2nd Chakra Meditation

“Spirituality is not making walls in the names of religions and prophets but to make more roads and bridges to reconnect with humanity.” Amit Ray

It is interesting that many will argue over whose religious teachings are correct.  However, when you study them, the principals closely mirror each other.  Regardless of what belief system you follow, whether it be Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc., there are many important lessons that flow through all beliefs.  Those common lessons can be understood and followed for anyone wishing to grow within their soul.  They are helpful hints from our ancestors to assist all of us to find our way throughout life.  Below is a list of a few common beliefs that will help you to see that the name of your religion isn’t as important as the messages shared by all of them.

• Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. Although the exact verbiage differs, this message is clear in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Taoism.  A couple examples are the Jewish Talmud, which states “What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman.” The Hindu Mahabharata declares – “This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do unto you.”  The Islamic Sunnah, “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.”    Many of the Ten Commandments in Christianity are based on the fair and kind treatment of others. 
• Focus on the present. Buddhism emphasizes mindfulness and meditation. The Hindu Svetesvatara Upanishad recommends the “quiet retreat of Yoga”. And Jesus told his followers: “Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought of the things for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
• What goes around, comes around. Most religions have their own interpretation of Karma. Karma yoga is perhaps the central teaching from Hinduism’s Bhagavad Gita.  In this practice, it is not the action that matters but the quality of the thoughts behind the action that binds you. The core doctrine of Buddhism also teaches in the Eightfold Path that, “Whatever deeds they do – good or evil – of such they will be the heirs.” And in Christianity the Bible talks a lot about getting back what you send out.  One example is Job 4:8 which says, “As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.”
• Money shouldn’t be the primary goal in life. Being obsessed with possessions and accumulating more does not equate to happiness.  Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism all agree and point this out.  Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib says, “The parable of this world is like your shadow – If you stop, it stands still. If you chase it, it distances itself from you.” Jesus stated “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Buddhism teaches that suffering roots from our desires.

 The more educated one becomes on belief, the more perplexing the concept of hatred and use of one’s religion as a means to feel power over another completely contradicts the true core teachings within their belief system.  For those truly wishing to feed their soul and become a better spirit from within, the best place to start is by looking inside yourself.  Which of the lessons listed above do you need more practice with?  What can you do to grow into the best version of yourself?  For the summer solstice, instead of making it your goal to improve your body, why not focus on improving your soul.  That would benefit you for more than just this life time.  The positive effects would last forever.

…and yet another earthquake in LA.  Feeling emotional, ego flaring and the earth energy going into overdrive.  Stay grounded.  For details listen to the latest Earth Energy Illumination Podcast for May 8^th – May 13^th

Earth Energy Illumination News

As of 8pm a geomagnetic storm was reported. Therefore, in addition to the meteor shower which is supercharging our atmosphere, we now have a solar storm amplifing the energy. As always, those whom are sensitive to earth energy will be feeling very strong effects from this. Heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches, exhaustion, anxiety, etc. are normal during this type of activity.

Also, to add to the increasing number of earthquakes that have been reported in the past week, a rare Magnitude 4.5 Earthquake striked off the coast of Louisiana near New Orleans this afternoon. Just another reminder of the upcoming Uranus energy discussed in last weeks spirit class.

To minimize the disruption to your personal energy from all of these earth events, make sure you keep yourself grounded, take time to meditate, deep breathing techniques, yoga, take a bath, etc. to keep your energy calm and clear. Hang in there! Keep checking back or follow this blog for constant updates. I will continue to do everything I can to keep all of you posted and remind everyone it’s okay.

Today and tomorrow mark the peak for the Aquarids meteor shower.  Do not forget to take some time out and do some stargazing tonight.  Remember, when meteor showers occur, heightened earth energy follows.  These celestial events are spiritually considered to be gifts from our surrounding universe to ignite and illuminate the energy surrounding us.  Energy that is much needed right now.  It is the perfect evening to meditate, practice yoga or even go for a walk.

