Seasonal Energy
|  Spring cycles into Summer
Flow and grow with the seasons to enhance your energy.Springtime. Flowing and growing into a quickening. Ch'i rises. Energy percolates. Seeds tremble and shoot forth new
growth. Branches bud and unfurl
into leaves.
All life to stretches
into new light green hues. It's
blossom time. Like a tree, grow into your next cycle of up and out and down and in,
rooted here and now in a blossoming spring.
The rapid
activating ch'i surges through you and through this spring. Just as the newly bursting
life arrives with enthusiasm and exclamation it begins peaking. The wheel turns into
another season. The season of
warmth. The season where a fuller
and richer pulse is felt. The summer. Summer is the
ripening time. All of nature grows
and matures. So do you. It's time for you to ripen in new
ways. Like a tree, allowing your
branches to reach and stretch into new ripening thoughts and ideas. Expand into new feelings of joy and
happiness. Sweat into new physical
growth and strengthen your body.
Experience the prosperity of your spirit as big, as wide, as warm and as
golden as the sun. Just like the sun.
The sun is closer. It's warmth nourishes you and all of nature with its solar
life force. Days are longer. Life heats up. New buds give way to new fruit.
And you give way to
a new you. What will you ripen
into this summer? What fruit will
you grow? Follow the energy of ripening.
Drink in the sun. And laugh yourself into new ways of smiling. Experience the sunshine radiating from
you and all life. Flow and grow. |

Health is An Inside Job: Tip #10
|  Solar Plexus Chakra
Acheivement. Self-esteem. Enthusiasm.
Confidence. Mental clarity. Will. Power.
It's the chakra of get-yourself-out-there, break-a-leg, I can do it! The solar activating fire power of your energy system. It's your ability to accomplish and create in the world of
doing.
When's it's imbalance, you become doubtful of your ability to do things. Your self-worth diminishes. You lack drive and force. Your zip has been sapped.
When it's in balance you are self-confident, self-respecting and full of the forward thinking drive needed to accomplish your creations.
Your
chakra system is the store house for every thought and emotion you think
and feel. The solar plexus chakra, also called the third chakra, manipura, or the lustrous gem, is located at the solar nerve plexus.
The solar plexus chakra has the following characteristics:
Governs: Upper abdomen and organs, bones and muscles in this area of your body
Major psychological function: Personal power, thinking, self-esteem, achieving energy
Color: Yellow
Sound: "Haaa" as in "Ha"
Strengthen your solar plexus chakra by doing The Woodchopper.
Use the "Ha" sound of this chakra as you do this exercise. This is also beneficial in releasing anger and irritation.
There are three positions in this exercise:
1. Stand with your feet apart, slightly more than your shoulder width.
2. Clasp your hands together and raise your arms above your head. Reach up and slightly back, arching your back slightly. Hold "the woodchopper".
3. Swing your entire upper body downward bringing your hands, the woodchopper, between and through your legs.
Make your movement smooth, fluid and quick emitting the sound "ha" as you do so. Feel your force and power moving through you.
Repeat this sequence 5 times. Feel the aftermath. What do you notice about your energy?
