By developing an awareness of these threshold energy fields in yourself, you will begin to sense other people's chakras. Increase your awareness by working with each of your Chakras in turn

** see chakras **

Chakras need to be Balanced

The Chakras need to be kept in Balance, for optimum Physical, Mental & Spiritual Health

The Chakras sometimes can refuse to 'close' or 'open'

This is refered to as being 'passive' or 'active' - reflecting the movement of energy through them. Different type of natural elemental energy provide ' food' for the Chakras. Recognizing their qualities, makes it much easier to balance the Chakras. If you do relaxation excercise, you will with practise sense whether your Chakras are receptive to flow of natural energy or not. By clearing Chakra blockages, you enhance your potential for vibrant Health & Spiritual development

 

The Caduceus

This symbol is a staff entwined with 2 serpents bearing a pair of wings at the top,

which was carried by Hermes (Mercury) - the Messenger of the gods

'The Caduceus' is a symbol for the awakening of the 7 Major Chakras

It is the third eye that communicates the visual manifestation of the highest realms of our highest mind and opening it up, leads to flashes of insight, clairvoyance, genius and ultimate creativity. Some say it is the 'God-spot' within the brain and that when we succeed in "opening" it, we will be gifted with the insight to piece the inner nature of every person

The different methods of opening the third eye, ranges from

1. opening the 'chakras' of the body

2. concentration

3. meditation & visualisations

4. the symbolic rubbing of the third eye-location on the forehead

5. Crystals, Herbs & Incence

When the third eye opens, it does so very slowly, bringing great clarity of thought. Everything becomes more clearer and there is more focus. By developing a higher level of consciousness, gives a more meaningful blueprint for living life.There are no limits to what we can achieve, or to our ambitions. There are simply no limits to our life. There are definitely other worlds / dimensions of existence out there, of which we are yet unaware