Those more sensitive to spiritual energy may feel spacey, dizzy, headaches, sinus pressure, rapid heart beat, etc.  All are symptoms that your physical body is connecting with this energy and correctly filtering it through your soul.  No need to worry.  Take the time out to ground today, become connected with nature and soak in the sun.  This will help assist you to maintain balance.  Below is an article about the meteor shower for some added information.  Have a beautiful day.  Sending all of you lots of love and light.

About the Aquarid Meteor Shower

As discussed in Tuesday’s Spirit Group meeting, the alignment of Uranus and Taurus is going to cause a massive shift.  In the May class there was specific mention of both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  Since Tuesday, Hawaii is experiencing a huge volcanic eruption as well as several earthquakes and an earthquake was just reported in Lake Ontario.

These recent occurrences serve as a testament to how powerfully connected we are with the solar system that surrounds us.  We are constantly given a “map” on what to expect and the energy that effects us.

We are currently experiencing the beginning of this massive planetary alignment. Uranus, which rules things like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, extreme natural disasters, is the planet that makes sudden unexpected visits that upset the old patterns in order to unstuck things that are stuck.  This energy is going to be anything but quiet and calm.  Especially over the next few months.

I have already received several messages from people struggling today.  From anxiety to heart palpitations to massive mood swings.  All of this is normal and to be expected.  As we continue to grow spiritually, we will continue to align with the earth energy and feel its “growing pains”.  This is a beautiful sign of spiritual/soul growth

This is one of the core reasons I began the Spirit Classes, to spread the word to everyone that is is okay, we are okay and it is going to be alright.  We are in this together.

Registration for June’s Spirit class is now open, however, in house seats are almost full.  The ONLINE class is also open for registration and has unlimited seating.  My goal is and always has been to help others, if you know anyone who is struggling or interested in understanding more, please spread the word.  The first online class is free for anyone wanting to check it out.

Beltane ( Throughout the Month steadily increasing until the Summer solstice)

• Beginning of May, energy is intense and increases towards the climax of the summer solstice. This energy stirs up the 2nd chakra and is know by nature as “mating season”.
• Important to keep your 2nd chakra balanced.
• As the coming weeks progress, the 2nd chakra energy will increase and heart energy will temporary combine with this chakra (around the new moon), stirring up any past blockages pertaining to loss, broken heart, grief. Use this time to release any past loves, old hurts or people whom have passed that you may be holding on to. It’s a great time to let go.

Aquarids Meteor shower

• May 6th and 7th will peak
• High charged meteor shower
• Above average shower 60 meteors per hour at its peak. Great viewing!
• The energy will be strongest during its peak
• Meteor showers cause an amplified earth energy and a deeper connection with our celestial atmosphere
• Consider it like zaps of energy surrounding the earths atmosphere

New Moon in Taurus

• May 15th
• Neck, vocal cords, throat and thyroid
• Taurus rules the heart chakra
• Focus meditations, yoga poses and breathing techniques on the heart

Uranus Aligns with Taurus

• Beginning on May 15th and continuing until November 6th- It will return back in March 2019 for a 7 year stay
• First time in 84 years since 1934 (1934-1942) – if you look back to the last time this alignment occurred you will find a list of leaders that were assassinated, WWII, the depression, the dust bowl, massive shifting of the world powers
• Taurus prides itself of staying stagnant. It is a fixed earth sign, Taurus hangs on to what it owns for dear life because it’s a matter of survival ( food, water, finances, possessions, people, etc)
• Uranus, which rules things like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, extreme natural disasters, is the planet that makes sudden unexpected visits that upset the applecart in order to unstick things that are stuck.
• Uranus in Taurus means shocks to the emphasis on materialism, consumerism, greed and keeping things as they are. It can mean a collapse in banking, a new currency being created, extreme earth patterns, change in all ego values. It means the fall of old structures that have kept things stable but have become stagnant, no longer suited to the modern world. Collapse of consumerism – the shopping centers, traditional retail outlets all recalibrating.
• Expect a shake up, more so than the warnings we are already receiving

Full Moon In Sagittarius 

• May 29th
• Sagittarius rules the 2nd chakra
• Trouble arises when the 2nd chakra and the 3rd are out at the same time.
• Liver, hips, sacrum, thighs

• Sage and palo santo your home this night
• Write and release energy forgiveness. Great night to burn and let go!
