Chakras and DeJa Vu

Until I talked to Tomo, I did not have a concept that supports my own belief re: core of my self.

Over a dinner (I baked a meat loaf and cooked chinese vege stir-fry, steamed brown rice and miso soup) and desert (I baked a banana cake..hehe) at my place last nite, Tomo and I engaged in such a great conversation re: our beliefs on energy, from spiritual healing to chakras. We freely exchanged our ideas on many things, and it indeed was such a great experience: something that I truly was hungry for!!! (I love it whenever my friend is able to freely express their ideas and thoughts on spirituality, and it has been a long time since a friend was able to willingly share her/his thoughts on this level...thanks very much, TOMO!!!).

During our conversation, she mentioned re: Chakras.

According to this website, Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side.

Chakras on the midline of the bodyThe chakras can have various levels of activity. When they're "open," they're considered operative in a normal fashion.

Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. Our instincts would work together with our feelings and thinking. However, this is usually not the case. Some chakras are not open enough (being under-active), and to compensate, other chakras are over-active. The ideal state is where the chakras are balanced. To find out what the state of your chakras is, do the chakra test (I will tell you my result at the bottom of today's entry).

Anyway, back to what I was trying to say in today's entry. I have been freely able to connect with that self thru running and meditation since I gained my awareness towards spirituality over 5 years ago, thanks to a guidance from my best friend, Scott.

Around that time, I experienced a lot of spiritual experiences such as de ja vus. At one occassion, I was even able to rely on my own de ja vu to guide where I needed/wanted to go with my own will by breaking what it was going to happen (according to my de ja vu-a memory from the future).

And recently, I have been experiencing a lot of deja vus.

My deja vus happens whenever my mind recalls a flashback of few photographic images in my mind. Sometime, only a single image but very very remarkable to the degree that I can even draw a picture of it and the same image comes into my own reality later on (allowing me to know that it was a deja vu). And sometime a series of few images that allow me to know what would happen if I let the faith take where I need to be.

In a way, I personally believe this experience what I refer as deja bu is something that allows me to know my own destiny. So I feel that more I stay closed to my own core of self (soul) and maintaining good balance of my own chakras and being able to listen to my intuitive messages clearly and making daily decisions, more I MAY experince deja vus that allow me to know deep inside that the path that I am walking on is the right path/given path in my desitiny.

Anyway, after a few stressful incidences the past week, I questioned: "is this really the path that I was meant to go thru?? because I even rejected that good pay job offer in Barrie now and I need to start my job search again (my greedy self confusing my own past judgment and decision)".

But once again I experienced a deja vu of myself reading this article (I recalled the exact article detail and its picture in the magazine and my own surrounding) while exercising at the gym, trying to let go of my own accumulated negative energy and re-store my own good energy from my passion for my life.

So in that moment, I felt very assured that everything will be just fine! fine! fine!
and this message, "do not underestimate your passion for things that you are interested and love. stay who you are and take actions to better manifest your own identity!" came into my mind, as if its energy was trying to encourage/cheer me up and keep me moving without a fear.

I do not know if any of you do believe in spiritual experiences like this (that I sometime experience), but I love it whenever I am able to collect spiritual messages whenever I am exercising (feeling running high). I think we all are able to welcome such messages from the core of self (a message from our future?!) or from another world, only if we engage in activities to actively detach ourselves from heavy/draining thoughts and energy.

According to the chakra test, it says that I need to let go of my fear. It is sooo very true. I need to actively work on this by meditating and being closed to the nature more though :)
Or do you think I am being nuts by thinking and analyzing way too much??!! hahaha

Any thoughts? Please share your wisdom. Peace and love.

Open your under-active chakras



Comment:

1 - Root chakra

The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If it is open, you feel grounded, stable and secure. You don't unnecessarily distrust people. You feel present in the here and now and connected to your physical body. You feel you have sufficient territory.

If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. You'd easily feel unwelcome.'

7 - Crown chakra

The Crown chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. When this chakra is open, you are unprejudiced and quite aware of the world and yourself.

If it is under-active, you're not very aware of spirituality. You're probably quite rigid in your thinking.

If this chakra is over-active, you are probably intellectualizing things too much. You may be addicted to spirituality and are probably ignoring your bodily needs. LOL
