The situation is irritating and surprising at the same time. Why is it that educated, smart and kind person cannot find someone equally kind? What is wrong? The answer and the remedy can be found in the Chakra profile.

 Let’s see how the Chakra Profile can help or prevent someone from finding the love of their life.

We all have different Chakra profiles and instinctively are looking for people who compensate for lack or excess of energy (Chi) in us.

From the energy (Chi) point of view, the algorithm of love is simple. It is an elegant hidden dance between the Chakras of two people.

A woman always plays an active part in initiating the Chi exchange by checking the compatibility between man’s Heart Chakras and her own. When she finds his Chakra attractive and unattached, she “holds” the two chakras together. The man feels this and checks the compatibility between his and the woman’s Sacral Chakras. When two Heart Chakras and Two Sacral Chakras are a match they connect like magnets. The energetic circle is complete and the energy of love, like an electric surge, excites two people and pushes them together. The longer a couple lives together the more Chakras connect and grow into each other.

You might have noticed that in couples who have been married for a long time, the husband and wife look alike. The impression is created by the combined energy field (combined auras) of two people whose Chakras are bound together for life.

Let’s see how different Chakras affect our romantic luck.

Chakra 1 – Base Chakra, is the foundation of our emotional and physical wellbeing. According to ancient texts this Chakra is responsible for our sense of confidence and grounding. The imbalance manifests itself in a feeling of insecurity, weakness, and unworthiness.  The person with a closed Base Chakra is shy and feels lonely and unsupported by the community, parents and friends. He or she is the perfect target for a bully or a sexual predator.

In short: a person with a closed, undeveloped or blocked Base Chakra is a potential victim, a person with an overdeveloped Chakra– is an assailant.

The person with a balanced Base Chakra manifests confidence, strength and self-reliance.  Even the physical appearance says: I can offer help to those in need, but don’t mess with me – I am strong enough to protect myself and those around me.

Chakra 2 – Sacral Chakra, the cradle of our sexual powers.  This Chakra is used by men to “check-out” women, to see if they are is unattached and open for sex.

When the Sacral Chakra is closed in women, this Chakra makes the person “invisible” to the opposite sex. They see you, they talk to you, but they do not pay any attention to you, no matter how beautiful you are. In men it can lead to impotence, lack of interest in sex, or in total confusion when approached by ladies.

Victims of sexual assault often have the Second Chakra closed.

Those with balanced Sacral Chakras are very desirable partners and fun to be around as this Chakra also nourishes our creativity.

Chakra 3 – The Power Chakra, helps us to do things, it is the energy of our will.

When closed, it manifests itself in lack of initiative and weak will. The person with a closed Power Chakra is a toy in the hands of others and lets the partner continue abuse without asking for help. Obedient victims only find excuses for a partner’s unforgivable behaviors (no matter physical abuse or infidelity).

People with an overactive Power Chakra are aggressive, angry bullies, unable to control the overflow of energy coming out from the Power Chakra.

Partners with balanced Power Chakras are well organized, have strong will and are respectful to wishes of others.

 Chakra 4 – Heart Chakra, the Chakra of unconditional love.  People with a closed Heart Chakra have an extremely difficult time finding a suitable person to date. A woman with a closed Heart Chakra has a hard time manifesting her intentions to find a mate. A man with this Chakra closed does not see the opportunity when he is approached by a woman.

Separation, divorce, death in the family or betrayal is just a few causes of a closed Heart Chakra. That’s why so many people find it difficult to get a new partner immediately after previous relationship collapses.

People with this Chakra opened are generous and well loved by others.

Chakra 5 – Throat Chakra, the gift of self-expression. This is where people present themselves to the world.

When closed, it creates difficulties with communication which can lead to misunderstanding and broken relationships.

Chakra 6 – The Third Eye Chakra is the Chakra of intuition. This is where we scan another person’s  body language, appearance and have an educated guess: he loves me, he loves me not.

People with this Chakra closed always tend to make wrong farfetched assumptions: “He did not look at me when he entered the office. He hates me. I am worthless”. “He looked at me when I said that I lost my pen – he definitely loves me. We are going to get married soon.” The cause and effect logic is lost to people with a closed Third Eye Chakra.

People with an opened Third Eye Chakra see only facts and never make fanciful assumptions, saving moans and torments for more worthy occasions.

Chakra 7 – The Crown Chakra is our connection to spirituality. It brings us peace and tranquility and helps us to make moral decisions. It is our guide to what is right and wrong. It is our guard against falling for somebody who is not right for us.

If you feel that one or more of these imbalanced Chakra descriptions tells the story of your life, it is time to take some action and have your Chakra profile evaluated and balanced by a Reiki practitioner.

