Properties Precious Metals, Gems and Jewels
and their Chakra Connections
FACTOID
In
ancient times transformational gems and metals
were placed inside the Turban, and later the Crown
to enhance Spiritual Wisdom, Knowledge and Power.
Ever
wondered why we like necklaces, rings and bracelets?
People are often inexplicably attracted to and even treated
with specific gems, precious stones and-or precious metals.
Each of these resonate electromagnetically with the body
to the extent that specific beneficial effects often manifest.*
Abalone
Shell
Abalone Shell stimulates our intuition and imagination. It increases our
ability to be more emotionally expressive and encourages co-operation
between ourselves and others. Abalone Shell is very much an emotional
healing stone and is invaluable when working through emotional issues
with others as it encourages calmness and soothing in emotional situations,

is very healing to the body and especially the first

to help build and protect muscle tissue. Also benefits the heart and helps

"The human Heart is now documented as the strongest generator of both electrical
and magnetic fields in the body. Important, because we've always been taught that
the brain is where all of the action is. While the brain does have an electrical and
a magnetic field, they are both relatively weak compared to the Heart. The Heart is
about 100,000 times stronger electrically and up to 5,000 times stronger magnetically
than the brain. Important, because the physical world - as we know it - is made of
those 2 fields: electrical and magnetic fields of Energy. Physics now tells us that if
we can change either the magnetic field or the electrical field of the atom, we
literally change that atom and its elements within our body and this world.
The human Heart is designed to do BOTH." -- David Math, TruSparta

POINTS TO PONDER
The
Chakras
"Men of great knowledge actually found out about the chakras; their
workings; their petals; their sounds; their infinity; their co-relationship;
their powers. They found that the life of a human is totally based on these
chakras. They developed it into a whole science. This total science gave
birth to Kundalini Yoga. That is how Kundalini Yoga was born." --Yogi Bhajan
Chakras and the Gland Connection
Chakras Rear and Front
Why wear white?
"We wear white because it's a simple scientific fact that every piece of matter or material has a foot-and-a-half aura. Every animal has a three-and-a-half-foot aura. Every human has a nine-foot aura. And if we wear the cotton and we wear the white, this color therapy gives us one extra foot of aura. So, I trust my students will behave right, but in case they behave like animals, they will still have a margin, an edge. And that is what it's all about. You have to wear a natural fiber and you have to wear white. It's a pure color therapy and it's called auric color therapy." -- Yogi Bhajan, 3HO Beads of Truth, 1981 Spring Edition

"Chakras
are centers of activity for the reception,

BOOK
REVIEW
What
do you know about the Chakra System?
Many
people focus on a single Chakra - like the Crown Chakra for Spirituality,
the Brow Chakra for Psychic Powers, the Heart Chakra for Universal
Love, the Solar Plexus for Power (especially for those into the martial
arts) and so on - each Chakra's special attribute. And some people
try to repress the ''lower'' Chakras as morally bad. BUT the real
importance is to understand the Chakras as THE Energy System of the
entire Mind-Body-Spirit Complex.
WHEELS OF LIFE presents the Chakra System as a Formula for Wholeness
and a Template for Transformation - actually a Map for the Journey
through Life.
At the inner core of each one of us spin seven wheel-like energy centers
called "Chakras." Swirling intersections of vital life forces,
each Chakra reflects an aspect of consciousness essential to our lives.
Together the seven Chakras form a system of modeling of consciousness
that enables us to better see ourselves - in mind, body, behavior
and culture. This system is a valuable tool for personal and planetary
growth.
"Chakras are centers of activity for the reception, assimilation
and transmission of life energies."
As all our actions and understanding arise from and return to points
within ourselves, our Chakras, as core centers, form the coordinating
network of our complex mind-body system. The Chakras are the master
programs that govern our life, loves, learning and illumination. Like
a rainbow bridge, they form the connecting channel between mind and
body, spirit and matter, past and future, Heaven and Earth. As we
spin through the tumultuous times of our present era, the Chakras
are the gears that turn the spiral of evolution, drawing our attention
toward the still untapped frontiers of consciousness and its infinite
potential.
"Wheels of Life" is a system about a system - journeying
the reader through the seven major Chakras with theory, example, practical
application and experiential exercises to accomplish the great work
of personal transformation. Each consciousness is a unit in the evolutionary
process moving us from what we are to what we can become, and through
that process we realize ourselves as magicians, healers and visionaries.
"Wheels of Life" takes us through each Chakra to fulfill
its potentials and then transforms and makes us whole.
The journey is taken step-by-step, with each step bringing practical
advantages in the development of inherent skills and abilities to
meet the increasingly critical challenges of life in our times. Your
life is filled with meaning and purpose. Your destiny is "Enlightenment."
Now, you must take the first step. -- See Reflexology Foot Chart. See Mudras. See Disclaimer.
