On Will-Power Wednesday, let’s take the time to make the time, and bring our attention and focus to the Solar Plexus Chakra, located in the middle of the body, to allow what you Will, to flow through you!  As children, most of us were not raised by caregivers who understood our Energy, or Chakras System was organizing itself during our childhood. Which leaves to most of us, not knowing a damn thing about it, throughout our adult lives, as well. That’s not to say our caregivers didn't love us. We just don't know what we don't know, until we know it. As a matter of fact the restrictive, or strict, overprotectiveness, or worrisomeness, was typically out of love, for our protection or for our best interest.  While what happened to us as children was no one's fault, healing ourselves and coming into alignment is our own individual responsibility. With that being said, most of us now- have misaligned or blocked chakra systems.  Situationstion, circumstances and events that would have created an imbalance or misalignment or blockage to the Solar Plexus specifically, would be a caregiver who did not allow for individual freedom of choice. As children, much of what was going on in our life was chosen for you, e.g...Your clothing style, your hair preference, when to go to sleep or what time to wake up, what to eat, when to eat, how to spend your free time. Or, sit up straight- don't slouch, don't drag your feet, don't slurp your drink, you must learn to do things the ‘right way’ and get it done now-or else! Overall, we end learning more how to obey, fear or manipulate the world outside of us, rather than to learn how to trust ourselves, think for ourselves or empathize with the world around us. If you’re interested in learning more about the effects of restrictive, or strict, overprotectiveness, or worrisomeness parenting, check out this great article.  Strict Parenting Actually Creates Behavior Problem in Children. “The Solar Plexus Chakra Is The Seed Of Your Personal Power.” Says Mindvalley.com If your interested in learning more about the Solar Plexus Chakra this is a great article: “How To Activate Your Solar Plexus Chakra For Personal Power” Mindvalley.com If we were taught to listen, do as you were told, or else!...We conditioned ourselves to shift our natural focus point of our attention, to tune into the ‘outside world’ or field energy outside of the body, for guidance from someone/something else.  Now, we must teach ourselves how to shift and return our focus to its natural position by tuning into our ‘inner world’ or internal field of energy inside the body, or heart-splace, for guidance from our innate, authentic, Higher Self  By using your Will to shift your focus, you can learn to listen to your inner voice, that has no words, yet is always guiding you on your Life Path. It’s that subtle feeling that gives you an impulse to do something, say something, go somewhere or get something, that we tend to instantly dismiss, resist, recoil or ignore.    In what ways have you taken on the role of restricting yourself or controlling what you want to do, how you want to do it, when you want to do it or why you want to do it? In what ways can you tune into Your person power and Will, to encourage yourself to do what you typically don't give yourself permission to do?

Threshold Thursday! Joon me for The Love Shaq- The Heart Chakra is Governed by Child-like innocence and Joy.  On Threshold Thursday, let’s take the time to make the time, and bring our attention and focus to the Heart Chakra, located in the Heart-Splace of the center of your chest.  The Heart Chakra is the center point between and unifier of our physical chakras and nonphysical, or spiritual chakras. f there is a misalignment in the Heart Chakra, the as above can not flow so below and the as within can not flow so without. The heart-space is where the melding of the upper and lower energies ebb and flow through our bodies...The divine can not flow freely through the portal in which it was created to flow freely through. Energy from below, or the lower 3 Chakras and the Energy from above, or the upper 3 Chakras can not meet and connect enough in the Heart Space, to flow in its natural state. Our natural state is the culmination of our physical, (lower 3 chakras) and our nonphysical (upper 3 chakras) Energies, finding balance in the Heart Chakra. Everything we feel is being received and transmitted through the Heart in this Now, space in time within this place in time, or Heart-Splace. There is nothing that is not known, by the Heart-Spalce. The Heart-Spalce is the space in time, within this place in time where All that is, exist…Nothing more morning less. If, as children, we had did not bond with our caregivers, due to stress, trauma or neglect for our feeling, be would not have felt safe enough to allow the flow of Love to flow. We would have covered it up, in order to protect it from the uncomfortableness. Can you remember having the sense of security or trust to experience the childlike innocence and joy about Life, as a child? Did you have loving, nurturing, patient, positive caregivers or family, that were examples of unconditional Love, for You as a child? Were you able to just be relaxed and feel safe practicing just being the raw true, authentic, messy, learn as you go, how to be the best version of myself, Self? Let’s allow the planetary energies available to us on this day to innocently move us in the direction of our child-ish joys...Let's take this day to be spontaneously curious! There was a fun game I saw, on line call Synchronicity Walk, I invite you to check this link to hear how the game is played! Get outside and go make some friends! It's more funner together! It is a Covid-friendly social distancing activity. In the winter season, you can even play indoors! Use your imagination! https://images.app.goo.gl/fMUcCTg9ueYcukqX9

Part 1 of 2- To speak from your Truth. The lower 3 ground the body to hold the energy. The heart transmits and balances the physical and non physical, The upper 3 bring the bring the life force into the body. There doesn't seem to be enough words to describe something that has no words. These notes to self, are a collection of some words I've chosen to describe the indescribable. Friday is Notes To Self. I have no preset topic. On this day, I allow the Divine to flow freely and what pops up, is what's up! 

Thank you for tuning into The Just ME. Just BƎ. Daily Mission & Weekly Challenge!   It can be a daily challenge to remember, how to just be yourself. Nothing more, nothing less!   Remember! This shit is supposed to be fun!   You can think of this as a lighthearted way to add some fun-lovin' playfulness to your own daily mission to practice your state of mindfulness.  Practicing mindfulness helps us to notice our actions, thoughts and feelings, without getting lost in them, or identifying ourselves with them.~   "Permanent and continuous Self-awareness is known as Self-realization"  -Sri Ramana Maharshi  Being easily triggered by situation, circumstances or events, is an indication of a blockage, or misalignment within our energy system.   By using the planetary energy already present in the days of the week we can open, heal, repair and give some attention to any blockage or misalignment within our chakra system, and free ourselves from…((The Loop of Unsatisfaction!))  Remember, every time a fear pops up and triggers a shift in our personality, that it's a cycle, or circuit, of energy we created that is simply returning home, to its Source.   Our fears trigger aspects, or parts of our personality, that were originally created unconsciously in our childhood, to handle a traumatizing situation, circumstance, or event.  As Humans, our body's built-in survival mechanism, or survival tools, created  automatic actions, repetitive thoughts and emotional feelings, that as children, we were simply unaware of.  Even though this was done for our protection during the time of the trauma, many of these automatic responses remain automatic, into our adulthood.  A childhood fear of monsters may have manifested into a fear of burglars. A fear of strangers may have turned into social anxiety.  The good news is, with the practice of mindfulness exercises, we can utilize our built-in tool kit and shift ourselves, from survivor to thriver!   Mindfulness techniques help us to become consciously aware, and fear-less in the moment our unconscious, automatic impulse to shift, in the face of fear.  "Change is enviable.  Growth is optional." ~John Maxwell  The choice is ours to make...Either way we're gonna learn, either through unconditionally loving ourselves and seeing yourself through the changes you must bring yourself through or through pushing away and avoiding the changes out of the fear of repeating it.  I dare you to do something that you're afraid of, or makes you uncomfortable to do, and I double dog dare you to share it with us!   Being just You, with all your heart, nothing more and nothing less, is what you're here to do.  Sharing our strengths and our difficult and challenging moments with each other, lets us see the process of healing ourselves is possible. It lets us see it can be done and gives the rest of us, the courage and permission to do the same for ourselves~