There is still some time left until the Valentine’s Day.

Raindrop, the aromatherapy session, was developed by naturopathic doctor to assist clients who require frequent chiropractic adjustment. The idea to apply essential oils along the spine came to him after realization that sometimes structural misalignment might be caused not just by structural damage but also by infections and inflammations along the spine

What is a Raindrop Session?

It starts with the gentle application of essential oils to your feet with technique called Vitaflex that is originated in Tibet and is similar to Reflexology. Than a few drops of essential oils are applied and spread to your back, along the spine, it is follow with light massage and warm towel compress that stimulates penetration of essential oils. Raindrop session lasts for about one hour.

During the Raindrop session the following therapeutic grade oils are used:

• Oregano – considered to be one of the most potent anti infectious and anti parasitic oils.
• Thyme – is very strong antiviral and anti fungal oil.
• Basil – helps to relax voluntary and involuntary muscles. It releases any spasm that might stiffen your movement or cause pain.
• Wintergreen – has cortisone-like effect and analgesic properties and helps to deal with any immediate pain you might experience.
• Marjoram – is relaxing to voluntary and involuntary muscles, it also has analgesic and antibacterial properties.
• Cypress – supports circulatory and lymphatic systems.
• Peppermint – supports digestive, respiratory and nervous systems and helps integrate the effect of essential oils.

Raindrop session might help with:

• Bringing the body into structural alignment.
• Elimination of back pain and disfigurement
• Relief from skin conditions
• Relaxation and invigoration
• Increase in energy levels

Relief from emotional issues and depression

The benefits include:

• Skin rejuvenation. Sauna use slowly restores elimination through the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and a major eliminativechannel. In most people, it is inactive, congested and toxic. Sun exposure,use of synthetic clothing, bathing in chlorinated water and exposure tohundreds of chemicals damage the skin. Excessive sympathetic nervoussystem activity and emotions such as fear, anger and guilt cause blood to bewithdrawn from the skin, contributing to inactivity of the skin.

• Enhanced sweating. Sweating in a sauna is a by-product of applying heat to the body. The sweating process gently and safely helps eliminate all heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Medical studies demonstrate that most toxins can be eliminated through the skin, relieving the burden on the kidneys and liver. Sweating increases dramatically in most people after several months of daily sauna use. Sweating during exercise is not nearly as effective for detoxification because exercise activates the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous activity inhibits toxin elimination.

• Exercise benefits. Saunas provide many of the benefits of exercise with much less expenditure of energy. These include enhanced circulation and oxidation of the tissues. Repeated sauna use can lower elevated blood pressure and improve the elasticity of the arteries. Saunas are most helpful for cardiovascular rehabilitation, arthritis, allergies, skin conditions and chemical sensitivity.

• Decongesting the internal organs. Heating the body powerfully shunts blood toward the skin to dissipate heat. This decongests the internal organs and greatly stimulates circulation. Sinuses, joints and many other tissues benefit greatly.

• Fever therapy (hyperthermia) for infections. Raising body temperature powerfully assists the body to kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. Many people have a low body temperature and, for this reason, cannot get rid of chronic infections. Common sites of infections are the sinuses, ears, eyes, bladder, throat and intestines.

• Tumors, radiation poisoning and mutated cells. Hyperthermia also helps kill other types of abnormal cells. Tumors, for example, tolerate heat poorly. Raising body temperature hastens their death. Though not a conventional method, hyperthermia is a well-researched therapy for cancer. Heat also disables or kills cells mutated by radiation or damaged by other toxins.

• Inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system. This is tremendous benefit not offered by many therapies of any kind. It enables the body to relax, heal and regenerate itself much faster, causing recovery from many types of ailments.

Reiki is a healing modality in the long line of energy healing techniques. It all started 5,000 years ago with Ayurveda, the oldest functioning wellness systems in the world that is still in use by thousands of doctors today.

Reiki is a therapy that the practitioner delivers through the hands, with intent to balance the energy (Chi, Qi, Prana) of the client and to balance/open Meridians, Chakras, Marmas. It can be safely practiced with other alternative therapies, and with any modern medical treatments.

Reiki (as any energy healing before it) can be used to balance our energy’s, restore body’s coherency and assist in self-healing.

Numerous research in China and India showed strong connection between disease, emotions and our energy field. And doctors all over the world now use hundreds of energy balancing protocols to assist their patients.

Do not use if pregnant, have serious inflammation, a fever, a communicable disease, acute bleeding, or intoxicated.

