What’s Blocking You From Manifesting your Desires

I don’t know about you, but when the The Secret first came out, I was super excited. I followed all the steps. I was able to manifest some small stuff, but what about the big stuff, like the mansions and a love life? What I think The Secret failed to address is there are life lessons, timing and underlying blocks in our psyche that slow us down from living the dream life. One area that can block your manifestations is blocked chakras.

Chakras are the energy centers in your body. They also happen to correspond to your glands. Chakras are seen as being spinning wheels of energy in your body. There are seven powerful energy centers align with your spine and each correspond to a different level of energy. Right now my Root Chakra is blocked, which is triggering me to feel insecure. You can check out my Cheeky Chakras post in regards to the type of Chakras and tools used to balance them. Now what does this have to do with blocking your manifestations?

The chakras provide a map to help us achieve our goal. If a chakra is blocked, we need to look at the issue to heal and change our mindset to see it as an opportunity to regroup and/or adjust to the situation. Manifesting, or co-creation, can be viewed through the downward pathway of the chakras as the process of creating energies/spiritual connections we want more of in our lives (crown chakra) through something tangible we create in the world (root chakra). Therefore, if you are trying to manifest the yacht you always wanted without success, your Root, Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras could be blocked.

So, the next time you think manifestation just doesn’t work, try cleaning up your blocked chakras. Once all your chakras are aligned, who knows what you will be able to manifest.

When Pigs Fly!

“When pigs fly!” exclaimed Marty McFly in Back to the Future, when hearing about the glorious hover boards. Ok so…maybe not… but, what a phrase! That sentence above, describes the following idiom, which is something that is very unlikely to happen, something improbable, something that only a gullible person would believe.

I have heard “When pigs fly” throughout my life. Everywhere from Lewis Carroll’s Alice and Wonderland to the names of different restaurants throughout the USA and even a fantastic statue in one of Ireland’s Airports. However….where does it come from? I search the Internet and found that it was recorded in a Latin-English dictionary, A Shorte Dictionarie for Yonge Begynners, published in 1616. It stated “Pigs fly in the ayre with their tayles forward.” This was originally used as a sarcastic remark to demonstrate something overly optimistic. Eventually, the phrase was switch around to the more come phrase we hear today.

Just a quick fun extra, a pig did fly on the 4th November 1909. John Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara took a small pig with him on board an aeroplane. So, I guess pigs do fly. I always did like to think of the phrase more like making the impossible possible.

Doors of the Mind

Have you ever wanted to unlock the mysteries of your mind? There is a game people play and it is called Red Door, Yellow Door. It is a “paranormal game”, which has made a resurgence the past 5 years. Typically, teenagers and college students have been engaging in this game. This ritual is also known as “Black Door, White Door” or “Doors of the Mind”. One person acts as a guide, puts you into a trance and leads you through doors and rooms in your mind. To play this game you need at least 2 people.

Many people describe the trance as an awaken dream state, often following the other person’s voice as a guide through this dream world and deciding together which doors to take. The person in the trance is encouraged to answer all questions honestly until the guide decides to end the game. But beware, there are some warnings and signs of danger to keep in mind. To avoid the danger, there is an extensive list of rules you should follow, in order to come out of the game safety. Something I have notice is that the list of rules do not start the game in the right direction. Granted, this is to explore the inner workings of your mind, but it may be best at the beginning to state out loud that you just want to be exposed to your highest good. You and your guide should also state you would only allow positive and loving energy in the game. Hopefully, this would help with some of the issues that can occur within the game.

That being said, there are tons of YouTube videos of people playing the Red door, Yellow door game. If you are curious, they are interesting to watch. I personally have not tried the game. It does seem to have the potential to help you gain greater knowledge about yourself. Will I try this in the future? I am not sure at this point, but it was interesting to learn about.

Immune System Boost with a Fun Guy…Oops… I mean Fungi

That Fungi is Mushrooms to be exact! Medicinal mushrooms are great on treating a variety of conditions, which also have been used in medicines throughout history.

An example of mushrooms being used through history starts with a man frozen in ice around 3300 BCE (nicknamed Ötzi). He was discovered in an alpine glacier in 1991. He was carrying a medicinal birch polypore used to fight parasites and other infections. Another big discovery, this time in modern history, a little antibiotic named penicillin was developed in 1928, when Alexander Fleming extracted beneficial properties from fungus. There are tons of examples throughout history from the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, Japanese etc. the list goes on and on. But, what are the 5 best immune supporting mushrooms you should incorporate into your diet today? Check out the list below, as we dive into the mystical world of mushrooms.

Astrological Psychology

Have you tried everything you can think of in the attempt to figure out the issues in your life? Has traditional methods of psychology not provided you with the results you needed? Perhaps you should give another form of psychology a try. Get ready for it… Astrological Psychology with a Psychological Astrologer. Astrological Psychology is a branch of psychology which uses Astrology as a diagnostic tool. It can also be used as a resource and guide on life’s journey. It also encourages us to take full responsibility for ourselves and our actions.

How did Astrological Psychology get started? This is due to Carl Jung. Carl Jung’s views in psychology, and his later interest in astrology, resulted in an important research study in this area. Astrology, for Carl Jung, is the summation of all ancient knowledge of psychology. The twelve signs configure what Carl Jung called “archetypes”, which are psychological patterns or models that inhabit the collective unconscious. He declared on multiple occasions that he verified that certain psychological states or specific events correlated with planetary movement.

You are now probably wondering, what can this do for me exactly? Psychological Astrologer, Dr. Jennifer Freed, PhD, states that people want to understand why things are happening. They want to know is this an issue within me, or is it something happening to me? “I can tell by the charts and the cycles, whether your problem is something within you — that’s your intrapsychic conflict, or if it’s an external event that’s a part of a cycle that you’re being asked to learn from.”

Now, with some insight on the benefits of Astrological Psychology, would you be open to trying this type of psychology? Personally, I think it might be worth it, just to see if you could gain any additional insights on an issue in your life that can’t seem to be explained.

IKEA: A Relationship Killer?

Have you ever been on a road trip with a significant other and realized that after spending so much time together and disagreeing on everything that maybe your relationship will not work? I think at some point, people have had an eye opening experience while traveling with each other, in which they would not have gained until much later in the relationship. Well, move over road trip, there is a new King in town that will test your relationship and that King is IKEA.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, relationship experts state that a trip to Ikea will lead to an argument.

Ramani Durvasula, Santa Monica, Calif., therapist spoke with the Wall Street Journal and explained the thinking behind why furniture building is a “pressure cooker” environment:

‘Walking through the kitchens brings up touchy subjects, like who does most of the cooking. Then you get to the children’s section, which opens up another set of issues. And that’s before you’ve even tried assembling anything.”

Ramani Durvasula also stated that, “Furniture assembly often causes more friction than the shopping experience, according to March data from consumer research firm CivicScience. It surveyed nearly 7,000 adults and found that among those who assemble furniture together, 17% said they always get into arguments, compared with only 6% who said they often argue while shopping together.”

Ramani Durvasula has embraced the retailer as an exercise tool for communication. She requests couples to put together a large piece of IKEA furniture at home and has them report back to her on how it went. This exercise is supposed to bring a couple together, or highlight the major problems in their relationship.

So, the next time you are wondering if this person is a the “one”, maybe you should go buy some large IKEA furniture to make sure.
