Other fluids are NOT a substitute for water!It gives you exactly what it needs in a form that requires no additional action on its part.

Kangen Water™, H2Om Water®, and Penta Water® are commercially available drinking waters that offer some thing extra and are worth looking into! In addition to water intake, water based activities such as swimming and exposure to water ( walking on the beach, or by a lake or river, sitting in proximity to a fountain) also are nurturing to the sacral chakra! Power washing your home or washing your car, can be surprisingly uplifting if you're feeling a bit down. Be attentive to the water in your life and see how much better you feel!

Personally, my exposure to and regular use of binaural beat technology to facilitate meditation has enriched my life in ways too numerous to mention. Therefore, I wanted to share this information from Paul Rademacher of The Monroe Institute. Here it is:

"Today I was interviewed on the radio about the latest hysteria concerning the welfare of our youth. For those of you who haven't heard, they are supposedly "digital drugs" delivered via the internet (for a fee) that promise to deliver highs akin more traditional hallucinogenics.  The basis for these digital highs are binaural-beats.

I must admit to a bit of irritation over this story that is making the rounds and at first I thought it best to ignore it until our news media moved onto the next crisis manufactured for our consumption.  The irritation came from the fact that so much that is being written and said is wildly distorted.

At The Monroe Institute we have been working with binaural beat technology for over 30 years and the effects are nothing like what is being portrayed.  Rather than mind bending trips into uncontrollable states that leave teens writhing in agony, our experience is that when combined with a supportive and educational environment there are enormous benefits for increased self awareness, intuition, creativity, compassion, peace, and more.  Our more than 30,000 graduates will testify to that.  But as I reflected on this coverage of this story, I began to realize the ultimate irony: our news media is selling us the most pervasive drug of all. It is the altered consciousness of fear, hysteria and outrage.  These altered states take us out of the present moment and land us in a terrain that is it own high.

Outrage is intoxicating in the extreme because we can leave behind the troublesome, inconvenient and irritating need to discover for ourselves what's really going on and thereby learn something new.  Instead we get to move immediately to the euphoria of knowing we are right, regardless of the facts.
It doesn't matter whether we are by nature conservative or liberal.  Both Fox News and MSNBC are equally happy to push our rage buttons and sell us something that promises to fill the emptiness. Being "right" is a powerful elixir, it allows us to immediately simplify this complex world into categories of white hats and black hats.  Being right allows us to embark on one crusade after another that is deeply satisfying to the ego.  We don't need to listen to anyone else because we already know the truth. Ignorance, as they say, truly IS bliss.  However, it's a bliss we can no longer afford. There comes a time when we must say enough is enough. There comes a time to turn off the constant din of media driven hysteria and begin to listen to the inner voice.  And that, in itself, is an altered state of consciousness. It is called "sanity."  We hope that you will join us in spreading the word about the life-long benefits of controlled binaural beat technology, and please point anyone with any questions to the TMI website for more information!"

Sincerely,

Paul Rademacher

Ready to get serious about transforming your life, improving your relationships, trashing your outmoded, ineffective coping with crisis techniques? You must learn about, understand and begin to recognize, address and use the vibration that permeates every aspect of your world. It is essential if you want to make a real shift in the way you look at the life challenges you face and move through them.

Knowing and understanding yourself and others as unique energy beings is empowering. You cannot change someone else or necessarily change your circumstances, but you can always move energy and use energy to support yourself, no matter what. Best of all, no huge financial investment is required. All you need do is devote some time and direct your awareness to yourself and your surroundings. Connect your feelings, moods, and instincts with the colors, sounds, smells, and other frequencies you encounter or interact with.

Begin today by taking the first step in looking at your life energetically. From the moment you start your day, pay attention to shifts in your feelings and mood as you move through your routine. When you feel a shift either good or bad, take a moment to look around. What do you see, smell, hear? Where do you feel an energy shift in your physical body? Feel the energy fields of your coworkers, family, friends and pets as they interact with yours! As you end your day, evaluate the energy juicers and zappers in your world, whether they be colors, sounds, or life forms. You're one step further down the road to energy awareness!