Medications

Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician or a pharmacist for possible changes in the drugs effect when the body is exposed to infrared waves or elevated body temperature. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms.  Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.

Children

The core body  temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

The Elderly

The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. When using with the elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Cardiovascular Conditions Individuals   with   cardiovascular  conditions or  problems  (hypertension  / hypo  tension), congestive  heart  failure,  impaired  coronary circulation  or  those  who  are  taking  medications  which  might  affect  blood  pressure should  exercise caution  when  exposed  to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal  body  heat  to  the  outside  environment via the skin (perspiration)  and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential  to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.

Alcohol / Alcohol Abuse

Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication  decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress.

Chronic Conditions  / Diseases Associated With a Reduced Ability to Sweat or Perspire Multiple  Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating.

 Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding

The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.

Fever

An individual who has a fever should not use an infrared sauna until the fever subsides.

Insensitivity  to Heat

An individual with insensitivity to heat should not use an infrared sauna.

Pregnancy

Pregnant women must consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.

Menstruation

Women could not use the sauna during the menstrual period. Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase their menstrual flow.

Joint Injury

If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after an injury or until the swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond  poorly  to  vigorous  heating  of  any kind.

Implants

Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physi- cian prior to using an infrared sauna.

The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doc- tor the possible risks this may cause.

From Ayurvedic point of view Lavender is the perfect oil that is suitable for any person. And I truly believe that no medicine cabinet or pantry should go without it.

Lavender has been used continuously for centuries to enhance food and for health as dried flowers, herbed oils, and essential oils. People were using Lavender from washing linens to soothing teas, from hiding under the corset of beautiful ladies for a pleasant smell to healing wounds of a soldier.

It is important to say that among various species of Lavender only Lavandula officinalis (other names: Lavandula angustifora, Lavandula vera) can be used therapeutically. Therapeutic Lavender is not cheap and is the most often adulterated oil. There are more than 30 different types of Lavender oils for sale. Not all of them are of a therapeutic and organic grade. Some species of Lavender contain too much ketones and are too toxic to be used in aromatherapy. Buy your lavender only from the reputable sources.

Medicinal properties of Lavender:

• Analgetic (arthritis/rheumatism, muscle pain, bruises)
• Antibacterial (according to some research it is effective against: diphtheria, pneumonia, acute sinusitis, otitis media, meningitis, sepsis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, peritonitis, pericarditis, cellulitis, brain abscess, urinary tract infections, E. coli, septicemia, ankylosing spondylitis, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus, salmonella, staphylococcus, streptococcus, gastrointestinal illness to name a few)
• Antifungal (candida, nail infection, chlamydia, tinea capitis)
• Anti-inflammatory (eczema, insect bites, sinusitis, cystitis, bruises, spraines, acne, otitis)
• Antiseptic (acne, bronchial secretions, cystitis, otitis, skin infection, influenza, sinusitis, tuberculosis)
• Antispasmodic (cramps, coughing)
• Balancing (nervous system)
• Calming, sedative (headaches, migranes, anxiety, insomnia, sleep problems)
• Cardiotonic  (tachycardia)
• Carminative (flatulence, colic)
• Cicatrizant (burns, scars, varicose ulcers, wounds)
• Emmenagogic (scanty periods)
• Hypotensor (hypertension)

At this point you might feel completely overwhelmed.

Not to worry. Follow these simple rules to be on the safe side:

• Always consult doctor if you have any serious problems. Never self-diagnose or self-medicate.
• Never drink essential oils.
• Never put essential oils in your eyes, nose, or on private parts.
• Only use essential oils from the reputable sources

The following are a few suggestions on how safely use lavender for your family.

• Insect repellent:

o   Add few drops to a skin lotion, apply just before your daily walk in the park

o   Put a few drops on your hands, rub together, than rub your body just before going out

o   While traveling, put a drop on your bed and a drop on the pillow

Note: for outdoor use you will need to reapply essential oil every few hours.

