Balance

Drum roll, please. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. This, my friends, is the 4th chakra, the heart chakra.

Welcome to part three of the seven part chakra series. Today we celebrate the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra. This is a power house of an energy center.  When this chakra is spinning harmoniously there is no stopping what you are capable of doing, nor is there a limit to the energy available to do it with. When it is off though, boy can the ego run amuck. You know self-doubt and boisterousness are two sides of the same coin, right? They are both ego: polarity expression of the same essence.

The chakra system is a system that EVERY human being has, whether you believe in energy or not. The chakras are powerful energy centers that can be found along the spinal column with two extending into the head. Last time, we focused on the root chakra.

Wide eyes and a gaped mouth. Your heart is racing and your breath picks up pace. You start to sweat as your body prepares…

You’re familiar with this feeling. Actually, we all are. These are the trademarks of stress. But for everything that’s happening on the surface, there is a rolling torrent of reactions happening inside. Our body is preparing for action: to fight or to flee.

Rarely does a full moon fall twice in a row in one astrological sign as will be the case this spring! The first Libra Full Moon falls on the same day as the Spring Equinox when the Sun enters Aries on March 20, 2019.The second Libra Full Moon occurs on April 19, 2019, the last day of Aries, just 24 hours before the Sun enters Taurus. Again, Full Moons generally occur in sequential order. So, after the Libra Full Moon, generally the Scorpio Full Moon comes next.

Down to the cellular level, the way that we nourish (or fail to nourish) our bodies is often times looked to as the single most important determinant of most everything attached to health. Even in the womb, the mother’s diet influences the child’s development on a genetic level. Yet the time we spend performing the actual act of eating is quite finite: roughly one of our 24 hours…