COPING WITH GRIEF

For anyone experiencing the grief associated with the loss of a loved one, relationship, home or income, it is essential to reinforce your energy field with positive vibration. Clothing choices should include shades of pink and coral, and red if courage and motivation are needed. Pink, Green and Lavender are good colors for those grieving the loss of a loved one. If you are feeling depressed yellow and orange are beneficial.

Turquoise will help dispel negativity and toxic feelings from your field. Adding foods like salmon, pink grapefruit, cantaloupe, mangos, yams and sweet potatoes to your daily diet is beneficial. Chamomile and Peppermint teas are soothing. Investigate herbs such as St. John's Wort, Licorice, Grapeseed and Rosehip.

Essential oils of Marjoram, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Chamomile can be diffused or used in a bath. Jeane Rose recommends a preparation of 25 drops Bergamot,15 drops Chamomile and 5 drops Marjoram oils to be added to a diffuser as needed in The Aromatherapy Book (North Atlantic Books 1992). Water's Edge and Music of Hope, both from Tim Janis are wonderful choices of music if you are grieving.

 Gemstones to wear include Rose Quartz, Moonstone and Opal.

Flower Essences can be diffused, added to humidifier, worn in essendulum, taken as drops under the tongue or sprayed in the aura. They are extremely helpful in coping with grief. Bach Rescue Remedy is indispensible for coping with sudden, unexpected loss and severe grief. Star of Bethlehem Bach Essence Is also a good choice.

Reiki,Acupuncture,Brennan Energy Treatment and/or other professional energy balancing treatment is wonderful therapy to move emotional pain, negativity, anger and depression .

REAL CHANGE

 I was doing some New Year space clearing, cleaning out closets, cabinets & drawers and came across a little book I had purchased a few months back and never got around to reading. Synchronosity being what it is, this particular find could not have come at a more fortuitous moment. My ex husband died this past week and despite my best efforts over the years, the passage of time and shared children and grandchildren, as well as the loss of our child; we had a horrible relationship. Where there's life there's hope and when life is gone, the hope for healing in this time and place goes with it. It is sad and I was so thankful to come across "A Mini Course for Life". This wonderful little book provides guidelines for healing relationships in the form of daily lessons. There are punch out daily lessons cards that reinforce the author's message . I find the book simple to use and the affirmations and brief instruction truly helpful. So I highly recommend this volume to anyone seeking specific direction to help shift their attitudes and perceptions of the dysfunctional and painful relationships in their life. The book is available from Amazon or by clicking on the link below.

A NEW YOU FOR THE NEW YEAR!

In his book, Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships, psychotherapist John Welwood writes' Psychological work focuses more on what has gone wrong: how we have been wounded in our relations with others and how to go about addressing that. Spiritual work focuses more on what is intrinsically right: how we have infinite resources at the core of our nature that we can cultivate in order to live more expansively. If psychological work thins the clouds, spiritual work invokes the sun."

Monitoring and treating your energy environment should be as commonplace as diet and exercise considerations in a regular program of lifestyle management.Disruption of life force energy is the main cause of illness and dysfunction. Subtle energy treatment lets you tune into your spiritual resources, release energy blocks, and improve all aspects of your life.

Commit to taking charge of your energy environment and develop:

• Better coping skills
• Improved ability to learn and focus
• Control of your work, home and/or educational energy environment
• Enhanced physical, emotional, mental & spiritual health 

Looking for somewhere to begin? Order a wearable Q-Link Pendant  that offers constant fine tuning of the biofield and one of the "Traveling Through The Shades of Color" CD's  and listen daily.  This wonderful music from White Sage offers a continuous 63:00 minute journey to tune, balance, cleanse, and energize each of the chakra energy centers in one session. You will feel an immediate shift in your sense of well being and ability to cope with challenges and stress.

