Day 15 of the 30 day meditation challenge. The Throat Chakra.

Feeling a little shy or insecure? Or maybe you have a loud or pompous way of talking to people?  Well then your throat chakra might be out of balance. I admit I have been both at times, but I'm usually under active, which is shy and insecure.  So how can you change this? Well, you could try balancing your throat chakra.

The throat chakra is blue in color and is the key to you speaking up and being heard, but without being aggressive in your speech or words. As with the other meditations, breathe in to the count of five and breathe out to the count of eight. three times, or until you feel your mind is clear.   I still use the pinwheel idea to breathe light into my chakra while inhaling, so if you have come up with your own way, then do what is comfortable with you.  Balancing this chakra can help with boosting your confidence and raising your self-esteem. Get your throat chakra spinning at a good steady speed and glowing again.  When you are done with your meditation open your eyes and review how you feel and if you feel that your voice is stronger. 

This is definitely a chakra I need to work on.  As mentioned before, I am a wee shy and at times have been insecure about things, but like many, I have had moments of being a bit pompous or ridiculous in nature, so this is another chakra that will be important for me to work on.

There are many chakra meditations on Youtube, so don't be shy, search them out and see which one works best for you.

Until tomorrow...we're halfway through! Yay!! :)

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Journey to 40 Day 1.

Well the title is misleading, because my Journey to 40 began on January 10th, but in an attempt to turn my blog into something more than just a random thought or picture, I decided that maybe if I document my day to day trials of weight loss and getting my heart into better shape, it might help me to stay motivated, because this isn't just about being healthy and fit, this is about saving my life. I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot.  It's several things, but most importantly it entails a hole in my heart that in my case was coupled with a crushed valve.  I had a dacron patch placed on my heart's hole (insert pun or joke here) and according to recent tests, the pig valve I thought I had, turned out to be a reconstructed valve.  At least that is what we all have come to believe and I prefer to not be opened up to find out.  That said, my life has always been slightly different than other kids. For what seemed like an eternity, but was only about 8-9 years, I walke...

Coping in the aftermath...mama is gone...

People keep asking me, "how are you?", or they keep saying, "I can't believe how strong you are", or "how well you are holding up", but the truth is, I feel like a mess inside.  I'm no different than anyone else though. I hurt, I feel pain, I cry. I mourn, but I suffered through depression for twenty years, many of them without medication and I learned that by suppressing my feelings, they just fester and burst out like a bottle of Coke that's been shaken and the cap left on.  I'm not strong, I just have a good, tight fitting mask, that comes off every night when I crawl into bed and goes on every morning before I step out of my room. Actually I take that back. I do feel like I have gained a little bit of something I never had before, my Mama's strength and the I'm-not-going-to-take-your-sh*t-attitude.  Yeah, she wasn't big on swearing, hence the *.  I guess it is a little shout out to her, since I am sure that even though I ...