• Insect bites – apply one drop and rub in.
• Burns – apply one drop immediately, do not rub if the blister appears. For the bigger burns: soak gauze and gently cover the injured place, and go to the hospital.
• Skin rushes – apply a few drops, gently rub. Contact the doctor if the rushes persist and no improvements show in the next day or two.
• Small cuts – apply 1-2 drops. It will disinfect, ease the pain and help with healing.
• Cough, cold, flu, sinus infection – diffuse the oil in the room for a couple of hours or as long as you want. 20 drops to 1 cup of water.
• Ear infection – 1 drop of Lavender massage around the ear. 1 drop of Lavender (can be mixed with 1 drop of Chamomile) on the cotton ball, place a cotton ball into the ear. Must be applied to both ears even when the pain affects only one.
• Insomnia – diffuse the oil in the room during the night. 20 drops to 1 cup of water. Puts restless babies to sleep like a charm.
• Headache – 1 drop of lavender (can be mixed with 1 drop of Peppermint) applied around the hairline.
• Muscle pain, arthritis, back pain – ease the pain by applying 1-2 drops of Lavender directly to the affected area.
• Depression, anxiety, mood swings – diffuse the oil in the room for a couple of hours or as long as you want. 20 drops to 1 cup of water.
• Ice-cream – yummy.  Only use therapeutic or food grade oil for it. Instead of vanilla flavoring add 1 drop of Lavender oil for 2 cups of ice-cream mixture before putting it in the ice-cream maker. It adds unforgettable flavor.

A word about diffusers: Only use cold diffusers (ionic diffusers) because heat destroys therapeutic properties of essential oils.

So, how can one be happy with life just 2 days in a week? Just 104 days in a year. Just 23 years of one’s life?

You read all the self-help books, took all the career development classes, but nothing changes. You are stuck. And your most popular mantra “I love my job” does not work anymore.

Probably it is time to put aside some new books (full of tantalizingly new ideas) and look at some old books. How about a really old book? Getting the wisdom from the system that is 5,000 years old and counting makes sense to me. I am talking about Ayurveda.

The main focus of Ayurveda, a wellness system from India, is to create a balance, a flow, on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual – because without the balance one cannot achieve his or her highest potentials. So how can it help you?

Ayurveda recognizes energy point in human body that reflect our physical and emotional state. They are divided in two groups: Chakras and Marma points. There are 7 Chakras and about 200 (depending on the school) Marma points. By evaluating and balancing Chakras trained practitioner affects not just emotional and physical state of the patient, but also the success of their career advances and family life.

Sounds too good to be true? Let’s take a closer look at the Chakra system.

Chakra 1

Chakra 1 – Base Chakra, is the foundation of our emotional and physical wellbeing. According to ancient texts this Chakra is responsible for our sense of security and grounding. The imbalance manifests itself in high stress level, feeling of insecurity, and high levels of anxiety. Would you do a business with the person who is nervous, jittery and does not meet your eyes? I thought so, neither would I.

The person with balanced Base Chakra manifests confidence, integrity and thrustworthiness.

Chakra 2

Chakra 2 – Sacral Chakra, reflect our creativity. Nothing happens in our lives without creativity. Apparently simple acts of everyday life like cooking, conversation and writing an e-mail require imagination not mentioning projects at work that demand out-of-the-box thinking.

Without creativity there is no career advantage, there is also no job satisfaction or business development.

You can learn to fake confidence, but it is impossible to fake creativity.

Chakra 3

Chakra 3 – Power Chakra represents Will. You might be very creative person but without will, the desire and ability to implement ideas, ideas become fantasies. Malfunction of this Chakra manifests itself in the inability to organize the day, follow the plan or finish the task.

Everything is so hard to do, your day seams busy. But in reality nothing productive is achieved. Even one simple ten minut task seams so huge, that it “occupies” your whole day.

People with balanced Third Chakra achieve the impossible, squeezing 48 productive hours in a single day with ease.

Chakra 4

Chakra 4 – Heart Chakra, the Chakra of love. This is the Chakra with which we give and receive unconditional love to family, friends, co-workers, clients. And how love can affect our carrier or business success?

Malfunction of this chakra shows itself in inability to manifest love and to feel appreciation and love of others. Constant irritation, stress and disappointment with lost clients, deals and opportunities – sounds familiar?

We do not like going to people who do not like us. So if you do not like your clients or cannot manifest your love – don’t be surprised that the retention level is low.

We do not like to perform jobs that are not valued in community. And it is hard to do any job that you do not like or feel unappreciated.

Yes, love can be faked, but people feel the difference.

Chakra 5

Chakra 5 – Throat Chakra: self-expression. This Chakra helps to express our feelings and ideas, and manage tasks and people. Without manifesting our ideas in words (written or spoken) they are nothing. You might have a magnificent world hidden inside you, but without descriptions – it is a corpse of a fantasy and nothing more.

In the beginning it was the Word. People with malfunctioning 5th Chakra might have communication problems and speak so quietly that it is hard to hear them even by standing close.

Without your own voice even faking confidence and love become problematic.

Chakra 6

Chakra 6 – Third Eye Chakra is the Chakra of intuition, the eye into the world of unknown.

None of us can predict the future, but nevertheless…

When this chakra functions properly we can understand the consequences of our actions, we can predict the outcome of our projects, and accept even the worst situations (and by accepting we can use our 2^nd creative Chakra to find the solution).