Here at Chakra Support we wish you and your loved ones a Blessed Holiday Season and New Year of optimum health and balance!

ENERGY TREATMENT

The past few weeks have been stressful and I've had the feeling a knife was lodged between my shoulder blades. What to do? I headed off to one of my favorite healers, Carol Meyer, a local Brennan science practitioner. The Barbara Brennan School of Healing was established in 1982 by Dr. Barbara Brennan, a former NASA physicist and renowned healer. Her books Hands of Light and Light Emerging are essential reading for anyone interested in learning more about the human energy field. The Barbara Brennan School of Healing is the world's premier institute of hands-on healing. BBSH offers both Professional Studies Diplomas and Bachelor of Science Degrees in Brennan Healing Science^®, a specialized form of holistic healthcare. This hands-on healing treatment works with an individual's energy system to create physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.

It's difficult to understand energy balancing treatment intellectually: the best way to "get it" is to "go for it'. This treatment really enables you to feel the flow of energy within and between your chakras and auric field. You experience your energy field extending way beyond your physical body during treatment. Brennan pracitioners are rigorously trained and the treatments are conducted while you are fully clothed with the practitioner's hands rested on energy points on the body and off in the auric field. Treatments last approximately 1 1/2 hours and cost varies but is comparable to a good massage. Definitely worth a try for anyone seriously interested in gaining a different perspective on coping with health challengesbe they emotional, mental,physical or spiritual. Besides feeling refreshed and expanded, I know for sure that whatever it was that was stuck between my shoulder blades is gone!

WHERE TO BEGIN WORKING WITH ENERGY

Once we decide to stop blaming and take resonsibility for our own process, where do we begin? While we might mentally know and acknowledge that getting drunk and beating up on the family is not the way to go, it isn't usually a cake walk to shift into new patterns of response to the old triggers. While we all would like to "walk our talk" fear and programmed responses and blocks ingrained in our energy field, more often than not, sabotage our efforts at rehabilitation. This is why I so love subtle energy work. It is a simple way to remove the judgment and self flagellation from the self improvement process and begin to recognize our energy field for what it is, both a blessing and a curse; but ultimately malleable.

In my book, Everyday Energy I set out a program to identify your  unique energetic strengths and weaknesses by immersing yourself in a particular vibration using all of your senses. So think each of the seven colors of the rainbow and notes of the scale intensified by synergistic bombardment, as it were, of your sensory system. You see "it", hear "it", smell "it", eat "it", wear "it" until you get "it"! What exactly is "it"? It is how vibration effects you. Once you get "it", you can use it to balance yourself and stop grasping at other people's energy fields or use addictions in an attempt to feel okay. it is a gradual process but the immersion helps a lot. So try an orange day {relates to joy and emotional balance) just to give it a whirl. Wear orange (real orange not muted or pastel). Eat orange foods throughout the day, i.e. carrots, pumpkin, squashes, OJ,mangos, papayas. Close your eyes intermittently and visualize orange light filling you up from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. Listen to orange music whenever you can, Steel Drum, Carribean, Folk Music, Country Music, the Beach Boys; any fun light hearted music is an example. Diffuse Orange oil or Neroli or Melissa or put a few drops on a cotton pad and sniff it occasionally during your day. If you can dance or swim, take a bath or wash the car with a hose. Orange energy relates to the water element and also female hormonal balance. So now what? At the end of your day, it's time to ask yourself-

0. How do I feel? Happier, more relaxed, more emotional, more creative, good, bad ?
0. Do I find myself wanting more of this energy or do I want to go into a dark room and hide?
0. Was my work or daily routine different in any way?
0. Did the people I encountered react differently to me than is usual?
0. How and when can I use this energy to my advantage or to help me cope with a particular challenge?

You are on your way to a better way of coping with day to day energy challenges!
