A light in the darkness

In my last post, I discussed the connection between our emotions and our levels of consciousness. I was convinced by this argument, but then Hawkins introduced a new concept to me of consciousness and energy centers.  As I was talking about levels of consciousness with specified amounts of energies. Within our body operates an energy system. Now, our body is full of channels (nadis), and the focal point where all these channels converge is known as the chakras , or energy vortex, which radiates electromagnetic energies that have the power to give as well as receive energies . These chakras run down our spine and are seven in number. These chakras build connections between body parts and our emotions. We can analogy it to a flowing river. We all face emotional wounds and traumas. These emotional wounds and traumas can block the electromagnetic energies from the chakras and thus prevent them from delivering prana, or life force (a/k/a kundalini energy), to our bodies. When there is...

When I was in school, I never believed in energy levels and consciousness-like things. As I grew and developed an interest in psychology, I found how our conscious and unconscious selves affect us. Though I was not much into energy centers of our body, I feel some contents can be grasped with positivity and can build our life. I will begin with the map of consciousness developed by Dr. David R. Hawkins, taken from Simon Power's post on "what is the map of consciousness." This awareness about consciousness was enlightening for me. Hawkins says that everything in this universe emits energy, either positive or negative. I agree with him here.

This is because they emit negative energy. On the other hand, we all want to befriend those who have offered help when we needed it unconditionally, those who ha...

In my last post, I discussed the role emotions play in the process of letting go. So, emotions are an integral part of letting go, and we need to be aware of these emotions. AWARE?? We are always aware of our emotions, isn't it?  How many times have you all said that I don't know why I fought with him/her? or something happened and I reacted in this way? or I don't know why my mood is not good? These all show that we are not aware of our emotions. I have faced this many times, and through hard lessons I have to learn to be aware of my emotions.  I remember one of my job scenarios where I had to leave my city for the job. Something was troubling me from within, and I don't know what? I went to that place to join. By evening, my peace was totally gone, and I just cannot sit or relax at all. For me, having this job was important, but for my survival, my peace was the necessity. I started questioning myself: Why am I not happy when I am getting a job? I had no answer. Night...