Without it we are lost: we are uncertain of the outcome of even the simplest actions, we are scared, we do not want to see the truth, we cannot change the situation, we are out of control, we live in the fantasy and it hurts.

When it is open we plan with confidence, we can find the solution to the pressing issues, we stay calm, we are in command and are ready to maneuver in the ever-changing stream of life.

Chakra 7

Chakra 7 – The Crown Chakra is our connection to the spirituality. It brings us peace and tranquility and helps to make moral decisions. It is our guide to what is right and wrong.

When closed it makes us confused, depressed and unbalanced. When open it shines with honesty, trustworthiness and reliability, beaming into the world our true self.

Chakras can be balanced with Reiki, meditation, Yoga, and other holistic modalities.

Ayurveda is the art of longevity, the art of living happier and healthier days from the beginning to the end of our lives. And the longevity of the system itself is a living proof of its effectiveness. It is about lifestyle and balance, and it is so simple and so easy to adapt to any condition that UN declared that it can be successfully used to improve general health of the population in undeveloped countries where resources are scarce and problems are plentiful.

Yoga is a part of Ayurveda. And as it might surprise many of its fans was not developed as the aid to losing weight, but as a daily practice to keep our mind, body and body’s energy (Prana) in balance.

What energy? And why does it need balancing? Ayurveda recognizes that our body has an energy field that affects our emotional and physical state. This energy field was called Aura, and it consists of Chakras, Marma Points and Nadins.

For example: Ayurveda teaches that closed or damaged Base Chakra affects not just our stress level, but our relationship with parents and siblings as well, and might cause leg pain , lower back pain and various skin problems.

Traditional Chinese Medicine that evolved approximately at the same time also recognizes Human energy field and divides it into Acupuncture points and Meridians.

Acupuncture points system is very similar to Chakra/Marma system. Nadins are similar to Meridians.

Many of you might be familiar with Qi Gong (pronounced chi-gung) and Tai Chi. Both are practiced with the same goal as Yoga – to balance the body’s energy (in Traditional Chinese Medicine it is called Chi).

There are many schools of Qi Gong and Tai Chi. As one of the Tai Chi teachers told me: many rivers – one principle. The only setback that Yoga, Qi Gong and Tai Chi have in common is that one has to practice for many years to achieve the ability to control the energy (Prana, Chi or Ki in Japanese).

The great achievement of Reiki is that it overcomes this obstacle.

At the beginning of the 20th century Japanese Qi Gong practitioner developed a new modality that revolutionized the way one can learn basics on how to control Chi in a very short period of time. His name was Usui Sensei and he called it Reiki.

Reiki (as any energy healing before it) can be used to balance our energy’s, restore body’s coherency and assist in self-healing.

Numerous research in China and India showed strong connection between disease, emotions and our energy field. And doctors all over the world now use hundreds of energy balancing protocols to assist their patients.

Reiki opens the door. It is the beginning of your fascinating journey into the magical world of Chi healing and endless possibilities.

Each of our organs runs on… electricity. In 1924 the Nobel Prize was awarded to W. Einthoven for discovery of heart’s electricity. And as we know electricity produces magnetic field. Nowadays numerous devices from EKG to fertility monitors use readings from our bio-magnetic field to give doctors valuable information about the state of our health.

Using bio-magnetic field for evaluation is actually not very 21 century. For millenniums it was used in different healing systems throughout the world. In the East, for example, the Seven energy vortexes that float over our body like flowers are called Chakras, which in Sanskrit means “wheels”. As a part of Ayurveda, the wellness system originated in India, they were successfully used by Indian doctors and their patients for over 5,000 years to help the body heal itself.

According to ancient texts Chakras effect our body, emotions and mind in the most profound way. When all our Chakras are balanced we perform at the top of our abilities.

Seven Chakras, seven notes, seven colors. Seven smells? Essential oils can be used to balance Chakras and bring harmony to our life.

Why essential oils have such en effect? Essential oils are not just combination of alcohols, phenols and terpenes. Each has its own pranic/chi energy or frequencies and these silent sounds (“magnetic waves”) make Chakras “sing” again.

They work the same way as tuning forks. Hit one of the forks and the other one of the same note that was silent just a moment ago began to sing in unison.

Essential oils change our emotional profile easily and not just because their sweet smell is associated with blooming meadows, but also because their small molecules penetrate blood brain barrier effortlessly targeting different parts of the  brain on biochemical level. By effecting emotions we effect Chakras and by effecting Chakras we remove hidden blockages fine-tuning our emotional and physical harmony.
